I have recently received a Hyundai 386C which is a 20Mhz 386 DX.
It was given to me as a result of it not working. I have checked
it reasonably thouroughly but it just sits there and does nothing
when switched on. 
The board design is a bit wierd having peripherals such as keyboard,
FDC, IDE, COM1, PRN controllers on the main board and the CPU and memory 
on a plug in 16 bit board.  If anybody has had troubles with such 
machines could they please mail me as the information may be extremely
valuable towards fixing it.
My suspicions are that the CPU itself has been zapped!!!! I have tested
the bios's and their OK.  (Pheonix Bios (c))

I may be absolutely wrong though.  

				Thanks

>3. "The Tyranny of History" by W.J.F. Jenner
>   "The Dragon's Brood" by David Rice ................................. 169

I believe Prof. Jenner's arguments were partial. Although powerful, his
analysis of Chinese culture, especially, that of the language, is based on
the concept of Western Cultural Superiority.

My arguments are:

1) The great advantage of a unifying culture shouldn't be neglected. The fact
   that Chinese from far corners of that land all see themselves as one
   people is invaluable. I am too glad too see that we do not have the need
   to fight a Yogoslav war in China, nor the ethnic wars that had been
   fought elsewhere.

2) The usage of language is by man. Chinese script did not stop us to
   become top scientists of the world. It is difficult to learn, that is true.
   But it has more value in it, so it is worthwhile. Nor does it stop us
   from rational and logical reasoning as he suggested. In the eighteenth
   century, some scholar suggested that Chinese was the most backward
   language. I wonder how the Chinese 1000 years ago might have thought
   of the Western languages (although probably wrongly). And I wonder how
   in another 1000 years people might think again.

3) What Prof. Jenner is suggesting is in fact that China should become
   a number of states, with their local dialect as their "national language".
   I think we have had that stage already, 2000 years ago. The consequence
   of being such was 400 years+ of continuing wars. China should stay one,
   just like America or Australia should stay one.

4) I believe the Chinese culture has scope for allowing more diversity
   without being split into little kingdoms. A culture is dynamic. Much of
   Chinese culture was actually assimiliated cultures from elsewhere,
   most dominantly Indian/Persian in the past, Western in modern times. In
   fact, it is the advantage of Chinese culture of being able many cultures
   and One Culture at the same time.

5) I absolutely believe that history will prove Prof. Jenner wrong. Most
   scholars 40 years ago would never believe that East Asia could rise
   economically, ever. They have been proven wrong. Already.

There are no sponsors to this organisation. NUCSSA was formed in May 1989
as an independent alternative to the PRC Embassy-sponsored Lian2 Yi4 hui4.
It had many branches through Australia, and has been the major effective 
lobbying group for protection of CSS in Australia since early 1990. At 
present, only its core group - the Canberra branch, is still actively working.

There is no financial support for NUCSSA; it mainly relies on the facilities
available at the Australian National University. Any donation is a bit
late, but still welcome. :-) :-)

I don't understand your question. NUCSSA-FORUM is a free mailing list where
CSS can discuss matters of their concern among themselves. There is no
paper work to go through to get on the list.

Hello, CSS,

Yesterday's SBS news and today's ABC news(broadcasting) reported the newly 
released report regarding Chinese students in Australia.

I really do not understand how they could be so self-contridicted.

The interesting thing is that all news reports emphasized the speech by the 
Chairman, other than the opinion from the document.

I think they could not find way out.

It reminds me an old chinese saying: the benefit makes fool ( Li4 ling4
zhi4 hun1). They simply want to drive people out and do not care about logic.

I consider it good news. It made us sure that nobody wants to oppose the
PMs' commitment.

Victory belongs to us, I'm sure.

opinions. In other words, this is a free forum for CSS in Australia.

Well, they're still there.  (At least they were on the weekend :^)
In fact all of Melbourne is still there, and the bit that I stayed in that

The guaranteed revenue stream (minimum toll revenue) applies over the life of
the contract (ie until 2022).  In this respect, the investment is "rock
solid".  I suppose you can offset this with the fact that if construction
costs had have blown out on their fixed-price construction contract, the 
Tunnel Company could have lost out very badly as they would have paid for any
blowouts.  They managed the project well enough to prevent this, so yes, I
suppose they win.

Also, there are contractural obligations that the Tunnel Company has to hand
the tunnel over in 2022 in a good enough condition to satisfy its 100 year
design lifespan.

Possibly, although its hard to see how they could actually do this.  If people
don't want to pay a $2 toll and hence don't drive, what can the Government do?
Especially when they're talking about new bus and light rail public transport
options for the North Shore now the Tunnel is open (see p.5 of the SMH this
morning).

> So it's not as if the revenue spent on this "hinzian " (Russ) has merely

It's interesting that no one has given the Government any credit at all for
installing a 24 hour bus lane on the Bridge since the Tunnel opened.  Bus
trips from Epping to the City have been cut by 27 minutes (allegedly - I
haven't actually caught one) and I think a dozen new bus services have been
added.

Surely that makes bus travel from the north more attractive and should
increase patronage?

A better public transport system is only possible if we abandon the quarter
acre block as the preferred housing option.  Low urban densities are the cause
of any transport ills we have, not road building, which is a symptom.

Hi There,

	I purchased a Nuvotel 2400 Internal modem from the US and tried it at
home but the message 'No Dialtone' came up on the screen. Presently, I have 4
phones connected on the one line, 3 pushbutton, and 1 rotary dial. The line is
on pulse. I then tried the modem at a friend's house and the modem functioned
first go on his tone system. Thinking that the problem might be the pulse line,
I rang Telecom and found that they couldn't change the line to tone.
	I then tried a friend's Quadcraft modem, and this modem functioned
first go, but my Nuvotel didn't. Then, to confirm that it was because the
Nuvotel was from the US, I tried a Netcomm Auto Fax modem, and to my surprise,
this modem DIDN'T work.
	I have heard that the telephones have capacitors in them, and they
discharge and recharge often, often disconnecting modem communications. I read
in an article about 2 years ago in PC Update that there is a device that can be
purchased from Telecom that connects to the phone line and stores energy to
the capacitors in the telephones.
	I have put the problem down to our phone line, and that the Quadcraft
modem was able to over come the problem. Could anyone help me with this
problem and if the device would overcome the problem. If so, where can I get
the this device??

		Thanks In Advance.
