There is a high probability that I will lose the use of the modem I have been
borrowing for a number of years now :-(.

So.. All you comms dudes, mail me your best modem buys. My limit would be
about $700, but I would prefer to spend much less than that.

In particular, I want to know:

Name:
Retailer:
Cost:
Warantee:
Speeds:
Features:

Mail to me, and I will post a summary back to unisa.general in case anyone
else is interested.

In anticipation,
-dave

==============================================================

I am undertaking postgraduate study at the School of Library and
Information Management, University of South Australia, Adelaide, on
the particular information needs of telecommuters - those who perform
job-related work at a site away from an organisation and communicate
electronically rather than commuting physically.
 
I would be very interested in, and would greatly appreciate a response
from those who are telecommuters, to the following questions. If you
are not a telecommuter but know of others who are it would be
appreciated if you could pass this on to them:
 
 
Q1      Does the organisation to which you telecommute provide any
        library and information services which are accessible to you
        online? (eg catalogs, reference assistance, databases, literature
        searches, document delivery services, organisation information
        such as daily bulletins and administrative gazettes.)
 
        If yes:
 
        (a) What services are provided?
        (b) How useful are these services to you?
 
Q2      (a)     What is the nature of the organisation to which you
                telecommute?
 
        (b)     If you sometimes commute physically to your organisation,
                how frequently do you do this?
 
Q3      What are the particular information needs that you have as a
        telecommuter?
 
Q4      What basic information services do you consider should be
        provided by an organisation for its telecommuters? (see Q5 for
        additional and desirable services)
 
Q5      What additional information services would you perceive as being
        highly desirable for an organisation to provide for its
        telecommuters?
 
Q6      Are there any further comments you wish to make regarding the
        information needs of telecommuters?
 
Q7      Would you like a summary of the results of this survey E-mailed
        to you?
 
Respondents can be assured that individuals and organisations will not
be identified in any report or summary of this survey.

Subject: How to kill off a lost terminal session
Date: 2 Nov 92 18:03:01 +1030
Organization: University of South Australia

	A user says (in a Mail message):

> I logged in from a pool Mac this afternoon but the machine broke down
> so I rebooted it and went to the City campus to continue my work. When
> I fingered my own account, I see that my previous connection using the
> Mac hasn't been closed. I don't know what the problem is but I surely
> will be very grateful if you could close my previous connection.

	You can kill off your own processes using the STOP command. Do
a "SHOW USER/FULL your-username", which will produce an output like:

	Username  Node   Process Name    PID     Terminal
	CCAJR     ADDER  CCAJR         21613199  TWA67:   
	CCAJR      ROLL  CCAJR         21E0A12C  TWA33:   

Pick the process you want to kill (carefully!), find the value in the 
PID column, and then use STOP/ID=pid. For example, to kill off my 
session on ROLL I could use:

$ STOP/ID=21E0A12C

	(Don't bother trying to kill off other users' processors - it 
needs privilege.)

Yet again, a pro-choice newbie article with questions attached went
ignored. Someone wrote about this a few weeks ago. RU486 when used
as a morning after pill does the job you want done quite admirably,
so I am told.

Feh, I got mountains of abuse in 'WHY' for the SOLE reason that
crusty cochran thought I was pro-life.
I don't like off-the-nut people like JEFFERY JERK PRICE, but
at least some people took time out to read his post and respond

Subject: WHY abortion? started afresh
Date: 3 Nov 92 16:32:17 +1030
Organization: That damn kid is still here!

I didn't want to say I was pro-choice since that would have got
in the way of what I wanted to know. It was a mistake to the
point some people went off the deep end.

Now, before I start again I would like to apologise for glossing
pregnancy over or understating the chemical rollercoaster; or as
Crusty would like me to put it:
'Oops. I guess there is more to pregnancy than inconvenience'.
Allthough this was not my original point it was still wrong.
Remind me to ignore female friend's stories.

I still think there was no excuse for that gross posting. A
pointed argument would have sufficed.

**

What is it, other than the pregnancy itself, that scares women
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
into abortion?

One reason I suggested was shame.
Were there no shame, would the number of abortions decrease?

Another I was thinking of (what I wanted someone else to say) was
the prospect of having to give up a career etc since the mother
is usually the one who has most of the home duties to attend to.

I ask that if bio-parents were not forced to raise the children,
then would the number of abortions decrease? However, it is usually
part of religion that the bio-parents have to raise them and
so would not be reasonable whilst lunacy still kept 4billion
people enthralled.

Allowing and not-worrying are two totally separate things. Only
some kind of mental case does not want the number of abortions
reduced but it still remains her choice.

Can anybody figure out what Patton is saying at the start of
Jizzlobber before 'Smile bruises..'?

On the same track, anybody know of more pipe organ stuff like
that at the end of Jizzlobber? I'm not interested in the
Lord Save Me crap, just good powerful stuff with decent
vocal background - the sort of stuff they use on the good old
horror movies. Old evil is the best evil as far as that kind
of music is concerned.

Please, no, not again!...

I said that it's the only reason I could think of for a ban
on abortion. I EXPLICITLY said in that SAME POST that I DID NOT
subscribe to that.

BTW, if you had read some posts I had brought over from aus.religion
you would have read that I had taken reductio ad absurdum on that
point to show that sex amounts to genocide.

Please, people, read all of the article before posting.

Read the program which is supplied in the book.

Type in the program and get it working before making any changes.

Add a subroutine which will print out the augmented matrix when called.

Place one call in the main program to the new subroutine to display the

I am personally not a Hendrix fan, although I can see his obvious influence

My question is: the song Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), why is it called
Voodoo Chile?  Aren't the actual lyrics "Vodoo Child"?.  Is this a typo
