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.

 more; anyway, as I recall it was, you should be able to just connect two
 modems from their "LINE" interfaces, and send those above commands to get

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

 Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out.
 
 However, if it only checks levels after recording has already completed, then
 it's probably not really what I'm looking for. I'd like a recorder that shows
 real-time input level such as I get with the Creative Recorder that runs on
 Windoze.

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.

 I will soon get 2 new printers,the ones mentioned in the subjectline.
 I see that Lexmark has Linux drivers for them both,I was wondering if 
 anybody have tried those drivers?Any problems.

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
Max Targets = 16  Number of SCBs = 128
Total Reads = 17204 Total Writes = 3065
BIOS Config: Bus Reset = Y Parity = Y Autoterm = Y Power Mgt =
N

 Hi,
 Does the 3DFX Voodoo3 2000 PCI graphics card work well in RedHat 6.2 - more
 specifically does it work well with the version of XFree86 that is supplied
 with RedHat 6.2?
 TIA,
 Alex.

Running a V3-3000 and a V3-1000G (Gateway pull) on both of my machines

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.

 Hi everybody

Hi !


 Does anyone have a Gravis Ultrasound PnP (with 8MB RAM) working
 under Linux? I tried to follow the GUS-Howto but it didn't seem to work...

Same case here (Gus PnP 8Mb)... I tried Alsa once (ALSA project  
http://www.alsa-project.org )
... but I don't know how to decompress the archive .bz2 ! That driver is still in work.

 I know I should buy a better and newer soundcard, but I like my GUS very much
 and I don't want to throw it away...

Yeah... That card still rock... against low-end pci fm sound-cards !
