Friends,
We have been encouraging many people to shift to Linux from their stupid
win-boxes.
Staroffice has come as a big help in this effort.
Another package that is required for this shift is one for
sending/receiving faxes to shift from winfax that is being used by many.
Any suggestions/pointer
Ravi,
To help you, I would like to know whether that is a PCI card or an ISA (PnP)
card. If it's an ISA card that you're trying to setup, all you need to do is
this -
1. Disable plug-and-play mode from the card's setup and note the IRQ and IO
BASE ADDRESS.
2. Boot the system and edit the /etc/c

Find out the irq and io port
Folks,
Please bear with me over the next 24 - 48 hours as I play around with the
lists.linux-india.org machine. I am in the process of doing a whole bunch
of things. Some of them include:
* Setting up proper virtual web and mail handling for the domain
lists.linux-india.org
* Moving linux-ind
Something seems to be wrong with the configuration of
lists.linux-india.org. So I am sending this test mail. Please ignore if
this accidentally reaches the mailing list.
