Re: WAS : Starspeeder NOW - ISDN Internet Access

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

keep meaning to get some time to look at linux,,,,i still haven't=20
ever worked on one or set one up,,,even at home....doh....

shame now as I really do need someone who can do some compiling on a=20
linux box for my ddar's

apparently you can reconfigure a file that then makes the volume knob=20
alter the volume through the lineouts,,,useful as the onboard amp is=20
utter crap...

but i hate having to adjust the volume on my amp,,,the idea was it=20
was going to be out of the way and only the ddar on display.
