8/20 Any recommendations for DSL in the Mountain View area? How much should
I expect to pay for a basic connection?
\_ It's supposed to be something like 50 bucks/month, but there's ALWAYS
10 extra dollars/month for something. Some tax or something. I don't
remember. All I know is that my friend is paying $60/month. --ricky
\_ It must be the ISP. For some reason DSL providers never
incorporate that into their advertising. "Oh, by the way, on
top of that $50 you pay you also have to get an ISP"
\_ Go TCI. Free install (usually), no hidden charges. |

8/22 Two Linux ?s:
1. Any software packages out there to allow a
terminal or graphical interface with Windoze machines?
Such as PCanywhere for Linux (if it exists), etc.
\_ VNC (free, works w/ everything), WinFram (commercial,
only works w/ NT I think), VMWare (commercial,
gives you a virtual PC in a box)
\_ You really want VNC. Not only free but open source and has
X11 support.
2. Anybuddy else figure out how to get a 3Com ethernet card
to run as a secondary ethernet card? It's one of
those PnP types. I got pnpdump/isapnp to recognize it,
but it still doesn't show up on ifconfig. Any klews?
\_ Read the Ethernet HOWTO. You need to pass you kernel
some parameters at boot up.
\_ alias eth1 3c905 in the /etc/conf.modules
Thanx all. - mtbb. |

8/21 Does anyone have any pointers to a good resource with information
on:
o relocation packages (what's typical, what isn't)
o acceptable amount of time between being made an offer and actually
accepting it
I'm about to accept a job offer for a place down in El Lay, and
was wondering what would be "typical" for them to cover.
\_ note this is taxable income
o acceptable amount of time between being made an offer and actually
accepting it
I'm about to accept a job offer for a place down in El Lay, and
was wondering what would be "typical" for them to cover.
\_ I was offered $4k to relocate as part of my hiring bonus which I
had to return if I didn't stay 4 years (yeah right). Needless to
say I accepted a different offer. You shouldn't leave them hanging
for more than a week at most unless you've warned them you're still
interviewing elsewhere.
\_ Go to yahoo's career site and you'l find out the "exchange rate"
between SF and LA. If you get paid 50K in LA, then it is roughly
58K in SF. Your 4K relocation does not sound good. I know a MS gal
\_ I wasn't the original poster. -Mr. 4k package
who got 5K bonus plus 4000 shares of options (and the stock went
up $10 only after a year). She left the company in less than a
year, paid back the 4K relocation, and kept the options. Go figure.
\_ Oh, MS = masters, not M$. There's a ~5K difference in pay. |

8/21 My gay lover left me and moved to New York but he's thinking of
moving back to the Bay Area. He called me the other night and we
talked all night long. It was like old times but I don't know if
it's right to take him back. What should I do? -feeling used

8/21 Can Sun's Disk Suite mirror the root filesystem? I know that
Veritas Volume Manager can...
\-yes
\_ yes.. there's docs explaining exactly how to do it -shac
\_ Any pointers to where in the docs this is? the
only thing that I was able to find said
specifically that metadisks could NOT be used on
/, /var, /usr, or any other partition that was
used to boot the system. The docs also said that
mirrors were comprised of metadisks.... Thanks
for any help.
\-if you say so ... look in the ODS package area
[in /usr/opt,probably] and the CD for docs. --psb
/dev/md/dsk/d4 771110 124853 592280 18% /
/dev/md/dsk/d3 2108986 623245 1422472 31% /usr
/dev/md/dsk/d2 1603526 270107 1285314 18% /var
\_ You sure you're not looking in old docs? Older versions
of disksuite couldn't mirror /, /usr, etc. but that
restriction was lifted around Disksuite 3.0 or 4.0
(Solaris 2.4/2.5 timeframe)
\-you know mirroring the boot disks might not be a good
idea if you really are not reasonably familiar with
disksuite. --psb
\_ Well, I'm trying to BECOME familiar
with it, so that I can effectively
use it. That's why I'm looking for
the docs.
\_ http://docs.sun.com --jon
\_ even when set up correctly, it can have some
nasty side effects. I had that set up once
and in a weird situation, i had filesystem
corruption on one disk. this was mirrored
on the second disk. barring that, it also
saved my ass when a disk died and I had a
4 day cpu job running. -jon |

8/21 Anyone know any reason why my connection to soda would drop after
a period of inactivity. I've set up a firewall to block all
connections below 1024 and I'm guessing that has something to do
with it. Any ideas?
\_ Your firewall is dropping the connection. You need to increase
its idle timeout for established TCP connections; if you tell us
what kind of firewall you have, we can probably help.
\_ cool, thanks. it's linux 2.2 ipchains.
\_ You can use "ipchains -MS 86400 0 0" to increase the timeout
to a day.
\_ thanks.
\_ keep alives not keeping alive or you have an idle timeout on your
shell.
\_ It was working fine until I moved it behind a firewall.
\_ What's "keep alives"?
\_ Soda's TCP stack will send a zero-length packet after
\_ never understood why they called TCP a stack.
\_ Technically TCP is a layer in the protocol
stack.
\_ You mean that 7 layer OSI model?
\_ No, the similar, but less layered
TCP/IP model. Some examples:
NFS
HTTP Sun RPC
TCP TCP or UDP
IP IP
PPP/SLIP Ethernet
\_ Never understood why the millennium bug is
not called the century bug instead either.
\_ Because millennium sounds more
impressive. (Both are wrong of
course, since the next century
and next millenium start 1/1/2001).
you've been idle for a while to make sure your machine
is still alive, to force either an ACK or a RST. If it
gets neither it decides your machine is dead and kills the
connection. Soda is currently set to send a keep alive
after 24 hours of inactivity. |
