32 bits is able to address a total of 4G _bytes_. The width of the external
bus or internal registers has nothing to do with the addressing size because
you still have to be able to address down to individual bytes.

GTE is a half-baked ISP. They are simply a reseller of other internet

GTE sells access tokens to UUnet dialins for its customers. Since
UUnet's dialins have been such a source of spam, most ISPs have
blacklisted them in the sendmail configuration. If you try to send
email from your linux box, most if it will bounce back. You have to
configure your sendmail to forward everything to GTE's mailservers
which is really ugly unreliable mess of Windows NT machines run by a
3rd party that GTE paid to handle their mail service for them.
It gets even worse. All mail you send *MUST* have [EMAIL PROTECTED] in
the From: address. Your [EMAIL PROTECTED] won't work at all. You
have to resort to using the clumsy Reply-To: header instead. If you
don't want people to have your GTE email address you have to use a
bogus GTE address to get past their email filter which is probably a
violation of the TOS.
If you want to receive email you will have to wait 30 seconds where
hopefully one of the WinNT machines will honor your request to
connect. Then wait another 20 seconds for each email message to crawl
to your inbox because the mailserver is 12+ hops away in from your
dialin. It's useless for listserves. Even the GTE employees don't
trust their own mail service. They use a seperate linux box.
Want usenet? This is the about only service other than the billing
department they actually own. GTE will throttle back drastically if
you download more than 20 articles in succession. Apparently they
want you to read all your news articles online instead of offline,
assuming they haven't been automatically deleted by their spam
filters. There are also many assorted posting filters as well. I was
better off purchasing usenet access from a dedicated usenet provider
GTE internet is good for pulling stuff from the web, since it comes
straight off of the UUnet backbone and not from GTE's internal
network. The UUnet's dialins always worked great, too bad they give
you a UUnet IP where you are blacklisted by everyone. Now that there
is a 100 hour limit, even those who spend all their time surfing the
web get socked by their lousy policies.

We had the same problem, with to controllers=4 channels and RedHat 5.1/2.
Recompiling kernel 2.0.3x didn't work, but Last week we used kernel 2.2.0
and the 4 channels now work perfectly (used in an heavily used cache
server).
So try to get 2.2.0 and compile the AIC7xxxx in it.

Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 13:29:57 -0800
I've been trying to install Redhat 5.2 on a Compaq Deskpro 6200,
but I'm having a lot of problems with the SCSI driver during the
installation. I did some research, and found out that the driver that
is being used (AM53C974) is fairly buggy. It appears that there is
an alternative driver: tmscsim (DC390).
My question is this: How can I use this driver during the install
process. I can find a lot of information about how to get it into the
kernel on an already working machine, but this doesn't help me
with the installation problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

If the card worked fine for months, and spontaneously stopped working

Easier said than done. Most modems can survive such a manuever, so I
tend to wonder what is so different about his setup. Maybe its not the
courier, but the phone line itself. Either way, fixing the problem is
always the best way to go. Treating symptoms is a waste of time.

>> Why don't you try this:

That assumes that the ZIP drive is at
SCSI ID0, which I don't recommend -
I prefer to have my hard drives start at
0, and set the other stuff (tape, CDROM,
ZIP) at higher ID's. So, on my system
it's /dev/sdc4. Note that the default filesystem
on the ZIP disks themselves are usually
MSDOS, so you may have to do:
mount -t msdos /dev/sdc4 /zip
instead. If that works for you, then you should
consider adding an appropriate line to your
/etc/fstab file so that it will either automatically
mount whatever disk is in there at boot time, or
so that you can pop a disk in later and say:
mount /zip
and it will do the right thing quickly and easily.
In any case, if you build your own kernels,
there are no special things you need to do
to incorporate support for a SCSI ZIP disk
(unless it's the only SCSI device you have :-).
The kernel just treats it as another SCSI drive.

Subject: Symptoms of Adaptec 2940UW Rev G w/PPro 200
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 17:08:00 -0800
We've been trying to install a new SCSI card and Hard Drive on a server.
The server is a Pentium Pro 200, with a previously installed 2940 (not
UW). The Hard Drive is a 9 Gig Seagate Barracuda.
When the hardware is installed, and the operating system is booted (
Linux
2.0.35 ), the hard drive is detected. We can then partition the hard
drive. But when we try to create a file system on it, we get SCSI
Timeout
Errors, and the SCSI Bus becomes non-operational.
Replacing the 2940UW with another 2940UW ( exact same revision numbers
),
yeilds the same results.
Moving 2940UW and Hard drive to another PPro system causes the same
results.
Moving the 2940UW to a Pentium (166?) system, and we can create a file
system , and use the hard drive without problems.
So we replaced the 2940UW with an older 2940UW ( Revision B ), and put
it
back into the original server. This time we are able to create a file
system, write to every block, read from every block, all without errors.
AnyOne Got Any Suggestions

I just tried setting S10=100, and it didn't help. According to the
manual, S10 "sets the duration, in tenths of a second, that the Courier
waits after loss of carrier before hanging up." I don't think that's
what I want.

I have had the same problem with the 2.2.0 kernel and my ASUS P5A
motherboard. Aside from this message however, I haven't noticed any
problems running the new kernel. I have recently had trouble installing
Solaris 7 however and I think that this because anytime Solaris tries to
write to the hard drive, it times out because it can't have DMA access to
the hard drive. Have you noticed any other problems?

I just put together a K6-2 400 box with a ASUS Super 7 100Mhz
motherboard (PC100 DRAM too). This this is as fast if not faster then
the Dell PII 400 I use at my office. And I know it doesn't mean
anything really, but BogoMips is over 800 on the AMD where the PII 400
reports just under 400, if you can believe that.
By the way, the AMD/Windoze9X issue is a bug with Windows, not the CPUs.

Subject: How to configure a Diamond V2500??
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 03:13:59 +0100
I'm having trouble with configuring my graphics card. It is listed in the
configurationlist in RedHat 5.2, but there aren't any numbers listed in de
configuration files.
It is using the Alliance ProMotion AT-24, 128-bit 170Mhz DAC.
The only manner I can run Xwindows is configuring my card as "generic VGA",
that result in a low color resolution of 8 bits in 640x480 or
800x600(scrolling). At higher levels I'm getting the "error 111".
When I install KDE, it seems that the system is running in a higher
resolution??
Thanx in advance..
John

Subject: cs4232 - a nasty pop - how to get rid off it?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have cs4236 in my Thinkpad 770. The driver for cs4232 (kernel 2.2.1)
is compiled as a module. All works fine except a pop I hear every time
the module is loaded and also every time I start the playback. You can
see in ad1848.c, in ad1848_open(int dev, int mode){
...
/*
* Mute output until the playback really starts. This decreases clicking
(hope so).
*/
ad_mute(devc);
...
}
However, ad_mute() does not do anything apart from reading some
registers and ad_umute() is just an empty stub. Is there any way to fix
it?
Thanks, Antoni

Got news for you. The total price of the 3 modems that I bought over the
last 13 years (an Supra 2400,14.4 and 56k v.90) hasn't come anywhere near
$300.00...
Want to try again?

Did you buy them the week it is first available on the market? I don't think
so... a X2 Sportster was costing around $250 when it was just released... a
V.34 modem was about the same price range when it was first released, and
V.90 upgrade from X2 would cost $80 or so...
The total would come to about $580... US Dollars... I paid $250 for my USR
Courier...
I guess you'd want to try again... Plus my courier have NEVER puked on any
connection, never had ANY problem whatsoever... and always give fast
connection with excellent stability...
That's one reason SysOps love USR Couriers...
