Subject: [TERM] linecheck.c doesn't work?
Date: 24 Jun 1994 16:00:56 GMT


The linecheck.c that comes with term doesn't work for me.  The results
are totally bogus, see example below.  I already have term working, but
I ran linecheck just to see how it worked and, well, it doesn't.  Where
could I have gone wrong with something this simple?

Thanks.

Example output:

   I am prolly wrong, but are you talking about a sparc 10?
   I run linux on a dx33 (hoping to get a p90 tower :) and it really bogs 
   down in mutil user mmode.  HOw does the pentium keep up with mutil users 
   on at oncce?  The sparc we have a schoool can have 50 users on it, and it 
   is still zippy.

Yes, I am talking about a SparcStation 10 running SunOS 4.1.3.  I really don't
know how Linux would compare as a heavily multi-user machine.  I have a couple
of other light users on mine and I normally don't even notice they are using
it.  In a software development environment, which is what I was especially
referring to, 50 users on a SparcStation would be most absurd.

Get a CD player.

Seriously, for as long I've used computers they've always interfered
with FM.

Date: Thu, 23 Jun 1994 02:43:40 GMT

I just bought an ATI Graphics Wonder video card (1 Mb, Mach-32, ISA), and am
quite impressed with it.  One interesting point I noticed was that there is
an extra row of solder holes for another meg of memory.  Does anyone know if
it's simply a matter of soldering in the extra chips (preferably through
sockets) to get a 2 Mb card?  Will its BIOS and drivers automatically recognize
the extra memory?  All illustrations of the card on the box and in the manual
show an earlier revision with no extra memory space.

I've also noticed a quirk with the card's VESA driver in 640x480x16.7M mode.
Most software seems to expect an RGB ordering of the palette, whereas the
driver is doing BGR, obviously making the colors wrong.  I happened to stumble
on this explanation when tinkering with the setup of the program 'Display'
(highly recommended), which has an option to choose RGB or BGR ordering in
truecolor mode.  The latter mode works fine.  All programs using the VESA
driver exhibit this problem.  I'm wondering if there might be a way to force
RGB instead of the default BGR.  Any thoughts?

I agree 100%!!!  Many times I find that I'd be interested in a reply only to find
that the replies are going E-mail.  I wish there was an easy way to strike a good

You don't need OSF/Motif to install Mosaic, you just need it to run it.  I
tried running xmosaic without Motif installed and it just wouldn't work, but
after I installed the Motif code (and had mwm running - it seems to run nicely
under it) xmosaic functioned properly.  To bad Motif's so pricey -- I guess
I haven't used it as much to make it worthwhile yet.

I agree.  My '66 will do loops around a Sparc 10...an operation that took
45 minutes on a Sparc-10 only took about 2 or 3 on my Pentium!

Subject: eps-0.6.4 printing problems
Date: 22 Jun 1994 20:46:32 GMT

Hi all,
  I'm trying to use eps-0.6.4 and I'm having some strange output.  At the
beginning of each line printed, there is what looks like a 0 or capital O.
Another problem I'm having is that the last pass of the last line doesn't seem
to want to be printed (this might be a problem with my lpr setup though).
  Am I missing something obvious?  My printcap line is naked, but no matter
what I try, it doesn't seem to effect it.  I've even directed eps output to a
file and printed the file and it does the same thing.

Particulars:
 Linux 1.1.13
 Panasonic KX-P1180 9-pin printer
 Distribution eps.config from sample directory

;Nothing says that usenet must be working with RFC822 addressing. Back in the
;old days it was a mixture of DARPA, UUCP and the odd X.29 address. If it _was_
;my host I'd have fixed it.

No, we have talking of violating of RFC1036:

1036       M. Horton, R. Adams, "Standard for interchange of USENET messages",
           12/01/1987. (Pages=19) (Format=.txt) (Obsoletes RFC0850)

Well, perhaps it isn't 'must', because it seems not to be standard status.
(or, it is typo in index.)

But, there is _something_ what says that usenet must work with RFC822 
addressing. As you can see.

Subject: PPP strange netstat connection
Date: 22 Jun 1994 06:08:13 GMT

I just got finished getting PPP up and running and I happened to do a
netstat call and what do I see:
But connections to some place called calzone.oit.unc.edu. FTP & FTP-Data
connections. seems they were terminating. Welll I have never heard of this
place nor have I EVER ftp'd there. Why did they show up? Is there some
hidden hacker connection in the ftpd binary? I went ahead and did a grep on
the source and didn't find any. I also recompiled the ftpd demon just
incase. Anyone know what the deal is?

XFree86 doesn't support more than 256 colors yet. Hopefully its planned for
the future.
