Maybe IRQ3 is used by another device? If win95 is installed too you can
check via the control panel. in Linux you can use isapnp if it's a
pnp-modem. With a second-hand machine this could be the case. check not only
the ports but cdrom,disk,printer... too. Check also the other settings of
the modem port

This falls in the IIRC catagory, but the same discussion occured some
time back in one of the FreeBSD newsgroups, where a new audio driver
was required to run the Linux version of Real Audio. Apparently
Real Audio uses a hook in the sound driver which wasnt fully functional
to determine how much data had really been emitted by the sound card
so it could synchronize the video motion with the sound track. This
seems to cause Real Audio to draw all the CPU you can give it. The
FreeBSD port of RealAudio 3.0 (no video) with the older drivers took
very little CPU time. Supposidly sound driver updates will address
the issue, so it would not be unlikely that some Linux sound drivers
may have similar issues.

Hi!
I've just bought a ESS Solo 1 PCI soundcard (bundled with a video card;

Where can I find the code to compile the

PILA 8465 as per Intel's web site.
The 100b is different from the 100 I have

It is a pci card with no jumpers and comes up

I had to download an NT driver for it from Intel's site
but I can't find the Linux driver on any of my distros.

Sending ASCII to the printer won't cause paper to be ejected unless
it contains a form-feed character (or the printer thinks the current

Subject: RedHat 5.2 installation boot locks up
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 18:36:55 -0500
I'm attempting to install RH 5.2. I'm not quite sure what's going on,
though I have a theory, so I'll just describe the problem: I boot the
machine off the boot disk I made and hit <enter> to begin the installation
process. The kernel starts loading, and everything looks fine, until it
detects my IDE devices. It (apparently) correctly recognizes IDE 0 (my
harddrive) and IDE 1 (nothing), and then it just locks.
My thoughts: I'm thinking maybe it doesn't like my CDROMs or my SCSI
adapter, but I'm not familiar enough with the bootup process to know what
gets loaded in what order. Any help or suggestions (or solutions) are
greatly appreciated. Below are my system specs:
My system config:
IDE 0 - 1.2 GB HD
IDE 1 - nothing
IDE 2 - 8x Acer CDROM
IDE 3 - 18x Acer CDROM
Primary IDE controller - IRQ 14
Intel 82371AB/EB PCI bus master IDE Controller - IRQ 14
Secondary IDE controller - IRQ 15
Intel 82371AB/EB PCI bus master IDE Controller - IRQ 15
SCSI: JazJet AdvanSys PCI SCSI Host Adapter - IRQ 11
Jaz Drive - 1 GB
USB: INtel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller - IRQ 11
NO DEVICES
ATI Graphics Pro Turbo PCI (mach64 GX)
SoundBlasterAWE64 - IRQ 5

Run your Internet servers (ftp, http, sendmail, etc) on the router and
firewall everything. If you only have the one IP address, also
masquerade the other boxes. Your workstation should be the beefy
machine; use your older computer for the Internet connection.

You could, but I wouldn't keep my data on the server. What if it gets

Well, if you have several Linux boxes, you could keep all your X apps on
one box, and run them over the net. Each box would have to have it's
own server, though, specific to the video card. If only one box +
internet access box, just keep all your X apps on your Workstation.
Just be aware that the machine connected to the net is vulnerable to
attack, and properly firewall your network, and you can pretty much do
what you want. If you are going to use 100M connections, then the
question of performance is moot; not much can move that fast, even SCSI
(well, SCSI cheap enough for us to own, anyhow! ;) ).
Each box needs to have at least enough on it to boot the machine and get
on the network. From there, you can do what you want.
As for accessing your workstation remotely, you can ssh to your server,
and from thence to the workstation. Or you could use IP port forwarding
(ipportfw or ipchains), which forwards requests on a specific port to
the server, to the workstation. Also, I rarely turn any of my machines
off. I turn monitors off, but my machines run constantly. Most people
I know rarely turn their workstations off. At work, I only turn my
machine off on Friday evenings (well, aside from rebooting several times
a day, because it's Windows)

SCSI should be used in any multi-tasking OS. This includes Linux, of
course. No, it's not overkill. IDE has come a long ways, though, but is
still not as good as SCSI. Use SCSI wherever you can, if you can afford
to. For me, my Linux workstation is all scsi, and my server and, umm,
storage machine? are both IDE, as is my NT box. I would be happier,
though, if I could have made them all scsi, but such is life (and my
pocketbook!)
In short, SCSI is much better for your system than not-scsi.

Not true. IDE works best with OS's working in real mode, such as DOS.
Linux, and Unix in general, as well as NT (and maybe Windows, even
though it's not an 'operating system'), would benefit from scsi.
Although, as I said above, IDE has come a long way, and IDE makers
*claim* that it's (almost) as good as SCSI. (HAH!)
I would go as much scsi as you could afford to.

I am interested in this too.
I would like to have my computer handle all my remote controls, because
there are too many things they can't do.
I want the TV/stereo to mute when I answer with speakerphone.
I want a single universal remote to control everything, including MP3s
playing on the computer.
I would like to be able to dial the speakerphone with the remote.
I want the stereo to switch to "Aux" input when I play music on the
computer.
And so on.
So I guess I need hardware to receive the signals from the remote, and
transmitters I can hang on the TV, cable box, stereo, etc.
Has anyone done anything like this?

Actually, Intel processors allow you to access memory bytes individually, so

Did the sound-HOWTO mention a set of Drivers called ALSA (your Sound card is
also supported in OSS - Open Sound System, but that driver's capablilities
are limited and cost money - but hey, it's another option for you, and it's
easier to install than ALSA)?
If not, then follow the link:

I use alsa as the sound driver source for my SB 128 PCI (it uses the same

Does anybody have any experience or tested thinserver kit. It looks good
unlimited NT logins and access to disks from windows or a browser.

I bought most of my rackmount chassis from PCW Microsystems. They
have on-line rackmount catalog at http://web3.pcwnet.com/PrdGuide.htm
at fairly good price.
What I like about PCW is their rackmount chassis quality
and availability. I am a computer network consultant. To me,
vendors' product availability is very important. If rackmount
vendors didn't have rackmount chassis in stock when I needed them,
I had to waste a lot valuable time waiting for the vendors' back
order. I hate back orders. Some vendors I had dealt with in the past
screwed me many times with their back orders.

Hi!
Is there a way to use the sVHS/video in/out functions of
my ASUS AGP-3400TNT/TV card?
Just checked video4linux, but it seems that it just supports 'TV-cards'
and not TV functions on graphics cards.
Any hints, URLs, etc?

Duh, weren't we stupid for buying a Winmodem. You'll find that if you read
the box to your modem that you bought a piece of crap Winmodem.
