[OT] Linux/Solaris client for SourceSafe

2000-12-01 Thread Alexander Indenbaum

Hi!

Is there Linux or Solaris client for MS SourceSafe?

P.S. Did you know. To set win2k as VPN/NAT server all you need to do is: 
 choose sharing tab of your dial up connection and say yes. 
 MS rulez as Unix sux :{)

How to slow down noisy CDROM

2000-12-01 Thread Schlomo Schapiro

Hi,

does anybody know how to slow down a noisy CD ? I use it mostly to play
MP3s and the vacuum cleaner noise doesn't fit the music (and the CD would
be still fast enough if it would run at 4x instead of 36x).

Thanks,
Schlomo

PS: Under Windows there is a program to do this, but I didn't find
anything for Linux :-(


Sincerely,

Schlomo Schapiro

Another solution is to cache the music: if your CD player can read at 20x
speed (I don't believe the manufacturer's data to represent anything of
relevance to the truth ;)), then you can read 15 minutes of music in 5
seconds (quick calculation: mp3 is about 10 times smaller than raw CD data,
20x makes you able to read data 200 times faster than it will play later).

So you can write a small script which, every 15 minutes, reads the next
15 minutes of music from the CD onto the hard disk. It will only be 5
seconds of noise every 15 minutes (even if it's 10 seconds, it's not too
bad - if the drive needs to seek (the music is not contiguous) it will take
somewhat longer, but still not too bad). If you want you can do other
varients on this idea: e.g., if you have 100MB free space on your harddrive
you can read 100 minutes of music from the CD (this will take 30-60 seconds,
I think), once every 100 minutes. Given enough disk-space you can even copy
the entire CD (650MB) to the hard-disk and play the music from there.

By the way, there's a commercial mp3 player that takes this approach for
somewhat different purpose: that player has a 10 GB hard disk to store
*tons* of music, random access and rewritable. However because it is a
portable player, the hard disk is problematic if it spins continuously -
it wastes a lot of energy and it can be damaged by too-violent motions.
So what they do is have a memory cache of, say, 4MB that holds 4 minutes
of music. The drive has to be spun up once every 4 minutes, the 4MB of
data is read in a couple of seconds, and the drive is spun down. The
player can (in theory - I don't remember the implentation details) choose
an appropriate time to read from the hard-disk using motion sensors, and
if a read fails it can retry a while later - while still playing what it
has left in the 4-minute buffer.

Re: Q: 4-port Ethernet card for LINUX

  I got a PCI Znyx (www.znyx.com) quad fast Ethernet for Solaris from
Ankor. They have drivers for most Unixes (including Solaris, FreeBSD and
even Mac). I don't remeber what was its price, but it was much less than
Sun's original quad (surprise).

Good. Tell me about it next time when I'll hack your machine, go through
port 139 (which is also shared to outside!), erase your drive and send you a
smily email...

So keep your rulez/sux comments elsewhere... ok?

Connecting to Matav ISP

2000-12-01 Thread Eduardo Tarasiuk

Sorry if this issue already been on this mail list, I do not know where the
archive are stored !.


Now to my problem :

I am trying to connect the Internet through Matav without any success.
Their servers deny the access when
entering the Username and Password from a terminal or from a chat script
(using the expect/send pair).

Of course !,  the Username/Password is OK .

On NT I succeeded to connect without openning a terminal, (writing the
user/pass in the Dial-Up screen previous to the dialing) , but  when I open
a terminal to enter the User/Password interactively, I have the same
problem than with Linux.
I tried to add/delete , newline/CR/null string, after each string (user and
passwd.) without any positive result, and
I have no sniffer to check what is the difference between the two NT
definition modes. The Linux is for far my
main platform of work so I need the solution on it.

I am working with several other ISP's through Linux, so my Modem, PPP/Chat
settings are OK, for sure.

I am wondering if one of you succeeded to work with Matav.

I will thanksfull to receive any good Idea.

  thanks
  Eduardo
