The posts appear mail-archive.org. It can be a combination of a different mime encoding and our over-aggressive and over-zealous mail server (Exchange) which removes stuff sometimes too much. I've corresponded with Dan a lot about this in the past many years... and it seems that excess SPAM gets the list server mixed up. It ends up relaying posts to some members, and not to others until he finally goes in and unclogs whatever damage the SPAM has wrought. Matt _ Type your favorite song. Get a customized station.

(Read your message here: http://www.mail-archive.com/libretto@basiclink.com/) I'm using Outlook and the message says 615 bytes large... Dan's server software has been buggy for years and years. He's talked about setting something up more reliable, but I end up having to write him email directly every 2-3 months to let him know that the server is melting down, and not sending posts out to everyone. The problem is always the same, month in month out, year in year out... SPAM clogging up the server, and then the server failing to operate properly. If there's anyone reading the list at this point who might be able to facilitate a move to a more reliable server program... I for one would be eternally grateful. In any case, I have similar problems from time to time with the PCMCIA ports in the docking station where LAN cards don't seem to work either. Inserting them again (on the fly, without reboot) in the internal ones then all the packets that were waiting start to come in. I didn't look in to it any further back then. It didn't matter whether it was W2K or Linux 2.4 (back then) I thought this was just an issue with my 110's EPR. Are there a number of people having problems with PCMCIA cards not functioning properly in their EPRs? The only ones that work reliably in the EPR for me are memory readers.

[LIB] Flaky PCMCIA Ports...
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2007 13:15:56 -0800 From: John Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Flaky PCMCIA Ports... Hello Avi... I am re-sending... any idea what would cause the email to be empty? Hey Guys... I have run into a problem I've not seen or read about that I can remember on my Libretto 110CT. The PCMCIA ports have become very flaky. At first I fooled around with drivers etc. Here is how it started... Occasionally after inserting the LAN card it would get TERRIBLE data rates like a modem... a reboot would usually fix it. Also occasionally it would hang when I ejected a flash memory card or insert one. No big deal on either instance. A few weeks ago it started doing this odd behavior of freezing after inserting a card for up to 30 seconds or so, then it would beep as though the card were just inserted and often continue normally. Barely tolerable. A few days ago it started showing FOUR ports sometimes and showing two LAN cards on boot and then windows would complain about having a non-working card etc. Driver problems? Nope... I put this hard drive in my other Libretto and it works just fine in every way. So it isn't the OS. Does anyone know if the ports act like this when they are wearing out or if this is something in the board or is there any known issues with bios versions that might cause this? Maybe a seating issue of the ports themselves? I DID have the computer apart for an over-clocking a while back, but this downward spiral had started before that. Back then it was just an annoyance, but now PCMCIA port functionality has basically failed. Often I can get by with one card in the machine, but insert another and it flakes every time. Any direction would be appreciated. Thank you, John Martin. <>
