Before I begin, let me apologize if
this is a double. I didn't realize it, but I sent the first one

sure that it went through.

Hello everyone :)
I have a plain USR Voice/Fax/Data modem, of the 56k variety. I was
wondering if anyon knew if there is some software(prefferably Free, of
course) which will act as an answering machine, using said modem?
Ideally, it'd also be able to handle faxes, but since I have a fax

Casey, thanks for the reply. I've only recently switched to Debian and I don't
recall either RedHat or Mandrake logging all of this info (or more likely, I
never checked for it). Nonetheless, the error I'm looking for didn't show up.
I've recompiled the kernel again. Why ?? ;-) The console has

Well, here is mine.
Back in 1994 I was in college in Niagara Falls, NY. There was a business
development center at this little community college and an ISP being
"incubated". I went in for internet access, and the guy who owned the place
asked me if I wanted free Internet access if I would i

dmesg is just the kernel bootstrap messages and will catch all of that,
once init is spawned, the kernel is done, and you should check syslog for
further messages.

I just upgraded my kernel to 2.4.0 with no apparent problems... I did notice on
bootup some messages that scroll by far too quickly to read that I wanted to
take another look at. I think they just have something to do with my CD-ROM
drives (possibly because there's no discs in them).

Just FYI you can also swap disks with LILO.

Apart from the syntax that was a bit more evoluted than GRUB's it is

Consistancy. Debian has always been predictable. "They" were
concerned about standards before anyone else thought about it.
That said. When I wanted to change something, I had no trouble
finding where to do that.
Other distro's were not that way, way back when. Now, I am not
sure, have never loo
I think the problem is with the $HOME , since the script is run as
root, $HOME is for /root not the user home directory.
