The driver for Spea Media FX and other Ensoniq SoundScape based cards is
|

under construction. Some kind of (ALPHA) driver should be available
|
||||
within a month or two. Announcements will be sent to the SOUND channel.

To join send a message to linux-activists-request@niksula.hut.fi. Include

just a line containing "X-Mn-Admin: join SOUND" to the message.

My Sum94 release has it hard coded into /etc/hosts as 192.216.244.52 which

No, no, no... just coil it on the floor.

But you should be careful not to use a long keyboard cable! I have seen

keyboard cables in use on some systems that are incredibly long... You

|

Hi,
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
yesterday I tried to compile one of my FORTRAN programs with the
|
||||
f2c translator using the -g option, but the f77 script which is
|
||||
from the Slackware 2.0 package f2c.tgz complains about a missing
|
||||
libf2c.a .
|
||||
|
||||
The f2c.tgz package contains only a shared library and libf2c.sa.
|
||||
|
||||
I tried to find the sources for this particular f2c version, but
|
||||
I did not find any sources for libf2c.a
|
||||
|

|

Any hints ?

I have dip running on a linux system. I would like to use SLIP over
|
||||
a modem configured for dialback. Here is what I would like to see:
|
||||
|
||||
local - start dip up and make the call
|
||||
remote - ring ring; answers and asks for username, password, and
|
||||
access code; then hangs up
|
||||
local - wait for the call
|
||||
remote - call me back and prompt for username and password
|
||||
local - pick up the phone and give appropriate username and password
|
||||
remote - respond with terminal server prompt
|
||||
local - select slip and away we go !
|
||||
|
||||
Here is what is happening:
|
||||
|
||||
local - start dip up and make the call
|
||||
remote - ring ring; answers and asks for username, password, and
|
||||
access code; then hangs up
|
||||
local - EXIT DIP WITH ERROR
|
||||
remote - call me back
|
||||
|
||||
Does anyone have a sample dip configuration file that will do what I want ?

Once again, a new version has been posted to sunsite which
|
||||
fixes the problem. So problem is moot anyway. (Fixes it for -2 and
|
||||
-3 anyway). In anycase it's pretty silly to run the doubling or
|
||||
tripling modes because this really mauls performance. It's so much
|
||||
easier to use the cntrl-alt-+ hot key to switch it (the X server)to
|
||||
a more appropriate video mode. People have been posting Xconfig info
|
||||
for various low rez modes.

Has anyone got music going? I'm running it on my 1.1.33 kernel
|
||||
on a 486/66 with 16M ram. I've got the 2.9 sound driver and a pro
|
||||
audio spectrum 16. Otherwise everything works great...smooth motion
|
||||
and good effects sound. But no music. I don't know whether it's
|
||||
supposed to work or not.

We also must remember the speed of sound through fat is greatly reduced.

You can't just copy your DOS Doom default.cfg to your Linux
|
||||
.doomrc. There are different options in the Linux .doomrc and
|
||||
the keycodes are completely different.
|
||||
|
||||
At least for ASCII-character keys, you can just put the ASCII
|
||||
code for the character generated by the key as the code for the
|
||||
key in your .doomrc. I haven't figured out how the
|
||||
shift/control/function keycodes work yet.

Everytime I see this come up I wonder what someone is thinking

when they say they want to do this? DOS does not have any means

of restricting access to the filesystem (oh, like /etc/passwd!)

to prevent someone with a DOS program like this from accessing my

Hi all,
|

|

i have a adaptec 1542 CF at adress 0x330. Now i have get a soundcard
|

(spea media fx), which want that adress too. Any attempt to change the
|

adress of aha 1542 to 0x2XX or 0x1XX doesn't work. DOS runs as normal, but
|
||||
linux doesn't boot any more!
|

(Many game under DOS assume that at 0x330 is a Wave-Table-Adr! )
|

|

has someone a solution ??

"Reasonable" is a relative term which everyone must interpret for their
|
||||
situation.
|
||||
|
||||
We purchased WordPerfect (SCO Unix version5.1) from WordPerfect for $99 U.S.
|
||||
dollars earlier this year. This is a single-user license and the price is
|
||||
based upon already owning version 5.1 for other platforms. This appears a
|
||||
most reasonable price.
