I have it on CD if you want me to do an e-mail file attach although it might take longer that way since I will have to get my niece to e-mail it to you but first will have to get it to her. Let me know though. So far that is all I could find but haven't really searched all that much. I noticed on the CD it is under /apps/www/editors (or something like that) so you may want to look for a directory on Sunsite called /www and perhaps you will have more success. Anyhoo gotta run so will ttyl.

Considering that having the swap file on the same drive as the data drive might leave the heads rather busy, and having to read the swap file through yet another filesystem, you might find that an old 50 meg dedicated as a swap drive isn't that slow after all.. --- * Origin: 300 miles East of Seattle, WA (1:346/3@fidonet) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 241 LINUX Ref: F3R00004 Date: 03/21/98 From: WILLIE MCKEMIE Time: 06:09pm \/To: MAURICE KINAL (Read 4 times) Subj: html tools 21-Mar-1998 18:09 Hi Maurice, Greetings! 20-Mar-98 16:46:36, Maurice Kinal wrote to Willie McKemie Subject: html tools MK> 19 Mar 98 20:28, Willie McKemie wrote to Maurice Kinal: MK> Found another one called Bulldozer HTML Editor for X-Windows and MK> Linux.

I run a small ISP in Colorado Springs using Linux servers. I'm using the Cyclades card and currently have 18 modems hanging off my dial up server. I am occasionally getting: INIT: Id "d15" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes Sometimes this happens to only one modem. Other times it might cycle between two or three modems? The man page says that if init respawns a modem more than 10 times in 2 minutes, it will assume there is an error and refuse to respawn the device for 5 minutes. I am using slackware 3.1 and the mgetty getty. Does anyone have any idea what could cause init to decide a modem (or maybe the port) has an error?
