Hey all,
Am new to the list and relatively new to Linux in general, though have been using it as my primary OS for quite sometime now and luv it :) I'm using Debian 3.0 with kernel 2.4.18 and my research interest is in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) - a subset of AI. I have my open source project called Mother (http://mother.sourceforge.net)
Have a few queries and would really appreciate if I could get some help on them :
a) Over a period of time have been trying to follow the Wine project and it's progress. I'm quite impressed by it. Recently I've been trying to install Office 97 on it using wine-20021125 and the installation fails after it searches for installed components. Any ideas on how to get it goin?....and I use OpenOffice and just wanna see if I can get this going to guage the progress of Wine (basically trying to see how long it'd be before I can run my VB based inventory software at work which is currently under development under Linux....then I can run Linux at work :) ). The Wine newsgroup doesn't seem to respond to this, however there are ppl who say Office 97 is running for them....if anyone here knows how then i'd appreciate.
b) I have a Realtek 8139 based NIC and it runs great. I'm using the BSES Powersurfer Broadband service. I get speeds similar to those I get under Windows and was wondering if there's tweaking I can do that'd help improve that. My network interface comes up during bootup as set in half-duplex mode....is that due to the card? or due to the network?? basically can I set this to full duplex? or is there any other way to significantly improve speeds.
c) The Konqueror file browser upon trying to unzip a .tar.gz file seems to do it very very slowly, for huge files, when compared to the tar utility. Is that a bug or is there something i should do to set it right?
d) Anyone here knows of any project (or app) that aims to bring Voice Chatting abilities to MSN clones under Linux.
I know the aboves quite a long list of questions.....thanks a lot in advance for all the help.
Bye for now

I am mking one, I am not sure if it will be able to communicate with MSN messenger, however Netmeeting conversation will be avaiable. The project is called VChat, it is under closed development. The project will be completed by March. The basic functional software may be avaiable by Feburary middle.

Hi,
I am currently working on similar stuff in java/C under Linux, using IBM's J323 engine to talk to Netmeeting from a telephone line.
I was wondering if you are making use of the openh323.org engine by any chance ?
I realize that its "closed" development, but if possible, I would love to know what technologies you are using.
I too am looking to have a linux voice client capable of "talking" with Messenger.
I know that Messenger has shifted away from H.323 to using SIP for signaling , but I am not sure what protocol thay are using for media (RTP or propriotary stuff ???)
Regards Shahed
