Using echo and cat

Hello,
I am trying to test an external speech synthesizer on my laptop, a MacBook pro running os 10.6 snow leopard. I have a question regarding the echo and cat commands. I wondered if I have to set something up in order to use cat or echo with my doubletalk speech synthesizer. I have my speech synthesizer hooked up to a USB to serial adaptor and my adaptor plugged into a USB port on my laptop. I have tested my synthesizer with a terminal emulator called Kermit. And everything seems to work i.e. my synthesizer produced output, so I believe my synthesizer, my USB to serial adaptor and it's driver, are all working. My question is if I want to use the cat or echo command to send data to my synthesizer do I have to set anything up? Like the speed my synthesizer needs is 9600 baud, would I have to set up my computer in terminal to have a 9600 baud speed? Speed by the way is just an example, I believe the speed is correct. btw I know about VoiceOver.

Have you checked in with the app 'Audio MIDI Setup' to see if perhaps anything there applies. Located in the Utilities folder btw.
Sounds interesting and good luck in any case.

Using iweb and js-kit echo comments without lots of blank spacebelowcomment

I am using iweb and js-kit echo for comments. When I use this I need to extend the page in order for comments to show up on the page. Before the comments are there the space is blank. How do I get the page to lengthen each time a comment is left.

The HTML snippet has a fixed width and height of 635x1681 (in your case).
Just as iWeb pages have a fixed width and height.

System encryption using LUKS and GPG encrypted keys for arch linux

Update: As of 2012-03-28, arch changed from gnupg 1.4 to 2.x which uses pinentry for the password dialog. The "etwo" hook described here doesn't work with gnupg 2. Either use the openssl hook below or use a statically compiled version of gnupg 1.4.
Update: As of 2012-12-19, the mkinitcpio is not called during boot, unless the "install" file for the hook contains "add_runscript". This resulted in an unbootable system for me. Also, the method name was changed from install () to build ().
Update: 2013-01-13: Updated the hook files using the corrections by Deth.
Note: This guide is a bit dated now, in particular the arch installation might be different now. But essentially, the approach stays the same. Please also take a look at the posts further down, specifically the alternative hooks that use openssl.
I always wanted to set up a fully encrypted arch linux server that uses gpg encrypted keyfiles on an external usb stick and luks for root filesystem encryption. I already did it once in gentoo using this guide. For arch, I had to play alot with initcpio hooks and after one day of experimentation, I finally got it working. I wrote a little guide for myself which I'm going to share here for anyone that might be interested. There might be better or easier ways, like I said this is just how I did it. I hope it might help someone else. Constructive feedback is always welcome
Intro
Using arch linux mkinitcpio's encrypt hook, one can easily use encrypted root partitions with LUKS. It's also possible to use key files stored on an external drive, like an usb stick. However, if someone steals your usb stick, he can just copy the key and potentially access the system. I wanted to have a little extra security by additionally encrypting the key file with gpg using a symmetric cipher and a passphrase.
Since the encrypt hook doesn't support this scenario, I created a modifed hook called “etwo” (silly name I know, it was the first thing that came to my mind). It will simply look if the key file has the extension .gpg and, if yes, use gpg to decrypt it, then pipe the result into cryptsetup.
Conventions
In this short guide, I use the following disk/partition names:
/dev/sda: is the hard disk that will contain an encrypted swap (/dev/sda1), /var (/dev/sda2) and root (/dev/sda3) partition.
/dev/sdb is the usb stick that will contain the gpg encrypted luks keys, the kernel and grub. It will have one partition /dev/sdb1 formatted with ext2.
/dev/mapper/root, /dev/mapper/swap and /dev/mapper/var will be the encrypted devices.

Guide
1. Boot the arch live cd
I had to use a newer testing version, because the 2010.05 cd came with a broken gpg. You can download one here: http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/. I chose the “core“ version. Go ahead and boot the live cd, but don't start the setup yet.
2. Set keymap
Use km to set your keymap. This is important for non-qwerty keyboards to avoid suprises with passphrases...
3. Wipe your discs
ATTENTION: this will DELETE everything on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb forever! Do not blame me for any lost data!
Before encrypting the hard disc, it has to be completely wiped and overwritten with random data. I used shred for this. Others use badblocks or dd with /dev/urandom. Either way, this will take a long time, depending on the size of your disc. I also wiped my usb stick just to be sure.
shred -v /dev/sda
shred -v /dev/sdb
4. Partitioning
Fire up fdisk and create the following partitions:
/dev/sda1, type linux swap.
/dev/sda2: type linux
/dev/sda3: type linux
/dev/sdb1, type linux
Of course you can choose a different layout, this is just how I did it. Keep in mind that only the root filesystem will be decrypted by the initcpio. The rest will be decypted during normal init boot using /etc/crypttab, the keys being somewhere on the root filesystem.
5. Format and mount the usb stick
Create an ext2 filesystem on /dev/sdb1:
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
mkdir /root/usb
mount /dev/sdb1 /root/usb
cd /root/usb # this will be our working directory for now.
Do not mount anything to /mnt, because the arch installer will use that directory later to mount the encrypted root filesystem.
6. Configure the network (if not already done automatically)
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf
(this is just an example, your mileage may vary)
7. Install gnupg
pacman -Sy
pacman -S gnupg
Verify that gnupg works by launching gpg.
8. Create the keys
Just to be sure, make sure swap is off:
cat /proc/swaps
should return no entries.
Create gpg encrypted keys (remember, we're still in our working dir /root/usb):
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=512 count=4 | gpg -v --cipher-algo aes256 --digest-algo sha512 -c -a > root.gpg
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=512 count=4 | gpg -v --cipher-algo aes256 --digest-algo sha512 -c -a > var.gpg
Choose a strong password!!
Don't do this in two steps, e.g don't do dd to a file and then gpg on that file. The key should never be stored in plain text on an unencrypted device, except if that device is wiped on system restart (ramfs)!
Note that the default cipher for gpg is cast5, I just chose to use a different one.
9. Create the encrypted devices with cryptsetup
Create encrypted swap:
cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool -d /dev/urandom create swap /dev/sda1
You should see /dev/mapper/swap now. Don't format nor turn it on for now. This will be done by the arch installer.
Important: From the Cryptsetup 1.1.2 Release notes:
Cryptsetup can accept passphrase on stdin (standard input). Handling of new line (\n) character is defined by input specification:
if keyfile is specified as "-" (using --key-file=- or by positional argument in luksFormat and luksAddKey, like cat file | cryptsetup --key-file=- <action> ), input is processed
as normal binary file and no new line is interpreted.
if there is no key file specification (with default input from stdin pipe like echo passphrase | cryptsetup <action> ) input is processed as input from terminal, reading will
stop after new line is detected.
If I understand this correctly, since the randomly generated key can contain a newline early on, piping the key into cryptsetup without specifying --key-file=- could result in a big part of the key to be ignored by cryptsetup. Example: if the random key was "foo\nandsomemorebaratheendofthekey", piping it directly into cryptsetup without --key-file=- would result in cryptsetup using only "foo" as key which would have big security implications. We should therefor ALWAYS pipe the key into cryptsetup using --key-file=- which ignores newlines.
gpg -q -d root.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v -–key-file=- -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool luksFormat /dev/sda3
gpg -q -d var.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v –-key-file=- -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool -v luksFormat /dev/sda2
Check for any errors.
10. Open the luks devices
gpg -d root.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v –-key-file=- luksOpen /dev/sda3 root
gpg -d var.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v –-key-file=- luksOpen /dev/sda2 var
If you see /dev/mapper/root and /dev/mapper/var now, everything is ok.
11. Start the installer /arch/setup
Follow steps 1 to 3.
At step 4 (Prepare hard drive(s), select “3 – Manually Configure block devices, filesystems and mountpoints. Choose /dev/sdb1 (the usb stick) as /boot, /dev/mapper/swap for swap, /dev/mapper/root for / and /dev/mapper/var for /var.
Format all drives (choose “yes” when asked “do you want to have this filesystem (re)created”) EXCEPT for /dev/sdb1, choose “no”. Choose the correct filesystem for /dev/sdb1, ext2 in my case. Use swap for /dev/mapper/swap. For the rest, I chose ext4.
Select DONE to start formatting.
At step 5 (Select packages), select grub as boot loader. Select the base group. Add mkinitcpio.
Start step 6 (Install packages).
Go to step 7 (Configure System).
By sure to set the correct KEYMAP, LOCALE and TIMEZONE in /etc/rc.conf.
Edit /etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/root / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/mapper/swap swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/var /var ext4 defaults 0 1
# /dev/sdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
Configure the rest normally. When you're done, setup will launch mkinitcpio. We'll manually launch this again later.
Go to step 8 (install boot loader).
Be sure to change the kernel line in menu.lst:
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mapper/root cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:root cryptkey=/dev/sdb1:ext2:/root.gpg
Don't forget the :root suffix in cryptdevice!
Also, my root line was set to (hd1,0). Had to change that to
root (hd0,0)
Install grub to /dev/sdb (the usb stick).
Now, we can exit the installer.

This hook allows for an encrypted root device with support for gpg encrypted key files.
To use gpg, the key file must have the extension .gpg and you have to install gpg and add /usr/bin/gpg
to your BINARIES var in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
HELPEOF
Edit /mnt/etc/mkinitcpio.conf (only relevant sections displayed):
MODULES=”ext2 ext4” # not sure if this is really nessecary.
BINARIES=”/usr/bin/gpg” # this could probably be done in install/etwo...
HOOKS=”base udev usbinput keymap autodetect pata scsi sata usb etwo filesystems” # (usbinput is only needed if you have an usb keyboard)
Copy the initcpio stuff over to the live cd:
cp /mnt/lib/initcpio/hooks/etwo /lib/initcpio/hooks/
cp /mnt/lib/initcpio/install/etwo /lib/initcpio/install/
cp /mnt/etc/mkinitcpio.conf /etc/
Verify your LOCALE, KEYMAP and TIMEZONE in /etc/rc.conf!
Now reinstall the initcpio:
mkinitcpio -g /mnt/boot/kernel26.img
Make sure there were no errors and that all hooks were included.
13. Decrypt the "var" key to the encrypted root
mkdir /mnt/keys
chmod 500 /mnt/keys
gpg –output /mnt/keys/var -d /mnt/boot/var.gpg
chmod 400 /mnt/keys/var
14. Setup crypttab
Edit /mnt/etc/crypttab:
swap /dev/sda1 SWAP -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool
var /dev/sda2 /keys/var
15. Reboot
We're done, you may reboot. Make sure you select the usb stick as the boot device in your bios and hope for the best. . If it didn't work, play with grub's settings or boot from the live cd, mount your encrypted devices and check all settings. You might also have less trouble by using uuid's instead of device names. I chose device names to keep things as simple as possible, even though it's not the optimal way to do it.
Make backups of your data and your usb stick and do not forget your password(s)! Or you can say goodbye to your data forever...

I'm trying to run my install script that is based on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129885
Decrypting the gpg key after grub works, but then "Devce root already exists." appears every second.
any idea ?

Using slim and xfce4, something crashes on exit

I recently did a fresh install of Arch onto an older PC that I have. It's running a P4 3.06GHz, an nVidia GeForce FX 5900, and 1GB RAM. Because of the lower resources, I decided to use xfce4 and slim. I have a monitor and TV hooked up through s-video with the "seperate X screen" option. Whenever I logout of xfce (this includes, logout, reboot, shutdown), it goes to a blank black screen with a cursor at the top left and just hangs. I have slim configured to run from inittab, so it picks up after a couple seconds. However, if I run startx from console, and then logout of xfce the system just hangs and wont accept any keyboard input (including ctrl+alt+function to switch run levels). Also, if I choose to shutdown or reboot, the system will do so but the only thing I see is the blank screen until the POST. If I do a startx from console, the logout, I'm able to ssh in from my laptop, login and issue a reboot (again the screen doesn't change until the POST). Also, if I turn the "seperate x screen" option off, and just run the desktop on the monitor, it doesn't freeze. I've worked my way through a number of issues so far, but this one has me completely stumped. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my configuration or if it's just a problem with the graphics driver. Any advice and/or help is greatly appreciated.
Here are configuration and log files:

I recently did a fresh install of Arch onto an older PC that I have. It's running a P4 3.06GHz, an nVidia GeForce FX 5900, and 1GB RAM. Because of the lower resources, I decided to use xfce4 and slim. I have a monitor and TV hooked up through s-video with the "seperate X screen" option. Whenever I logout of xfce (this includes, logout, reboot, shutdown), it goes to a blank black screen with a cursor at the top left and just hangs. I have slim configured to run from inittab, so it picks up after a couple seconds. However, if I run startx from console, and then logout of xfce the system just hangs and wont accept any keyboard input (including ctrl+alt+function to switch run levels). Also, if I choose to shutdown or reboot, the system will do so but the only thing I see is the blank screen until the POST. If I do a startx from console, the logout, I'm able to ssh in from my laptop, login and issue a reboot (again the screen doesn't change until the POST). Also, if I turn the "seperate x screen" option off, and just run the desktop on the monitor, it doesn't freeze. I've worked my way through a number of issues so far, but this one has me completely stumped. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my configuration or if it's just a problem with the graphics driver. Any advice and/or help is greatly appreciated.

Worked example using 'patch' and 'sed' to make a pkg

I would like this to be reviewed, please. The methododology may need to be standardized a bit more. Also, of course, the way I have used scripts may be a bit controversial. Certainly, anyone who knows what they are doing could easily do without these scripts, but maybe also they are stepping stones to acquiring that sort of proficiency! Also, I would not rule out that the PKGBUILD, itself, can be criticised/ improved with guidance.
Introduction
Here is a method for creating patches for Makefiles which uses sed to convert #PREFIX# to $Startdir/pkg in literal path form, so that the build is fully portable. I asked a while back on the forum whether this was possible. Xentac held my hand, while I picked up the method from him. What follows also incorporates some of his cautions about retaining md5sum integrity. (A point about which I earlier had a weak understanding!) My thanks also to dp who sorted me out on the use of $pkgname and $origname.
Description
The PKGBUILD method is an example of automation, which these scripts follow in that variables are assigned values and then a template-like feel follows on. Despite this resemblance, you will need to make these two files executable by applying
$ chmod +x FILENAME
You will need to execute them in a terminal with the commands
$ cd YOUR_WORKING_DIRECTORY_PATH
$ ./Makefiles_ready
or
$ ./PATCHMAKER
This will all work under fakeroot, provided the files have 'user users' permissions. The attached scripts are annotated examples; and enough is provided so that the reader can fabricate his/her own Makefile_new and test out the method for his(her)self.
I reckon this might be useful practice for learning the technique. I need to mention that for full functionality postfix needs to be installed and set up so that sendmail can work, but a lot of the functionality can be tested without doing this.
The command for starting the application is
$ FaxMail
You can, of course, run it for testing purposes from $startdir/pkg/usr/bin. Note the distinction between $origname and $pkgname, which you will see in the following files.
Getting Directory and Files Ready
You could start by making a new directory in $HOME, possibly called 'TESTBED' and by creating empty files named as per the following, ready for copying and pasting. It could also be useful to create a file called HOWTO and paste these notes into it. You will then need to check the 'user users' permissions and to make the two new scripts exucutable.
Then, you are ready to roll -- completing the whole process with a straight 'makepkg' in the terminal.
File Contents
Makefiles_ready
#! /bin/sh
# Makefiles_ready... generates two clean copies of the Makefile.
origname=FaxMail
pkgver=2.3
### RESULTS:-- two appropriately named copies of clean Makefile.
### 'Makefile_new.scratch' is so named as a safeguard against
### inadvertently overwriting any earlier 'Makefile_new'. So, if you just
### want a clean 'Makefile_pristine' with which to make a new patch,
### delete the generated 'Makefile_new.scratch'.
### REQUIREMENTS:-- Either a downloaded and compressed source file
### in the main directory, and appropriate source array in PKGBUILD.
### Or just the latter.
### NOTES: If there is already a ./src_old, it should first be deleted by
### hand. If there is already a $pkgname-$pkgver.pkg.tar.gz, it will need
### to be removed or deleted. This script will produce a failed make
### but will produce the results we are looking for.
mv ./src ./src_old
makepkg -o
# downloads and extracts files; does not build.
cp ./src/$origname-$pkgver/Makefile Makefile_new.scratch
cp Makefile_new.scratch Makefile_pristine
echo ">> When and if ammended, Makefile_new.scratch "
echo ">> needs to be renamed as Makefile_new. If you do this"
echo ">> and you want to retain your earlier Makefile_new, you "
echo " should first rename it to something like Makefile_prev_new."
PATCHMAKER
#! /bin/sh
# PATCHMAKER... makes a patch file
origname=FaxMail
pkgname=faxmail
pkgver=2.3
### RESULTS:-- $pkgname-$pkgver.patch; md5sums
### REQUIREMENTS:-- Clean Makefile_pristine; Edited Makefile_new;
### PKGBUILD ammended to include $pkgname-$pkgver.patch in source array.
### '#PREFIX#' stands in for '$startdir/pkg' -- see the sed command
### in PKGBUILD which inserts the required literal path, prior to making
### for real.
### It is a good idea to look at the patchfile produced here, and checkout by
### eye that the lines set for deletion are really from the Makefile_pristine.
### The two scripts have worked consistently, according to my tests.
### Makefiles_ready can be used to ensure you have clean makefile copies
### to start from.

The second is a serious candidate for doing it that sort of way. The first, however, needs the embedded makepkg and encasing with makepkg therefore executes that process a second time.

Load balancing weirdness using NAT and same-metric route

Hi.
I'm trying to set up a double-WAN load-balancing scenario:
I decided to attempt the "multiple same-metric routes with NAT" approach so I went for the example used in the IOS NAT Load-Balancing for Two ISP Connections Configuration Guide [1].
I decided to use an upside-down Cisco 871-SEC/K9: use Vlan1 and Vlan2 for the routers and Fa4 for the LAN. I am hoping this is not an issue.
There is this weirdness with some connections, particularly FTP. I pinpointed the problem to the following scenario: if I do a couple of pings to 100.1.1.1 using the FastEthernet4 as the source address, this is what I get in the logs:
=== PING 1 ECHO REQUEST ===

In the section "Ping 2 Echo Request" line 2 shows the NAT translating the packet to the address for the first provider but line 3 shows it routing it through the second one.
In this case, the ICMP packet goes through but it is problematic if the ISP restricts the service by source-address (like RPF) or there is some acceleration mechanism inside the provider cloud, other than just plain routing.
What am I missing? Here is the relevant part of the configuration. I deliberately disabled CEF to be able to debug the messages, but I *think* this may be altering the actual router behavior. This router does not have a "debug ip cef packet" command.

Hello.
This might be a bug in debug command or the IOS (without ip cef) you use; as routing is done before NAT (inside to outside).
To make sure it works fine with ip cef, just enable strict uRPF (or just ACL) on .1 and .33 interfaces and see if you see any packet sent over wrong interface.
PS: please check "sh ip cef 100.1.1.1"; I guess ip cef would tell you "per-destination sharing".

Using utl_file and unix pipes

Hi,
I'm trying to use utl_file and unix pipes to communicate with a unix process.
Basically I want the unix process to read off one pipe and give me back the result on a different pipe.
In the example below the unix process is a dummy one just copying the input to the output.
I cant get this to work for a single plsql block writing and reading to/from the pipes - it hangs on the first read of the return pipe.
Any ideas?
======== TEST CASE 1 ===============
create directory tmp as '/tmp';
on unix:
cd /tmp
mknod outpip p
mknod inpip p
cat < inpip > outpip
drop table res;
create table res (m varchar2(200));
declare
l_filehandle_rec UTL_FILE.file_type;
l_filehandle_send UTL_FILE.file_type;
l_char VARCHAR2(200);
begin
insert into res values ('starting');commit;
l_filehandle_send := UTL_FILE.fopen ('TMP', 'inpip', 'A', 32000);
insert into res values ('opened inpip ');commit;
l_filehandle_rec := UTL_FILE.fopen ('TMP', 'outpip', 'R', 32000);
insert into res values ('opened outpip ');commit;
FOR i in 1..10 LOOP
utl_file.put_line(l_filehandle_send,'line '||i);
insert into res values ('written line '||i); commit;
utl_file.get_line(l_filehandle_rec,l_char);
insert into res values ('Read '||l_char);commit;
END LOOP;
utl_file.fclose(l_filehandle_send);
utl_file.fclose(l_filehandle_rec);
END;
in a different sql session:
select * from res:
starting
opened inpip
opened outpip
written line 1
============ TEST CASE 2 =================
However If I use 2 different sql session (not what I want to do...), it works fine:
1. unix start cat < inpip > outpip
2. SQL session 1:
set serveroutput on size 100000
declare
l_filehandle UTL_FILE.file_type;
l_char VARCHAR2(200);
begin
l_filehandle := UTL_FILE.fopen ('TMP', 'outpip', 'R', 32000);
FOR i in 1..10 LOOP
utl_file.get_line(l_filehandle,l_char);
dbms_output.put_line('Read '||l_char);
END LOOP;
utl_file.fclose(l_filehandle);
END;
3. SQL session 2:
set serveroutput on size 100000
declare
l_filehandle UTL_FILE.file_type;
begin
l_filehandle := UTL_FILE.fopen ('TMP', 'inpip', 'A', 32000);
FOR i in 1..10 LOOP
utl_file.put_line(l_filehandle,'line '||i);
--utl_lock.sleep(1);
dbms_output.put_line('written line '||i);
END LOOP;
utl_file.fclose(l_filehandle);
END;
/

> it hangs on the first read of the return pipe.
Correct.
A pipe is serialised I/O device. One process writes to the pipe. The write is blocked until a read (from another process or thread) is made on that pipe. Only when there is a reader for that data, the writer is unblocked and the actual write I/O occurs.
The reverse is also true. A read on the pipe is blocked until another process/thread writes data into the pipe.
Why? A pipe is a memory structure - not a file system file. If the write was not blocked the writer process can writes GBs of data into the pipe before a reader process starts to read that data. This will drastically knock memory consumption and performance.
Thus the purpose of a pipe is to serve as a serialised blocking mechanism between a reader and a writer - allowing one to write data that is read by the other. With minimal memory overheads as the read must be serviced by a write and a write serviced by a read.
If you're looking for something different, then you can open a standard file in share mode and write and read from it using two different file handles within the same process. However, the file will obviously have a file system footprint ito space (growing until the writer stops and the reader terminates and trashes the file) .
OTOH a pipe's footprint is minimal.

Why can't I use echo "hey" in applescript?

I'm almost completely new and wonder why applescript is giving me an error when I type in echo "hey". Yes, I compiled it.

If that was the complete command you used, "echo" is not an AppleScript statement - it is from one of the command line utilities such as bash. In order to use it that way, see Apple's tech note on do shell script, or use a regular AppleScript command such as display dialog.

If i want to get ESS and CATS in ABAP Web dynpro , what we have to do ???
Could you send me useful links for ESS and CATS in ABAP webdynpro on Portals side.
Srinivas.

Thanks To your Reply.
So we have to live with current ESS which is in Java Iviews on portal side.
There is no as such ESS availble with SAP SP17 or EP7 side for ABAP web dynpro.
If we want to make it available , then we have to go for custom development right.
But Travel & Expenses are available in both JAVA webdynpro and ABAP webdynpro , how come SAP give partly give the package in JAVA and ABAP.
Please clarify me.
Srinivas.

Connecting FAX to PSTN line using FXS and FXO ports

I have 2 cisco 1760 routers with FXS and FXO card installed in each. I have to transport 2 PSTN lines from Head Office to remote loaction using FXS and FXO cards and these lines will be used for voice calls and FAX( one line each for FAX and voice). I have configured the router for voice lines and it is working fine. Now I am using the same config for running fax machine but it is not working. Can anyone help me out how to configure FAX in this scenario also if anyone can share any sample config. I am attaching my config for both routers. Right now both routers are connected with a cross-over cable for lab test but we will connect them later using satellite connection.

In your voice class codec 10 there aren't any codecs declared.
Add G.711 codec in this way:

If the fax communication fails again try to disable T.38 and try fax passthrough mode:

Export Errors - sound echo and sound stoppage

Hi everyone - I have a bit of an urgent need for help. When I
preview my slides as a "movie" or export them to HTML, I am faced
with two errors: at one minute into the script, the sound acquires
an echo and remains for the rest of the slides. The other issue is
that the audio simply cuts off after about 2 minutes. I experienced
these issues separately when performing the same export and preview
as movie functions.
The confusing part is that when I preview individual slides,
neither of the problems are present. So, it is likely that there is
a problem in the export/preview functions. Can anyone help out?
Thanks!

Hello dcdave and welcome to our community.
I am very sorry to hear that you have experienced audio
problems with Adobe Captivate. In this first instance I would
suggest that you try exporting the audio using the Advanced Audio
Editor (Audio > Advanced Audio...) and playing the audio in the
built-in audio recorder Sound Recorder. If you don't experience any
problems playing the audio file here then back in Captivate, delete
the audio file from the Slide (again you can do this using the
Advanced Audio Editor) and then import the WAV file back onto your
slide.
With regard to the audio stopping, I have seen this numerous
times. Sometimes you can stop this from occurring by simply
selecting the audio object on the Timeline moving to the 0.0 marker
and then back to it's original position. If that doesn't solve the
probem then try deleting it from Timeline and importing the WAV
file again.
Note: You might also want to make sure that the audio file
has been removed from the Library panel, if not then delete it here
as well.
Lastly, whilst you are not experiencing any duplications at
runtime (when you preview) the most common cause for duplications
is when you have inserted the audio to the slide and also another
object such as a text caption. You can check this by showing the
Advanced Audio Editor and choosing the option
Show object level audio.

Problem in audio conferencing using Flex and FMS3.0

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to achieve audio conferencing using Flex and
FMS3.0
Currently I am following an approach where all the persons in
voice conference publish their voice on flash media server using
NetStream.Publish() function and all persons listen to the streams
published by all other members in the conference using
NetStream.Play() function. I am using a shared array on server side
to keep track of all the persons present in the conference. The
problem I am facing is that sometimes all the persons are able to
hear the voice of each other but other times audio of some persons
is not audible to others. Even if voice comes then there is echo
and one can hear the sound 3-4 times depending on the amplitude of
the sound. I have also used Microphone.setUseEchoSuppression(true)
to suppress the echo but it is not effectively suppressing it. If
someone has faced similar problems in past please let me know the
solution. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pankaj

I know.. but it was wrapped as jar or war files..
I searched all over my harddrive to find something named like org.apache or jdbc.clientDriver...and so on..with no result.
and I unziped derby.jar or derbyclient.jar etc.. also with no result.
It's like the driver has hiden somewhere like viruses...at least to me..

Using Automator and Applescript to search and move files to flash drive

I've used applescript and automator to do simple tasks like watch folders and move files and rename files, but that is about the extent. I am wondering if it is possible to set up a automator service or app that will do several things.
When a flash drive is plugged it, it will ask for a file to be searched for, then it will search a predetermined directory for files with the word or number in them and then it will copy the found files to the mounted flash drive.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks!

As a start, you can use launchd to run a script when a volume is mounted:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>com.tonyt.LaunchOnVolMount</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>LaunchOnVolMount.sh</string>
          </array>
          <key>QueueDirectories</key>
          <array/>
          <key>StartOnMount</key>
          <true/>
          <key>WatchPaths</key>
          <array/>
</dict>
</plist>
You can then have the LaunchOnVolMount.sh script perform the tasks you need.
You can incorporate Applescript within the Bash script with osascript:
#!/bin/bash
answer=$( osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "What file do you want to search for?" default answer "" ' )
echo $answer
I beleive that you can also call an Applescript from launchd
