        Hi Folks;
Solved my problem with

        modprobe sound
        insmod ad1848
        insmod uart401
        insmod cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330

in my '/sbin/init.d/boot.local' file.
        Is there a list of documented arguments that can passed to the cs4232
line.
        Also, in the 'modules.conf' file , the lines to enable 'ALSA' are '#'
out. Would 'ALSA' have worked if I had removed the '#' from the 'ALSA' lines?
        Thanks again for all your help.

Hello all,

I am running perl on Linux and wonder if there are any perl scripts out
there that will allow me to point to a web site.  What i need to do is to
fill in a search form on a web site with the words to search and then cause
that form to be submitted to the website along with some cookies value.

So the perl script I am looking for must be able to send form information as
well as cookies information.  Does anyone know where I can get a copy of
such
programs? or info on how to write one?  Also, I might have to run the
same perl scripts on WinNT :-( 

Appreciate you help, please also CC me a copy to my email if possible

Hemmm... for "changing the monitor size" I suppose you refer to the
screen resolution... anyway, have you tried to read the
XFree86-HOWTO and the Sound-HOWTO at

Am running netscape 4.76 (had the same problem with 4.75).  Sometimes, when
running applets which normally have no problems, netscape sucks all the CPU
time and the only way I can figure out how to deal with it is to kill it
with signal 9.  Anyone know a fix for this?  Anyone tried Netscape 6?
Thanks

People who have to enter a lot of numbers can touch-type the numbers
on the number-pad much more quickly than they can with the top row
numbers. For one thing, they can do it with one hand while the other
hand keeps track of the stuff they are entering (presumably from a
piece of paper or a book or something). I find it very useful at
times.

My keyboard has a separate cursor pad, so for me, I would prefer the
Numbers Lock set on. I examined the settings suggested by a previous
poster (already gone from my server, but by diddling
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/types/basic), but found they are already set
the way he says to set them, and that does not work for me.

As well as typeing:

setup

and I believe the other is

sndconfig

The setup will give you a menu with multiple options, you'll want the X
option...only choose 1 resolution...I've always had problems when I've
wanted to choose more than 1.

And sndconfig is pretty much the same, easy to do, asks if you can hear
things, etc.

It really has next to nothing to do with the OS. You want to have C++
read one character at a time. To do that, you must turn off the
"cooking" that is normally done to files. You may wish to examine
ioctl(2), tty(4), and especially termios(3). It is no fun, but I have
done a lot of things with this.

In the bad old days, I even made a 0.1 second routine that worked like
sleep(3) before there were finer timers in UNIX/Linux.

Well, none of the methods you suggested will work on non-UNIX-like
OSs.

Maybe ncurses is an option.

hello guys,
have any of you worked with hp jetdirect printers being shared through linux
or samba?
is it similar to setting up a remote smb printer attached to a win98 client.
does the jetdirect use netbios names? are the jetdirect printers independant
of the winNT or win98 computer running the jetdirect software?

thank you,
kenny.
