Like others on the list have learned, I can be downlright dense about understanding what is obvious to others. But when I create Hotmail filters, select subject line, select how to process the text to be filtered, enter the text, [LIB] here, and a destination where to send any email with that text in the subject line, any incoming mail with [LIB] in the subject line goes to that directory. But you say you're not getting SPAM with [LIB] in the subject line, of course. I just am not grasping how you're setting up a Hotmail filter for [LIB] on a subject line, and end up filtering any kind of SPAM that naturally doesn't come with this on the subject. You must be sending all list messages to a specified folder, which then of course not contain SPAM. And it'll be SPAM that makes it past the SPAM filter, that ends up in the Inbox. If that's what you're doing, I understand. But unless you have broadband, and can quickly click on the option to view all your folders after you log on, and then click on the Lib list folder, It can be a slow process on a 56k dialup connection when you have a lot of saved files in your Inbox. I found that by setting the SPAM filter to its highest setting, most all SPAM gets sent to Trash these days. >Spammers are not going to selectively word the Subject line of each spam >they send out even if they knew the words you filter on. Yeah... it's just the opposite. They're clever enough to create phoney email addresses that change each time they send out SPAM. >If everyone would simply remember that all spammers are thieves and liars >w/o exception, no one would ever reply to their email to begin with and >they'd all have to get real jobs instead of stealing from the public.

But you say that simply turning off Java accomplished the same thing, right? I've forgotten to disable in the past when reloading OSs.

[LIB] Poll on Linux compatible modems and NICs
Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 07:45:17 + From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Poll on Linux compatible modems and NICs Now that I have Linux running on this L50, my next project is to get a 56k hardware controller modem and NIC that Linux supports. My 56K/Ethernet Xircom CEM56 card is not supported, although there's a fix in an ascii file I haven't figured out how to set up. But could I get some feedback from people who have ISA 56k modems and NICs working on a Linux installation on their L50/70, with their make and models. Then I can look around EBay and see what I can pick up for $10 -$20 for each. Thanks folks. Matt (Shel) Posted via L50 running Linux.

I've had great success running a Bromax (a division of Kingmax) iPort (dongleless) 10/100 16bit PCMCIA NIC in my L50 under Red Hat Linux 6.2 ... they even have Linux drivers for download on their website plus pretty good instructions on how to install them (compared to most Linux docs at least). The drivers aren't RedHat specific (I get the feeling it was written with Slackware in mind as they do make some comments about it in one of the docs). They're actually the reference Realtek drivers for the chip in that card, plus some tweaked config stuff by the Bromax people. Make sure you don't get the cardbus version as your L50 has no cardbus (the cardbus version works well under Linux on an L100 though ...). Make sure you download the latest modules for PCMCIA though otherwise very little tends to work ... also I can't remember if I had to patch the kernel twice (I installed about 3 things at once, and had to patch the kernel twice) ... don't try to patch the kernel twice with the same file or things start going pear shaped. - Raymond >Matt (Shel) >Posted via L50 running Linux.

If the manufacturer lists it as having Linux drivers then at least you know they've gone to the effort. >I'm wondering if it possible to network the L50 running Linux to the L70 >running Windows, and be able to access a CD-ROM drive there. Is that >something that is possible? Yup ... share out the CD-ROM drive on the Windows one then on the Linux one go "mount -t smbfs -o username= /// /mnt/" (I might have the source and destination switched there). Make sure you unmount it when you're done or weird things happen. >>>What are you using for a modem in Linux Raymond? >> >>I'm not ...

I don't use Linux on the libby often enough to justify >>bothering. > >So do you connect your Lib/Linux setup to access broadband via the >NIC? Or do you just access the net via your l100 (L110?) and/or desktop? Well my L50 now belongs to my sister ... my L100 only really access the internet through LAN either at work or at home and is able to do so booted into both Linux and Windows. I don't really have access to a telephone jack anywhere where there isn't already a network port so I've not needed a modem card (and where there is neither I boot into Windows and use my cellphone). - Raymond --- /~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?"| | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
