Excellent idea from Alan Davis! Would a day be enough? How about a weekend? Peter Rutherford, Worthing

LaTeX
by Roger Whittaker 22 Mar '00

One thing I meant to mention and kept forgetting: Anyone who teaches maths might be interested in the fantastically good quality worksheets etc. which can be done with TeX/LaTeX which are installed on every Linux system. Also just for creating high quality (much better than word processed) documents. If anyone would like to see examples, just ask. -- Roger Whittaker SuSE Linux Ltd The Kinetic Centre Theobald Street Borehamwood Herts WD6 4PJ ---------------------- 020 8387 1482 ---------------------- roger(a)suse-linux.co.uk ----------------------

More Modems
by adrian.wells 21 Mar '00

21 Mar '00

Hi, I tried an external US robotics Sportster 56K V90 on serial port 1 - No problems - Dialed and connected first go. Of the internal modems... The ISA modems (PC56PVP) were found on the list at http://www.grapevine.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html and it tells me that these are win modems. I was unable to find the PCI Modem (PCI56PVP) on the list, although other parts of the document implied that PCI modems will not work. Both of these modem types use the PCtel Chip set. The documentation goes on to bolster my belief that external modems are the best bet. I have told Netscape that I am using a modem, but it is unable to see the net, do I need to set up a proxy server?
