linmodems faq getting written
Hello linmodems users I volunteered to maintain a linmodem FAQ. By now I have written a few words (offline) about h/w modems, pctel lucent and some ham/Intel. Tomorrow I will try to end ham, and conexant, and maybe Motorola. I Need help from linmodems users: Please send me the version of your driver, kernel, when did you installed it, from where do you get it, the modem you are using, and what is the avarege connection speed (should be 56 kbs but in real life in my ham/Intel linmodem I get 49kbs under linux and windows 33.6, yes that is correct!). Please send as well any scripts you made for the driver and the steps you made for installing it. (and if you have more info please send it too). I need help in sm56 motorola's drivers (are they working?), and are there any more chipsets avaiable? The information will be placed in iglu's FAQ as soon as I finish it. - diego -- It seems that more and more mathematicians are using a new, high level language named research student. = 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]

console chars
hello list I once wrote a program for editing 8x8 and 8x16 fonts (in good old dos). I edited some hebrew fonts (hebrew starting at 226), and run some bash script (a part of kdb program in mandrake) which generates psf files, for use with consolechars. On my dos proggy, I see that all hebrew chars start after 226, and when I use them on the linux console, I see that the hebrew chars are not contigiuos. The chars bellow 127 are OK Is there something I should know about hebrew on console? why is the hebrew so messed up? I noticed as well that some chars (127-154) are the same, and not the ones I wrote, and 155 is backspace(?). I have attached a small 8x8 hebrew psf (2K). I hope someone could use it, it shows english and frames ok, so it is more or less usable. - diego -- Information Processing: What you call data processing when people are so disgusted with it they won't let it be discussed in their presence. i8x8heb.fnt.psf.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data

When Linux came along, all Linus had to write was a Kernel (and port a few applications) - everything else was already ready. If I remember correctly, even Gtk (or more accurately, Gimp) started before Linux got popular. I remember using some initial version of Gimp on an SGI Unix (Irix) machine around 1995 (I think - don't shoot me if I'm wrong) - after Linux existed but before it was popular, and it certainly wasn't the reason why GIMP (or anything) was written. one of the most popular was (and is IMHO), is DJGPP, a port of gcc to dos, quake 1 was written with it.

gnome and gdm questions
Hi all I am in the moving to gnome (kde is working too slow thease days). and I have few questions: 1) gdm: when I used kdm I hade a ~/.xsession file for each user which kde used to decide which enviroment to use. now gdm does not use that file (i dont see some programs that are running and I set LC_CTYPE=he_IL in this file.) In the menu there is only a last options (and all other wm instealled on my system). 2) when I ste LC_CTYPE =he_IL, all gnome programs use a really ugly font which I could not change nor identify. it is a font which does not look good scaled. how do I change it? 3) I need also recomendations for a good ppp dialer (something like kppp, which has logging), and a good mail client which at leat can read hebrew. thanks for all - diego -- Lockwood's Long Shot: The chances of getting eaten up by a lion on Main Street aren't one in a million, but once would be enough. = 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]

It's all a matter of putting the right session (and it is really not that difficult). duh... but, I want it to run my own script per user. Anyway, check your distro's settings. In a proper system both gnome and kde should call some standard X init scriptthat does some extra work (/etc/X11/Xsession , IIRC). Have a look there. I believe it calls some user script, like .xinitrc or .Xclients . you did understand. in mandrake 7.2, the order is ~/.xsession, ~/.Xclients. but only if no evniroment was asked. apparently it asks for the last enviroment everytime I log in, (which was gnome or kde depending the user) and it says that the default action is not found (?). how do i convice gdm to look at the home dir of the user that is logging in?
