Re: [ql-users] Linux on Q40
Hi Fabrizio, it is nice to read that you are enjoying your Q60 :-) are you using the new ShoeString version of our Linux? Email looks quite simple now. As you can see from Alex below, this version runs well on a Q40. Any Q40 owners considering using this version should contact D&D. Any Q60 Linux users that fancy the new version should also contact us.

RE: [ql-users] Re: Was Source code status report
Hi Fabrizio, Can you tell me which version you are using. I released 1.03 then 1.04 and finally 1.05 all very rapidly this month as a result of feed back from Claus Graf. Can you also tell me a bit more about what QCDEZE was doing when the error was reported. A little bit more information will help me fix it. I have it running on my Q60 OK but I may not have envisaged exactly how you need to use it or my system set up for QLiberated programs might be slightly different.

This is excellent news. If you'd like any help with this in the form of sending you packets, malformed packets, pings, co-operative DNS testing etc, please feel free to let me know. > I'll need the SGC Aurora IDE/Ethernet interface > before I can work on pppoe but maybe a more > intelligent ADSL router/hub would be a simpler > solution. (if more expensive) That's Nasta's baby. Nasta, I have these parts for you. Want them? :o) Jon, I realise you're still busy trying to get it working, but I was wondering how the documentation is coming along, and what the calls look like. I'll drop by your site later and have a gander. What is the likelihood of SBASIC integration? The first draft of qeymail will most likely be in SBASIC. After that, who knows. Final item: if anyone else who hasn't yet expressed an interest would like to join in writing an open source email client, please let me know, so we can get together online and make a start sometime soon. Thanks! Dave

Re: [ql-users] Linux on Q40
The soql ppp driver is managing to connect and negotiate for an IP address etc. I still have to debug the actual data transfer which (at least with ping) is only working in one direction at the moment. I'll need the SGC Aurora IDE/Ethernet interface before I can work on pppoe but maybe a more intelligent ADSL router/hub would be a simpler solution.

Re: [ql-users] Linux on Q40
I agree totally with you, I have Linux on both my machine Q60 and Q40, the Q40 is linked to a small ethernet Lan and the Q60 is regulary used to enter Internet via 56k modem. I have now a fast ADSL line and I am triing to connect the Q40 to internet with pppoe through the router. Now waiting Tcp/ip for smsqe. (any news ?) So Yippee also from me.
