But isn't an OEM of Windows bound to the computer? Selling the
OS separately in private may be a good idea, but doing it publicly
over the net is exposing your butt to the wrath of Microsoft.

Hit it with a 2 pound hammer. You won't have to worry about it ever
waking up again.
But seriously, see:

I haven't messed around with that yet for my laptop. On my main PC I have
all drives set to sleep after 30 minutes, except my primary Linux drive.

The answer is NO. Both packages support dynamic IP for cable & DLS. I'm
currently using LRP Eiger package (uses the 2.2.x kernel & ipchains).
Both also support firewall & mask rules out of the box. FreeSCO has a
web interface but LRP Materhorn & Eiger use 2.2.x kernels, so are abit
bigger, but have more advanced features. In either case, you'll have a
nice router/firewall that will handle atleast 3Mbits/s no problem.

I think I've got bad news for you. The modem has a DSP, but it's also
controllerless, i.e. it's a Lucent LT WinModem. It is not what is
conventionally called a softmodem, though.
To confirm this, check the number on the largest Lucent chip on the modem.
Lucent 1640, 1641, 1643, 1644, 1646, and 1648 are WinModem DSP
Lucent 1647 is a softmodem package
Lucent 1673 is a Lucent Venus full-hardware modem (what you want)
I believe that Hayes has a Venus chipset modem called H08-15002.

Almost certainly this is a DSP Windows modem. Their dis was probably
against HSP Windows modems.
As far as I know, there is no such thing as a PCI "hardware"
(non-Windows-only) modem. They are all ISA or externals.
I'm 99.9% sure that this won't work under Linux.
Manufacturers are extremely evasive about how they present these
modems to the consumer and often the ONLY way you can tell is by
checking the system requirements on the box or in the docs. If it
says Windows is required, you're SOL with Linux unless on the
off-chance it's a Lucent-based modem compatible with the experimental
"LinModem" driver.
Sorry I can't give you better news.

I have not used a PCI modem (just pcmcia), but what does 'lspci' show its
port and IRQ as? If that device does not show up in the boot messages
with proper port, irq and 16550A UART, you probably need to use
'setserial' to tell Linux what to use for that device.

I need to set up several Linux boxes on a network served by MS Exchange.
Currently the Exchange server does not have either pop or imap on. Is there
anyway to send and receive mail with Linux using mapi? Obviously, if I can get
the powers-at-be to turn on imap, I'll be okay, but if I cannot, has anyone any
suggestions? The boxes are behind a NAT-ed firewall on a complete Microsoft

Subject: bash aliases, and an X question
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 01:37:49 GMT
I'm dumb, please don't hold that against me :)
Q1) I have some aliases and exported paths and such in my .bashrc and
.bash_profile. Out of X, it all works. Everytime I go into X, I lose
it all. How can that be?? Bash is bash, right? Any tips?? I did
update my XFree from 3.3* to 4.0... I probably butchered some .x* config
file, but I both fail to see why my bash environment is not carried into
X, and why it's not repeated in X if the former occurs. Same profile
files... any ideas what I'm doing wrong?? Thanks.
Q2) bash aliases... is there a command separator for aliases?? So I
could have an alias do multiple things... like a carrot or something -
pushd^cd /var/log^pico boot.log &^popd
Why can't I do that?? I have done man bash, man alias, etc... can't
find it. Do I have to define each alias individually and then write a
shell script to do it all?
If anyone remembers the old 4DOS command shell for DOS, it used the
carrot as a command separator, and you could make some killer aliases.
Thanks for any help :)

I think it is K Menu -> System -> COAS -> Peripherals -> Printers. Or
something like that, I'm using blackbox instead of KDE right now. You
can also do it via Webmin, start "coastool" from an xterm, or edit some

I do have bootpart installed. The problem is that when I select Linux
from bootpart, I only get to "LI" and that's it. Ideally, this is what
I want to do, then LILO can let me pick which kernel I want to load.
I was making /dev/sda2 the first boot device just to see if I could boot
from it...trying to narrow down the problem.

Wouldn't it be best to simply set the root directory of the working
area and then navigate absolutely? If it's necessary to work
relative to a subdirectory, save context, set the new basis, and
get going. Relative motion down might be desirable, but you have
to go up as well. Why not just build a map and be done?
