Here's one that I stumbled on. I don't really know that much about it, other than what the site says... http://www.kiwi-computers.com/discman/ __________ ______
One of my favorite "features" of the RAM disk was the ability to complete warm restarts on the machine, which would leave the RAM disk present for booting. Back in the floppy days, having your system disk in RAM and then your games on disk certainly helped and sped things up. I've never found the RAM disk features in other OS' quite as appealing as those in AmigaOS. Oh well. ________________
Not entirely lame. Sucky, yes, but not lame. Some DHCP implementations require the physical MAC address for your NIC to allow multiple machines to work via DHCP. It depends on how the DSL connection is configured... a routed connection won't typically experience these problems, as the ADSL modem is indeed a router (in most cases, such as with NetSpeed/Cisco), however in newer environments (Newbridge, for example) the connection is bridged and the DHCP server relies on the MAC addresses to know what machines are to receive an IP address. This has caused a lot of headaches at work, but until Cisco has a solution... Gah.
For Linux, this is no big deal as its easy to get the MAC address. Macintoshes, however, are the problem. Then again, when aren't they?:)
Depending on the DSL technology that is being used, a POTS splitter may be required on some customer premises to split the frequency range for the DSL modem and the POTS line. With the g.Lite "standard" growing in acceptance, the day is very close to you being able to pick up a g.Lite modem in your local computer store and plugging it and going, much like high-speed modems or ISDN terminal adapters. Until then, work has to be done by a CTS tech to insure that the CPE can see the DSLAMs at the Central Office (CO).
Has anyone successfully downloaded these? The site simply rejects my serial number from my card, and there is no means of emailing for information. Argh!
Actually, I disagree. I work for one of the big "two" telcos in Canada, specifically in the Internet services group. By and large, the telcos are complying with local competition and competitive access for ISPs, at least in Western Canada (whoops, not hard to tell I don't work for Bell). The companies that aren't complying right now are cablecos... they have their networks locked tighter than the telcos ever did, and refuse to budge. Its not until all major carriers (telco AND cable) are open for competition that we can see some fair competition. As for CanCon, I wish for the day I can watch my US sat dish without it being quasi legal. I'll watch whatever is good -- if its good Canadian content, I'll watch it. If its good Australian content, I'll watch it. I don't care where its from, I just want the choice. Give me my HBO!
Am I the only one who has been using the GATOS XATITV package as my TV software under Linux? I have an All-In-Wonder-Pro and have no problems using it under Linux.

Oh yeah. Bell (Canada) sucks. :P
