Re: Templated text to PS conversion
I haven't looked at the man for 'enscript' in a while, but it converts txt
to ps and I believe
may allow you to insert some ps commands that might do what you need

If you can make it so that you output some some LaTeX prior to your text
output (and
after), you can add all the graphics you want and convert to PS or PDF:
% LaTeX preamble
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
%
\begin{document}
% add your image
\includegraphics{filename}
%
\begin{verbatim}
% insert your text below
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}
Save as filename.tex. Run "latex filename.tex" then "dvips filename.dvi"
to get
filename.ps.
This is one solution anyway.

RE: Domain Hosting/Mail Fwding vendor?
thanx all for the inputs so far I know about zoneedit and found easydns last night... icdsoft looks real interesting as they offer some features that I was looking for like: cgi, passwd dirs (for exchanging family files)... At 12:08 PM 9/27/2003 -0400, you wrote: DO NOT BUY ENOM's POP MAIL SERVICE! Part of the reason for soliciting input is that I was hesitant to go with another of their services if one is already having a problem... I did talk with an Enom support person and they did answer right away (surprise), but was not all that happy with their response. They did not seem the least bit concerned with my being concerned that mail was being dropped. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Domain Hosting/Mail Fwding vendor?
I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a vendor for domain host/email forwarder functions? -- I've been using Enom.com as domain host and mail forwarder for a simple home/personal domain for a while now. Lately, their mail forwarding has become extremely unreliable and mail is getting lost. According to them, this is mostly due to the increase in spam/virus traffic. I will admit the timing of the problems is such that this could be correct It's nice having more than a few addresses to use as I can make simple home and work re-directs and more... I'm considering using their pop-mail service to solve the mail loss issue but I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a vendor for the host/forwarder functions. Or is expecting a fwd'er to work, wishing for the impossible... thanx joe -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Re: DSL firewall/router solutions?
more than a theory. WIth the Linky befsr41, some of the newer firmware is (using a highly technical term here), crap. Some of the 1.43.x releases had problems causing the router to hang often. Fortunately, I had kept some older releases around and was able to flash back to a stable 1.42.x version (.7 is good). As usual, if it's not broken... every brand seems to have some problems and some good points. I and a lot of others have had real good luck with this unit. I've known some dlink, smc, netgear to work and not work too... The other thing that I have found is to keep the AP separate from the router. This has come in handy when the location for the router isn't optimal as I can move the AP to a better location without resorting to boosters. And, when it's time to upgrade to a newer AP or to the VPN router, I can do it without taking everything down... joe > I have the same thing and 2 of my friends do as well - we all had the same > issue... all of a sudden, the thing just started freaking out, I've personally seen both sides of this case. I'm on my second BEFW11S4, having left the first with my parents for them to use. I typically use mine as an AP/switch only, and my parents use theirs as a gateway to TW RoadRunner service. I have had no problems with either one. Two cow-orkers recently purchased this model on my recommendation and have each had problems with theirs. Off the top of my head I can remember DHCP/PPPoE dropouts, port forwarding mixups, and general flakiness. Usable, but frustrating. My best theory on the issue is that this particular model has been "improved" to its current state. My two units were both purchased 1-2 years ago and are the original hardware release. The other two were new in the last 6-9 months, and are probably version 3 or 3.2. It's quite possible that recent versions just aren't as stable as the original and no amount of firmware patching can fix it. But that's just a theory. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
