The EtherPower is the PCI card, the EtherEZ is a 16-bit ISA card. We use
both with Linux and they work fine. One note, however, the PCI

They use a bit more locked-down RAM in the kernel than non-modular
drivers, however not generally a significant amount. Execution speed
should not be different. The thing you might be noticing is the delay

After a number of very pleasant folks indicated that my sample
input produced correct results on their system, I re-installed all
of the TeX stuff and it has started working. I don't recall seeing
any problems with the first install, but the second one did it.
Thanks to all who responded. What

You can search the Debian site at:

This does not include the archives, though.

Hi,
I tried the following with two Linux systems:
> od -s /lib/libc.so.5.2.18 | grep nano
> od -s /lib/libc.so.5.3.12 | grep nano
0152072 __libc_nanosleep
0152113 __nanosleep
0152127 nanosleep
2475401 __libc_nanosleep
2505602 nanosleep
2512322 __nanosleep
So it looks like that at least libc 5.3.
Hi guys,
Which SMC PCI card is the one mostly used? (Is it the tulip model?) Which
model SMC, Etherpower, EtherEZ?
Thanks

Hello,
As other people have already answered to the Gnus problem, I would like to
give you some pointers to the Gnus-related documentation.
The Gnus home page is http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/ding.html and the Gnus FAQ
can be found from http://www.miranova.com/~steve/gnus-faq.html. The FAQ can
