Slightly OT - USB serial controllers that work in Linux?

by sampsa＠mac.com

So I'm toying with the idea of putting a Raspberry Pi + LCD screen + keyboard into an old Intertec (?) SuperBrain case, for use as a beefed up terminal (basically have it boot Linux, run SIMH and load VMS or something). Any of you guys got a recommendation as to what USB-serial adapter works best in Linux? sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +358 40 7208932

Phase V specs

by Paul_Koning＠Dell.com

"ps2pdf" was suggested -- it works. So the answer is that some of them can be converted with Distiller (which seems to be the best answer when it works) and the rest with ps2pdf. See below for the details. paul On Sep 9, 2013, at 3:48 PM, Paul Koning <Paul_Koning at dell.com> wrote: Thanks for the suggestion. The answer is yes, that works fine. Adobe Distiller handled these: entity_model_v1.0.0.pdf ethernet-registry-internal.pdf event_v1.0.0_cover.pdf lan_node_external_v2.0.2.pdf lan_node_v2.0.2.pdf mop-registry-internal.pdf mop_v4.0.0.pdf ncl_v1.0.0.pdf netman_v5.0.0.pdf time_v1.0.0.pdf trn_dlspec_v100.pdf I just tried uid_v1.0.0.ps with ps2pdf and that produces good output. I then tried the remaining ones, and from a quick look I'd say they are all good. paul

Phase V specs

Can you send me the filename of one that doesn't convert properly? -Dave On 09/09/2013 03:23 PM, Paul_Koning at Dell.com wrote: I have a copy. I'll forward this to Al. BTW, I spoke too soon when I said they convert fine to PDF. About half do. The other half produce blank pages. The reason appears to be that Distiller can't cope with LaTeX output that uses bitmap fonts, which a number of those specs use. paul On Sep 9, 2013, at 3:15 PM, Jarratt RMA <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com<mailto:robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com>> wrote: That is really interesting, I will download the lot when I get home at the end of the week.

Can I please have info on the peering for IP and any other config details that may help. I will be using a DECbrouter 90 (Cisco) V11.1. So, anyone know if the DECrouter will do, and who would be willing to act as a peer? Johnny V11.1 supports GRE, Decnet IV Level 1 and 2 so I am hoping so. :-) Brian can get you hooked up with his automatic meshed-tunnel config generator, when he catches up on list mail. Things have been very busy, but I will try to get this dealt with this week. I'm actually moving everything to a new colo box so this will coincide with everyone needing to change the IP they allow SNMP to come from. Mark, as soon as I've moved everything I'll let you know what you need to do. -brian
