Re: [Alug] PCMCIA modems
by Peter Delf 05 Oct '01

I managed to get my LT modem in my Toshiba laptop working by downloading the driver sources from a link on linmodems.org, installing the kernel-headers and running one of the scripts (I think it was called 'make_deb') in the driver distribution. They also include scripts like 'make_rpm' for other distros packaging systems. For more info please email me. Just thought it might give you hope. I'm still quite the fresh faced newbie but my learning curve has been very steep of late. Pete http://www.uea.ac.uk/u9947868

I think even if it's just near Cambridge, we should invite them as a matter of courtesy. I'm cc'ing this to Cam-LUG to see if they're interested in a weekend meeting at Red Lodge in November. Hopefully their list respects reply-to headers and we'll now have a short cross-over. -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services? Why not talk to my employers?

If UEA people can get in touch and get their act together, 28th Oct is still a possibility. I'll put a request out on UEA's internal newsgroups. If we go for Red Lodge, who's going to be publicity czar? -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services? Why not talk to my employers?

Meetings, Cambridge, an afterthought
by John Seago 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

I used to be the Regional Secretary of a voluntary body, and had occasion to organise a group meeting in Cambridge. I had it pointed out to me after the meeting that parking in Cambridge is an extremely difficult exercise. My wife pointed out to me when I failed to grasp this point, that while we could park very near to where we were going, having an `Orange Badge' meant that we were parking for 6 hours,at no cost in an `on road space' where others were having to pay £3.00 an hour.

As there would seem to be some interest in holding a meeting in Cambridge, perhaps whoever it is who organises such things could try organising a joint meeting with Cambridge Lug. John Seago

That is only £2 each if ten people turn up, which isn't a lot. Less than a pint of the beer, anyway. Go for it. Unless you want to guarantee at least ten will be there first to cover costs? Cheveley even better as free, but sounds like it might be more of a hassle for you to organise.

Wouldn't it be rather simpler to use the common filter rules to trap and kill the worst offenders (eg SirCam) than it is to install a large insecure mail filter on your server? Fix the problems where they occur and 99% of virus problems are on the clients. Only when it reaches a DoS problem is server tweaking a good idea. -- MJR I work for this clever Internet developer ==> http://www.luminas.co.uk/

Anti-Virus at SMTP level
by Martyn Drake 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hi folks, Just to inform everyone that I've just installed Amavis along with Sophos Anti-Virus on the main Alug server to ensure that no nasty SirCam viruses (which yes, unfortunately, people are still sending to us) get out and about. I was sick of having to respond to people asking them to either install anti-virus software on their Windoze boxes or to get their definitions updated. Amavis responds automatically to infected senders to ensure they do keep their anti-virus software going. Any messages in or out of these mailing lists will be scanned for any viruses and should anybody does send one, it'll be stopped and nuked along with a message sent to the sender to ensure they keep their virus scanners up to date (or to get one in the first place!). For those that don't know what Amavis is, take a look at http://www.amavis.org - it integrates incredibly well into Sendmail, Exim and Qmail. Regards, Martyn

PCMCIA modems
by Christopher Drane 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

After much surfing, scratching my head, asking many questions, failed installs, newbe stupidity and to much to drink, i have come to the conclusion that my LT winmodem is not going to work with my laptop. This brings me to my question, or 2 Will a PCMCIA modem work (as long as its not a winmodem)? or What about a USB modem, is there a preferance between the two? I would not ask such questions if adverts in the computer mags would tell you if products are linux supported. Just don't want to buy a new modem and find it won't work.
