2001-11-20 Thread Gareth Randall
Hi, Could someone just confirm to me the server or DNS name that is contacted by the mprime client in order to transfer information. I understand this uses the HTTP protocol on port 80. Is this correct? I plan to relocate my mprime to a more powerful system. However, this system won't be

Are you talking about a linux system?! Add a cron job executing: ifup ppp0 (or your distro's equivalent to get up the dail up link) sleep 10 mprime -c sleep 5 ifdown ppp0 Every week for instance (also configure mprime accordingly) Configure mprime to not contact priment automatically. Kind

I think it is better to use the P4 setting (if you can) because you have the advantage of the SSE and the faster FPU 8) Greets, Mohk PS: It should be easy to hack the code to enable the P4 setting, just skip the CPU detection ;) At 01:54 11/21/2001, you wrote: Hi Folks, I looked but hadn't
