telnet app to allow connection to Tandem server
Hi - I'm trying to replace Outside View on my Windows box with SOMEthing else. .. I need to be able to log into a Tandem - a very old mainframe, as I understand it - using, obviously, Tandem emulation and using the IXF protocol for downloads. We use a database on the Tandem for our maintenance schedule, among other things. apt-cache searching finds lots of telnet clients but nothing to do with Tandems. Can someone point me in the right direction if such an app exists? Regular old telnet will connect and get the initial prompt from the server, but after that, text is a garbled mess, when I get anything at all. Mostly, it just sits there : TIA -- dave w -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You're certainly right that /dev/floppy still works ... I didn't try that. What I _did_ try was mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom and that still fails. I still have scsi emulation and the like setup so I guess perhaps at least THAT little bit has changed. Perhaps it's using sr or sg or one of the other scsi alphabet soup assignments.

devfs newbie questions about mounting
I've been messing around with devfs in sid, trying to learn my way around, since this may be the way of the future ... and although /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd makes good SENSE and is pretty easy to figure out, it's not so quick to type when mounting by hand. I'm used to more or less ignoring the fstab and mounting the old way, like mount /dev/fd0 /floppy enter. Takes about two seconds, and it's done. Outside of starting to use fstab, is there a better/faster way to mount things using the command line, with devfs?

I'm using animail and spamassassin on my mail now, with -some- success on spam, but need help with animail's ~/.animail/filter file.

All without requiring a PHD in networking? If I get that far, LINUX will be for real, and I will also load it on my old 100 mhz Dell and network that too. Any hope? I would strongly recommend you install Debian by way of Libranet (www.libranet.com). The installer detects hardware quite well, and in general is about as painless as any -good- linux installer. It's not gorgeous and pointy-clickety installer like bankrupt Mandrake, but it works quite well, and about the only thing it doesn't do for me that I'd like it to do is install the NVidia ACCELERATED drivers. It _does_ however install the nv driver just fine. The 2.0 version (one version behind) is a free download from their website.

Re: Can't start X with Nvidia

I might be wrong (sure wouldn't be the first time) but I believe that starting with 4191, the module is called nvidia. Prior to 4191 the module was called NVdriver. I had a heck of a time getting 4191 to work after switching from 3123 because of the module name change. Running 4191 I show: # lsmod Module Size Used byTainted: P nvidia 1466944 10 and I'm pretty sure it used to say NVdriver there. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps I'm confusing the driver and the module. But there was definitely a change with the latest version of the commercial nvidia driver and I definitely went through h*ll getting it to work. Ultimately, at least in my case, the problem was that on my box that ran the newest version, I had in /etc/modules load nvidia and on another box running an older version load NVdriver. -- Dave W [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Another query on NVIDIA under linux 2.4.20
On Wed, 2003-01-01 at 23:46, Larry Hunsicker wrote: We have NVIDIA working now under linux 2.4.20 as I described in an earlier message. But there remains one glitch. When we reboot, the NVIDIA drivers are never loaded, and NVIDIA won't run, until we reinstall the NVIDIA kernel by hand. I suppose that we could force the loading of NVIDIA using modprobe somewhere in one of the inti.d files. But it would have seemed that this should have been done by the NVIDIA kernel install process or kmod. Any comments about this? Only that it sounds really familiar. The same thing happened to me. I downloaded tar.gz files, did make clean / make install / changed XF86Config-4 and made sure nvidia was in /etc/modules, and it STILL requires that I make install the kernel driver each boot. I wish I knew the solution for those of us who are used to doing the NVidia driver the make-install way. dave w -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I wish I knew a fast and easy way to find out, as I run into this problem a lot. Mine is usually /dev/sda1. You say yours is NOT there - stupid question, but you do have media in the reader, right? I have a multi-card reader and it uses /dev/sda through /dev/sdd, and sometimes things are on /dev/sdx1 and sometimes on /dev/sdx2 and so on. If you have a multi-card reader, like mine, perhaps you have not enabled in the SCSI part of the kernel config the part that says something to the effect of probe all LUNs. Without this it'll never see below /dev/sda, so sdb and sdc and so on never get found. There's BOUND to be a way to predict where the media will show up based on scsibus1: 1,0,0 - but I have yet to find a better way than to just do: mount /dev/sda1 /home/whatever enter mount /dev/sdb1 /home/whatever enter mount /dev/sdc1 /home/whatever enter mount /dev/sda2 /home/whatever enter ... until I get a hit.
