Free as in beer, you can get a free SIP "number" at sip2sip.info. Once  
you have that, you can get a free incoming number (DID) in Washington  
State USA at IPKall.com.


Once you have the DID working, you can get a Google Voice account, if  
you sign up from a US IP address. In order to sign up, it will call  
you on your US number. With Google voice, you can get an incoming  
number in most states in the US. (I don't know if they do Alaska or  
Hawaii).


Note that none of these provide any real technical support, and IPKall  
provides absolutely NONE.


For Windows and MAC there are several free clients, such as X-Lite and  
Zoiper. If you have your own Asterisk system there is VOIX client. I  
don't of any open source Windows or MAC clients, but you have your  
choice of several for Linux.

[HAIFUX LECTURE] The Anatomy of a PCI/PCI Express Kernel Drive, part II by Eli Billauer

2011-06-11 Thread Eli Billauer
On Monday, June 13th (TOMORROW), at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear 
Eli Billauer talk about


   The Anatomy of a PCI/PCI Express Kernel Driver (Part II)


To the extent possible, this talk will start exactly on time, and spend 
the first 15 minutes on a quick recap of the previous talk. I would 
suggest that whoever didn't attend part I made an effort to be on time 
for the recap.



Abstract

Very few will ever need to write a PCI driver from scratch, and even 
when apparently doing so, the kernel API parts can (and should) be 
copied from similar, existing drivers. Unfortunately, reading the code 
of a PCI/PCIe driver is nearly impossible without understanding the 
twisted game it's playing with its hardware. This talk will attempt to 
outline the interaction between the peripheral and its driver and show 
the established components of the latter.


The talk's first half will be dedicated to understanding PCI hardware 
principles, and the second to kernel coding. The talk is PCI Express 
oriented, but this has almost no significance as far as the kernel 
driver is concerned.


Slides are available at http://haifux.org/lectures/256/haifux-pcie.pdf



We meet in Taub (CS Faculty) building, room 6. For instructions see: 
http://www.haifux.org/where.html


Attendance is free, and you are all invited!



Future Haifux talks include:

27/6/2011 GPIO, SPI, and I2C Control from Userspace, the True Linux Way 
by Baruch Siach

11/7/2011 SSD fundamentals by Amit Berman
25/7/2011 How to Spread Knowledge Throughout the World While Wearing 
Only Your Slippers by Tomer Ashur.



We are always interested in hearing your talks and ideas. If you wish to 
give a talk, hold a discussion, or just plan some event Haifux might be 
interested in, please contact us at webmas...@haifux.org

Fwd: http://plf.zarb.org/mirrors.php Mirror In Israel

2011-06-11 Thread Shlomi Fish
Hi all,

can anyone can also make use of an Israeli PLF mirror? PLF is the
package repository of programs that Mandriva (and some other
distributions) doesn't ship due to legal problems (video codecs,
various games, Peer-to-Peer programs, etc.).

Regards,

Is there any requests for this except from you? We usually ask people
to prove us some kind of public demand.

It's six months, which is a fairly long time.

That was a long time ago. Same thing happened to me, and I complained.  
They offered me a free month of voicemail, which was a nice token, but  
not very interesting to me. I hate voicemail and don't have it on any  
of my phones.


They then started sending out email warnings that you have a month to  
use your credit and may send them out later, I make sure to make a  
call when I get them.
