SSPS - Smarter Serial Port Software Myself and the Co-Admin of exucom.com have written some applications for the SGI's that do the following: o Alter number of rings your modems answer on according to day of week and time of day. It also removes the bogus lock files that might still be in /usr/spool/locks for the serial ports. o Command line Audio Volume control that doesn't effect sampling rates like sfplay or playaiff do with empty aiff files. o Replacements for UUCP that will wait for other serial port traffic to stop and then grab the serial port for UUCP to use. (Very useful if you have serial ports that are in constant use for incoming/outgoing calls.) All of the above functions with or without the flex-fax software available via anonymous ftp to sgi.com. As far as price, E-Mail an offer. We would consider $25.00 to be about right... We're not sure if we should go with the shareware concept or what. In short, we're negotiable. In my opinion I think that SGI should make us an offer for the rights and bundle it with the OS. It solves an awful lot of problems as far as system administration. They make the system smart enough to babysit itself as far as serial IO, UUCP, and SLIP goes. These programs have been tested for over a year on an SGI R3000 Indigo and have been running solidly for 6 months. It's well out of Beta Test stage. These scripts are not provided by the company I work for, or any other commercial organization. (This is to clarify the point for the discussion in news.admin about commercial advertisements on USENET.) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kjv@exucom.com | I was better, but I got over it.
