  You might want to look into PMFax for Linux. As I recall,
  they have (had?) a network version.  The OS/2 version is
  excellent.  I downloaded the Linux version a few days ago.
 
  You can find them @ http://www.kellergroup.com/

 Did you get PMFax lite to work?  I can't change the port.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

David Hinds helped me work out the details for getting the DWL-650
working on my laptop. Here are the details:

  1. Add some information to /etc/pcmcia/conf:

card "D-Link DWL-650"
  manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
  bind "wvlan_cs"

  2. Run 'netconf' and add an adaptor that is otherwise blank, but
  has "wvlan0" filled in as the interface name.


Once I did this, things worked wonderfully and automatically upon
boot up and upon card insertion.


Thanks, David!

 I need a cheap 50pin SCSI controller, is there any reason not to buy a

 thing I am planning on using it for is to connect a single scsi hd (the
 boot drive, only drive if you want to get technical). I think I've read
 that tekram is at least somewhat pro-linux, which is nice.
 
 What does the term Bios-less mean?

 Before you buy.

I use the DC-390U (50-pin Fast SCSI II) in three systems.  It has a BIOS
Extension ROM which allows it to be used as a boot drive, or to access
the drive from DOS with no additional drivers (Firmware in the BIOS
Extension ROM has the code).  I currently have one of them in a K6-2/350
machine with a new drive and get over 20 MB/S transfer rate.  The ROM
also has diagnostics which may help with diagnosis if you can tolerate a
DOS boot.

Try GATOS : http://www.core.binghamton.edu/~insomnia/gatos/
I used it with a ATI allin wonser pro with mandrake 7.0.
It works very fine (better than windows software !!).

That's probably a good idea, since if you are as stupid as you sound, your
being helpful must have been a fluke.  Usenet is a very wasteful mechanism
for the distribution of binaries.  It is also extremely obnoxious to those
who have slow or expensive connections.

If you really want to be helpful, instead of simply being a jerk, post a
URL to where the binary can be found.

I have a Logitech FirstMouse+ (the FirstMouse is the 2+wheel, plus is 3button).
I find the mouse VERY comfortable to use and it only cost ~$20.  It's a PS/2 
mouse, but it comes with an adapter for serial, which I've never had a problem 
getting to work - but I know people who have.

 Has anyone any comments on the Logitech Pilot mouse (3 buttons)?

 Gunnar

I am currently using a Genius Netmouse Pro (serial port version) with Linux
without any problems whatsoever. This mouse has two ordinary buttons, a
"web-browser" wheel-type button, and a fourth button on its side (!). With
a bit of XF86Config manipulation (and the imwheel driver package), you can
map the side button and the web-browser button in such a way as to permit
web-browser scrolling and cutting/pasting in X.

Have you looked at the SIG11 FAQ @ http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11?  You
should take a look and perhaps do a couple of the tests to ensure it's not
a hardware problem.  The fact that the build is breaking in the same place
heavily favours it not being a hardware problem, but it's worth a look
anyway.

Are you able to compile a recent kernel on this same machine without
getting a SIG11?  How about 10 in a row?
