True, but they can only be used by an already attached processes just like open files that are unlinked (although they appear in ipcs(1), a shmget(2) fails with 'identifier removed' error). Actually, this was very interesting remark. Since the API's of the 3 Sys-V IPC mechanisms is so similar I haven't noticed (until now) that shared memory has different sematics (because it has shmdt() <==> close(), while message queues and semaphores don't have an equivalent call). Thanks for the enlightenment... BTW: we both agree that for *mutual exclusion* there are better means than semaphores.

Hebrew support in SendSMS
As Alon Altman pointed out a couple of days ago, to allow sending Hebrew SMSs all that was needed to do in SendSMS is just what I had suggested in the comments. I'm releasing a new version (2.1) of my SendSMS, at the usual place: http://nadav.harel.org.il/software/sendsms It can now send Hebrew SMSs to Orange and Cellcom phones that support it (e.g., All of Orange's Nokias, Cellcom's 5120i and newer, etc. Orange's Startac and Cellcom's original 5120 cannot show Hebrew SMSs). Just put Hebrew (ISO-8859-8 encoding, logical order, to be precise) in the SMS message. I thoroughly checked the Hebrew support on Orange, but I need someone to check it on Cellcom, please, and tell me if it works properly. I did not try to do Pelephone Hebrew support - in fact, I have no idea if the current code can't already just send Hebrew as-is. Note that in some cases (e.g., Orange's Nokia phones) it is also possible to send Latin1 (i.e., accented Latin characters, e.g., as in French) messages: to tell sendsms that this is a Latin1 message, not Hebrew, use the new "-l" option. Sending ASCII messages (i.e., English) works the same as it worked before, on all phones (even if they don't support Hebrew, of course). There are some more interesting changes in this new version (2.1): * Added a command line option "-u", for choosing the urgency of the message. In this version it is only supported for Cellcom, and the options are: "-u 1" (Normal), "-u 2" (Urgent), and "-u 3" (Emergency). This has nothing to do with the speed of message delivery - it only changes the way the message announcement looks. For example, on my Nokia phone, an Emergency message is announced with "New Emergency Message" instead of "New Message" (or something like that - I actually use a French interface, and don't remember what the English interface looks like). * As of April 2001, Cellcom has a fourth area code, 064 (no kidding! I think the way Bezek is recycling area codes that existed for decades is confusing and not fair...). I don't know anybody with a phone on that area code, but the new version _should_ work with it too. As a broken record, I would like to repeat the kind of testing I'm still waiting for from people of this list (note that I don't need you to run SendSMS yourself if you don't want - I can send you a message myself and you'd just need to tell me what you got): very easy to test: 1) Test SendSMS to Pelephone's 056 and 050 area codes 2) Test SendSMS with a Hebrew message to a Cellcom phone that supports it (e.g., Nokia 5120i and newer). requires a little more cooperation: 3) Test SendSMS with a Hebrew message to a Pelephone phone that supports it. I have no idea if that would work, because I didn't add any explicit Hebrew handling to the Pelephone part. 4) Test SendSMS with Mirs (057 area code). There's no code for it yet to test - I'll code it once I know someone is willing to test it.

Re: virtual pc for pc
Hi, 1. Virtual PC will cost $199, not $299. From their web page: http://preview.connectix.com/ The release version of Virtual PC for Windows has an estimated street price of $199 and will begin shipping mid-June 2001. 2. Their Unix/Linux division (and they got quite a big unix division there) is preparing a native Linux version of Virtual PC which will be out "soon". Donno when exactly..

Re: vmware costs 299 $
As far as I worked with VMWare and VPC, VPC is VERY solid and fast, and OS-independent as it emulates the hardware addresses probably the 2.0 version of VPC for PC will be good enough, at any rate much better than VMWare. VPC for macs costed 150 $ and gradually the prices have fallen to the current 70 $ level. PS: I can run PC linux on my mac/VPC. Or 2000, or even solaris. All at the same time. It is easier than to configre the PPC port of linux (PPC Linux, Yellow Dog).

Haifux: GUI And GTK - 7-May-2001
hi, the next Haifux (HAIFa linUX club) meeting will take place on monday, 7-May-2001, at 18:30, at the usual place (TAUB 6 lecture hall in the TAUB computer science faculty building at the Technion, Haifa). This lecture will be the first in 2-3 lectures about GUI programming and GTK. The slides are temporariliy available in a _compressed_ format at: http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/gui-with-gtk.tar.gz example gtk source files are temporarily found at: http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/gui-gtk-examples.tar.gz these slides would suffice for about 1.5 meetings, with the rest to be formed later on. a full table of contents for the 2-3 lectures is attached at the bottom of this letter. i expect to get to geometry managers in this meeting, and talk about specific widgets + Glade on the following meeting (2 weeks afterwards, i guess). Topics follow: - What Is A GUI Program? - GUI Programming Model - Event-Driven Prorgamming - Commonly Used Events Types - The Event Loop - The X Window Model - The X Server - The X Clients - the Window Manager - Xlib And higher-Level Libraries - GTK Basics - Initialization And The Main Loop - Top-Level Windows - Widgets - GTK Signals - GTK Geomerty Managers - What Is A Geometry Manager? - Horizontal And Vertical Box - Packer - GTK Widgets - Labels - Buttons - Text Entries - Frames - Menu Bars And Menus - GTK CList (Tables) - Glade - A GUI Builder - Glade Projects - Creating Top-Level Windows - Packing Widgets Into Glade - Source Generation - Adding Your Code - Re-opening A Glade Project - Cavits - UI Design - Thinking about the end-user - Keeping A Sensible Flow - To grey-out or not - that is the question. - "Featuritys" - Network Integration - The select() behind the main loop - Adding input and output sources - Dos and Don'ts when accessing sockets in a GUI - Multy-Threaded GUIs - Rational - The GUI thread - Command Queues == see you there, -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

`doesn't recognize the user name and password' =>
the contents of the equivalent of /etc/chatscripts/provider is wrong?
I would try to do everything as root, try with minicom, enable debugging, post
debug info that might be taken from /var/log/{messages,syslog} and
/var/log/ppp* to the list.

If you haven't read about it: connectix which has quite an expertise in emulations, and has produced the longest living PC emulator for macs (maybe not the best anyway...), is releasing in a couple of days VPC for PCs - it enables you to duplicate hardware addresses such as BIOS in a virtual environment allowing you to run linux and/or windows 2000/3.11/DOS (who cares ?) each in its own VEnv on top of ME or 2000. Although the price on macs is 70 $ for a PC DOS version, VPC for PCs will cost... 299 $.
