Hello I have seen a device by CorAccess which apparently uses Linux and didn't find anything that would suggest it complies to GPL, though I had access to the complete shipping package. Does anyone know about known cause of violation by this company or should I investigate further? CL< - To unsub

Is it possible to use up the src, dest MAC addresses (12B) and the CRC field (4B?) on a point-to-point full duplex Ethernet link for my own data? I would like to implement an error correction on this, because I'm gonna build a freespace laser link which would run just this way. And i want to use

I noticed peculiarities in the behaviour of the delta-delta-3 system for entropy estimation in the random.c code./ When I hold right alt or control, I get about 8 bits of entropy per repeat fro the /dev/random which is overestimated. I think the real entropy is 0 bits because it is absolutely dete
