Hi,
I would like our users to know if our local or international link to the
internet is up or down.
One solution I'm looking at is our users would dial a tel. no. and they
would be greeted with a voice saying the link is up or down.
Is there a program for this? Perl or C program would do?

Hello,
is there an 8086 assembler available for converting
Windows95/NT frame-grabber device driver to linux? Existing assembler source is
about 12000 lines including several protected ring-0 opcodes. This code is
