Problems persist and have gotten nowhere! 1. Connecting ADSL -- edited everything including ppp_on_boot, dsl_provider, pap_secrets, all that stuff. No go. Running "pon ppp_on_boot" gives me a bad tdb and quits. The only tdb reference is from Openoffice so is irrelevant here. (All of the little utilities for adding "connections" assume dialups. Windows has a virtual VPN adapter to handle that--says it's dialing but it ain't.)
I am using an Alcatal speedtouch-home modem connected to a T100 card which is correctly detected and configured. Can ping the modem 10.0.0.138 and the computer 10.200.1.1. I can even get into the modem's own configuration page (use at your own risk as we have said!). 2. Running Java stuff--Open office works. I installed netbeans (a Java programming IDE) but cannot get it to run. 3. The Adobe Acrobat reader looks gosh-awful. Like Windows 2! I have a version 5.08 linux distribution--maybe this will look better? 4. Oldie-but-goody hardware which I really would like to use: sw60xg MIDI sound generator--no IRQ, no DMA, just a port address. This card should be accessable from MPU401 (done this way under W2K). That driver is there but I havent the foggiest on how to get it running and set it up. I would then like to control it through a WINE session (lot's of luck!). USB -- have a roland MIDI device on this, correctly detected but not shown on KINFO. This is of recent vintage and there should be some way of using it. I also need some sort of "hot-plug" support for a development project on which I am working, also in various windows flavors. dman2044 audio interface -- PCI, IRQ11--the linux detects that as an AGOSP Maestro card. There are no linux or even modern windows (W2K, XP) drivers around for this--have to do my production work in Win98. I have an old pro-audio16 clunker, an ISA card but I think Linux will support that one for listening to MP3s or CDs (I havent even tried them yet!). Davicom32 Fax modem -- ISA, detected. Fairly standard and NOT a "win" modem (these have never worked on this computer for whatever reason). Haven't the foggiest how to set up KFax or anything else to use this modem. IRQ5, I believe, sitting on COM3. Suppose I could try talking to it through KPPP. I would like to go over to Linux for everything except music production (since there is no appropriate software yet). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
