Hey, Its too big to put on my university server. Thats the only public one i have access to. So, i will put it up on my own ftp server. The connection might break sometimes(once in 2 days) due to a reboot, but other than that u should have no problems accessing it. ftp://thecode:thecode@orca.wien.rhno.columbia.edu:21 Let me know if u are having any more problems.

24Online Client for Linux and Multiboot systems
by kshitijv 11 Nov '02

11 Nov '02

Hello Luggers, I have recently subscribed to an ISP that provides Internet access over LAN. The ISP uses a software (24Online from elitecore) to validate users and track the usage for billing. I have 3 OSs viz, Win98,Win2000 and Linux. The ISP's client software does not have Linux version. Also once I connect through WIN98/Win2k I can't connect from the other OS. The server software doesn't allow me to login. Error message says "you are not allowed to login from this machine. I have checked the raw data sent by the client (from 2 OSs) to the server using sniffer programs and found them to be different. can anybody tell me how should I fix this? (If at all it's possible) -Kshitij kshitijv e-mail: kshitijv(a)forindia.com

I have 3 OS and I can connect through all. The 24online client works well for win98SE as well as winXP. You have to configure your network properly in *all* the OS. >I have checked MAC addresses using sniffers. In both cases WIN2K & >WIN98, they are same. The difference is in the lenght of Login >message (raw bytes) sent to the server. Also the ports used by 24 >Online client on 2 OSs are different. ????? I fear this is not my experience. >My concern is not about continuos availabity of connection, but to >connect from multiple OSs. The 24online server identifies your machine with 3 things : IP, MAC-ADDR & and authentication string based on your password. For linux. I had to do a tiny hack to the linc code. It was about the length of one of the message fields. After recompilaton it worked fine. The instruction which come with linc are important.

Hi, The People's Republic of China is emerging as one of the world's strongholds for the Linux operating system. According to a new report from Evans Data, nearly two-thirds of those Chinese developers that were surveyed (65 percent) expect to write an application for Linux in the next year. Close to half (44 percent) have already done so. Here's the whole story http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/10792_1494881 Another Reason why india needs to catch up Our Linux Expo will be another step in this direction. ---> Vinayak Hegde -----Original Message----- From: Trevor Warren <trevor.w(a)media.mit.edu> To: linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 12:32:28 +0530 Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] lets have our own linux bombay 02

India Gates: Mixing Business with Politics
by Tahir Hashmi 11 Nov '02

11 Nov '02

Hi all! On page 10 of Todays Economic Times, it says: "Bill to schmooze with corporate hi-fliers Ambani & Tata, and nation's First Citizen, Kalam" Extracts (yeah, I _typed_ them out): "Among the most interesting meetings is the one with RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani. The meeting assumes significance since Reliance is likely to emerge as a key player in the IT-telecom domain, once Reliance Infocomm gets active" "There is a clear-cut case for Mr. Gates to meet both Infosys chairman NR Narayanamurthy and TCS CEO S Ramadorai, since both these companies are working on a large number of cutting-edge Microsoft Technologies, notably, .NET." [And I thought .Net was a dud!] "Among the political class that Gates will schmooze with are five CMs -- ND Tiwari (Uttaranchal), AK Anthony (Kerala) [really?], Vilasrao Deshmukh (Maharashtra) [letter-pads out!], SM Krishna (Karnataka) and Digvijay Singh (MP)." -- The reason is the > Rs 10,000 Cr expenditure expected by the govt. on e-governance. This is the most interesting read: "Of course, the most delightful of all the meetings will be the one with our man of science, techno-savvy, brilliantly articulate President APJ Abdul Kalam. This scientist-turned India's First Citizen's passion for technology as a social transformation tool is well-known, and the two can be expected to engage in discussions on how India can harness technology to realise her dreams of becoming a developed nation." (Microsoft) Technology... India... developed... ROTFL! -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed
