Issue 3 can be handled if you remember to run script and then do your 
complex ftp command and exit out of both at the end.  All you need do then 
is to edit the file script makes for you and turn it into a short shell 
script and make it useable.  I use the name surf for my scripts when I 
need to do this so a command line interface can work easily enough with a 
little forethought and planning..  You can also run wget with the -b 
switch and have it download in the background and tail the .wget-log file 
every so often to check on progress.

Instant messaging on a home network?  Try a low-tech holler:

        "SOOOOEEE!  TURN ON THE MODEM!"


When my wife wants me when I'm downstairs, she knocks on the floor.



Or she tells our dog George: "go get Doug".



Talk?  I think there are X talk clients if you don't want to keep an
xterm open.



If its just a single message: good old write.


Do you need more help?X

Doug.

I'm running Lenny on a laptop, usually connected to various wireless
routers. I recently noticed that firestarter wasn't actually starting
automatically, something to do with the network not being up when I
boot, and I don't always remember to turn it on after I connect to the
wireless router. Also, even when I am running firestarter I have to
turn it off in order to access my university via vpn.



I've pasted the results of all the tests you suggested below. I don't
understand much, but the md5sum mis-match for the rkhunter files is
definitely worrying. Am I going to have to re-install?



Thanks,



Tyler

Some Jabber clients (on linux, gajim and maybe pidgin) also support
link local (serverless) messaging. I have never used it so I can't say
more than that.

Its an external Courier.  I meant push the button to turn it on.  It was
only a humourous comment; my wife would kill me if I addressed her as
SOOOOEE like I was calling in a cow; my wife wouldn't know what a modem
looks like.



To get the modem to connect, I ssh to that box and type:

	$pon courier
	$bwm-ng

and leave this VC 1 open.  VC 2 is ssh'd to the box and either mutt or
	$watch -n 20 "from -c"


VC 3 is for net-related curses stuff (currently a wget session).
VC 4 is where I type startx when I need to.



There was a time when I had Ctrl-Alt-UP set in inittab to open a new vt.



Doug.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Ah.  In other words, "Your comment contains negative information
value, so I'm going for a walk."  :-)

I had similar problems recently, but I don't know if it is the same
as what you have.  I finally tracked it down to udftools causing the
problem, so I just do a '/etc/init.d/udftools stop'.  That works for
default CD/DVD work, but I have to re-enable it for DVD+RW/CD-RW.  If
you don't have udftools then this obviously won't help.

I'm afraid I don't have udftools installed, but thanks for trying.

It's even worse than that.  SOOOOEE is how you call a pig.

I didn't either, until someone pointed one (a 300 baud acoustic
coupler, in fact) out to me, and said, "That's a modem."

Hi Jesus,
You can try KSalup
KSalup supports two protocols :

     Communication with a computer running Winpopup or using the
 NetBios protocol over TCP sending and receiving messages through Samba.

     Communication with computers on a local subnet, using the
 Netbios protocol over UDP, compatible with almost all of the current
softwares
 (Kurupop, Pipo p, Salup, Windows NT, ...)
Cheers,
Jonathan

Nitpick: maildir and mbox are just mail storages. I am using maildir=20
just fine with postfix -> maildrop -> Maildir (AFAIK postfix can also=20
deliver directly to Maildir and exim probably too).
