  1. What kind of TR-network... on Linux Token Ring Support Bringing Down Corporate Nets? · · Score: 1

    are you're office running? Token ring is fragile stuff, but much faster than a half duplex 10mbit/s ethernett. I've read that TR has been released in a 100mbit/s version too, but I have only experience with the 4/16 mbit/s versions. It's been a while since the last time.
    Obvious the hardware is working fine. You say nothing about what speed you brought the TR-NIC up at, but you're probably aware of that bringing up a NIC at 4mbit/s in a 16mbit/s network will beakon the ring and bring the network down.

    Anyway, to work out the problem, simply ask the network people to lend you a MAU. Hook up one or more of the other pc's that works fine in the ring and do some labbing with your own little ring until you locate the problem.

    A quick look at the Madge website it seems like they actually SUPPORTS their linux drivers :) . Check out their knowlegde base and/or mail them.

  2. ...strange thing... on New Joystick Style Ergo Mouse · · Score: 1

    This type of mouse has been on the market for quite some time time now. Stangely, I have only seen women using these and women say these mouses are a lot more comfortable to use.

    This is however what I've observed. Have anyone else observed this???
