ISP Information:
This is similar to RAID 3 in that an extra drive is used to store all parity information. However, data is striped by drive sector instead of by bits or bytes, so that read operations are faster. This RAID type is not often used. - In article , hancock4@bbs.cpcn.com(Lisa Hancock) wrote: Someone explained how VoIP (voice over Internet) isn't paying its share of the costs by the following analogy. Not knowing much about this, I'll leave it others to judge its validity. Imagine two grocery stores, A & B, located across a street from each other. "A" sells soda pop at 50c a can on a shelf. "B" sells chilled soda pop from a refrigerated display case at 75c a can. It was found that customers seeking a chilled soda would buy it from "A" at 50c, then go over and put it in the refrigerator at "B" to cool it. Thus, "B" ended up selling its competitor's product -- and extra expense -- but without the revenue.This seems like a very flawed analogy. First, B could charge for use ofa refrigerator (how many grocery stores really allow people to come inand put random products in the fridge?). Second, chilled soda is avalue-added product, and the value is in time -- you don't have to waitfor the soda to cool down (who wants to buy a can of soda and wait anhour to drink it?). Our telecom director emphasizes that the Internet is NOT free, and VoIP represents an additional expense. Just because the end consumer pays a flat rate (or nothing at all in the case of employees) doesn't mean that a service is free.In what way is VoIP an "additional" expense? If you're callinganother VoIP user, it's just an Internet-based application, and it'sno more additional than HTTP or SMTP is. If you're calling someonewith a POTS phone, you eventually have to go through a gateway run byyour VoIP provider; they have to pay for those phone lines, and theycharge their customers for the privilege of using them. They purchasethese lines in bulk at a flat rate, and can then pass that flat rateon to their customers.Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.eduArlington, MA*** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me ***

Internet cafes, airports andhotel rooms are increasingly filled with vacationers gazing into theirnotebook computers, alongside other travelers who are itching to get alook at their own in-boxes or favorite Web sites.In the past, wired travelers faced stiff challenges in finding placesto easily hook up while on the road. But the days of desperatelyseeking Web connections and packing telephone cords are beginning towind down. Wireless Internet connections are available in anever-growing number of public spaces. And a growing number of laptopsand portable devices are equipped to connect to wireless signalsautomatically.http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/07/travel/07wifi.html

The pitch involves arequest for credit card account numbers, mother's maiden name, and otherpersonal financial information, ostensibly to create a card protectioninsurance policy. The caller does not give an address or any otheridentifying information. NFIC advises never to disclose account numbers orother personal identifying information over the phone, as it can be used tomake fraudulent charges. Credit card protection is not necessary. Allcredit card account holders are protected against theft and loss of theircards, with liability up to a maximum of $50 in most cases.The Federal Trade Commission has also warned consumers not to give outtheir checking account numbers over the phone. Checking account numberscan be used in a transaction called a demand draft. This is a legitimatepayment method in which a draft is made on an account using the accountnumber. The company making the draft states that there has been customerauthorization and that they have this on file. The new Telemarketing SalesRule requires verifiable authorization for this kind of transaction.NEVER give verbal authorization for a draft on your account. ALWAYS askthe salesperson for something to fill out in writing! Fraudulenttelemarketers will ask for your account number under another pretense andthen withdraw money from your account. You may not even know about ituntil your real checks start bouncing. The FTC urges consumers to keepsuch information private. If a telemarketer calls and requests youraccount number, don't give it out. You might find you've given away a lotmore than just your account number.Log on the WebSite at http://www.fraud.org, or call 1-800-876-7060.If you spot obviously illegal operations on the E-Ways, pleaseforward copies of the messages to NFIC at fraudinfo@psinet.com.+=======================================================================+|| The above message is auto-posted at regular intervals as a public |||| service by the BIZynet(tm) international business network.

A removable hard drive casing. There are two parts to the canister: the bay itself, and the casing that goes around the hard drive. These canisters can be used with SCSI or IDE/ATA hard drives, and have the advantage of easy portability of hard drives, especially if you have multiple computers with the same type of bay in them. Integrating a bare hard drive into a removable canister can be an annoying chore, as space is - "David North" wrote in messagenews:2eb94de6.0308260628.49c0f212@posting.google.com... Dear All, I recently purchased a USR/3COM 3cxm756 pcmcia modem, for my Win 2000 (SP4) equiped laptop. The OS auto-installed my old 3com 33.3k modem network card combo fine. Today I tried to install my newly aquired (e-bay!) 3cxm756 modem. I have checked the windows & USR websites both say its win2000 compatible and that the necessary drivers are included in win2000. Upon inserting the card my laptop begins installing it, firstly it recognises it "New Hardware detected 3com 3cxm756 modem etc." (picture of a interface card) then this changed to "standard pcmcia modem" (with a picture of a phone) and its installed as such i.e. its identided as a standard pcmcia modem NOT a 3com modem. When looking at properties under control panel/modem the hardware id is 3com 3cxm756.I'm confused. You say it is not identified as a 3Com modem and then you sayit is.How many modems show under Control Panel/Modems? I tried it briefly and it seems to work fine HOWEVER the network connection icons are showing the port connection speed (115.2 from memory) not the actual initial connection speed. This leads me to think the driver is wrong; I would like to see the inital connection speed not port speed for obvious reasonsIf the modem shows as a 3Comcxm756 in Control Panel/Modems then that will bea choice in DUN. Go to the dialup icon's properties and select the correctone and everything should work.Sometimes Windows installs both the actual model and a "standard modem".It's just a matter of making sure you use the right incarnation...--Hooda Gest"In a New York minute, everything can change..."
