That cost sounds about like the average when I looked into it, but I couldn't convince the significant other to try a new technology. It's easier when it is just me that is affected. There are Linux alternatives to the QOS router. I hate to beat a dead penguin, but I think IPCop or one of the other firewalls can do this if you already have one in place. Basically you are giving priority to the voice packets so you don't get noticeable gaps in your conversation. Kind of like having static on the phone line or watching a digital cable movie and the signal starts to drop out, screen goes blank for a second or you get blocks on the screen. Also used for realtime video streaming. Look for a QOS packet scheduler option on your firewall. I recall that you assign the priority to a port or a range of them and the internal IP of the phone. Might be something like "altq" or "frottle" (Freenet Throttle). >From Distrowatch: Linux LiveCD Router 1.9.4 A new version of Linux LiveCD Router has been released. From the changelog: "Version 1.9.4 Jun 2004. Added Frottle (Freenet Throttle) Packet Scheduling and QoS for Wireless Networks and Mesh WiFi at /opt/frottle; new default config for MRTG graphical network statistics; updated documentation." For IPCop, there is a add-in here: http://ipcop-pro.dyndns.org/download.php?view.72 Brian Kelsay >>> "Daniel Siemens" <> 02/15/05 07:16PM >>> <snip> Setup cost was like $40.00 for a "router with QOS". If you sign up, say I refereed you, I think I think we each get a free month. Number to use is 816 875 4282 if you do.

New KCLUG harddrive fund update
by Chris Bier 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks for last night's donations to the new hard drive fund! So far, we have $171. FAQ: ~ Q: How much money do you need? ~ A: How much do you have? (or enough to get a quality SATA controller (ideally $320) and two drives ($60 each) + S&H $10 = $450) ~ Q: How long do I have to donate? ~ A: We won't buy anything for a month or so to give everyone a chance donate. ~ Q: Who can I send a check to? ~ A: Bill Cavilieri ~ 1223 NE 102nd Ct ~ Kansas City, MO 64155 ~ Please put KCLUG in the Memo. ~ Q: The real question is: How does this relate to the cost of tea in China? ~ A: Well, there are several ways to calculate that, for example the standard equation: KCLUG*0=delta T, but if we look at the question using chaos theory, then it's probable that we've dressed up their leader in a clown suit, and they're all wearing two left shoes.

RE: Test Hosting Recommendation
by Brian Densmore 16 Feb '05

Ok. So how good are the pages on cross-browsers? I've seen a number of issues with .net web pages rendering very differently on Explorer and Opera or Firefox/Mozilla. I've also noticed some major speed differences between Explorer and Firefox running on the same machine. I have no problem supporting ASP as a server side page generator, as long as it is usable by all browsers equally. For this reason I use PHP for now. -----Original Message----- From: Charles, Joshua Micah (UMKC-Student) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 9:16 AM To: kclug(a)kclug.org Subject: Test Hosting Reccomendation Hello All. This post is concerning ASP.NET hosting on Linux. There is a service out there: http://www.monoforge.com/ I have a simple application running on my space. Here is an example of the power of this setup. I developed my solution on Windows XP using Visual Studio 2003 .NET. I compiled it on windows using the Microsoft .NET C# compiler. Then I simply copied my files over using an FTP client and it ran, on Linux, without recompilation. It has a MySQL backend. When I first uploaded my app, the MySQL connector was not installed on the server machine. So I simply copied the dll into the execution directory ( bin/ ) and my custom app found it and used it automatically - problem solved. The hosting is free for the moment, because this is currently a beta test. Once it goes live, beta testers will get some money off the final product. If nothing else, this is great for experimenting with. Have fun! Josh

RE: Server Crashing Question

>What is the hardware of the server, when and how frequently are the >Crashes? What happens when it crashes...kernel panic, just locks up and >logging stops? What OS is running on the server? How much traffic are >we talking about? Any idea on number of hits? Is there an increase in >hits right before the crash? I will be getting some of this information shortly. I can tell you that the server is running Redhat Enterprise Linux, the latest version, but I have no idea as to the rest. I don't mess around with the machine. I merely ftp my code onto the server from my development machines. Thanks, Josh

Re: Displaying an ellipsis character in a terminal
by Brian Kelsay 16 Feb '05

Ellipsis, as in proper punctuation, like this? http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/marks/ellipsis.htm What use do you have for that in a terminal? Can't you just type three periods? ... Or are you displaying text that already has ellipsis in it? Brian Kelsay >>> Gerald Combs <gerald(a)ethereal.com> 02/09/05 10:57PM >>> Is there any way within bash to display an ellipsis character in xterm, PuTTY, or other terminals in common use?
