ISA Modem
by Daniel Smith 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

Hello All I've decided it's about time to use Linux to connect to the net rather than Windoze, but as always there's a problem. Instead of a nice pukka proper modem I've got a PCI winmodem which I understand won't work with Linux. I can't afford a new branded modem at the moment (I thought about a US Robotics 56k external) but I know where I pick up an internal ISA one very cheaply. Has I understand it I should be able to use this with 'generic' settings. Can anybody throw anymore light on this for me please, or at least point me in the right direction ;¬) Thanks. -- Daniel Smith [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

CNN on MS poll
by jg＠cyberstorm.demon.co.uk 06 Nov '99

Well, I'd love to see a breakdown of who's clicking those buttons, but CNN is reporting a massive proportion of people in favour of Judge Jackson's Finding of Fact in the MSvDoJ case. Quite whether the only people who can be bothered to vote on this one are in fact Open Source advocates is unclear. -- James Green jg(a)cyberstorm.demon.co.uk Site Manager jg(a)linuxnewbie.com LinuxNewbie.com LNC http://www.cyberstorm.demon.co.uk/ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Time changes
by Martyn Drake 05 Nov '99

I was walking through Ilford's shopping mall (or should I say, maul) the other day, and noticed on all the monitors throughout the complex had Windows with the "Windows have detected GMT change. Press OK to continue" box slap bang right in the middle, preventing whatever should be running from doing it's stuff. D'oh!

Linux Answers #1 out
by Green, James M K 05 Nov '99

Hi all, Look what I got less than an hour ago - the Premier edition of the UK's first Linux Magazine: Linux Answers. It's predictably a little thin, but since there aren't a huge number of ads in it, we'll let that pass. What's rather good about this is that is appears to be breaking a mould in the publishing industry - it *appears* to be fairly well technically proficient, even on the second page giving the reason why they say "Linux" not "GNU/Linux" throughout the mag. Loads of tutorials (mmm :), RH6.0 and Corel WordPerfect 8 on the cover, plus RealPlayer G2 and WINE bundled too. Priced 4.99, from Future Publishing. I'll be giving a fuller review on LNC soon.

Sblive driver now GPL at last!
by John Woodard 02 Nov '99

02 Nov '99

I see on Slashdot that Creative Labs have finally had the wisdom to slap a GPL on their crappy Sblive! drivers announcing that they "would like to take this opportunity to ask the Linux community to help make the opensource driver better". Nice to see that pressure from the Linux community campaigning for this has finally paid off. Maybe kernel integration is now a realistic expectation in the not too distant future, one can only hope.
