My first introduction to FidoNet and BBSes in general came
to me from a 300 baud Direct Connect Modem Pak in 1991, on
my Color Computer 2 [...]
The days of fiddling with retro-tech is over for me. I
On 18 Feb 24 10:10:00, August Abolins said the following to Bo Holt:I still want a Tandy 1000 RLX and a 1000 HX. I'm responding to this on my TL/2 as we speak!

Same here, 100%. In fact my days of fiddling with tech itself are numbered
I just could not longer justify having boxes and boxes of tech parts for systems and projects that really would have no benefit in the end. As time went on, just lost interest.
The systems and software config's running here are perfected as far as I c make them. There is nothing to fiddle with, no reason, no desire. The BBS XP will never ever be changed. The home network, servers, Nas storage, Wif are all sufficient for my needs.
I kept my Tandy 1000 computers, thats about all. There is nothing to fiddl with those either, I've upgraded those as much as I cared to do so.

Yeah.. the old stuff triggers interesting memories. But, time
is best spent in discovering new things to do, imho.
I bet someone would have taken those CRTs. I'm holding on
a few: old Mac monitors, a rare color display for a IIc,
some VGA, TVs, and some pricey PVMs. There a few mini-
tower cases from my youth I'd love to get one day with 386
or 486 class systems. ;)

I built a Proxmox server at work a few years ago, but then management changed before I even got to do anything with it except the initial installation... so I don't know anything about it as of now LOL. I
run a couple of VMs in VirtualBox, used to use VMWare, and I play with DOSBox from time to time.

I wonder how many VMWare shops are playing with Proxmox. Once Veeam
comes out with support for Proxmox, we may see more moving that
direction.

I'm not all that familiar with Veeam, but isn't it just backup software for VMWare? Proxmox already has that build in...

Proxmox has basic backup capabilities and Proxmox Backup Server for
more capable backups, but Veeam has most of the market share of
enterprise backup software. Getting Veeam agents working on Proxmox
would be a huge win for getting Proxmox into enterprise data centers.

Yes, Proxmox also has builtin support for backing up VM's. It does
have some limitations though.

Not sure, but I think I need to look into Proxmox some more and familiarize myself with it. I'm sure it's a marketable skill!

I wish I had a bigger environment to run Proxmox in. I'd like to play
with ZFS/CEPH and the high-availability bits. It looks pretty amazing, I've seen videos of people unplugging servers and services taking a
short hiccup, then continuing on another server in the cluster.

I really desired owning a 17" CRT in 1993 while looking
through Computer Shopper Magazines ads. I saw some in
stores for$700+ USD, that was way more than I wanted to
spend on Color Monitor.
That LCD Monitor sure beats the price back in 1993 for a
17"'er that sold for $700+USD.
The Vista Home notebook has Wi-Fi WEP
Since WEP is easily broken I never used it.
When I turn that box on, as the HDD grinds away loading
the O/S , I watch for the Wi-Fi led to start blinking so I
press that button to shut it
Hello Ed Vance!

support WEP anyway.
Try to see if a connection *can* be made. A few seconds of
connection time isn't to crack open your pc to anyone over the
airwaves. Wifi from a laptop or phone isn't going to a have a
very large range.
Or.. perhaps better yet, try a Bluetooth linkup (I think that's
referred to as "tethering" on the phones). The range for that
is much shorter and probably much more secure than a WEP wifi.
What kind of community do you live in? Are there a lot of other
people operating wifi-based systems?

P.S. I forget what echo/forum that I have posted msgs in.
Just today I saw your reply to me.
Not looked at this echo in a long time.

When I got this phone I saw many, many names/SSIDs in the listing.
Seeing that is what made me decide to torn Wi-Fi off on this phone.
(as You can see I'm learning how to quote)
Sorry for quoting your whole post, but I would be forever removing text
so I could begin answering you.

That would be a list of wi-fi routers, etc., that are there for you to potentially make a connection to. They are not (necessarily) a list of people who can spy on your device, so long as you don't try to connect to them.
Most of them should be password protected and not allow you to connect to them, even if you want to. Exceptions would be if you happen to live near
a business that offers free wi-fi to customers, or near someone who has not properly secured their home network.
That said, unless you have wi-fi of your own, it does make sense to turn
the wi-fi off on the phone
I figure having it off show one less ssid broadcast to all my neighbors who use
that function.
The Wi-Fi router didn't use the same IP Address as my cat5
router so to me it's unusable.
If I find the device I saw the photo of, I would use it in
place of the DSL Modem that's no longer usable here.
Hello Ed!I bought that Wi-Fi router from a neighbor thinking the County Internet would either be Wi-Fi as I learned it was in Huntington WV, or through the local Cable Co. so I thought I would be able to use that router either way.

Routers can be configured to use any base IP address you need
to match your home network.
I am not sure what you saw is what you think you need.Was wanting to use the device to communicate with the Bluetooth that's inside the phone, instead of doing Wi-Fi.
said before, I don't think you can expect to have your phone
feed the mobile hotspot service with Cat5 from its USB.
