Moving ?

[S. Lawton]

Trying to wade through close to 200 msgs because I haven't been 
online in a couple weeks: I've been busy pissing off the penguin, as 
evidenced by my kernel panic. I don't know whether to be proud or 
terrified that I found something that would make linux not work.

I'm for trying out Joe's offer of meeting place, if that's the 
consensus. Wheatfield, Holland, Gowanda, Olean, we truly are a 
far flung group- closer for some, maybe farther for others. 
One concern I have is space for 5 or more workstations for any 
network type things [gaming, NFS, etc] we may want to do. 

If it works out, I would happily put a plug for them in my sig line, 
since I think it's MY PLACE [not my mail handler or ISP] to decide 
what appears under my name. Sorry, that's one of my pet peeves. 

As far as Software driven modems [PCI, AMR, etc], here's a great 
link. Charts for boards and chipsets, ratings of their performance, 
or lack of, in linux, links to get the drivers - a plethora of useful info 
and links to more.

External Modems  ? More info, please !! 
The last time I heard of or saw an external modem, you turned it on 
and put the reciever of your ROTARY phone into it [dating myself, I 
know]. 
I may not have to deal with this @#$%&* software driven/AC97 
Codec/onboard sound/AMR/Win/LinModem after all. 
Life is good when you're safely behind the times :-) 

EULAs- I usually encounter them 2 or 3 screens into the install 
process, and you forgot the part about the blood sacrifice at 
midnight of a full moon [ or maybe that's for European releases 
because America is the land of (ahem) freedom]. This offer not valid 
on Tuesday; to people 26 yrs of age; or in any state containing the 
letter a or i in its name.
