ProcommPlus, Xterm, Sterm and a bunch of other freeware terminal programs for DOS, Windows and my old TRS-80 also did that nicely. Useful to upload to BBSs if you didn't have one of the

I have an old Win98 laptop downstairs. I haven't used it in years. Never had putty on it, and now I only have the standard Windows Terminal that came with it. Unfortunate, because there was a time

I forget which downturn it was, but probably 30-40 years ago (before it was explicitly made illegal), I'd see want ads with an incredibly detailed list of requirements that would terminate with

Backblaze publishes their report of drive failures for drive reliability quarterly: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html HGST is usually the winner.

Re: A Question Was Cloud computing
I might also point out that: Smaller capacity drives are *generally* more reliable than larger due to the tolerances being looser. The difference is not always sufficient to warrant the extra disks

Re: Cloud computing (was Re: [Snorkack] Help with finding a Fic
Ah, I misunderstood then. Re-reading, you originally stated that serial ports were on most motherboards, including most modern ones, even if hidden as a header you have to plug a converter cable into.

No, it was my modem that fried, the computer's fine (it's now a server). I guess I should have been more clear. I do have a USB to serial cable that works with both; I just prefer to use a dedicated

Doubt it's a version issue. But you won't be offered the Serial option if Windoze doesn't see a serial port, either hardware or software via a driver.

Re: A Question Was Cloud computing
With RAID it pays to get the NAS rated disk (my synology has a list of disks it will accept and they are all NAS rated) I had at one point build a home brew RAID with regular disk. I had 3 go at

Re: Cloud computing (was Re: [Snorkack] Help with finding a Fic
Yeah, most internal and USB modems nowadays are soft-modems, where most of the hard work is done by the driver (aka Windows modems). These would be shit under the Linux variants (and most Windows

Then perhaps definitively stating that PuTTY doesn't support serial connections as you did here wasn't the wisest move you could have made. DaZZa DaZZa

Like I said, I hadn't updated the one on 98SE/XP in a long time. I thought I had newer versions on the newer computers. The one on the Vista/7 computer should be from around late 2008 or early 2009,

Re: A Question Was Cloud computing
If your budget is low, second hand server systems can be had cheaply that will handle RAID arrays well. You can turn them into NAS systems just by setting up the RAIS array, throwing your favourite

Susan. It depends how much storage you have, and where/how you want to access it.Oh, and how much money you want to spend. A cloud backup is perfectly fine - but if you want local backup as well, I

Mike, not sure where you are in the world, but between Linux users groups, freecycle groups and so forth, finding a modem of that type should be possible for a great deal less. If you are still
