    Sounds like we have similar interests :)

    As it happens I was discussing eznos.org's webserver running on a 8088 earlier today.

    Writing basic web servers in any languague is pretty easy

    Very true. Only some languages are a bit more difficult than others. Still for real quick and dirty 1 page efforts NetCat makes a great webserver ;)

  3. PSHTTPD - PostScript webserver on phpstack - A TCP/IP Stack and Web Server in PHP · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This php webserver reminds me of HTTPi a webserver written in 100% perl. Neither of which are that hard when you know. However Anders "Pugo" Karlsson wrote a webserver called PS HTTPD in postscript. Now that I found very impressive :)

    I appreciate the tim time you took to provide an informed reply to my posting. However a small fact that you overlooked was that the word medical did NOT appear in my own posting. As I am sure you are very well aware PhD research is also conducted at hospitals!

    Oh dear, I am writing this on my original IBM System 360 by punching the holes in the paper tape by hand. Does that mean that I win?

    No as I was simply replying in mutual agreement (as a fellow 486 user) to help ensure this poster got modded up - I am pleased to see that happened! Believe it or not there are actually people on slashdot who don't mind risking mod points to help other interesting posts relevant to the topic get modded up.

    If like myself you also have a background in IBM mainframes then you might like to try Hercules.

    Use DooM Remake...it's sweet. Has IP and server configs all built in

    Interesting. Thx. Although reading through posts on the net I have seen several people suggesting using the Win32 port JDoom instead.

    Still for many of us actually using old 386/486 (and below :) hardware is all part of the fun. In addition the joy of having old hardware lying around is you can take risks with it which you wouldn't want to do with your new PC, besides it's also fun to do things with older hardware that people wouldn't think was possible on such old equipment e.g. here is one of my favourites a webserver on a 8088.

    Ok a quick summary of the power/benefits of DRM (Digital Radio Modiale) (aka digital AM radio) based on MOEYT's presentation together with some useful links:
    • FM sound quality with wide AM reach with digital reception quality
    • Digital tuning support station text
    • Supports multiple channels with digital audio/text/other services
    • Can use existing transmitters

    Useful links:

    The frars talk I attended was given by M0EYT and covered the future of long range digital broadcasts using Digital Radio Modiale. The BBC research labs and many others are involved with DRM research. Just about to load up M0EYT's talk (which unfortunately isn't publically available - sorry!).

  14. Re:Broadcasting data. on Providing Access to Info in Developing Countries · · Score: 1

    Totally agree. I think sending streams of public data over long range radio would help, e.g. by making using GNU software radio project. Just hunting down some links from a very good talk on the forth coming long wave digital radio that I attended at FRARS.

    Your right this is worthy of slashdot.... I did a bit a searching and now realise just how much "research" this guy was producing and then being quoted on. e.g:
