Looking for a TCP accelerator card with Linux aupport
Hi linux-il folks, A friend mine recently bought an Alacritech TCP accelerator card for a Linux server, only to find out that Alacritech supports any operating system you want, as long as it starts with 'W' and comes from Redmond :-) - back to the distributor it went. Seriously, can anyone recommend a TCP accelerator card with decent Linux support (2.6 kernels) available locally? Bonus points for an iSCSI accelerator.

Where are you, and who is your ISP? I'm in TA my connection is not slow or faulty, and I use actcom. The problem is more subtle than that. I have f.ex. Opera and it works fine. The problem is a specific combination of FF 1.5.0.10 or 2.0, my firewall and ad blocks and the net. I am working on this on and off with support.

[OT]: Multi-Home Power
My question is off-topic, but I know that some of the subscribers of this list administer server rooms, so it may be a good idea to ask it here. And it's interesting... Do you know these computers with 2 power outlets? So you can plug them to 2 different power sources, and when one dies, the computer continues to get its power from the second, without powering off. Or when you want to replace its UPS, you just plug it off from the UPS and plug to the new UPS, without powering down the computer (because it continues to get its power on its second power outlet). Or when you want to move it from one cabinet to another cabinet, you just plug it to a lloonngg cable, then plug off the second cable, then move it to the new cabinet (without plugging it off), and then plug its empty power outlet to a normal cable connected to the new cabinet. So I'm looking for the same solution, but as a power outlet. Or RAV-SHEKA (I have no idea how to say it in English). Something with TWO power sources instead of ONE. So you enjoy all the benefits that I listed, not for one device, but for every device that is connected to this PASS-SHEKAIM (and don't confuse with UPSs that connected to two sources, because they don't allow you to replace UPSs without powering down the devices). I know that it's not as simple as it looks, and that the sources are not synchronized. But it's possible, and even must be simpler than UPS, so I'm sure there are such products. And if it's so difficult, maybe a manual switch can help too (i.e. it is connected to TWO sources, but gets its power only from ONE, based on A-B switch, so when you switch from A to B it is done continuously, without stopping for even a second. Of course, it's not really manual, because something must synchronize the sources during the switching). -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-5237338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [OT]: Multi-Home Power
What you want is called an Automatic Transfer Switch. Look for rack mounted ones- They also come in industrial sized versions for managing power for entire buildings/etc. yonah On 3/1/07, Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My question is off-topic, but I know that some of the subscribers of this list administer server rooms, so it may be a good idea to ask it here.

Scanning program for linux
Hello, I have an HP scanner 3200c ; I had tried using it both on linux and on windows. Currently the results on windows are really much better. For scanning in linux, I had used the Xsane frontend (http://www.xsane.org) for the SANE scanner interface. It could be that there are better scanning programs on linux or that it is something in the configuration of sane. I was wondering: does anybody have an experience with scanning in linux ? Did he get good results ? Can he recommend a different scanning program ? Regards, Dan
Re: Scanning program for linux
Hi, I assumed you used this driver: http://umax1220p.sourceforge.net from my past experience, many scanning drivers for SANE were reversed engineered (specially for the scanners with the parallel port) and many of them had issues (only scanning at 300 DPI, 600DPI results are sometimes look weird, non-responsivness from the scanner, etc...) Today, the situation is quite different. HP as well as Canon and many famous scanner/printer manufacturers do help with the development of scanner drivers (for example, HP helps with the HPLIP), so most of the USB scanners that you can buy these days cheaply, will work happillly on your linux.

Many of the Windows scanning programs process the image to produce good looking pictures. For example, my HP scanner's program has a check box somewhere which optimizes images for the screen. It's labeled something like improve scan quality which it does the exact opposite. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
