We are using AMaViS on machines at my employer. It isn't the most efficient program, it ends up forking about 4-5 times for a plain text message (!) but it does work. Two drawbacks are 1. it replaces the delivery agent (usually procmail or deliver) and c. it only works for accounts local to that machine.
Now that I look again, there seems to be a way to use it on a relay. If you do that, make sure it's a beefy machine. Getting 20-30 messages/minute gets the load average into the sendmail stops talking to you range.
I've used one quite a bit, they seem to have problems. One had to be sent back as out of box defective, the media is way overpriced, and the drive had problems on both an adaptec 2940 card and an IBM ServeRaid card under Linux.
On the other hand, I also use HP DDS3 drives, you can get about 24 gigs compressed per drive. They aren't screamers, but they work correctly.
The systems running airlines now are operating at many times over their rated capacity. They were designed for fractions of the current number of users. Considering that, they are working pretty well.
I'm not sure what the AOLserver comments were about. It's based on a Tcl interpreter, a common language. There's been fewer bugs in AOLserver and the ACS software than in any random combination of PHP and MySQL systems 1/8th of the size.
Plenty of people criticize Philip, but we try to be coherent about it.
has anyone noticed that this story doesn't appear on the front page any more? it was there, i clicked it, opened a new browser to slashdot while the c&d was loading, and it was gone.
Load coils are installed every 6000 feet of copper, not 18000. Depending on the area and the switch, the first one is occasionally 3000 feet from the CO to take care of the calls from one customer with load coils to another with load coils. This is more important with analog switches, not newer digital switches.
That's pretty steep, they must be working with Xig (see yesterday) to set prices. It bothers me that Apple didn't include an X server, since it is Unix underneath all the fluff.
This would be a good project to put up on cosource.com.
I don't imagine that sampling is very accurate. I would be more comfortable with using cookie based session counting (not tracking/monitor activity). If it wasn't for the unethical tendancies of monitoring companies, a web bug would be a good way to keep track.
How much do you think it costs to hook a T1 (or E1 for the Europeans) to your Linux box. Hint, check out http://www.sangoma.com. You can get cisco routers this old pretty cheap now.
Yes, you can use any average 486 to route between two ethernets, but price out getting dual T-1/sync ports on that same machine for a real router. They are about $600 or more for a decent one that won't load down your machine at above 56k.
I've played a bit with getting ucLinux running on older Bay/Wellfleet AN routers. They are basically a system on a chip (68EN360) with some RAM and flash. It's a project for another day, though.
I went to UNI and we had a "port per pillow" (well, except in ROTH, we shared a port but not the pillows!). It was a well designed network, with encrypting cabletron hubs, not just a shared 10 mbit segment with 5000 users.
that universities don't realize that they all have similar back-end needs and collaborate to build something like this. It would be awfully huge to do as an open-source project, but if one school would release what they have so far, I think it could take off.
Instead of pimping out students, they could have better software and keep some respect.
My employer is using the ars Digita software. We haven't had any problems with it, and if you plan on doing more than just ecommerce, it's got a huge amount of functionality, all integrated together. You can save a ton of time.
In the article, it says that NSI lawyers were arguing that domain names aren't property either. That leaves them open to always "owning" them, since they aren't really property, you can't legally own them. Sounds like trouble for everyone that has a domain name through them. They got the courts to give them a good amount of power.
Many moons ago I got started with that book on an Ultrix network. It was a pretty good start. I haven't looked at it for almost 8 or so years, but it did the job. Your students will be pleased that they don't have to buy a $60 textbook they won't need again.
It almost sounds like one person (not even a KDE developer, just someone who cashed in on it's popularity) is crying about Gnome having a foundation. Does it matter to most of us if everyone in the foundation decides to do nothing simultaneously? We'll still have everything we started with, at a minimum. It's not like OS/2 because you still have your source code and can start your own foundation to keep it updated.
If 14 companies want to stand on stage and give money to have free software written, I won't complain.

You can also get to it at http://www.linuxppc.org/news/jhaas/, which does work.

You can also put them in subdirectories. It checks in the current directory first and then the root.
Now if they would just drop that patent, I would buy things from them again...

I don't worry too much about vibration for mine. I have it in a case in my trunk. Once my dsl comes back up, you can see it here.

Where do they have them for this price now? I've not been able to find them.

You needed a pr0n fix bad enough to check it out at your grandparent's place?
We don't sit around in bib overalls all day watching cows walk by. Small towns with less than 500 people near where I grew up have local 56k dialups.
We are also one of the few states to have a statewide fiber-optic network with endpoints in every county.
I think the bandwidth of a TV channel (at least in the US) is 6 MHz. Grabbing the entire TV spectrum would take a pretty beefy drive :-)
I'm guessing you are kidding. That's not action, it's looting.

I've emailed Alan a few times in the last couple of weeks, but never before that. I got through fine.
