I have never gotten hum over a speaker run.  You get speaker hum
usually before the final stage of amplification.

XLR plugs are not intended for that much power, besides keeping
your line vs: mic levels is bad enough, you dont need a third
system using the same plug.

Your XLR dealer is trying to get rich off of you.  They make some
real nice recessed boxes with bannana plugs mounted inside out of
the way of accidents.  You can either plug into 5 way bannanas or
you can screw down loose wire or a lug.

Got access to a sun?
I think /usr/demo/SOUND/sounds/crash.au is a good one.
Tape if off the audio port.
Use the command:
cat /usr/demo/SOUND/sounds/crash.au >/dev/audio
You might need to use the
/usr/demo/SOUND/gaintool
to set the volume and turn on the external speaker jack.
Suns usually default to 50% volume and the internal speaker.
Hope this has helped!

DEFINITELY !!!  USE BANNANA PLUGS !!!

I worked in a house where they used XLR for speakers.
A greenhorn on the crew toasted $50k of hardware !!!

Bananna plugs are the greatest for speaker level stuff.

Usually I'm working in places that already have 3:
1. line
2. mic
3. headsets (telex)

Of course, the most popular question is:
HEY! Which wanna these is the headset jack???

So, the engineer put the female for mics and male for telex.

And to remember this he said:
The male end f*cks the truck.

(from the days of doing TV remotes, where you were really annoyed
after reeling out a couple hundred feet of cable and finding the
wrong end at the truck!)

On a recent visit to SF, my wife and I found another good

at the Westin St. Francis Hotel for a recommendation, and he
pointed us to the Sanraku resturant at 704 Sutter Street, near
Taylor.  The place was clean, and the food was good, fresh and
fairly inexpensive.  Not for fancy nights out, but great for
early dinners or lunch.  Danny Sato is behind the sushi bar.

Well, for those of you who were anxiously waiting the grand opening of
VegaMUSE2, you can forget it for now... cuz the sysadmin's boss (I'd

muds on their machine.  So............

We are announcing that VegaMUSE2 (also known as OneMonthMUSE) is looking
for a NEW site!

                                  ---

Even though we will NOT be up until one of you generous folks offers us
a place to set up shop, here's what WILL be done while in hiatus:

   * An LPC-type (NOT Lpc itself) combat system will be installed!!
   * Space will be installed ... HARDCODED! (like MicroMUSE, but different.)
   * A whole mess of flags and attributes will be hardcoded into the
       game, to enhance roleplaying capability!

Here's what we got now:

   * Three totally different races, designed to suit many different
       tastes:  one Republic, a kingdom, and a military Empire (evil!!)
   * Nearly 1000 objects
   * Over 50 players
   * Even some of the mystical/magical stuff was installed!

VegaMUSE is a sci-fi/magical type of muse with many different types of
characters associated with it.  Needless to say, many of those fifty
players were NOT thrilled when we lost our site.  You can get a good
idea what the muse is based on by going into the /incoming directory
of shaman.nexagen.com (our old site ...) and getting voyage1.txt -
voyage4.txt ... the ORIGINAL book that the muse is based on!

So if you got 10-15 megs of space, and a relatively quick machine
(it has to be BSD-compatable-- UNIX, IRIX and the like), drop me a
line at io10081@maine.maine.edu!  Bye for now!

Well, the day draws closer and closer.

On December 31, 1992, TerrapinMUD will no-longer exist amoung the MUDs
of the world.  Its host machine will be under restructure of accounts
whereby all non-research access will be removed and all programs running
under said account will no longer be supported.

WISHES (not necessary come true): would like to start a new MUD
from scratch at a new site with user access.  If anyone would
like to CO-GOD/Admin/Wiz and would like to run a MUD, please
let me know.  I would like to work on a new MUD, somewhat like
TerrapinMUD but not TerrapinMUD.  I have new ideas and new
code I would like to experiment/test/open to the public as a
game.  I would also like access to the account as to maintain
the game and code to improve and correct errors (not improve
errors :) ).

If you're interested, please let me know.

Thanks and thank you all for making a simple 3-player, 2 wizard
for about a 1 month project into a 500+ players, 30+ wizards,
and an existence of 2+ years (yes, it was supposed to be only
a 1 month project to see how MUD works).  Thank you.
