Hi,
 I am new to this list. Just wanted to be a part of the list.

You might want to use --exclude=".*/" in your rsync statement as mentioned by Brian Cluff and if you need to include any specific file, and that is hidden file
then you could add --include=".specialfile"

Thank you
Amit Nepal

Thanks to the always excellent help and advice from my plug friends,
I've been able to use 'rsync' to copy files between my Linux boxes,
and it has been a tremendous help.

However, from studying the man page, I can't figure out what the
syntax should be to exclude hidden files. When I use this:

rsync -avH --progress /home/joe/ j...@192.168.0.73:/home/joe/

It copied all the hidden files and kind of messed up my laptop.

How can I modify that command to exclude hidden files?

You should be able to use this command:

rsync -avH --progress --exclude '.*' /home/joe/ \
        j...@192.168.0.73:/home/joe

Also try adding the -n or --dry-run flag before running your rsync show what it's going to do without actually doing it, so that you can make sure it's going to do what you think it going to do before it actually does it.

Are there any alternatives to Qwest for land-line telephone and DSL service?

Qwest has just raised their rates and I think some of the charges are
unreasonable, particularly for voice mail and the portion of the DSL
service that goes to M$ (which is the most irritating since I don't use M$
for anything).

For the land-line phone service, I pay $37.99/month which includes a
second land-line and voice-mail for one line. But then they charge $6.20
for each of the two lines for "Federal Access Charge" (probably can't do
anything about that).  But for voice mail on the second line, they charge
an additional $7.95/month plus $3.95 for an extension mailbox. That part
seems excessive to me. Surely there must be some other good alternatives.

The broadband charges  show as $38.00 for Qwest Connect Platinum
plus $16.99 for Qwest Connect PLTNM w MSFT, less "bundle savings"
of $5.00/month and a promotional discount of $15.00/month.
So $54.99 - $20.00 = $34.99/month.

Any suggestions?

I don't know of an alternative to Qwest for DSL.

If you have a cell phone, consider dropping the land line phone service entirely. I have Qwest DSL, with no phone service.

If you think you need a phone line for fax, reconsider your faxing needs. Try life without fax. When you need to send a fax, there are services that will likely cost less than your phone line.

If you must have a land line phone, consider using your own answering machine.
