[OT] How to get calling number when CallerID reports "unknown"

2005-01-14 Thread Larry Cook
Okay, this is way off topic. My appologies. I only ask it here because it's about phone systems and the legal system and I figured there are a few of you that might be able to provide a little info. How do I go about getting the calling number from the phone company when my CallerID reports i

On my Debian boxes, cron jobs send me an email if and only if they have any output. Also on RedHat 8 and Solaris. I would guess that is the standard behavior for all distros. You could try putting an "echo Starting job..." in someplace to see if you get something from that. If it's a script,

Thanks for all the responses. It seems like the router is having a 100Mbs problem, since a few of you have also experienced that kind of problem. Although I do have some suggestions to follow up on just to make sure. I guess I'll just move my 10Mbs hub directly in front of the router and put e

Dan, Thanks for your repsonse. In one case it was a bad patch cable. The cable worked at 10Mbps but not 100Mbps. I didn't try to determine why. Just replaced it. I've tried three different cables directly connecting computer #2 and the router. No difference. In some cheap 10/100 switches, the en

Ken, One thing to contemplate -- though if it had been working before, it's not terribly likely to be the problem -- is the fact that autonegotiation is an imperfect science. This router has been working for a year and half with computer #1 (10Mbs) and #2 (100Mbs) connected to it. The 100Mbs sw

Brian, Thanks for your response. Every 10/100 device I've seen in the last 10 years has used 1 chip to handle the 10/100 PHY. This means that it would be (IMO) HIGHLY unlikely that only the 100Mbs portion could/would fail, I would expect all or nothing. One thing I did notice is that when a 100Mbs

Travis, Thanks for your response. It could be a duplex mismatch but I doubt it. I have had this happen to myself personally, where the 100mb part didn't work and the 10mb part did. Okay, so it is a possibility. I assume by router you mean broadband router, not a "real" router. Yes, it is an Action

I'm having a network problem that appears to be that the 10/100Mbs ports on my router are no longer working at 100Mbs, but are working at 10Mbs. Is it possible that just the 100Mbs part could fail? Here's my scenario if anyone is interested. Connected to the router are the following: Computer
