Hi, Since I upgraded to Jag on my 933MHZ Quicksilver, the system will no go into a deep sleep after a period of no activity. The machine will slip into a "light sleep", ie the screen will darken, the disks will spin down but the fan keeps running and the mouse light stays on. I can put...

Hmm, I upgraded to Jag this morning, it appears that Jag breaks the MRJPluginCarbon 1.0. ie Netscape now dies whenever a java applet is run. ( Netscape 6.2.3). Does Mozilla do Java in MacOS X 10.2? I tried IE and that works, abeit slowly... Thanks Jerry

Arggh, OK, I am a fool, the preferences menu under the Edit menu is what I was trying to access. I guess the preferences item under the Netscape menu just is not functional. --Jerry

OK, Following the patch instructions above I compiled and was able to connect to our winterm server, but: the "d" key was dead ie nothing happened and the "q" key printed a "d". I was able to turn on the debug switch and found that the key code for a "q" is a 0x14 and the key...

Greetings, I guess that there are two parts to the question 1) How can I talk to the modem and turn auto answer on/off 2) How can I configure getty to spawn a login session on the modem line ( tty.modem ?) Thanks for any info.... --Jerry

Hi, I got the latest rdesktop software v 1.1.0, it compiled without a hitch. It connects to the server but the server drops the connection before the login box comes up. (MacOS 10.1.3). I compiled the rascal on one of our AIX boxen and it would connect and get the login box but the...

Ok, I have been browsing the /System/Library/Perl directory... It contains a buncho Apache "Stuff". Will installing Perl over the top of the existing Perl wipe out or invalidate the existing Apache module stuff? Don't want to try rebuilding Apache till my feet get used to the water...

Greetings, I have decided to make the jump to OS X, Gotta new 933MHZ on order! ( Status: being built ). I am stepping up from a Mac 7600. I have a low (33kb) connection to the internet so large downloads are not feasible. I want to get X working asap. I ordered the Developer Tools CD...
