IPUNIVERSAL is the ONLY COMPANY who has all these features available at ONE -STOP Location. We are inviting you to become our NODEOWNERS for your marketplace and make HUGE PROFITS every month. All you need is to have a 64Kbps IP connection, 5 telephone lines( for a 4- port FAXPAD) or 9 telephone lines ( for a 8-PORT FAXPAD). As a FAXPAD owner you can make between $1,000 to $1,500 per "PORT per MONTH" gross revenue when you become part of the IPUNIVERSAL NETWORK and send FAXes anywhere in the world at 60 to 85% savings from the local PT&T rates. As an ISP this is the ONLY WAY you can become profitable, right from the beginning. Brief Details for this HUGE VALUE - ADDED- SERVICES.OPPORTUNITY We are looking for a partner in various countries, who has or can get at least 64kbps IP( Internet) connection and can get at least 9 telephone lines ( for a 8-port FAXPAD). This will enable us to put our FAX2FAX Gateway (NODE) at your location. Once part of our IPUNIVERSAL NETWORK, now your Customer can send a FAX from a standard FAX machine to another standard Fax machine worldwide on our IPUNIVERSAL NETWORK. Your customer DOES NOT need any computer or Internet connection to send FAXes. The COST of sending such FAX is almost the same COST as sending a FAX within in your local area, across town. Example: To send a FAX from say, Beijing to LOS ANGELES If your CUSTOMER wants to send fax from Beijing (where our NODE will be Located with you as the ISP partner), he will dial into your NODE in Beijing, a local call, and then the NODE will transmit IMMEDIATELY the FAX to our SuperNODE in Los Angeles over the INTERNET and then LOS ANGELES SuperNODE will dial the Local Fax Number in LA ( or anywhere in the World ) and download the FAX to the destination FAX. This is IMMEDIATE. NODE in Beijing, once part of our IPUNIVERSAL NETWORK, will pay the TERMINATING CHARGES in LA ( for example, it is 20 cents/minute). Beijing NODE Owner is permitted to charge its customer, WHATEVER THEY WANT, Each NODE will generate its own CDR (Call Data Records) for every transmission, "SENT" or " RECEIVED" through the NODE. That way you can bill your customer accordingly . You have an opportunity to make unlimited amount of money. NO Commissions. You are the boss of your own NODE. We have the CLEARING HOUSE ( Settlement of Accounts between the NODES ) Here in LA for the IPUNIVERSAL NETWORK. We will use each NODE's CDRs to settle the accounting between the "Sending Node" and the "Terminating " NODE. 1. We will offer you a Turn-Key NODE, with Rack Mounted Industrial Chassis, CPU, HDD, RAM, NIC, Hardware and all the Software, fully configured, tested and burn-in with FULL technical and maintenance support. These NODES are available for 4-port system, or 8 or 16 to 32 port systems. 2. We will provide professional Network Management and 3. We will do the Settlement of Accounts between the NODES. 4. We will give you the Billing Software so that you can bill your customers. We are the ONLY company with all these features to make a COMPLETE professional Network. IPUNIVERSAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM We can work with you in one of the 2 ways, as below: (a) FAXPAD NODEOWNER: In this program, we will give you SPECIAL PRICES for the "Turn-key" FAXPADs with good terms, give you full Tech support, maintenance, and FREE upgrades for 12 months. We will do the Network Management, clearinghouse accounting and give you the Billing/Accounting program to bill your customers. We will give you the Termination Rates from your location to North America and to ROW (Rest of the World) This will be entirely your business and we fully support you as our Network Partner. (b) REVENUE SHARING PROGRAM: For this, we are looking for good, sound companies in different countries to do this program. The company should have good Financial strength, strong Sales/ Marketing and Management experience as an ISP/Carrier/Entrepreneur In the REVENUE SHARING PROGRAM, we will do everything as stated above in paragraph (a). ---- In addition we will invest 50% of the money towards the purchase of the FAXPADs. ---- Then we will equally share the profit with the Local company, like you.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been having MANY problems with freebsd. The last set I recieved, I had trouble with getting x-windows to run. I gave up. I'd forgotten to cancel my subscription and have recieved 2.2.7, which is even worse from what I can tell. Firstly, after the install program runs, on reboot it reports it cannot mount the drive, wd2, on the second partition, where I instructed the install program to put the bsd system. I go back into the install program, to find that no root was put on the disk, nor any other files sytsem, except for the swap! Only the swap remains intact! All I had to do to make the second drive bootable with windows, was copy the system files to that drive and in setup, make that the bootdrive. It took 30 seconds. It takes 10 minutes for me to install windows from a cd. I don't see 50.00's worth of advancements here, from any linux system. None of them will install a windowing OS. Per the chace I do get this thing to work without x-windows, how do you change from one drive to another? -- Shea F. Kenny 910 4th.

It copied the first file, then asked me to insert the disk with UNIX-SLASH filename. The file it wanted was on the floppy in DOS-SLASH filename.

I won't be using FreeBSD only because I can't. Any help would be appreciated. I've read wonderful things about FreeBSD. I hate Windows95. It locks up, and I can not afford a Visual C++.

This was misaddressed to freebsd-doc; if you want to get actual help on your questions then you MUST read the docs and the docs say very clearly, and in multiple places, that you should send questions to (not surprisingly) questions@freebsd.org. 2. You give absolutely no indication of which release of FreeBSD you're even talking about. 3. I assume that you prepared the floppies precisely in accordance with the instructions in LAYOUT.TXT, otherwise all bets are off. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Tue Sep 1 02:10:13 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA16265 for freebsd-doc-outgoing; Tue, 1 Sep 1998 02:10:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.FreeBSD.ORG [204.216.27.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id CAA16257 for ; Tue, 1 Sep 1998 02:10:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gnats@FreeBSD.org) Received: (from gnats@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.5) id CAA12900; Tue, 1 Sep 1998 02:10:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from shale.csir.co.za (shale.csir.co.za [146.64.46.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id CAA15864 for ; Tue, 1 Sep 1998 02:04:36 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from reg@shale.csir.co.za) Received: (from reg@localhost) by shale.csir.co.za (8.9.1/8.9.1) id LAA01939; Tue, 1 Sep 1998 11:03:35 +0200 (SAT) (envelope-from reg) Message-Id: <199809010903.LAA01939@shale.csir.co.za> Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1998 11:03:35 +0200 (SAT) From: reg@shale.csir.co.za Reply-To: reg@shale.csir.co.za To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG X-Send-Pr-Version: 3.2 Subject: docs/7795: Error in gcc man page Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org >Number: 7795 >Category: docs >Synopsis: Error in gcc man page >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Sep 1 02:10:02 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Jeremy Lea >Organization: Arb's inc. >Release: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386 >Environment: 3.0-CURRENT >Description: Man page says to use -D_THREADSAFE instead of -D_THREAD_SAFE >How-To-Repeat: man gcc >Fix: --- gcc.1.orig Tue Sep 1 10:57:26 1998 +++ gcc.1 Tue Sep 1 10:57:46 1998 @@ -525,12 +525,12 @@ .TP .BI "\-pthread" Link a user-threaded process against libc_r instead of libc.

Those who contribute primarily documentation fixes and such would likely welcome this addition. :) I think it's a fine idea.

"Documentation Contributors" implies a list of everyone who has contributed to the documentation (what documentation specifically? handbook, web, manpages?), which implies a lot of the people already listed under "Contributors", which implies a lot of overlap, which implies that "Document Translation Team" is better. :) I've thought for a while that some of these seemingly tireless translators really deserve more recognition. Or heck, broaden your target and go for "Internationalization Team". ;-) -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.

They don't have their product ready for FreeBSD yet. It does seem very good thought. I like their site and the info they provide much better than their competitor (XiGraphics).

Since this is a volunteer project, it's also always our suggestion that people focus on whatever tasks they LIKE to do and be pretty much self-driven in their contribution since it's our experience that people don't last very long otherwise. So the real question is: What do you WANT to do? :) Once you've decided that, by all means simply jump in and start doing it. We're not a management body in the sense that we tell people what to do or grant "permission" for them to make contributions; they just do that on their own and if people like what they're doing, it naturally becomes part of the project. - Jordan > I have OpenBSD, Linux 5.0, Windoze95, and FreeBSD.

Market commentary 2. SNN perspective on profiled companies 3. FLNK update 4. NLAB update 5. New Subscribers 6. Stock quotes 7. How to unsubscribe 8. SNN privacy policy 9. How to contact SNN 10. Disclaimer 1. Market Commentary We live in interesting times! August has traditionally been a tough month on investors and this year has been no exception. During August we have seen three of the five worst one day point drops in the history of the DJIA. The Dow and NASDAQ are now back near their starting point for the year and the 7600 level has been penetrated on the down side. Given the lofty levels of the Dow, this can be viewed as a positive correction of an upward trend that had resulted in the big cap stocks becoming over-bought. The US economy is continuing to perform well and there is no sign of inflation, US interest rates are stable and if anything will probably move lower between now and the end of the year. This will weaken the strong US dollar and will in turn strengthen sales of major US exporting companies. To date, the Fed and Mr. Greenspan have used the levers at their disposal to manage the economy in an exemplary fashion and despite all the political and personal problems in Washington, there is no reason to believe this stewardship won't continue and result in a continuation of an expanding economy, with perhaps a slightly inflationary bias to counteract the deflation in commodity prices. This is a good environment for the stock market and should result in rising stock valuations. We believe that over the next 2 weeks American markets will begin to move higher again. We also believe that there is tremendous value developing in the smaller capitalization sectors of the stock market. The decline in these companies valuations has proceeded the large cap sell-off and their P/E ratios are attractive. 2. SNN News In regard to our previously profiled companies FutureLink Distribution Corp. and NuOncology Labs Inc. we want our subscribers to understand our perspective on these two companies and how they relate to our overall business strategy. We know that if the companies we profile in SNN are not successful, this will directly impact on our success in the financial news service business. We do a lot of "digging" into what is going on in the companies we profile and hopefully have a good idea of the direction they are heading. We cannot always state categorically that an acquisition is close, or a financing is being negotiated but we intend to be right more than wrong if we repeat rumors of impending developments. Finally, we want to have the largest subscriber base of any e mail based financial news service- something that will give our message real weight with a significant number of investors in the "New Economy." Briefly, these are our philosophy and goals and it is our hope that in achieving them you will be a more successful investor and we will be a more successful service. In other news, SNN is also actively developing their European subscriber base as we feel there is a strong demand for stocks in Western Europe. Newsletters like SNN are a newer phenomena in Europe and we expect the demographics of the typical Internet user in countries such as Italy, Germany and Switzerland will result in a significant number of upper income investors following our profiles. Companies such as NuOncology Labs and FutureLink, which have their base in the strong and relatively safe US markets, and has the potential to be "home runs" should be of interest to these investors. 3. FutureLink Distribution Corp. - OTC BB Symbol: FLNK Last week the company completed the acquisition of SysGold Ltd., an IT company with over $10 million in billings last year. In addition, Thomson, Kernaghan & Co., a Toronto investment dealer has signed a definitive funding agreement for US$5 million -US$2.25 million of which has already been advanced to the company. See the latest News Releases at: <> We had heard rumblings of this financing and as many of you are aware and had mentioned the possibility of it happening in the last issue of SNN. Now that it is in place and once the overall market stabilizes we believe that FutureLink will start to show some marked price improvement-a 100% gain from these levels are achievable. This company is putting together the team and the financial resources to be a real winner-keep it on watch. 4. NuOncology Labs Inc. - OTC BB Symbol: NLAB There are a number of developments under way which will give the company a much higher profile in the investment community, very soon. We expect a research report will shortly be available that will confirm the importance that the medical and pharmaceutical industry is putting on finding FTI's or ras farnesyl transferase molecules, which inhibit the oncagene function of the RAS gene (cancer). Any drug company involved in the development of Cancer treatments is looking for an FTI and a 7 sided molecule. The testing now being done at NuLab's Houston facility is to confirm NuOncology's patented drug, Arglabin is such an FTI. The results of these tests will be available sometime in September-if the tests confirm what we expect-look for a very positive reaction in the market. Please review the companies latest News Release at: <> We continue to get interest in the company from Europe and have heard that a very powerful Swiss group may become involved. These people have significant funding capabilities and tremendous institutional and retail brokerage contacts. They could also become involved in a European expansion of the predictive oncology testing side of NuLab's business. Keep your eyes open for any Private Placements or funding arrangements with European groups-such a deal would probably signify the Swiss were "on board." The past 2 weeks have shown that in the stock market it is very hard to predict what may happen in the next hour never mind the next year, but we feel very strongly that NuOncology Labs Inc. is poised to move very soon. The month of September will be pivotal and given the relatively small float, good news will have a significant impact on market valuations. Keep NLAB on watch and be ready to move when you see any price or volume spikes. 5. New Subscribers Once again thanks to our many new subscribers over the past two weeks and here's hoping that the stock market is a little less "interesting" and more profitable in the weeks and months ahead. 6.

In setting up a (simple) "print server" I found that there wasn't anything explicit about setting up a "print server", so thought that something along the following might be of value to new "print managers". It would be in a new section that explicitly states "print server" and would (eventually) refer to all of the other pertinent sections. This is rough draft #1. ========================================================================= The function of a "print server" is to collect (input) print requests (jobs), store (enqueue) them somewhere while they are waiting to be printed, send the print jobs to the desired printer, and possibly do data transformations on the print data and/or record information for accounting purposes. Since printers can only print one "job" at a time, multiple requests for printing must be enqueued somewhere: either on the local hosts sending print "jobs" or a "print server". In many cases where a "print server" is established, the server (host) may be given more disk space than a user workstation, or it may have more disk space available for printing use (than a user workstation) since it may not have all of the other applications or data files that a user workstation might have. For a standalone (Unix) host with a directly attached printer - it, itself, is a "print server" since the LPD on that standalone host does the input spooling and output transmission for all print requests. Nothing needs to be done to define or set up the "print server" since it already exists in the local LPD. For a standalone (Unix) host connected to a printer via a network interface on the printer (ie; a "networked printer"), the standalone host may or may not be "the print server". If the "networked printer" has an LPD function with spooling capability, then the "networked printer" may be the "print server". Otherwise, the standalone host will be the "print server" (via its local LDP). For multiple hosts connected via a network where the printer is locally attached to a network host, that network host is oftentimes the "print server", but this is not necessary. Another host could act as the "print server" (performing the input spooling, printer transmission, and any input filtering required), sending the final output to the host with the printer which then sends the data to the printer. The "print host" will spool the data for each print job, but it will normally be for only one print job at a time. For multiple hosts connected via a network where the printer is a "networked printer", either the printer itself will be the "print server" (as mentioned above), or another network host will be the "print server", depending, mostly, upon the capabilities of the printer. In any scenario where the printer itself is a (full fledged) "print server", no other special configuration needs to be be done (see sections .... about defining a "networked printer"). Where a host with an attached printer is the "print server", the same basic rules applly (ie; all "print jobs" are sent to the "print host" which does the spooling, et cetera). In the case where a different network host is to be the "print server", a couple of possible implementations are offered: 1) the "print server" does nothing to the print data other than storing it and forwarding it on to the print host - no input filter is used or required 2) the "print server" needs to do input filter processing/work (ie; data transformation from ASCII to Postscript) before sending the print data to a "networked printer". ============================================================================ Example 1: no input filter on "print server", "print host" with attached printer and a "default" input filter (note that the user workstation could have used a different name for its LOCAL print queue name than what is shown) In this particular instance, the printer is a non-Postscript printer.

There were a lot of work put in by a couple of universities (Melbourne?) in Australia too initially and I think they continued to contribute to the Berkeley code for a long while. The initial portions of the research that led to the internet were funded by the US defense agencies (DARPA et al), but here too it rapidly became an international effort with researchers from all over the world chipping in. > 4 cd's and I would like to know how's the best way and the best place to > buy it, Im in Monterrey Mexico, close to Texas border line!!

It does list on outlet in Texas but it's in Austin and if I remember my geography right Austin is a long way from Monterrey, Mexico. There are several US national chain stores that do carry FreeBSD.

I read the FAQ, Handbook, but nothing helps as I can't do this and that because it is undocumented. Is there Howtos / other docs that i am able to read of ? For me Books saves time, but if you have no money, trial and error is your friend :) But it costs you time !

What you see at www.freebsd.org is what you get. That's all their is. If you want more, you'll have to write it yourself. :) P.S. Net searching can also often turn up other independant docs, though most of them are pretty minimal. Alta Vista and Yahoo are good places to visit. Good luck. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
