Sort of correct. 56k protocols require very clean lines. So clean that
it is impossible without one or both ends of the connection being
all-digital. More specifically, any side that tries to transmit with
V.90 (or KFlex or X2) must be digitally attached to the phone network.
Since very few people have digital lines in their home (ISDN users
excepted), it is assumed that only the ISP-side of the connection will
ever acheive 56K speeds. So most (if not all) modem makers didn't even
bother trying to implement the 56K-send part of the protocol in consumer
devices.
The chips in your modem could probably do it, but the software isn't
there and you've got the wrong kind of phone line in your home.

This is a different problem. KFlex and X2 are simply different
protocols. There are plenty of different ways to encode bits for
transmission over a voice network. Different techniques yield different
speeds and capabilities. Three different ones exist for 56K - KFlex, X2
and V.90. They're incompatible with each other only because they use
different kinds of encodings. The hardware requirements (what kind of
phone lines, etc.) are identical for all three. Software changes can
convert a modem from any one of these to any other kind. (Of course,
certain upgrade paths will never exist - 3Com/USR will never ship KFlex
software for their modems - but that's for political reasons, not
technical ones.)
The problem with trying to get 56K without either side using a digital
line is a technical one. No amount of software can fix it. If you need
that kind of speed, you'll have to spring for a digital line of some
kind and either get your own (expensive) ISP-type modems, or lease a
line to some other ISP and have your customers connect over the
internet.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi
I use the following on my system:
- DOS 6.22 / Win3.1 (to support father's questions ... ;-) )
- Win98
- LinuX (SuSE 6.1) Kernel 2.2.5
My harddisk:
Maxtor 13.6 GB ("formatted 12.6 GB") 7200rpm UDMA 66
My Motherboard:
Tyan Titan Turbo (S1572) ATX with intel TX-Chipset
- The BIOS itself does not recognize the disk correctly: it assumes the disk to
be
a size of 8 GB.
- Recommended Settings printed on maxtor-haddisk label:
Cyls: 1655, Sectors: 255, Heads: 63
that calculates to 1655*255*63*512Byte = 12.6 GB (1GB = 1024^3 Bytes)
(manufactors like to calculate: 1 GB = 1000^3 Byte)
Tyan recommends to set the Ddisksize to AUTO. Although BIOS further claimes
that the HD is 8 GB, the system nearly comes along with it:
- DOS 6.22 / Win3.1 could not see beyond 8 GB
- Win98 recognizes the whole disk
- Linux recognizes the whole disk
How to use fdisk if you want to get rid of EZ-Disk informaions in the partition
table?
- boot to linux (or from linux Boot-Disk or Linux-Live CD)
- use linux's fdisk (!)
# fdisk /dev/hda
then type 'm' to see the help menu (possible commands)
type 'd' to delete a partition and '1' to delete partition number 1 (i.e.
/dev/hda1 here)
type 'd' '2' to delete your second partition (i.e. /dev/hda2)
type 'd' '6' to delete your 1st logocal drive (i.e. /dev/hda6)
type 'd' '5' to delete your extended partition (i.e. /dev/hda5)
type 'w' to write the partition table to your disk.
IMPORTANT:
to really clear the contents of the boot-sector and make it available for DOS
you
have to zero-out the boot-sector (FAT-sectors):
clear the master-boot-record:
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/hda
Now start with fdisk again:
# fdisk /dev/hda
create a new partition: (partition 1 as primary partition)
'c' '1' 'p'
and size 1010 MB:
Cyl '1' to '+1010M'
Set the file-type of your partition to VFAT:
't' '6'
and so on...
write the partition table and exit:
'w'
IMPORTANT:
clear the (V)FAT table of the partitions. Otherwise DOS/WinNT/95/98 cannot
format it!!!
clear 1st partion's FAT
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/hda1 <- DON'T forget the '1' at the
end!
Hope that helps.

Personally, I use Blackbox, http://blackbox.alug.org/

The 7040 is a damn fine burner. Also the new 7060 kicks much ass too. Teac and
Yamaha make good drives also. If you're not going to burn games but just data,
the
HP's are OK for that. The newer HP is really a Sony and won't overburn.

Sorry to reply to st's reply rather than Tim's original post, but my ISP

I have had no problems whatsoever overclocking a Slot 1 300a to 450 on an
Abit Bx6-2 nor in overclocking a pair of ppga's in a dual system using an
Epox KP6-BS. I oftern run them flat out, doing math simulations on both

KDE/GNOME are both resource hogs.
I don't know too much about enlightenment.
On my systems, I use "AnotherLevel" (aka fvwm2) as my window manager. I
configure it for the "Lesstif" (mwm clone) look. It works reasonably
well on my 486/40 (with 40M RAM).
If you want to go for the smallest footprint, twm is probably your
choice.
Needless to say, Lesstif and twm don't have all the gee-whiz features
that enlightenment/KDE/GNOME provide. You have to decide if you want
features or speed. I prefer speed.

it dumps its config if you reboot the machine while booting into linux..
if you use loadlin it keeps its settings in its memory thrus enabling
you to use the card.. hmm seems odd that i had to do this since the last

Right now, Athlon doesn't support SMP and there are no chipsets for SMP
support with Athlon. There is supposed to be a higher performance
workstation/server class Athlon at some point in the future which will
support SMP, but it doesn't exist yet. At best you would have to upgrade the
MB, you may also need a different type of processor. then of course you may
need a new case since the one you have now may not have enough cooling for a

Hi all,
I've been charted to design a web site..Like most web sites, it will
have a bunch of web servers fronting some application servers and one
database (Oracle) server. Now I would like to have 3 or 4 e-machines Celeron
systems running Linux as my web servers, feeding into a load balancing
switch such as a Foundry ServerIron or an Alteon AceDirector. On the back
end, I would like to stay with Linux as far as possible -- I will be having
things like chat servers and mail servers, and I cannot see why Linux won't
work here.
The thing that's keeping me up at nights though is Oracle. I'd really
like to run it on Linux, but I don't know how strong Oracle's committment is
to Linux. For that matter, I do not know if Linux can scale to running a
gigantic database server -- we're very small right now but expect to grow
rapidly (obviously ;) I expect the database to be up in the
multi-hundred-gigabyte range in the next few months. This isn't going to be
one of those inactive database servers, folks are going to be inserting,
deleting, and updating records all the time. Its come down to Linux/Intel
because its cost effective (we're tight on $$$) vs Solaris/Sparc because
Sun/Oracle have such a tight relationship. I'm equally familiar w/ Linux and
Solaris BTW. I'd like to stay w/ RedHat 5.2, since its a release behind.
Has anyone else had to make a similar decision? What did you end up
doing? Why? If you chose Linux which vendor's h/w did you go with? I've been
looking @ SGI's 1400L, and it looks pretty tasty, but was wondering what the
Linux db h/w vendor of choice was (if there was one)

2.2.10 will see up to 1gb of RAM (less a small amount for kernel. If you
have a full 1gb you may have to pass a mem=x.) and kernel 2.2.12 has the
ability (without a kernel hack) to see up to 2gb (same "small amount for
kernel" proviso applies).
It may be that Torleiv believes that it only sees 64mb due to using loadlin,
which requires a mem=x if you have greater than 64mb.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all!
I want to get my linux-Box to be connected to LAN. So I bought
a NIC from Macronix.
The Model is "Pro-120(B) PCI FAST Ethernet Adapter" and is
shipped with drivers for Win3.11/95/98/NT3.51/NT4.0, Netware3.x/4.x,
SCO-Unix but nothing for linux is included :-(
My box runs with SuSE LinuX 6.1 (Kernel 2.2.5)
LinuX says when typing:
# cat /proc/pci
--- snipp
Bus 0, device 18, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Macronix MX98715 / MX98725 (rev 32)
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 9.
Master capable. Latency=32 Min Gnt=8. Max Lat=56.
I/O at 0x6500 [0x6501]
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x0805000 [0x0805000]
--- snipp
So I guess I have to look for a driver for a MX987xx chip.
But SuSE does not include one.
Can I use an alternative driver / chip?
I.e. is the MX987xx chip NE2000 or NE2100 compatible?

Carsten
