Re: AirPort problem
Laurent Is there any adjustment in the card software to adjust the transmit power? On my cisco card's software I can adjust the transmit power from 1mW to 100 mW, which I would assume dramatically effects the signal strength.

Re: AirPort problem
Well, I've got no reaction from the system when I tried it in my Pismo. The PCMCIA card menu did appear in the menu bar but the only option was to power down the card, or something like that. In any case, if anybody is interested, I just confirmed that my internal AirPort card and its internal antenna just works fine. I saw a co-worker a few minutes ago which also brings his Pismo to work. So, I did create a network and he was easily able to connect to it from over 50 feet. Ouf! Now, I have to replace this stupid ABS!

Re: [OT] Problem accessing email behind firewall
Laurent, If you have a Unix account on any box outside your firewall that CAN get to the mail server, and to which to you can make an ssh connection, then you could set up a secure tunnel from your Mac to that box, and read your mail as if it was served on your Mac. Once you have the tunnel running you just configure your mail client to get mail from localhost (127.0.0.1). All traffic running across the tunnel is encrypted which is a bonus. The command to create the secure tunnel for POP mail (done in Terminal) takes the form sudo ssh -L 110:m:110 -L 25:m:25 b -g -v -l u where m is the IP address or domain name of the external mail server b is that outside box that is going to come to your rescue and u is your username on the unix box b [Pretty sure the command will need to be run via sudo because the ports in question are privileged] e.g. sudo ssh -L 110:mail.myisp.com:110 -L 25:mail.myisp.com:25 my.friendly.unix.box.com -g -v -l laurent What that command is saying is to make a tunnel that creates ports 25 and 110 locally, and run a connection out via the box my.friendly.unix.box.com into ports 25 and 110 of the external mail server mail.myisp.com. You can visualize a duplex cable connecting the needed ports on the mail server, via the box b, into your Mac, thus allowing you to send and receive mail using localhost. Leave your mail account and password details the same as they are now, because of course in reality it is the external mail server that is validating them. Just create the ports you normally use - e.g. 25,110 for POP and 25 and either 143 or 993 for IMAP. You can of course forward any port this way - e.g. port 80 to get to blocked web sites. All built into Mac OS X, but if you're not using a Mac inside the firewall, but a Windows box, you can do a similar thing using the freeware tool 'putty'.

Re: keycaps
The bronze keycaps are the same physical design as iBook/TiBook keycaps (though the KBs themselves are different.) Just use a keycap from any of these serie interchangably. Heh heh, well as long as one didn't mind the color differences. G My actual contribution to this (oldish) thread is the suggestion to use a fine-tipped paint marker to carefully redraw the missing letter for an acceptably nice looking result (depending on one's lettering skill.) Perhaps I'm a bit old-fashioned but I think hand-made things (eg: lettering) are interesting and desirable . . . As was previously suggested a further coat of nail polish should prevent the letters from being soon worn away again. hth, Dan K (who intends to eventually swap his TiBook's and Pismo's keys just for fun, once he gets around to it :-) . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: [OT] Problem accessing email behind firewall
Gavin, Thanks very much for this thorough explanation. I appreciate your time. However, I don't think it will work because they're also blocking all outside ports. Port 80 and the port used for ftp are opened, but I doubt they let any outgoing traffic on any other port. We really feel like in a prison here... Any other idea which would work on port 80?

Battery Reset for Pismo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] laments: I've looked and looked all over Apple's Web Site for a and have never found one that'll work on a Pismo. Can you tell me exactly where to find it? Whoa dude, yer outa luck! For reasons that escape us all Apple has seen fit to _NOT_ support the Pismo with this utility even though Pismo owners could benefit from its majorly useful powers. In case yer thinking there may be another Battery Reset that _will_ work with yer Pismo . . . nope, there ain't one. Sorry :-( The only way to use Battery Reset to 'fix' yer Pismo's battery is to stick said battery into a Lombard and run Battery Reset there. Simple really, just go out and buy/beg/borrow a Lombard!! A couple of thoughts: Since the clamshell iBook does support Battery Reset, and since the Lombard/Pismo batteries appear to be functionally identical to iBook's battery (though of course of a completely different formfactor) I would hazard to guess a clamshell iBook could also be used to 'Battery Reset' a Lombard/Pismo battery. I haven't though tried it _yet_ . . . Also, I haven't tried again recently to hack Battery Reset for Pismo (previously unsuccessful), but would give it another go if anyone out there (anyone??!!??) with some classic MacOS coding/hacking/de-compiling/MacsBug experience could give me an occasional pointer as I blunder my way through. I'm _sure_ it can be done and I've got 'Books Lombard and Pismo on hand with which to play . . .

Can it be no lister has popped for one of these 'deals'?? Last year there was a lister who lost $1200 on a 'discounted' new TiBook in a similar deal. The scam is that for the $235 'fee' you're put in touch with someone who purports to be clearing property from a failed business, a cancelled transaction, a bankruptcy deal, or the ever-popular 'Apple employee with a discount'. The explanation is that the seller knows full well that the value of the computer is much higher than what they're asking, it's just that they need the cash as soon as possible, so they'll take the small loss to stave off a larger loss; often some sob story about Eastern European gangsters threatening the seller's family is added for color. (Many of these scams are coming out of Romania) Then you're directed to wire the cash to the seller and the computer will be shipped to you. Riight. The deal with the $235 is that they've suckered people out of that much, even if they get cold feet later. Another con that is being done is people selling powerbooks in this fashion, but the seller even gets the Powerbook. However, the original one was purchased with stolen CC information, and the buyer is on the hook for receiving stolen property. Most often the buyer is determined to be an innocent in the scam, but you lose the powerbook anyway, and the money you spent, too. It's a con.

Glad to hear from someone else who also repaired his ABS. Actually, I had a lot of problems to get enough solder into the board holes to hold the capacitors. I don't know if there is a trick when you do that, or maybe in removing the older capacitors, I did make the holes a little larger, but if there is a trick, I certainly don't know about it. Also, since you seem more knowledgeable than me about this, if you know a sure way to do any measurement after replacing the capacitors that would tell me whether my solder is good or not, I would greatly appreciate. I think that's is the only thing missing from the web site I used to do the repair. Again, I could certainly use your assistance to verify my (maybe poor) work.

Re: Ebay G5 query
I have also been following this thread. since it has now been brought back up, this is how I 'believe' it goes: You pay for a *spot in a pyramid type scheme. You get access to what they call ebooks. You try to get as many people as possible to go to the site and also buy into the pyramid type scheme. That is why there are so many of them on eBay. People have bought into them, then trying to get others to buy into the pyramid also. The reason I know this is, a friend (now roommate) got suckered into one. It was for a Powerbook!! He is a little eccentric, and really wanted a powerbook. Check it out at electronicsmatrix.com I think. http://www.electronicsmatrix.com/content/templates/tracks.asp? articleid=63zoneid=8 If that link works it is for the Powerbook one.

Re: OT: ISPs
I like Earthlink because of . . . . . . As for dropped connections, I think this is a problem with my Wall Street's modem. It doesn't happen with my Amigas using the same phone jack, same account, and an external modem for the Amigas. In my case, the instances of not getting bumped off Earthlink were rare exceptions. I would often get disconnected 2 or 3 times just in the course of trying to pick up a few messages. I don't know why, and their support people were not able to help, but obviously it's not my G4 Titanium's modem because disconnections with NetZone are about as rare as were the uninterrupted connections with Earthlink.
