Eward,
let me describe how I made my USR56K Sportster external modem x2 (bought
after 1997) working together with hylafax.
First I uploaded installed the hylafax distribution (server and client) out
of Debian (I am using the Debian slink distr.) using dselect and apt,
respectively.
Then, as root, issued the commands
faxsetup
faxaddmodem /dev/cua1
(my modem is connected to the second parallel port).
The latter command will result in a lot of questions, which I used to
answer. But later I figured out that the configuration files
/var/spool/fax/etc/config and /fax/spool/fax/etc/config.cua1 still contain
the default stuff, which will not work for me.
So I changed the settings according to my needs by hand. I use the modem
as a class 1 modem. The windows software does the same. Probably also
critical are the lines
ModemNoFlowCmd: AT&H1 # disable flow control cmdI0
ModemHardFlowCmd: AT&R2 # hardware flow control cmdR2
ModemSoftFlowCmd: AT&I0 # software flow control cmdI0
Here in the default configuration commands about compression are used. I am
not an expert at all, but it seemed wrong to me.(?)
The above lines already contain commands sent by the windows software,
which a found by looking at the corresponding windows software log-file.
To compare everything, I added the files /var/spool/fax/etc/config and
/fax/spool/fax/etc/config.cua1 below.
Further after completing the config-files one has to give the command
faxmodem
This seems to necessary otherwise the configuration becomes not recognized
by the system.
Hope this helps.
Markus

Thanks eveyone for your help. It now works great!
I downloaded the latest Xfree86 3.3.3.1 RPMs.
Installed them all.
Ran Xconfigurator.
Choose Diamond Viper 550. :)
Choose my custom monitor setting. Then Autoprobed(Don't worry, it doesn't
mind being probed time-to-time :P ) the video card & it works great.
Now X starts with default 1024x768 @ 32Bit colour.
Thanks again,

There was a time, back in the late sixties and early to mid seventies,
where Univac 494s were sold to run in real-time transaction processing
shops and uptimes in excess of 99.5% were contractually committed to.
One of the schemes people used in those days was three disk drives,
each mirrorring each other, each on its own power supply - what's the
point of having redundancy if a power supply failure kills all drives
at once ? - one was live, the second was the hot standby, and the
third was what was called the "cold" standby. Moreover, these drives
were multiple-accessed by more than one processor, so one could
virtually walk to a disk unit or to a processor and hit the big red
switch, and the system would still be on-line, and no transaction
would be lost.
Anyone from the old SAS or Lufthansa systems out there to tell us in
detail how it was done ?
Alberto.

I would guess that you should use the EtherExpressPro support which
sorts below "Other ISA cards". However, if you are not sure, try to boot
from the Slackware NFS installation boot disk. That one is able to
autodetect most network cards.

2) Has anyone implemented scrolling mouse wheels or switches for

Hi,
I am using the Diamond Viper 550 16MB AGP under Linux.
Have you updated XFree86 to the latest 3.3.3.1?
I did & its works great now.
Run Xconfigurator.
Choose Viper 550.
When it asks to Autoprobe your video card(Not your chipset timing thing)
choose yes. It will detect it as being able to support 32bpp .. etc. And
use it as default.
Worked for me.

I have a dell with the US robotics sponster Winmodem, which works fine
with Win98 and WinNT on my system. But it fails to support my newly
installed Redhat Linux 5.2, which has no support for Winmodem.
I wonder if buying a new modem is the only way out, or, if I have to buy
a new modem, what kind of modem can be used: anyone that are not
Winmodem?

Visit
http://www.math1.rwth-aachen.de/~heine/ftape/
and make sure that you have the latest version. There you will also find
extensive documentation. If you still have problems, ask on the ftape
list, mentioned in the documentation.
