Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel Sept. 29, 2018

Sept. 29, 2018

Hi, Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky all the time, esp when it rains. So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter. I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet another set top box to have to deal with... So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service? Thanks, John

AIX 5.3 Question
by vze284qe＠verizon.net Aug. 12, 2008

Aug. 12, 2008

Hello, At work, I have an RS6000 running AIX 5.3. The on-board NIC controller failed. I installed a dual-port Intel Pro 10/100/1000 NIC card. When I start the server, the Intel card isn't recognized. SMIT doesn't see it either. What do I have to do in SMIT so that I can use the card? Thanks, -- -Chuck

Re: [Wlug] donations

the request came to me via a friend: Hello hello, I'm looking for working PCs that are no longer needed by their owners. We have many students that could benefit from the hands on learning that can only be made available through private donations. As one of three instructors here at the Shriver Job Corps Center , I would personally see to all systems being cleaned of private information by wiping all internal hard drives using DOD, (Department Of Defense), Standards. Each operating PC would then be entered into our training program for our students as a break/fix computer. If you know of anyone who may be interested in participating for the sake of our students, please pass along this note. Although all donations will be greatly appreciated it would not be a tax write-off but you will be able to sleep better knowing that you have helped aspiring technicians learn a trade and become active working participants in this great country of ours. Anyone having questions, please don't hesitate to call or email me. I hope you are having a great summer. Thank You, Ted Ted E.
