Hylafax was common and in use 4 yrs ago. U can easily build a mail to fax gateway-relay, saving your multilocation client several thousand on STD and even more on ISD. <Glorification on> btw i used to design fax machines and built several prototypes, including a fax relay network and a telex-fax gateway in the days when dialing several places in India (particularly Delhi, Gauhati) required a steady supply of spare index fingers. rgds jtd

How to convert NTFS to FAT32
by amit453d 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Hi All, I have a dual boot machine winXP Sp2 and RHEL v3 using Grub loader, now the problem is, sitting on Linux I cant access the three drives in windows (C-NTFS/D-FAT32/E-FAT32) where the Master boot record is in the C-ntfs drive. Also the INtel m/b is 865gev 2.8Ghz and a single sata HD. Also the linux is unable to recongnize the m/b sound card. PLz provide some solution for this. Cheers, Amit.

Linux compatible AMD64 motherboard...
by DJ 01 Jan '06

01 Jan '06

Hi, One of my friends wants to go in for a new system. He is keen on dualbooting with Linux and Windows. He is going in for an AMD64 3000+ system. He asked me to recommend a good compatible motherboard with moderate to high performance. I am a complete newbie to AMD systems. I have a sempron system but I am clueless about which motherboards are available for AMD64 let alone the good ones compatible with Linux... Anyone with an AMD64 system please respond. PS.: I heard that AMD64 is based on different cores. Which core should he get? Also what should be the operating frequency of the DDR RAM he buys? 333MHz or 400MHz or should he go in for a DDR2? I know that the CPUs FSB and the RAM's OF should be in sync for optimum performance. What is it for an AMD64 system? -- Dinesh A. Joshi

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Accessing NTFS Partition
by Chirag Wazir 29 Dec '05

Hi, > From: "Karia Amit" <amit_karia99(a)rediffmail.com> > Can any one tell me how to access(mount) ntfs partition of remote > windows server into RHEL3 Server, NTFS module is compiled to my > machine as a module You need to use the samba client. The NTFS module is irrelevant in this case. The remote windows partition needs to be shared and then you can do something like: smbmount //winmachine/share /localdir -o username=amit,password=xyz Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org
