On the subject of freakish telecom shtuff..

by carolln＠nctc.com

Do you have any pictures of this telecompaq? I have a chance to buy one and was wondering what it looked like. What is it, 286, 386, 8088 or something else? Thanks for any help! Nathan

Use of the tar command (in classic unix systems of course (^; )

by rhudson＠cnonline.net

Ok, Here's what I am doing for backup to DC tape drive.. ~500 mb per tape: tar -cvf /dev/st0 -L 500000 /root /etc (... mention many directories) is this correct for backup or do I need any other flags? How do I do an incremental? (This is assuming that I am using a "Classic" system running unix...) How do I recover a file? Thanks.

I've only seen one brand of Cat5e with pairs bonded. Almost all the Cat5e I've worked with is very easy to untwist.

There are three standards for that, TIA 568A, TIA 568B, and USOC. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

DEC BC09J cable

Not quite. It's white-with-colour then plain colour (or colour with a thin white stripe or rings), and the common order in Europe is T568B (aka 258A): white/orange pin 1 orange white/green blue white/blue green white/brown brown pin 8 I believe the common order in the States is to swap orange and green pairs, which is T568A. If you use one scheme at one end and the other scheme at the opposite end, you have a standard Ethernet crossover cable. ie, pins 1 and 2 are swapped with pins 3 and 6 but pins 4+5 and 7+8 are straight-through. > But for a regular CAT5 cable, as long as you use the same order for each > end, it'll work fine. Almost. You need to keep the pairs as pairs, on pins 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Multiple floppies in one system?

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

Commands such as FORMAT, DISKCOPY and DISKCOMP ignore drive reassignments. Perhaps the MS install program did something similar to these commands.

OT: ClassicOffice Chairs

by dhquebbeman＠theestopinalgroup.com

Does anyone have a line on old office chairs with FOUR legs instead of the fscking OSHA-mandated FIVE legs? It is impossible to roll around in one of these without, when you roll back forward, having a single leg protruding such that it hits *anything* that might be in the way, like a table leg... grrr...
