3 months Yawn
That Linux box is just a baby the up time is only measured in months. Get
back to us when its been up for a few years. I have no doubt it could do
it. A friend used to say Linux only crashes when he did something dumb and
even then he had to work at it.

Let us know when you beat the record I read about in one of the Linux mags.
A 386 ran 4+ years as a mail server gateway for a 200 point WAN in Germany.
Now if I can just find the time to get Xastir compiled on my SUSE box.
Apparently the version of motif is not to it's taste and the compile bombs.
No time yet to sort it out.

Cool idea ? That is the way I set up my firewall, Smoothwall 2.0 GPL. I
knew very little about unix 2 months ago and still know little but the
install went very well and runs without any problems on an old P90 that
was about to be thrown out.I even configured 3 NIC's on it without
knowing much of *nix.

Um. (/me looks down at the 256MB single-sided DIMM on his desk). You
want to be more specific? 8-)
xxxxxxxxxxx is usually pretty good about wierd RAM, if it's not listed on
their website, sometimes a phone call can find it in their stock.

I watched the packet traffic and I am sending out the ack.
After the ack has been negotiated, it then echos the message just received
to "blank".
Samples seen at:
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/msg.cgi?call=K4COE
Would having the D7 DIGI on do this? I do not recall turning it on.
Still (easily) puzzled...

MacAPRS continues to run months at a time. It went down this weekend
after about 6 months because we had a major storm and power failure.
The last 4 or 5 times it has been restarted was because of either
power failure or I wanted to run a new version.
This is the server that runs the email for the entire APRS network.

Subject: D700 Configuration Question

X-Message-Number: 7
I run a D700 with a Garmin 45XL mobile. Somehow I have set something wrong
on the D700. The altitude that the D700 sends out is a STATIC 97 foot (even
though I live at 5700 feet). The GPS shows the proper altitude. If I choose
the 'POS' on the D700 it shows the 97 foot for the altitude. I cannot find
how to get that to change dynamically? Nor can I see how to change it at
all. Hope that someone can help so that my altitude sent out by my D700 is
dynamic vs static?
Tnx & 73,
Dave N0EOP

Sorry for the delay, while I drove over 8,000 miles --
No, Peter was not local to me. I never figured out what the
problem was, it just started working on its own. FM, I guess...

WOWSERS! Doesn't this paint us all with the same brush?

Altho I _do_ use short-distance voice communications at times, my license
gives me a greater distinction than CB operation, :-) so, I do not consider
being painted by the same brush, thank you..

Sorry,
That didn't come out quite like I meant it to.. I would like to think THEY,
the city, would know the difference, but I also did not read the full
article as to how they think they have a right to enforce such an ordinance
involving communication issues..
Where is the article?
