Intel Mac mini as a faxserver with more then one USB-Modems?

Hi there,
does anybody have a clue if this idea will work?
We plan to buy a Intel Mac mini and someone had the idea to use it additionally as a faxserver - BUT, we'll need more the one fax-line. So, I wonder if it is possible to buy 3 or even 4 external USB-Modem from Apple to use all of them.
Does anyone tried this before?
Any comments are welcome!
Thanks in advance, Chris.
Mac mini Core Duo, 2GB, 120GB Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hello Chris,
incl. a four line fax-card. Why isn't it a good
choice?
From my experience the Mac's make a terrible fax machine.
I have tried receiving faxes with a 1.8 GHz iMac G5 (with built-in modem), a 2.0 GHz iMac G5 (with built-in modem), and my 1.25 GHz Mac Mini (with built-in modem).
In every single case, and experiment, they dropped the fax after the first page.
So, that means that I've gone round and round trying to get beyond the first page received without trouble.
I do have a real fax machine, and never have any trouble receiving faxes on the same line with it. So, I only use the computer as a fax when I want to only receive the first page (for example the many local doctors who send me their customers private details).
In the case of the doctors, my phone rings frequently with customer's private details. All I want is the first page so I can call the doctor and tell them to quit sending me faxes.
They will send, send, and re-send until a fax machine answers. It keeps the phone busy all day if I don't receive the fax.
But, it costs money to receive the 30-page faxes just to stop the phone ringing. So, I let the computer capture the first page, and then call them and demand that they quit calling me (which works for a couple of days).
You wouldn't believe the information they have sent me. And, with an older doner-film fax, a 30-page document is mighty expensive.
What really gets me, is when they had the nerve to request me to invest even more money and pay to mail the fax back to them. I tell them their free to drive here and get it, otherwise, it's going in the garbage.
I can tell you from experience, that your medical records are not safe with a doctor. They just assume they are dialing the right number, and will send your entire personal history (and even family history - I've received generations of information) to just about anyone with a fax machine.
Anyway, now that I explained how I use mine, I hope you can better understand why a real fax machine is going to serve you better.
The tolerance of a real fax machine will prevent you from constantly trying to receive the same fax over and over and over again.

Hi,
Check the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth setting.
iChat needs to see a Minimum of 128kbps to do 1-1 chats in Video
For 3 and 4 way chats it needs 384kbps
Set the Bandwidth to 500kbps if it is set lower.
Also check the speed you are getting from your Internet supplier.

How can I talk with more then one person at a time? With Faxe time? Is thier software needed to do this or can it be done with the basic package?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Transformations with more then one source data structure?

Hi,
is there a best practice to include more then one data source (e.g. DSO, InfoSource, ...) in a transformation?
My approach was to merge the needed sources by creating an InfoSet. Afterwords I took this InfoSet as source for the transformation.
Is this the recommended approach? Are there alternatives to this approach? Pros and cons?
Regards,
Axel

Hi,
as I unterstood a virtual characteristic is computed when you query the data. In our case we'd also like to export the data via open hub instead of only querying it, so the value would stay empty. Is this correct? Works a virtual characteristic with a third party analysis tool like Cognos?
So implementing a custom extractor in R/3 would be the recommendation?
Currently I've implemented the scenario via left outer joins in the InfoSet with an additional abap routine in the transformation to determine the right material number. The big downside of this approach is probably bad performance with big tables, that delta extraction isn't possible from an InfoSet and more data as needed for reporting has to be loaded (lookup tables). Right? The only upside I can see with this solution is that after joining the tables only a few if statements are needed in the ABAP-Routine to do the job.

Linking One table with more then one tablespace

Hi,
Can anybody help to link one table to more then one tablespace?
Thanks in advance.

If the table is not partitionned you cannot store a table in different tablespaces. If the table is partitionned you can store each partition in a different tablespace. Example from 10.2 Data Warehousing Guide:
CREATE TABLE sales_composite
(salesman_id NUMBER(5),
salesman_name VARCHAR2(30),
sales_amount NUMBER(10),
sales_date DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE(sales_date)
SUBPARTITION BY HASH(salesman_id)
SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE(
SUBPARTITION sp1 TABLESPACE ts1,
SUBPARTITION sp2 TABLESPACE ts2,
SUBPARTITION sp3 TABLESPACE ts3,
SUBPARTITION sp4 TABLESPACE ts4)
(PARTITION sales_jan2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('02/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY'))
PARTITION sales_feb2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('03/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY'))
PARTITION sales_mar2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('04/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY'))
PARTITION sales_apr2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('05/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY'))
PARTITION sales_may2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('06/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY')));Edited by: P. Forstmann on 13 févr. 2010 09:08

Kernel Panics with more then one iPhone or iPod plugged into your mac?

I recently bought a new iPhone, and noticed problems when trying to charge the batteries on each, when plugged into the same machine. I would get mount errors, and the mac (both on my desktop and laptop) would crash, needing restart.
In my case, the fix was simple - both devices plugged into the same USB hub will interfere with each other (duh!) and cause problems.
Sooo, make sure you've got them plugged into DIFFERENT USB slots on your mac, and all should be fine.

This seems to be a fairly common issue and not just related to charging, although particularly with 'Windows' PCs where users who seldom appear to know with certainty if their USB ports are USB1.x or USB2.0 - the difference being significant (it appears), particularly for the iPhone.
You're right about using different hubs and port-sets to spread the overall USB load anyway, but even one iPhone on an early USB1.0 (even if not shared with other ports) cannot be expected to display the same characteristics is on USB2.0, either in terms of loading or in terms of throughput.
See how many XP users complain about timing-out when trying to do updates as one example of 'likely' problems of users not checking the details of the (USB) technology before starting out....

Using remote with more then one computer.

Can i use remote with different computers? It works fine on mine but if i try to use it with another computer in the house it doesn't show up in itunes.

If you want to connect and use an iPod (other than a shuffle) on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. "Don't" uncheck Sync Music in the Music tab, it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting, if you uncheck it without setting the iPod to manual first you'll erase all the songs from your iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

How can I use the N8 with more then one VOIP-Accou...

Hello,
on my older Nokia-phones (N82 and E52) there wasn't a problem to use more then 2 different VOIP-Accounts. Now I have successfully create one VOIP-Account on my N8. The target should be to create an another (different) VOIP-Account and switch to this, if it's necessary. The second VOIP-Account should be a backup-solution ;-)
Thanks

OK, so did you try creating a second VOIP account on the N8? What steps did you try, and what were the results? If you post specific details, you will get better answers.

How do you use Time Machine with more then one mac

I just bought a new external hard drive and want to back up my iMac & MacBook Pro using Time Machine. But I do not want to use my airport network.
I will keep the hard drive connected to the iMac, but want to, as needed, plug my MacBook Pro into the Hard drive to back up.
Is this possible? Do I have first partition the new backup hard drive?
Any help is appreciated... Jim

Ok... I am back again.
I decided to plug my backup drive into the USB port on the Airport extreme.
On my Macbook Pro, which I connect wirelessly, I was able to start Time Machine... Time Machine saw the backup drive and did a backup.. Yes it took a long time Anyway all is cool with that.
My iMac is connected to the Airport Extreme by Ethernet. On the iMac when I started Time Machine, it does not see the backup hard drive. I can see and share the hard drive... works fine. But no luck with TM seeing the hard drive on the iMac.
Questions is will Time Machine work with a computer that is connected to airport extreme by ethernet. If yes how o you set it up and what might be wrong??
I might mention that the reason I have the iMac connected with an ethernet cable and not wirelessly is because the iMac does not stay connected well to the internet and when it is connected has a very slow connection. My MacBook Pro is all the way across the house and has a great connection.
I have guessed the slow connection was because the Airport Extreme sits right next to the iMac and maybe there is some kind of interference.
Thanks.... any help is appreciated.

Youtube fullscreen video playback does not respond with more then one tab open.

Right, so i've got a dual monitor set-up, and I've found that if I have two or more tabs with youtube videos paused, and I start one in full screen, then click my second monitor, the flash plugin essentially crashes. the video still plays apparently, or at least the sound does, but I cannot click anything, trying to change tabs or do anything on my secondary monitor does nothing other then grey it out saying that it's not responding. Same with my primary monitor if I try to alt+tab out of the flash player fullscreen thing. I have found that ending the flash player process imediately gives me control back, since it's forcing the fullscreen to shut down, but if i do not do this, then I have no access to my browser for several minutes.
Does anyone know what i need to do to fix this? I've trying turning off hardware acceleration and the various commonly suggested fixes, and they don't do shit. So please, help me figure this out. if you need more information, I can provide it.

I should mention that I have this problem in safe-mode as well. all addons are dissables, and I still have this problem. I've already tried re-installing adobe flash, and still nothing changes.

How to implement a static field with more then one value?

Hello! I'm a novice at swing programming. Please help me to implement a static list like this:
Field_1: Value;
Field_2: Value_1;
Value_2;
Value_3;
Field_3: Value;
Field_4: Value;
Values for each field can be added dynamicly. I used for field and value a JLabel component. I have no idea how to move down the bottom string (Field_3) when add a value to Field_2 :(
How is better to implement this list? thanks for all responses!

Intel Mac Mini Core Solo - Kernel Panic on Boot

I was wondering if anyone who has purchased the Intel Mac Mini is having issues with Kernel Panics during the booting sequence?
I got a Core Solo from the local Apple store (couldn't wait to play, I'm waiting on the Core Duo I ordered online to come still ). The first thing I did was fire it up check it out for a few minutes, then I put the install disc in and reinstalled a clean OS, with less options because I'm planning on hooking it up to my TV so I don't need space hogs like Garageband etc on my TV computer. I got the updates that popped up, then shutdown the computer. I took it out to the living room and hooked it up to the tv and I got a black message about needing to restart (a kernel panic) right when the blue progress loading bar comes up on boot. I spent a while with it trying to figure out what was wrong, ran the Apple Hardware Test, booted it fine in Safe Boot. Finally I got tired of it and reinstalled the OS again.
It was fine for a day, working fine out on the tv. I brought it back in my room to play with a few things like Darwine, etc. Shut it down, came back an hour or so later booted it up and got the kernel panic on boot. Safe boot still worked fine. I spent some time trying to look for panic logs but didn't see any. I ran the disk utility and did a Full erase and it worked fine. I reinstalled the OS again. Ran MemTestOSX and it worked fine. I left it running the Apple Hardware Test for about 6 hours or more, and it performed perfectly.
This morning it still seemed ok, except sometimes on a cold boot when the blue progress bar screen should come on... my monitor just shows black and the light on the monitor goes inactive. So, I press the button on the back to sleep it, then bring it out of sleep with the keyboard and the OS is sitting there booted.
It seems like a weird combination of software and hardware problems, but maybe it's all hardware problems. I can't get past Safe Boot working when the OS stops loading. Right now the computer is working fine.
I'm waiting for my Core Duo to come in the mail and verify that it works flawlessly, then I'll take the Solo to the store and ask them to look at it.
Anyone have any similar experiences so far?

It seems like the mini is doing alright so far. I think maybe the full erase solved whatever issue it was having. I also got my Core Duo Mini yesterday in the mail and it's performing like a champ. Definitely a nice machine.
I'll close my question for now, since the Core Solo Mini seems alright. But, as a warning don't get on Front Row's bad side. I tried force quitting it because it was taking too long to load the videos folder and then tried shutting down from a terminal and ended up having to turn the machine off.

Thinking about switching to Intel Mac Mini... questions for the cognoscenti

Greetings:
I've been checking out the new Intel Mac Minis and I was thinking of purchasing one to replace my AV computer (PC) in the living room, which the GF currently uses. She's a typical user: watches video files/DVDs, uses iTunes excessively , sends web email and surfs the Net.
I've fairly decided on an Intel Core Duo Mini. Since I know the basics about Mac, I had a few questions:
1. What's an appropriate amount of RAM for a non-power user? Would 1 GB be more than enough or overkill? I'm used to running 1GB in a Windows machine. Plus, I'm also used to popping in memory when I needed to upgrade, and I see that's not really an option on the Mini.
2. How would I integrate it into a Windows network? Would the Mini be able to share files with a Windows machine and vice versa?
3. Regarding network integration: how easily would the Mini integrate into an existing Linksys 802.11g home network?
Lastly, this isn't really an (easily) answerable question, but how easy do you think it would be for an average computer user to get up and running on a Mac after having used Windows machines all their life?
Thanks, I look forward to your responses.

Homebuilt Windows XP Pro 2GB PC 3500 RAM, 500GB SATA RAID (2x250), ATI AIW 9700 Pro, Athlon XP3200

Hello, I can only really answer Q's 1 & 3 as I've only owned a mini for the past 24 hours.
I purchased the Single Core after taking advice of the Apple Store staff in Manchester, they were quite helpful. I only really produce music (have used Ableton, Acid Pro etc on PC for quite a while), surf the web, do my banking etc so was advised that the Single Core with 512mb would be sufficent. I work for an ISP and have 10 years plus knowledge of Windows but I was prepared to listen and learn having never used a mac before. From my own experience, I'm used to having to use a pc with minimum spec ie min 1.2GHz processor, 1gb ram in order to produce music without any pops or clicks (latency), though sound cards also play a part. I've also had to keep internet activity well away from any PC that I produce music on in that respect. Anyhow, I'm going off on a tangent here but I was playing around with garageband last night and I've never known music production to run so smoothy on 512mb RAM, never known it before so was extremely impressed and certain I made the right purchase opting for Solo Core. You may not actually NEED the full 1gb though this depends what you're doing. To answer your other question, my mac slotted straight into my home nertwork without making any additional configuration.
i.e how long does it take to get used to a mac, I've found there is a learning curve but it's not THAT difficult, it's just the odd thing such as no right click of the mouse that takes some getting used to.
