It's going outside the USA for a private dial-up network for a utility company. No DSL, T1, PRI's or such available.... "Pots" lines.. Plain Old Telephone Service. They'll be using Linux systems with modems doing standard PPP dial-up.. and I know I could use an 8 Port rocketmodem on a Linux box, but honestly I'd rather use something purpose built that supports radius and such.. Like a Livingston Portmaster used to.. Anyone had any experience in this area with some currently available new equipment?

It's a self reliant event, & I've worked hard to ensure it is easy for you to succeed in making & having a successful event/ experience(s).

Looking at the AIWHD3650PM card....http://www.diamondmm.com/AIWHD3650PM.php Scott Castaline 2008-08-28T20:22:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.ale/60919 I've had a strange issue with my Apache instance on my Debian box since I updated it earlier this week. I'm using Debian's stock configuration for enabling name virtual hosts (even though I currently only have one site active). In my ports.conf file I have this: Listen 80 NameVirtualHost *:80 <IfModule mod_ssl.c> # SSL name based virtual hosts are not yet supported, therefore no # NameVirtualHost statement here Listen 443 </IfModule> Then I have virtual host stanzas in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default like this: <VirtualHost *:80> [. . .] </VirtualHost> It seems like until earlier this week, that "Listen 80" line was unnecessary, but when my default site no longer loaded, I added it in, and now everything's fine. I've tried to read the Apache documentation for virtual hosts, and that "NameVirtualHost *:80" clause looks like it's all I should theoretically need for requests on port 80. When I comment the Listen 80 out and reload the configuration, it doesn't listen anymore. Anyboday have any ideas about what's going on? Thanks.

When I do locale -a all I get is a long a$$ list of all possible languages. I thought that I had it set to en_UTF-8. Scott Castaline 2008-08-28T00:58:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.ale/60905 Out of stupidity I just googled "youtube". The first hit included a youtube search box. First time I've seen that. Is there a way I can get that for my website? Or is that something custom Google did for Youtube?

I think a steep learning curve is OK in this case, as long as there are good books/tutorials available for it. Thanks, Daniel Daniel Howard 2008-08-27T18:54:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.ale/60891 Ok. I know I've heard this before but for the life of me I can't find it. I'm looking for a podcast client that handles video podcast's Ideally it would sync with an IPOD but that isn't critical. I don't download that many of them. However a couple of my fav pod casts now do video stuff also. As usually I'm thanking everyone in advance. Oh I'm using Hardy for this. After much going back and forth, it just works for me without much tweaking. Craig Button 2008-08-27T16:58:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.ale/60890 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just upgraded one of my debian clients to latest testing/unstable. Everything looks good except when I mount up my nfs server I can't write to any files. I try as user "robert" on the client writing to ~robert/foo and even though the directory is 755 robert.users. On an ubuntu client I can mount the export just fine and have no issues. There is nothing in the logs on either the nfs server or client to indicate any problems, just the fact the client can't write to any files and I can't read anything that is not world readable.

It will need to have an HD or SSD available for swapping and writing logfiles, but the OS, the custom user-land application, and all required libraries will run from the CD. I've played around with DIY Linux before, and got to the point of booting a custom CD with Busybox and a shell. However, from an "enterprise friendliness" standpoint it would be good to base this project on a mainstream distro. Is there any particular distro I should look at? In the absence of suggestions otherwise, I hear a faint voice yelling "Slack!" in the distance...
