I have just bought a new motherboard, with onboard soundcard. I used this for
a while, but I did not like it, because of some dificulties with finding the
right drivers...
So I disabled it, and put my old SB16 back into my computer. I have not used
my CD-rom for playing music after that, so I did not know that anything was
wrong. :)
The problem was that the audio-cable still was conected to the onboard
soundcard. :)
Easy. :D

If that includes a subnet and a router connection for inbound calls

You're right it's not cheap but it's definately worth the cost for us.

I was a little off on the telco rate: the measured rate (per B channel) is
23.50 + usage fee, the package rate for 60 hours is 41.00 up to unlimited at
239.00. the 75.00 I stated is for 300 hours, so I guess the deal is a little
better.
I plan on using iis for promoting my business, so it will be worth the
expense,
geesh I even fired my cleaning woman to do this...:)
so my total cost will be:
unlimited telco: $50.00
dedicated (inbound & outbound) $110.00
that's with the x2 server next month,
if I add ISDN the cost will increase 75.00.

Write your reply.

assistant: We're totally NT3.51 except for a few rogue 95 installs.  We're in the
process of rolling out 4.0, but haven't done a lot of thinkpads yet.
Just desktops, here and there.  I don't think we've bought 4.0 for the
whole place yet, so we only install here and there so we don't go over
the amount of licenses we do own.
Actually...no.  They gave up.  In fact, we disable that completely as
part of our standard build, so the IRQ is free.  It just doesn't go
under NT, I guess.  The users with Thinkpads aren't issued any other
computers, and they all have 3Com PCMCIA network cards, modems, and
docks with SCSI adapters, so we don't worry about that particular bit
of connectivity.
If they need anything like that, we tend to buy a third-party system
and use it.  Then again, I wasn't aware that IR could work on NT 3.51,
so that's probably part of why we don't use it.
Yeah...we're loosely looking at other alternatives.  It always makes
sense to see if something else would be better, but these things are
really expensive to support.  You have to go through a certain set of
steps just to get them to boot properly, and then live with
deficiencies while it's running.  They just cause a lot more work than
I'd like to see.
Once you get one running properly, it usually stays stable for a few
months, and a lot of them never come back for more work, but we greatly
prefer that the users get a desktop system.  We've been using HP Vectra
XU Pentium Pro models, and they've been very good systems.  They work
right out of the box and rarely need service.

assistant: Nope x2 will not do an inbound connection with a subnet. Routers are
required there, however, I might be misreading you here.
nd
If your really going to do a inbound you'll need two routers and the
connection at your ISP will need to provide a subnet to you. That rules
out standard dialups. Dialups only let you have a single IP. You can
phantom IP's for outbound access on a network but a host has to have a
real address to allow inbound access.

I bring this up because I just installed service pack 2, and
also downloaded the companion "symbols" service pack.  Instructions
say just to overwrite all the existing debug files with the new

We have an old saying in the computer business (and elsewhere):

Anyway, the rumor mill has it that SP 3 will be released in several
