Re: [H] BSOD puzzle...
One more thing: It will continue to boot to the KMODE BSOD until I boot into safe mode get the system_licence_violation bsod and then boot to regular windows.

[H] BSOD puzzle...
Hello Hardware, Ok, here's a good one. Win2K Pro SP4A&Hotfixes. This system basically just used to access other drives via hdd swappable cart / rack or sata drive dock via USB. Other then that does nothing. Used to recover files from other drives, virus scan other dives, and hold data. Getting a STOP 0x001E KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED with NO file name to indicate what driver or w/e is the issue. I searches the parameters and find nothing on google (my specific error parameters). I boot into safe mode it BSOD's with a system_licence_violation (really weird) and then boots up fine in regular mode. This has happened twice. I changed out memory. Didn't seem to fix it. Mainboard looks ok from visual examination. Don't think this is hardware because once the system is up, it's stays up for days. It's not an emergency cuz the work around is to boot to regular mode, then safe mode and then it should boot in regular mode but it's weird. Thought I'd run it by you guys... -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key... "...now these points of data make a beautiful line..."

Re: [H] APC Question?
Christopher, I will print/read your share many more times. Your logic is quite different than mine, BUT, I do understand :) About the "owning" my modem. I suspect that I do; I am now paying $4/mo to TPC for the replacement they sent me last June/July. Your plan seems to "protect" the output of the modem. Whereas, I use a ups to protect the input to the modem. I will cogitate this now... :) I have never broken the WAN cable between the modem and my router because I view this interface as pure "LAN" and no longer POTS! I suppose I wish to provide whatever protection I can provide to my modem during the next electrical storm. Electrical storms are why I own all the fancy ups' I own now! Interesting.

One thing you pretty much want to do with a DSL modem is make sure you don't own it in case there is a power surge you can make them repair it. Then go WALL -> DSL Modem -> Ethernet -> Ethernet Line protector (Like a APC UPS Ethernet surge supressor) -> Router. Isolate the DSL modem outside your ethernet network (And make sure your router, switch, etc are all on UPS's for surge protection. I see so many places that have APC 750's protecting all their PC's but then their DSL modem is plugged directly into their switch in the closet, effectively nullifying their protection. Isolate your network as well as your power. Electricity travels over copper, cat5 is copper (I am actually guilty of this at home, I do *not* have a filter between my cable modem and my router, I will be fixing that soon though.)

No you do not want the filter before the modem only on other items, phones, FAX, direct tv box, cable box, etc that plug into the phone line that is the dsl.

I do not run my cat5/6 LAN cables through my ups connections. I've noticed that APC does seem weak, or spotty, with their Phone/ Data line protection features. Had this feature die on two of my older BU1100 units. Now, I have another dead phone interface on a new generation BR1500LCD unit. But I still suspect that I may be fighting with the new rj31/rj45 interface. This is NOT a big issue ATM; it is fixed via the swap. I'll do some more googling. In the end, I really use the ups' for their AC power line protection. And, here in NW Georgia, there is so much more electrical storm activity than I've experienced before. Thanks.

At least from all the past and present research I have done. One of my new RS series BackUps's (Philipines) PHONE filter interfaces is broken. Odd because the RS series premium over the XS series is the PHONE/DATA/? filter. The phone jacks of the PHONE/DATA/? interface both appear to be RJ31/RJ45 size. I suppose this is for commercial/business class PHONE/DATA/? wiring. OK. SUX that I do NOT have same!! LOL! If I try to plug in my normal RJ11 home-type PHONE plugs, I start loosing my phone line/xdsl/internet connections. Hmmm. This is proved because my phone line/xdxl/internet connection is now running thru an RJ11 cable connector (small white plastic block with an RJ11 female connector in each end; wired 1<>1). Not likely I will attempt an RMA with newegg. Shipping costs Other than this small ???, this new ups is full active and works well. really like the LCD display! Besides, I can still swap it with an older RS-1500 (India) whose PHONE/DATA/? interface connectors (logic) DO WORK! Even though my research says this interface is NOT operable! Confused I remain. But, I remain a loyal APC customer. Just sharing recent observations. :) Might there be some RJ11-->RJ31/45 converters? No. I have not looked yet. Never supposed I'd ever have to! LOL! Best, Duncan

The foundation I work for often does small workshops and meetings involving people from around the world. I'm looking into buying a webcam and mic that we can use to have a few people vtc in instead. The setup needs to be portable so we an take it with us to different locations. I'm looking for a webcam that I can mount up on a wall that will get a decent feed of a room with a conference table. And an onmi mic that I can place on the conference table. Both would preferably connect to a laptop via USB. If they worked with common software like Skype and gotomeeting, all the better.

Re: [H] APC Question?
maccrawj, Well, OK. LOL! You caught me really good. I did forget to mention that the special dsl "filter" the modem plugs into (through) is a 2-connector model. One connector is labeled "DSL" and the other connector is labeled "PHONE." I assume that the "DSL" connector by-passes the filter and goes just to the wall (phone line). All the other dsl filters I use have just ONE rj11 female to plug in a single phone line cord. Sorry for the confusion... :) So, the map should be: Modem->APC->"Filter by-pass"->wall jack->TSID->POTS maccrawj wrote: Do I read that right, you have a DSL modem plugged into a DSL line filter??? Modem->APC->Filter->Walljack? Can't be, I must be reading this wrong since those filters block DSL data signals. When I had DSL the only thing I protected was the ethernet patch to my router from the modem has a BlackBox brand inline surge protector. If the modem went who cares, if it entered the LAN big problems was my thinking. Still doing same with cable as it's their modem anyway. On 12/15/2009 11:08 AM, DSinc wrote: Mark, OK.
