You can see a large version of it at http://aries.ibms.sinica.edu.tw/ . It's a 1549x598 JPEG on a white background. I printed it out at 150 lpi on a 600 dpi HP and it looks pretty nice, even in greyscale.

Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.22 Sender: chat-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello Friends @ FreeBSD: It's me again! As you know, you solved my password problem and here am I again with more trouble! We have a 2-server system down here (one FreeBSD the other Novell NetWare 3.12). All clients on the ethernet LAN are able to attach to and log into the Novell server and use and run any applications without problem. Now, we installed Mercury SMTP on top of the Novell, and this also works fine--any mail sent from a client is properly recognized by Mercury and local ones are successfully delivered locally, but when Mercury tries to transmit non-local mail to the Unix box, it reports: "Error connecting to 192.42.99.2 (the FreeBSD box's assigned IP address). failed" and is just unable to link to the FreeBSD box. It might interest you to also note that neither of these servers is able to PING the other. However, as expected, each of these servers is able to ping itself. Now, in trying to isolate the problem we did the following: we installed a netware client on the DOS partition of the FreeBSD box and have been able to attach and log into the Novell box without problem. This assured us that, at least, the ethernet card is in good shape (ie. it works), and that it is not a hardware connectivity problem. The physical link looks OK. So, more and more, our analysis is leading us to think that we have not properly configured FreeBSD to recognize the network interface card that we are using and, the truth infact is that, we don't really know where and _how_ in FreeBSD to do it! Here are some statistics about our setup and some messages during booting: - EZ-2000 is the NIC we're using - But during FreeBSD boot, a line says something like "NE2000 (16- bit) card..." is what the kernel has been configured to use. - "ed1: device timeout" displays in BOLD during/after starting the daemons - when after booting, we try to ping the novell box, this same "ed1: device timeout" message displays 3 times as follows: Aug 13 17:04:19 aau /kernel: ed1: device timeout .... .... before the system continually reporting "Host is down: ..." when in actual fact it (ie. the Novell server) isn't. A ping from the Novell server also shows that no data is received from the FreeBSD box. In otherwords, it is not recognizing or seeing the FreeBSD box. We are assured, however, that TCP/IP has been properly set up on the Novell box--mercury doesn't complain about inet_addr and other such stuff. Following are some configuration info. on our FreeBSD server: /etc/hosts ========== 127.0.0.1 localhost aau aau.org 192.42.99.2 aau aau.org # (the FreeBSD box) 192.42.99.1 campus_1 campus_1.aau.org # (the Novell box) /etc/sysconfig ============== hostname=aau.org network_interfaces="lo0 ed1" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.42.99.2 netmask 0xffffff00" Well, dear friends, here we are again for another problem.

Boot under DOS, and run the utility provided with the NIC, and do a "view settings" or whatever. Check the IRQ. Oh, is it 3? Set it to 5. Reboot FreeBSD. Ohhhh it works. Question for the FreeBSD team... it is said somewhere that the soft config was taken out from the driver because there where conflicts in some cases... But could the driver not at least check that the settings on the board match those in the kernel, and if they don't, say so [and eventually say what to do]?
