No, it's from the standard kernel tarballs; ought to be in kernel source

Nope, not there under RH7.0 and Suse6.4. All the files are cicra
1998/99. If you want to go beyond the basic/early 20 cards, then you
have to go into bttv.c (Metzlers prog of 1998) and add entries to
tvcards, which is what I had to do when I installed my Askey/Dynalink

[SLUG] HP Superceeded Server Boxes
(Sorry for the commercial content but this would be excellent for a reliable server) There are some Superceeded HP Servers available at APCD. We are interested in arranging a bulk purchase. The machines on offer are HP Servers, dual processor capable, with 64M ECC memory, 24x CDD, various single processor refer http://www.apcd.com.au under HP Specials. I am interested in the P11/350 boxes, as easiest to get second processor. I can buy these wholesale so disregard prices, my brother lives close wants 1 himself, so will negotiate further.

Use a chat(8) script to do the work, and return an error code so the dialout program then quits. if i invoke minicom after disabling portslave, it works and after exiting it so do the echo commands. there is something minicom is doing to reinitialise the modem. anyone know what?
