FC5 + grub (not a dual boot).

poff/pon Kyocera PC Modem

cssutto
After a poff command, a pon causes a hang. Instead of a connect, I get garbage. Obviously this has something to do with the modem still having commands or whatever from the previous session. What would be the proper ATZ to clear the modem at the beginning of the pon anc where would it be best to enter the command? ...

Evolution and Spam Again

cssutto
Ihave the ant-spam filters working in Evolution to my complete satisfaction. I get no false positives and I miss fewer than one a week out of 150 or so spams a day. I would like to filter spam so that it is deleted immediately rather than sent to a junk mailbox.

Can't connect to the Internet / network

g0kth
I'm running a dual boot machine (FC4 64 and Win XP 64 Pro) and when I'm using FC4 I can't connect to either the Internet or see the other PC on my home network. When I'm using Win XP everything works fine.

Kyocera PC Modem

cssutto
I finally have this modem working. However, to do so, I had to enter the command sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0xc88 product=0x17da The biggest problem now is that everytime I reboot, which is often with a laptop on the move, pon tells me that there is an unknown dev/ttyUSB0.

Hello, am relatively new to Linux. Have a system that is not already connected to the Internet. Want to install this card to connect wirelessly thru a router to the Internet. I've looked at this page - which is very confusing as I come from the Windows world.

Return Receipt in Evolution

Font When Composing Email in Evolution

cssutto
I want to set the font to a large font when composing email. At least a 12. But I do not want to send it in HTML I know how to set font size in received emails. It is pretty hard to check gammar and spelling when the font is like something on the back of a used car finance sales contract.
