This is my Blog on how I have
solved some problems in Linux and Windows to be used in
business or for
pleasure. I do not play any games, so if you are looking for
ideas on how to solve problems with playing games, then you
should look elsewhere. Most of my work is being done on
laptops using Ubuntu/Kubuntu Linux and with hardware such as a Sierra
Aircard
875. Lately, I am using Windows 7.

Watch
out for Criterion Automation of Riverside California. They have delt
unethically with me in my business, by ordering and then not accepting
a custom product. I will have to scrap the whole project, because they
did not bother to call my company and let us know that they purchased
another product. After many man-weeks of work, and custom ordering
cabinets for them, they simply refused shipment. I guess I should have
looked at their web site to see that they have to tell people about
their honesty. It has been my experience, that it you have to tell some
one you are not a liar, you probably are a liar. Same for honesty and
ethics. This has never happened to me in over 30 years of business,
until now.

notes on using the AT&T Mercury USB Connect on Ubuntu 9.04
Just plug it in and click 2 choices and you're on the Internet in 30

then reboot. Let it install the compatibility drivers and
then
restart with the XP install CD.

Digi DC-ME-01T-S module
rebooting problem.
This is some history of a Digi Ethernet to serial bridge rebooting
problem.
Running DOS
programs with serial ports under Windows XP
Run the application under "Compatibility mode" using an earlier Windows
version.
Use USB 1.1 USB to serial adapters: available from BestLinkNetware.
Don't use Belkin.
ATT
connect speed isn't nearly as fast as they advertise. It takes longer
to start and connect the Mercury Aircard to the ATT network than
anything else. I would guess it takes several minutes to start the
aircard manager, detect the aircard, and then get ready to connect. The
commercials are a far stretch from reality and ATT should be made to
remove the ads or to make it work as they show.
Using Linux, it
is almost as fast as ATT shows on the TV ads. Plug in the card, make
one click and
you're on the air in about 10 seconds using Ubuntu 9.04.
