Well, how else does he think computers are NORMALLY conected across
phone lines? Mind you, if you want to do this without an exchange in
the way, you will have to add a 5V bias to the line. In series.
But what's the point? Just connect with a crossover cable if you're
that close.

Not quite. You need the bias voltage. Surely this is all covered in the
Serial-HOWTO?

no no, there is some misunderstanding --- gramofile *does* show
realtime display (update every half second or something like that) of
the input levels. Afterwards it gives an *aditional* detailed
statistics.
It's a quite basic textscreen interface, fut absolutely functional.

OptraE312 has postscript built in. Thats perfect, why an aditional
driver? What's that one for? ps to PCL?
And you can run the E312 with some Laserjet PCL drivers (ljet4d[ith]
for example) as well.

All
I'm looking for beta testers for a patched initio.o driver that I
have.
I've added support to the ini9100u/i91uscsi Initio INI9x00/UW device
driver for the /proc file system.
I've also fixed a couple of bugs in the driver - the one that might be
of most consequence is that the driver uses the BIOS settings for the
wrong device for all devices except SCSI ID 0! It uses the setting for
the device with double the SCSI ID of the one you really have...
Output from the proc fs support looks vaguely like this:
trevor@trevor4:~ >cat /proc/scsi/ini9100u/0
Host 0: Base Addr. = 0xE400 IRQ = 14
BIOS Addr. = 0xC8000SCSI ID = 7

Subject: Help recording audio with Sound Blaster Pro
Date: 30 Jun 2000 18:21:38 GMT
Hello. I am running RedHat 5.2 with a SBPro 2 soundcard. I configured
the card using sndconfig. IO=0x220, IRQ=5 DMA=1. The sample sound worked
and I have no trouble playing .au files. I have not been able to record
any sounds though! I use aumix and set the MIC to record and high
volume. I try recording with 'dd bs=8k count=3 < /dev/audio > test.au'
but no sound is captured. I try using yarec-0.65 but this does not work
either. However, it gives me the message '22050Hz not supported by
driver, using 21739' Can anyone help?
Thanks.

xhost can be more versatile and secure than that.
For example, if you're logging on to a machine called... say... rincewind,
and you're on twoflower, you can type
xhost + rincewind
at the xterm prompt on twoflower, and
setenv DISPLAY twoflower:0.0
on rincewind.
Then, any x-apps you start on rincewind will appear on twoflower...
Any other host attempting to connect to the x-server will be denied as
normal...
On a local machine, to enable all users to connect to the xserver, simply
xhost + localhost
and
setenv DISPLAY :0
as the other user should be enough.

So far, there is not a single PCI modem available which would run
under Linux. One has to avoid them as well as modems marked as soft-, HCF-,
and HSP- nonmodems.
You are certainly in your right if the modem was marked as ISA, but
turned out to be PCI (which is not likely).
If it was marked as PCI...
Well, certainly Windows is among the system requirements, as it is on
_most_ modems (including those of ISA modems which are _true_ modems)...
What you can try is to find in the specifications of that particular
modem that it is controllerless or whatever, _without_ the firmware (also,
look up the specifications of the chipset), and then to demonstrate that
this _was not_ mentioned on the box. If you are persistent, this could lead
to a refund. Although almost all PCI modems are software-based, the
manufacturers still have to write the description of what's in the box...
These guys do not bother much to write all this stuff on boxes
with ISA modems, and that's why people end up with winmodems so often.
>Remember, next time you buy an internal modem, specify that it's for Linux and

You would not have much luck with this until the next year, I guess.
a.
PS. parity -> logic parity, ECC-compatible.. But there is also this good
old "no parity".
modem -> software modem, winmodem, host-controlled modem...
Should not there be "no modem" on the box?

Hi!
I need some info on the $Subject SCSI card. I know that the manufacturer

kernel development going on about it. I would also care for some perfomance
info. I plan to swap my aha2940W to an initio9100UW.
I have no idea if it will be worth.
The other question is: Does anyone know of a program that is supposed to be

not been able to find it again.
If you answer send it to me also please, I don't read this list regularly.
