The information I asked for from verizon when I looked into ISDN is this yes its around $100.00 to install it and a small monthly fee of around $10.00 to use the line, (but its a penny per minute to use the service.) Also the price plan goes up is you want the commercial line! (ie: slighty faster speed) otherwise it really is no faster than a 56kbps modem. So knowing the time I spend online it would cost even more than a cable or DSL modem and not be anywhere as fast. My best advice is forget ISDN and get ether a cable or DSL modem. Their faster and cheeper in the long run. Well my two cents worth. Take it or leave it. Hope I was of any help? Oh and by the way to all my friends at NFLUG this is smiling Ron the used ISDN modem dealer. To all you suckers I mean to all you nice people out there I have an ISDN modem to sale. Like new, Only use to dial out to church on sundays by the little old fellow from Amherst. Its all yours for twenty easy payments of one dollar with no interest charges. Call me at 677-5909 or 1-888-888-8888 and I'll sell you for five easy payments of two cents each for a small book of smart remarks. See ya};-) Ron > TIA > Greg-- > Gregory J.

DevelopOnline provides pre-configured development environments for proven microprocessor-based platforms. DevelopOnline provides development tools, including a cross-compilation toolchain when appropriate. The developer, however, has complete software control over the pre-configured device. All of it is running Linux. What this means is Linux users can access working reference designs, configure Linux, and execute on a test board all within DevelopOnline's secure environment. The deadline to enter DevelopOnline's Software Design Contest is August 17, 2001. The winner will receive national recognition, plus $10,000. Fifteen runners-up receive $1,000 each. What is DevelopOnline looking for? Here's a sample of a few of the entries: * Remote control of computer systems through cell phone/pager * System power management * Remote operation of a home security system through the Internet If any of your members are interested, they can visit our Web site for more information: www.DevelopOnline.com . --------------4B91084F0B6E08FB03144BD9-- From gjn at certainlywood.com Wed Aug 8 11:32:43 2001 From: gjn at certainlywood.com (Gregory J.Neumann) Date: Sun Oct 16 11:51:36 2005 Subject: Thin Client: New User Guide In-Reply-To: <32071718.997255113169.JavaMail.imail@loosy.excite.com> References: <32071718.997255113169.JavaMail.imail@loosy.excite.com> Message-ID: <20010808.15324360@gjn.certainlywood.com> Thanks, Lawrence!

The HOWTO goes into installing fonts in StarOffice actually less confusing than the SO doc.

Not only does it point out where fonts can be retrieved, but also has a short discussion on EULA's and the usability of "proprietery" fonts in an Open Source enviroment. MY SUGGESTION. I read the Font How To and the thing that stuck out clearest was LINUX supports Type 1 Fonts wihtout any hassle and there is a tool to convert TT to Type 1 fonts GUES what I did, YUP converted my TT fonts to Type 1 and they work! After doing all the steps manually you may feel that it is better done by a single tool. Well that tool has been created and is made to work under KDE. IT is called kfontinst and can be found at: http://www.cpdrummond.uklinux.net/kfontinst I wasn't able to get it to compile but if you have success please report your findings. The test I finally did when finished was to create the same document in StarOffice and Word (with many different Font sizes, dimensions etc) and print each document in the other app. I was able to see and print almost all the fonts (still can't print Courier New from MS on a SO box :-( ).

The chipmaker plans to announce compilers that translate Linux programs written in C++ or Fortran languages into commands an Intel Pentium 4 or Itanium chip can understand, the company said in a statement. Compilers are key to making sure programs can take advantage of a chip's new features, such as those that distinguish the Pentium 4 from its predecessors, but the design of the Itanium family relies even more heavily than most chips on the performance of the compiler. The compilers will include several features already incorporated in Intel's compilers for Windows computers, including support for the OpenMP standard for multiprocessor computers, the chipmaker said. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel has been a backer of Linux, a clone of Unix that's grown popular for use in servers--chiefly those based on Intel chips. Releasing compilers helps write programs that show off Intel's chips to their greatest advantage. However, the standard compiler most Linux programmers use is GCC, recently upgraded to version 3.0 . Scientific programmers, the chief users of the Fortran language and people who often write their own software, are often interested in squeezing every bit of performance possible out of a chip. Each Linux compiler is expected to be released in September as a $399 download or $499 CD on sale at Intel's software site . _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ From r.v.maggio at worldnet.att.net Thu Aug 23 10:49:41 2001 From: r.v.maggio at worldnet.att.net (Ronald Maggio) Date: Sun Oct 16 11:51:36 2005 Subject: Can't get connected!

Hi guys.
 
I need your help. I installed Mandrake = 8.0 and gave=20 it the info it needed to get on line, but the following links say I have = to add=20 the following info for a logon script. Please tell me its not so. I = thought=20 Mandrake was a gas-N-go (OS) now I'm stuck!
Worldnet uses CHAP for authentication = and states=20 that the following has to be added to a login script argument in order = to=20 logon.
If someone could look at the links = below and tell=20 me in newbie terms just what do I need to do and where to type it in.=20
I think I know where to type it in but = I want to do=20 it right the first time so it will work!
 
Oh by the way Bob I changed the video = card and=20 cd-rom so it installed. No problem!  I did have to use a serial = mouse=20 though.
 
  1. Add = the following=20 line to the file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets:

    999999999@worldnet.att.net * "password" = *

    where = 9999999999 has been replaced by number = on the=20 "Name" or "LoginName" line of your account information file, and = password is replaced the value on = the "Password"=20 line. The quotation marks around the password are important to protect = any=20 special characters that might appear in the password.

  2. Create, the=20 following script, substituting the proper values for $NAME and $PHONE. I have given my script the = name=20 /usr/sbin/ppp-on.

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    #
    # Script to establish connection from a Linux system to
    # worldnet via PPP.
    #
    $DOMAIN=3D"worldnet.att.net";       =20
    $SEARCH=3D$DOMAIN;
    $NAMESERVER1=3D"204.127.160.1";    =20
    $NAMESERVER2=3D"204.127.129.1";    =20
    $NAMESERVER3=3D"204.127.129.2";    =20
    $NAME=3D"999999999\@worldnet.att.net";
    $PHONE=3D"6213400"; # Cambridge, MA  =20
    $MODEM=3D"/dev/modem";
    
    $resolv =3D '>/etc/resolv.conf';
    
    open(CONF,$resolv)|| die "Cannot open file: $resolv.\n  $! \n";
    
    print CONF "\#resolv.conf - created by ".$ARGV."\n";
    print CONF "domain ".$DOMAIN."\n";
    print CONF "search ".$SEARCH."\n";
    print CONF "nameserver ".$NAMESERVER1."\n";
    print CONF "nameserver ".$NAMESERVER2."\n";
    print CONF "nameserver ".$NAMESERVER3."\n";
    
    $command=3D"/usr/sbin/pppd name \"".$NAME."\"".
        " -d connect \'/usr/sbin/chat -t 45 -v ABORT BUSY \"\" ATDT".
        $PHONE." CONNECT \"\"\' ".$MODEM.
        " 57600 noipdefault modem defaultroute crtscts";
    $ENV{'PATH'} =3D ''; # Make $ENV{'PATH'} untainted
    system($command); 

    Executing this=20 script should then startup up a connection to AT&T WorldNet = Service. Give=20 the script a permission of 4755 (chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/ppp-on) if you = want to=20 be able to startup the internet connection from accounts other than=20 root.

    This = script is a bit=20 fancy in that it writes to the file /etc/resolv.conf the domain name and the = nameserver=20 numbers. This can be handy if you have several similar scripts for = different=20 ISP's, each of which has its own domain name and nameservers. If perl = is not=20 available, or you want a simpler script, edit /etc/resolv.conf to contain

    domain worldnet.att.net
    nameserver 204.127.160.1
    nameserver 204.127.129.1
    nameserver 204.127.129.2 

    and = use the=20 following the following script startup PPP (replacing the login name = and phone=20 number with appropriate values.)

    /usr/sbin/pppd name "999999999@worldnet.att.net" -d =
    connect \
     '/usr/sbin/chat -t 45 -v ABORT BUSY "" ATDT1111111 CONNECT ""' \
     /dev/modem 57600 noipdefault modem defaultroute crtscts=20
    
  3. Optionally, one may=20 optionally add a script to disconnect ppp. The following is an example = of=20 /usr/sbin/ppp-off

    #!/bin/sh
    # ppp-down - simply kills the ppp-daemon
    kill `ps -a | grep pppd | grep -v grep | cut -b 1-6`=20

Hello to all of those who know me... I now work for Auria Networks, the second largest telco operator in Finland. ISDN has been a lot more popular as a home user service over here than in the US. One of my jobs is to monitor and maintain the IAS systems that integrate the 5000+ local ISDN lines coming through the telco switches with the IP network that leads to the Internet. Thus, I have a whole bunch of ISDN lines coming into my office for testing purposes, and I also have a fancy assortment of different ISDN adapter cards at my disposal. In the last month I've had a good chance to test these cards on this Linux box I have here, and I must say most of them work quite as advertised. For most of them, Linux drivers do exist and Mandrake 8.0 even regocnizes and sets them up during installation with no trouble (usually =)). There also is a myriad of ISDN software tools available for Linux. There's no shortage of dialers and configuration tools. ISDN always beats POTS 56K modem line hands down, even when only using one B channel for a 64K connections. And of course you can always use the second B channel simultaneously for a 128K connection. The establishment of the connection is almost instantaneus, since there's none of the negotiateon hassle of analog modems. Because of this, ISDN lines also work nice in dial-on-demand configurations. If you can't get "real" broadband sevice to your house, I think ISDN is a very good option, just as long as you ISP can provide some decent service and reasonable pricing. I can't say Verizon could boast with such merits, though... - Lasse From chaz03 at localnet.com Sat Aug 25 09:17:46 2001 From: chaz03 at localnet.com (Charles Rishel) Date: Sun Oct 16 11:51:36 2005 Subject: Last meeting notes (FONTS) In-Reply-To: References: <20010822120948.83729.qmail@web10005.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <5.0.2.1.0.20010825085923.00a09b10@mail.localnet.com> Hey Pete, I also run coyote Linux.. running it on what used to be my P166, which has been scaled back to a P133. I have 64MB of RAM in it (donated the other un-necessary 64MB to a friend who needed it) and it runs awesome. It is extremely stable, and not hard to configure. After install, I made sure to move my ftp and telnet ports to non-well known ports.. at first I left ftp on 21, but was getting a lot of hits [all refused of course :-) ] and so I figured to keep a low profile, I would move them, haven't been hit since :-)). I am not running a web server yet as I haven't had time to work on a suitable index page, but my web server is available to my internal boxes. At any rate, I have found that it (CoyoteLinux) normally runs on about 10MB of ram, talk about a small footprint!! I would be willing to email you my configs if you would like, I didn't setup anything extravagant, just what I needed at the time. It is extremely nice to be able to have my lan online 24/7 and telnet into my box from work. Gonna look into installing SSH onto my fileserver soon so that I can sleep even BETTER at night, knowing that I am quite well protected. Oh, as a side note, since Adelphia is my cable inet provider, and they prohibit running servers, I find it QUITE convenient to have my open ports off of the well known ports, that way if they scan for web servers and such, I get past their probes, as they only probe the well-known ports :-)). BTW.. anyone interested in embedded linux should check out axis.com they have some AWESOME cards available.. **drool** Hopefully I will be able to make a meeting one of these months, but my work schedule is whacked..working graveyard with Mon & Tues evenings off.. :-(( Will also be working on installing/setting up MySQL on a box to work on a database project at work, anyone with any tips/tricks/hints I would be MORE than happy to talk to ya..

I have some experience with databases as far as Access is concerned and I have setup a couple VPN and Terminal Services clients for use with Databases, I may be able to lend a hand.

I know my ip is pretty much always the same so I hard coded it in.. and "open-port" should be off of the well known ports.. ie above 1024.. you will also have to change the internal net address of the box that you are connecting to.. I have 192.168.x.x above.. you may have done internal ip addressing differently than I did. I know these settings don't offer the best security, but I have not seen any hits in my logfiles since implementing these few rules.. I also suggest that after you get your firewall/router setup you use a linux box and do an nmap or some other form of portscan to see what else you have to close up. On the MySQL database, I installed Mandrake 8.0 yesterday and it even has MySQL as an installation option. Have some more work to do on the box, but I am keeping a diary of the installation/setup that I would be willing to share with anyone in the group that is interested in such things. As far as Access, I don't use it.. as a matter of fact, that is why I failed my DB class in school, I carried an A throughout the semester, but the final project that was worth 50% of the grade was to be done in Access, and I refused to do it.. teacher thought I was irrational, and was probably correct. The good news is that they are now using Oracle for the class project, so when I retake the class there should not be issues LOL.. I don't mind Oracle. Just M$ Chaz?

The information I asked for from verizon when I looked into ISDN is this yes its around $100.00 to install it and a small monthly fee of around $10.00 to use the line, (but its a penny per minute to use the service.) Also the price plan goes up is you want the commercial line! (ie: slighty faster speed) otherwise it really is no faster than a 56kbps modem. So knowing the time I spend online it would cost even more than a cable or DSL modem and not be anywhere as fast. My best advice is forget ISDN and get ether a cable or DSL modem. Their faster and cheeper in the long run. Well my two cents worth. Take it or leave it. Hope I was of any help? Oh and by the way to all my friends at NFLUG this is smiling Ron the used ISDN modem dealer. To all you suckers I mean to all you nice people out there I have an ISDN modem to sale. Like new, Only use to dial out to church on sundays by the little old fellow from Amherst. Its all yours for twenty easy payments of one dollar with no interest charges. Call me at 677-5909 or 1-888-888-8888 and I'll sell you for five easy payments of two cents each for a small book of smart remarks. See ya};-) Ron > TIA > Greg-- > Gregory J.

DevelopOnline provides pre-configured development environments for proven microprocessor-based platforms. DevelopOnline provides development tools, including a cross-compilation toolchain when appropriate. The developer, however, has complete software control over the pre-configured device. All of it is running Linux. What this means is Linux users can access working reference designs, configure Linux, and execute on a test board all within DevelopOnline's secure environment. The deadline to enter DevelopOnline's Software Design Contest is August 17, 2001. The winner will receive national recognition, plus $10,000. Fifteen runners-up receive $1,000 each. What is DevelopOnline looking for? Here's a sample of a few of the entries: * Remote control of computer systems through cell phone/pager * System power management * Remote operation of a home security system through the Internet If any of your members are interested, they can visit our Web site for more information: www.DevelopOnline.com . --------------4B91084F0B6E08FB03144BD9-- From gjn at certainlywood.com Wed Aug 8 11:32:43 2001 From: gjn at certainlywood.com (Gregory J.Neumann) Date: Fri May 25 12:55:15 2007 Subject: Thin Client: New User Guide In-Reply-To: <32071718.997255113169.JavaMail.imail@loosy.excite.com> References: <32071718.997255113169.JavaMail.imail@loosy.excite.com> Message-ID: <20010808.15324360@gjn.certainlywood.com> Thanks, Lawrence!

The chipmaker plans to announce compilers that translate Linux programs written in C++ or Fortran languages into commands an Intel Pentium 4 or Itanium chip can understand, the company said in a statement. Compilers are key to making sure programs can take advantage of a chip's new features, such as those that distinguish the Pentium 4 from its predecessors, but the design of the Itanium family relies even more heavily than most chips on the performance of the compiler. The compilers will include several features already incorporated in Intel's compilers for Windows computers, including support for the OpenMP standard for multiprocessor computers, the chipmaker said. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel has been a backer of Linux, a clone of Unix that's grown popular for use in servers--chiefly those based on Intel chips. Releasing compilers helps write programs that show off Intel's chips to their greatest advantage. However, the standard compiler most Linux programmers use is GCC, recently upgraded to version 3.0 . Scientific programmers, the chief users of the Fortran language and people who often write their own software, are often interested in squeezing every bit of performance possible out of a chip. Each Linux compiler is expected to be released in September as a $399 download or $499 CD on sale at Intel's software site . _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ From r.v.maggio at worldnet.att.net Thu Aug 23 10:49:41 2001 From: r.v.maggio at worldnet.att.net (Ronald Maggio) Date: Fri May 25 12:55:15 2007 Subject: Can't get connected!

Hello to all of those who know me... I now work for Auria Networks, the second largest telco operator in Finland. ISDN has been a lot more popular as a home user service over here than in the US. One of my jobs is to monitor and maintain the IAS systems that integrate the 5000+ local ISDN lines coming through the telco switches with the IP network that leads to the Internet. Thus, I have a whole bunch of ISDN lines coming into my office for testing purposes, and I also have a fancy assortment of different ISDN adapter cards at my disposal. In the last month I've had a good chance to test these cards on this Linux box I have here, and I must say most of them work quite as advertised. For most of them, Linux drivers do exist and Mandrake 8.0 even regocnizes and sets them up during installation with no trouble (usually =)). There also is a myriad of ISDN software tools available for Linux. There's no shortage of dialers and configuration tools. ISDN always beats POTS 56K modem line hands down, even when only using one B channel for a 64K connections. And of course you can always use the second B channel simultaneously for a 128K connection. The establishment of the connection is almost instantaneus, since there's none of the negotiateon hassle of analog modems. Because of this, ISDN lines also work nice in dial-on-demand configurations. If you can't get "real" broadband sevice to your house, I think ISDN is a very good option, just as long as you ISP can provide some decent service and reasonable pricing. I can't say Verizon could boast with such merits, though... - Lasse From chaz03 at localnet.com Sat Aug 25 09:17:46 2001 From: chaz03 at localnet.com (Charles Rishel) Date: Fri May 25 12:55:16 2007 Subject: Last meeting notes (FONTS) In-Reply-To: References: <20010822120948.83729.qmail@web10005.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <5.0.2.1.0.20010825085923.00a09b10@mail.localnet.com> Hey Pete, I also run coyote Linux.. running it on what used to be my P166, which has been scaled back to a P133. I have 64MB of RAM in it (donated the other un-necessary 64MB to a friend who needed it) and it runs awesome. It is extremely stable, and not hard to configure. After install, I made sure to move my ftp and telnet ports to non-well known ports.. at first I left ftp on 21, but was getting a lot of hits [all refused of course :-) ] and so I figured to keep a low profile, I would move them, haven't been hit since :-)). I am not running a web server yet as I haven't had time to work on a suitable index page, but my web server is available to my internal boxes. At any rate, I have found that it (CoyoteLinux) normally runs on about 10MB of ram, talk about a small footprint!! I would be willing to email you my configs if you would like, I didn't setup anything extravagant, just what I needed at the time. It is extremely nice to be able to have my lan online 24/7 and telnet into my box from work. Gonna look into installing SSH onto my fileserver soon so that I can sleep even BETTER at night, knowing that I am quite well protected. Oh, as a side note, since Adelphia is my cable inet provider, and they prohibit running servers, I find it QUITE convenient to have my open ports off of the well known ports, that way if they scan for web servers and such, I get past their probes, as they only probe the well-known ports :-)). BTW.. anyone interested in embedded linux should check out axis.com they have some AWESOME cards available.. **drool** Hopefully I will be able to make a meeting one of these months, but my work schedule is whacked..working graveyard with Mon & Tues evenings off.. :-(( Will also be working on installing/setting up MySQL on a box to work on a database project at work, anyone with any tips/tricks/hints I would be MORE than happy to talk to ya.. Gotta love the versatility of Linux. Chaz?

As far as the configs, here is that information. rc.local.. which can be edited when you go into the network settings, it is #3 and states (rc.local) #!/bin/sh # # Coyote local command init script #I am moving ftp off of port 21 as I am getting hit left and right.. #going to move it up with the telnet window /sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L your-ip open-port -R 192.168.x.x 21 #/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L your-ip open-port -R 192.168.x.x 80 #Added on 6/15 to enable portforwarding of web server /sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L your-ip open-port -R 192.168.x.x 23 #Added on 6/15 to enable port forwarding for telnet << EOF >> that moves your services offered off of the well known ports.. of course I removed my specific information.. in "your-ip" of course you have to enter your specific ip address.. if it is given to you via dhcp you may want to change this to be a network interface.. I know my ip is pretty much always the same so I hard coded it in.. and "open-port" should be off of the well known ports.. ie above 1024.. you will also have to change the internal net address of the box that you are connecting to.. I have 192.168.x.x above.. you may have done internal ip addressing differently than I did. I know these settings don't offer the best security, but I have not seen any hits in my logfiles since implementing these few rules.. I also suggest that after you get your firewall/router setup you use a linux box and do an nmap or some other form of portscan to see what else you have to close up. On the MySQL database, I installed Mandrake 8.0 yesterday and it even has MySQL as an installation option. Have some more work to do on the box, but I am keeping a diary of the installation/setup that I would be willing to share with anyone in the group that is interested in such things. As far as Access, I don't use it.. as a matter of fact, that is why I failed my DB class in school, I carried an A throughout the semester, but the final project that was worth 50% of the grade was to be done in Access, and I refused to do it.. teacher thought I was irrational, and was probably correct. The good news is that they are now using Oracle for the class project, so when I retake the class there should not be issues LOL.. I don't mind Oracle. Just M$ Chaz?
