I need to change IRQ and I/O on an ISA 3C509 network card,
using a program that runs in Linux.
I saw one a couple of years ago, but I don't remember where it was.
Can someone point a download site for me?
There are plenty of them running on DOS, but that won't help me.

Hrmmm. Is there a good reason for compiling in /bin (normally
writeable only by root, and usually used for relatively important
programs that come with the distro) instead of, say, a somewhere
in your own directories? Unless your kernel supports Java misc.
binaries (not sure what the option is), you'll need to invoke
the Foo.class files with 'java Foo' anyway, so you wouldn't seem
to gain that much from putting them in /bin/ beyond sharing
them with other users (and the latter can be done in the home
dir as well; 'mkdir ~/public; chmod a+rx ~/public'.
Normally I'd rather use a subdir in my ~, and if it's going to be
used a lot either put the dir in my path (but again, not too
useful w/o Java binary support -- 'java' normally gets searched for
by the shell, not the .class), or symlink it into a private
~/bin.

i dont think so. people are always going to buy

'enterprise' software, and niche markets, and stuff like that.
i doubt commercial software will ever completely go away,

I'm afraid that this is not making very much sense. Why do you not post
the log file ( by the way debug =7 is the highest level under mgetty.
Also put the -x 7 into the /etc/inittab line to start it off in a high
debug level from the start.)
An init line for a sportser voice is
init-chat "" AT&F1 OK ATS0=0 OK ATS38=4S13=1 OK AT#CID=1 OK
(Note that the cid=1 is to report the caller id number).

You can do this from a shell (first one is on my SMP machine, the other
is on my UP machine):
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ grep processor /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
processor : 1
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$
touchl:jdbeyer[~]$ grep processor /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
touchl:jdbeyer[~]$
So, of course your program could do the same thing; i.e., open
/proc/cpuinfo and read it, scanning for the string "processor" and
counting them, or parsing a little more and pick up the digit after the
last one and adding one. You might use regcomp(3) and regexec(3) to do
the parsing. Discussed in the manual page. (Then close the file.)

Wordperfect 8 is native to linux.
Wordperfect Office 2000 is the the compiled using wine libraries.

Subject: Recording using a SoundBlaster Live - can YOU do it?
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 18:57:42 +0000
This is a follow-up to a previous posting of mine.
I am running Debian 2.2, kernel 2.2.17pre6, emu10k1 driver (20000721) with
a SoundBlaster Live 1024.
I could not get a recording, using the line input socket, to produce any
sound when played back.
Someone suggested trying the Microphone socket and that, indeed produces a
recording that does play back albeit at a rather low volume level even
with the Microphone recording level, on the mixer, at maximum.
The same card will produce acceptable recordings using the line input
socket and the Windows software that was supplied with the card. I really
don't want to do it that way!
Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have a solution or an explanation?

I have now tried your suggestion of using the microphone socket and it
does work. However the sound level is quite low - it needs the microphone
recording level at its maximum to produce anything audible.
I find this to be very strange as the same recording setup produces an
acceptable recording under Windows when using the line input socket. It
doesn't seem to make any sense.

In my experience on Linux systems, "tail -f" tracks changes instantly.
Is it possible that the application writing to the file is not

I haven't had any problems, with one caveat... I'm on a modem, and
'classic' programs don't recognize Mac OS X Beta's PPP connections. This
is a temporary situation, though. Other than that, any program that
doesn't try to access hardware directly is fine. For example, while Quake
3 will run, it doesn't have any hardware acceleration. Of course, there's
a Mac OS X Beta version of Quake 3 now, so no big issue. :)
There are lots of places where you can get more info on Mac OS X, like
Apple's site, osxtalk.com, osx.macnn.com, macaddict.com, macintouch.com,

Installing KDE 2.0 on RedHat 7 with KDE 1.x still Installed
Do everything in gnome
Download these files which can all be found at http://www.rpmfind.net
Put all files in a Directory of your choice.
Install these rpms(if you get error of conflicts then choose upgrade
instead)
NOTE IF YOU INSTALLED THE KDE 2 BETA THEN YOU NEED TO REMOVE THOSE RPMS
AND ALL THE QT-BETA RPMS FIRST
libmng-0.9.2-1.i386.rpm
qt-2.2.1-5.i386.rpm
qt-designer-2.2.1-5.i386.rpm
qt-devel-2.2.1-5.i386.rpm
qt-Xt-2.2.1-5.i386.rpm
flex-2.5.4a-13.i386.rpm
htdig-3.2.0-0.b2.i386.rpm
Now create a directory calld /opt/kde2
Now edit file /etc/profile.d/kde.sh and in the 2 spots where you see
"/usr" replace with "/opt/kde2"
Now edit file /etc/profile.d/qt.sh and just change the 0 to 1 where
it says "/usr/lib/qt-2.2.0" and make it "/usr/lib/qt-2.2.1"
Now log out, you dont have to reboot, then log back in to gnome and if you
run a terminal window and type env you will see the new kde and qt paths we
edited.
In order to have both KDEs available you MUST use the src rpms and in a
cerain order
download these rpms to a temporary directory
kdeadmin-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdebase-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdegames-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdegraphics-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdelibs-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdemultimedia-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdenetwork-2.0-1.src.rpm (find rpm from the rawhide site that is
1,876,331 bytes the 1,583,558 byte file wont work)
kdepim-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdesupport-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdetoys-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdeutils-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdoc-2.0-3.src.rpm
koffice-2.0-1.src.rpm
You must Install the rpms in a certain order but not all at once.
TOTAL INSTALLS LISTED BELOW WILL TAKE HOURS SO CHILL.
1. install kdesupport-2.0-1.src.rm
2. open a terminal window and go to
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. type bunzip2 *.tar.bz2
4. type tar xvf filename.tar (you must do each file separate cant use *)
5. type cd kdesupport 2.0
4. type ./configure
5. type make all (takes a long time for most packages)
6. type make install
7. when done use file manager and delete all files and folders in folder
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
Now install next rpm
kdelibs-2.0-1.src.rpm
kdebase-2.0-1.src.rpm
others src.rpm in any order
Now create file named KDE2 in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions and add this to it
#!/bin/bash
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession kde2
make sure above file has execute privilges
Now create file names Xclients.kde2 in /usr/share/apps/switchdesk and add
this
#!/bin/sh
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde2
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.2.1
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib
exec /opt/kde2/bin/startkde
make sure above file has execute privliges
Now edit file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession and just modify the line under kde2)
below
and if kde2) isnt there then add it.
kde|kde1)
exec /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.kde
;;
kde2)
exec /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.kde2 (edit this line)
;;
anotherlevel)
Create a new file named /opt/kde2/bin/kde2 with this (adapted to your KDE-2
installation):
#!/bin/sh
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde2
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.1.1
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib
make sure above file has exe privliges
Add this to ~/.<yourshell>rc (for instance .bashrc, or .zshrc):
alias ckde2='source /opt/kde2/bin/kde2'
This allows one to run a KDE2 app under KDE1, and the other way around.
Example (under kde-1.x):
ckde2
konqueror &
Now edit file /etc/profile.d/kde.sh and in the 2 spots where you see
"/opt/kde2" replace with "/usr"
Now edit file /etc/profile.d/qt.sh and just change the 0 to 1 where
it says "/usr/lib/qt-2.2.1" and make it "/usr/lib/qt-2.2.0"
NOW LOG OUT AND CHOOSE WHICH KDE SESSION YOU WANT. GOOD LUCK
SO FAR KDE 2 LOOKS AWESOME BUT A LITTLE BUGGY.

Peter,
Thanks for looking at this. Here is the error message from the Java
program:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Unexpected reply to
command: RCP
T TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...
Relaying denied
at com.oreilly.servlet.MailMessage.send(MailMessage.java:328)

com.oreilly.servlet.MailMessage.sendRcpt(MailMessage.java:304)
at com.oreilly.servlet.MailMessage.to(MailMessage.java:128)
at SendMail.main(SendMail.java:32)
It is opening a socket to the local machine ( port 25, the SMTP port )
on which sendmail should be listening. Then it sends the MAIL,RCPT ...
headers and checks for an OK respose, etc. I am lead to believe if
sendmail works, this should work as well?
Thanks, Aaron

Well, PERL (Practical Extract and Report Language) was exactly
developed for such a task: you can very easily define 'templates' that
are filled with variables, and the templates themselves are easily
managed too.
