I was looking around for plug-ins for the Communicator browser and wondered 
about RealAudio.  When I went to the Realaudio site and found the downloads for 
Linux, I was given the choice to get a.out or ELF binaries???  What is a.out 
and what is ELF?  Do I need to compile these or are they pre-compiled?  Just a 
wild guess, but does a.out have anything to do with assembly language?

Next Q: How do I tell how much HD space is left/used in bash?  can it be done 
with 'dir' or 'ls'?  I have created an alias for ls that adds the following 
options: -lsa --color.  Would I need to add an extra option for HD space?

Last Q:  When I connect to my ISP using 'ifup ppp0' or by activating the ppp0 
interface from the Control Panel in X, I don't get any info about the 
connection.  Is there any way to find out what IP address my ISP assigned me 
for this connection?  Also, is there anyway to verify my connection speed?  I 
have a K56 Flex modem that usually gives me 46K connections.  do I need to use 
any utilities for this?

Thanks

PS-All the help I get from this list has been great.  Hopefully some day I will 
be able to return the favors.
