Subject: MemoNews v1.2
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 13:17:23 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I'd like to announce a new version of MemoNews. It's at:
http://www.ee.usyd.edu.au/~hutton
MemoNews is a perl program that gathers nntp news (what you're now
reading), threads the articles alphabetically, and packs them into the
MemoPad for offline reading/replying. It can handle multiple newsgroups,
posting, and has automatic expiration of articles. It was written under
Linux but seems to work with other unixes just as well.
Changes from 1.0:
MemoNews is now much better at replies as it now has a simple quotation
system in place.
The threading mechanism has also been improved.
Changes from 1.1:
MemoNews now supports a sigfile and automatic reply address
configuration. This makes posting a bit simpler.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I've now released version 1.23 of my Plug and Play ISA configuration tools.
They cover isolation, dumping resource data, and configuring ISA PnP devices.
The tools I wrote for this _will_ eventually be on
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/unix/linux/utils/isapnptools-1.23.tgz (215274 bytes),
ftp://MetaLab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/hardware/isapnptools-1.23.tgz,
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/Linux/sources/sbin/isapnptools-1.23.src.tar.gz,
ftp://ftp.lmh.ox.ac.uk/pub/linux/pnp/isapnptools-1.23.tgz
(And various mirror sites shortly afterwards).
isapnptools-1.23.lsm in the same directory is simply the LSM entry for isapnptools.
isapnptools-1.23.bin.tgz (369107 bytes) in the same directory also includes precompiled
binaries (DOS and libc5).
I've uploaded them, but they may take a day or two to reach their final home.
The latest version is available now via the link on the isapnptools home
page: http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/, as is a list of the
md5 checksums for each package.
The isapnptools FAQ is available via the home page above.
Here is the LSM entry:

Title: isapnptools
Version: 1.23
Entered-date: 2000-07-25
Description: ISA plug and play configuration utility
Two programs - one allows the dumping of resource data and generation
of a skeleton configuration file, the other configures ISA PnP hardware
using a configuration file.
See http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/ for latest information.
Keywords: ISA PnP Configuration Hardware

Reply-To: markus.enzenberger@t-online.de (Markus Enzenberger)
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Noffle is a news (nntp) server optimized for few users and low speed dial-up
connections to the Internet.
It can add offline-reading capabilities to existing news readers.
Noffle is written for the GNU/Linux operating system and freely
available under the terms of the GPL.
The latest pre-stable version is 1.0pre7.
Noffle is available from its project page at SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=1044
Latest canges:
* Fixed a bug that caused noffle to hang with some readers (like tin/Gnus).
* Fix bug with time of last server access for setups with multiple servers.
You must re-run 'noffle --query groups'.
* Remove '--query times'.
* Fix date printing bug. Now works in all(?) timezones.
* Fix bug with 'XHDR <msgId>'. Add 'XPAT <msgId>'.
* Allow post to local moderated group if 'Approved:' header present.
Thanks to all developers, contributors and
all users helping with bug reports and feedback.

Subject: ipgrab 0.9-pre5 - packet sniffer
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 13:12:46 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
IPgrab version 0.9 pre-release 5 is now available for download.
We expect that this will be the final pre-release before the 0.9
full release.
New features since 0.8.2:
- - Complete redesign of the architectures, including new APIs
making the system easily extensible for new protocols
and modules.
- - "minimal mode" for brief (single line per packet) output.
- - IPv6 support, including ICMPv6 and RIPv6
- - Initial support for SLP, SNMP and OSPF
The code is very robust currently. Testing is encouraged.
Download it at: http://download.sourceforge.net/ipgrab/ipgrab-0.9-pre5.tar.gz
The project home page is at http://ipgrab.sourceforge.net
