Originallly I was testing this with a perl script I jave written useing the Device::Serial module, but at this point, I have backed off to suing minixom, to eliminate programing errors on my part. If I place a 1/2 second delay after thetransmission of each line from the transmiting machine, the problem goes away. What's eve stranger, is that, without the delay, slower (ie 2400) baud rates, seem to miss more characters than fast ones! Even assuming that I have a problem in the wiring of my cable, such that hardware handshaking does not work, this should work with xon/xoff handshaking, right? The characters I am streaming are all 7 bit ASCII.

I didn't catch it, and needless to say the kernel was a bit unhappy when it rebooted and couldn't find its modules. So.... #rm /modules (a file not a directory this time) #cd /usr/src/compile/MYKERNEL #make depend #make #make install once again, install creates a file called /modules rather than a directory /modules. so.... #rm /modules #mkdir /modules #make install works fine. Once again, this *USED* to work before I CVSUP'd last night; the kernel install routine, on detecting no /modules directory would create it correctly as a directory prior to putting all the files in. Now, it tries to put all the files into one big file, and neddless to say the kernel can't find, for example, /modules/linux.ko becuase there is no directory /modules/. It isn't terribly difficult to work around, and once you are aware of it, it shouldn't burn you again, but it WAS rather a pain, the more so because the last time I did this (working on a sound driver port) it worked, so I expected it to work this time. Anyway, happy new year all, hopefully if it is *supposed* to work this way, maybe knowing it will save someone else a bit a of grief, and if it is *not* supposed to work this way, then someone can do something about it....shouldn't be terribly difficult in the makefile to check for the existence of /modules/ (as a directory) and create it first if it doesn't exist..... mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjpPdGwACgkQZ7GovTQbIm5tygCfSlbA/WtNwzBsw+YjJAFm+0u0 Y/YAnRxaTA49IfHwoCJnFiwnhmeCDkpx =ovpe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-stable Sun Dec 31 12:16:55 2000 From owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 31 12:16:52 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Received: from mail.gmx.net (pop.gmx.net [194.221.183.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id EEA2637B400 for ; Sun, 31 Dec 2000 12:16:51 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 20438 invoked by uid 0); 31 Dec 2000 20:16:46 -0000 Received: from p3ee21609.dip.t-dialin.net (HELO speedy.gsinet) (62.226.22.9) by mail.gmx.net (mail03) with SMTP; 31 Dec 2000 20:16:46 -0000 Received: (from sittig@localhost) by speedy.gsinet (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA09907 for freebsd-stable@freebsd.org; Sun, 31 Dec 2000 16:09:54 +0100 Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2000 16:09:54 +0100 From: Gerhard Sittig To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Re: What's new with xdm and 4.2 ?

So you won't see /etc/hosts queries on the network and needn't see them when tracing syscalls. But yes, one could watch DNS queries with some libpcap mechanism (tcpdump being the most famous of them). But then it might be easier to talk the named on the server side into logging, see "man named" for details if that's what you have running there. Unless the LAN is somewhat bigger and you need the filtering capabilities tcpdump provides you with. virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.

I got an SMC USB 10bT adapter for free with my cable modem (they had ISA, USB and PCMCIA, so I took the USB for novelty). It must be really really cheap to make. shopper.com lists several for about $30, and 100bT for $35. On the other hand, the "USB to USB" cable by SMC is $40!

On the other hand, the "USB to USB" cable by SMC is $40! 100mbit USB ethernet is fairly silly since it cant possibly run at that speed on USB... I think USB max is 12mbit... USB ports are all part of a hub of sorts.. and you can get USB hubs to add more ports, an interesting idea would to connect multiple systems to the USB hub and have your self a 12mbit IP network... Probably not possible but its an interesting idea!

Has > anyone tried to develop IP drivers for either of those? USB is not a peer-peer scheme, so you'd have to have the appropriate magic dongle. For most of people, that's probably an ethernet-USB adapter. For firewire, under windows, Sony ships an IP stack. The NetBSD folks have made some headway. Here's the comments the inital if_fw.c: revision 1.1 date: 2000/11/05 17:17:15; author: onoe; state: Exp; First Prototype implementation of network interface part for IEEE1394 (if_fw). Current status: Only OHCI chip is supported (fwohci). ping (IPv4) works with Sony's implementation (SmartConnect) on Win98. sometimes works but not stable. Not implemented yet: IRM (Isochronous Resource Manager) functionality. Link layer fragmentation. Topology map.

That is all nice... But is there maybe a command line switch for this? Or a way to specifiy this on the command line? It would be much better to alias a command to that, since setting that envirnment variable breaks things...

A typical movie fills up 10GB. Yes, you could rip it to something smaller, but that's still pretty impractical. > Biuld support for your hardware! I made an overture, but the silence from the USB guys was deafening. I may have hit them at a busy time. > Dont use SmartMedia-to-USB adapter :) I already have it. It'd be a shame to have paid for it, and then spend the money on a PCMCIA IDE adapter for it. > Simple all your duel boot needs gone! Almost. We don't have (and won't have for some time), support for the Sorensen codec; therefore, many (most?) Quicktime clips cannot be viewed, and for some time to come, we also won't have support for ASX or ASF streams. I can live without most of that, but it's darned inconvenient. I've made some headway with porting LiViD (for DVDs), but time is at a premium right now, and that work has come to a standstill. Then there's mounting CD-RWs that haven't been closed out to ISO9660. I'm not bitching, mind you--I love FreeBSD, and only boot Windows when I absolutely must. These are just reasons why I cannot yet completely jettison Windows. -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer behanna@bogus.zbzoom.net Remove "bogus" before responding.
