became amusing when my & my daughter did the voices! :-D

Hello,
I too am looking for a way to secure FTP. I myself would prefer my users to
use the FTP programs of their choice (this helps to keep everyone happy.)
I found this program/URL, but I don't know much of it, and I haven't set it
up yet.
SSLftp
ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/SSLapps/
Again, I don't know if this will work or not as I have not used it before.

Subject: Where can I get modem driver for linux?
Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 22:13:59 +0800
Hi, everybody
I (Poor Boy) am a new linux user . I have problem in getting
linux modem driver.
Can you tell where to find linux driver .
Besides , how to configure linux so as to allow me to connect to
the internet.
Moreover, I can't listen music in linux as I don't know where to
find my sound card driver and how to configure the sound card.
thanks,
Linuxlover

The order of running these is "ASCII-collating-sequence", as they
are called with a "*" wild-card. So, yes, by manipulating the
numbers after the "K" or "S", you can affect sequence of execution;
(take a look at the "rc" script, which controls all this).
Perhaps the easiest way to manage this is to use ntsysv (text-based) or
tksysv (X-based).
(I get rather nostalgic when I think of the simplicity of the BSD init
scripts, which is why I still have a couple of machines with Slackware
on them.)

Go to www.linuxnewbie.org. Your questions will be answered.
: linux modem driver.
You don't need one. Modems don't have drivers. They connect to the
serial port and accept and transmit characters to/from it.

Depends what your connection is. I use a NIC. You may need a dialup
line to a modem at your ISP. Or an isdn line to your teleco.

I really think you had better find out then ... go to linuxnewbie.org.

Consult Homepages of ASUS and AMD, and look, which soundchips are build
into the AMD 75(0|1) Chipset, u use.

With $20,000 I could set up a home network, (I've already done it with a
peer to peer for less than $1,000), and start my own business building an
maintaining PCs. Then I could work for myself without the certs.

??? Aaargh. Do they really charge $200 for 2MB of memory? It should be
more like $10 or $20! Is this "official" memory? Does it not just take
standard SIMMS?
]The only difference between my windows and linux machine is

It converts fine. I use the ljet3 driver, ( and have also used the
ljet4) and they work fine on a Canon 430 PCL based printer.
If you try to print the tiger.ps page, does it print?
/usr/share/ghostscript/4.03/examples/tiger.ps on my system
So, if it is a PCL printer, choose say the ljet3 driver from ghostscript
in setting up your printer, and choose the postscript output in
Staroffice.

Just a follow up: Kingston Memory (www.kingston.com) lists 4MB upgrade
for the 810e at $23 MSRP. I am almost certain this is standard Simm
memory, which you can pick up from your local computer store
