Line balancing and modem coupling
by Rajesh 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

Hi All Can any one just go through this help me? Aim: To almost double bandwidth by using two dial up modems connected to two DIFFERENT accounts on the SAME ISP. Configuration: 1) 56K Internal Modem. 2) 56K External Modem. 3) PCQ Linux ISP: MTNL/VSNL. Have 2 phone lines under the mtnl unlimited scheme. Would like to team the two to increase my bandwidth. I have tried Multilinking (using same ISP, same Account with WinXP) and it works, but this is NOT what I want. I am looking at modem teaming, which does not require ISP support and apparently can be done on a linux machine.(load balancing). If anyone has any clue on how to go about it, I'd appreciate some documentation or help. thanks Rajesh Hi All Can any one just go through this help me?

Why Open Source Can't Meet Mass Market Demands

Why Open Source Can't Meet Mass Market Demands Thursday April 01, 2004 - [ 02:00 PM GMT ] Topics: Open Source By: Institute for Policy Innovation (Washington, DC): Is it possible that, despite all the hype, open source is not necessarily the best way to develop software? That it's not about to take over the software industry, and that it's no more a threat to Microsoft than were Netscape, the Macintosh or Word Perfect? [Editor's note: We received this press release by email several days ago. As far as we know, it is not supposed to be humor.] http://software.newsforge.com/software/04/03/30/200256.shtml?tid=132&tid=15… -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Execute binaries from vfat partition.
by Amish Munshi 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

Greetings, I was doing an experiment and realized that I cannot execute binaries stored on my vfat partition. The file is owned by the user and have a 755 permission. The /etc/fstab file has "defaults,uid=500,gid=100,users" as the options. "man mount" says the defaults has exec as an option. Any clues how to execute binaries stored on vfat partition? Regards. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The professional email service
