There is seyon and minicom. Both work well and have been around for years.
There is also the old cu utility. I don't know where you would find them on
the Red Hat distro, but they are supplied with SuSE.

To quote Sharky Extreme:
"All previous Athlons came with 128K of L1 cache and 512K of
external back cache running at half the speed or even less (the
Pluto ratio) of the processor's core. The L2 cache has been halved
from 512K down to 256K, thus "Thunderbird"-based Athlons come
with a total

Or, it would, if you could actually find some working Pentium III 1 GHz

All,
Does anyone know what the difference between the Athlon and the Athlon
"Thunderbird" chips are? I can't seem to find this info on AMD's site. I
believe that the Duron is the Athlon with smaller cache, but what is the
T-Bird?
TIA,

As Chad explained, the cache is the difference. On

Could you maybe tell us what was broken about it, and what you did to fix
