tteraterm
by David Mehler 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Hello, Is anyone using tteraterm for telnet/ssh connections to remote computers? If so, what version? I'm looking to install on another machine for a client who does not want to pay for something like SecureCRT and so was looking for tteraterm. I found the original site but that's from over 12 years ago. I've heard rumors of an updated version but came up empty in my search. If anyone has any information i'd appreciate it. Oh, this client will be using the latest snapshot of NVDA as the screen reader. Thanks. Dave.

How to perform fully unattended Windows 7 installation
by Mgr. Janusz Chmiel 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Good morning, I would like to inform You about excellent program, which is able to modifi Windows7 CD so it can be used for performing fully unattended installation. The name of The program for creating fully unattended bootable Windows 7 iso images is RT 7 Lite This program can be really used for creating fully unattended Windows 7 installations. Drivers can be integrated while using this program. I AM recommending all visually impaired users to use latest awailable Supernova screen reader for using this program. Because Supernova is able to automatically report The name of editable fields while using RT 7 Lit. The program is even offering The feature to copy customized Windows7 installation to USB flashdisk and program is making this flashdisk bootable, It can even format this flash drive. The created flash disk can be used even for performing fully unattended installations if user is running Windows XP and user is running The installer inside this operating system with his favourite screen reader. Bootable flashdisk and bootable DVD can be ofcourse used also for performing unattended installation if harddrive is empty and user is booting from The bootable DVD or USB flashdisk. The disadvantage of this procedure is, that some older computers are requiring user to load some harddrive drivers, so for example, i have been able to perform unattended installation of Windows 7 Ultimate edition only, if i have been executed The installer from running Windows XP. After reboot, installer worked fully automatically. The issue is, that eventhough Windows7 is containing many sound drivers, in some cases, one integrated sound chip can be recognized by using two drivers and The sound chip is not working properly, so NVDA or other screen readers can not be used. I have been using IBM Thinkpat model 2668 for this test. Te name of integrated sound cart is Soundmax integrated digital audio. I had to please my sighted mother to choose The right sound cart, drivers are included for this sound chip in The WIndows7, but user must choose The right detected cart. If somebody of us would like to perform fully unattended installation of Windows 2000, 2003, XP, I AM strongly recommending YOu to use The excellent program Windows Unattended CD creator. Do not be afraid, eventhough it is signed as A BETA application, is working excellently. Please also do not forget, that installer of WIndows XP is automatically browsing The floppy drives for finding The diskette with file winnt.sif extension. If installer will find The required file, installer can work in The fully unattended mode by using original not customized WIndows XP installation CD. Ofcourse, winnt.sif must contain required lines of text to instruct The installer how to work in fully unattended mode. The only issue is, that user can not automatically install required drivers, because installer anticipants, that The driver folder $OEM$ will be located on The installation media. So installing drivers can be performed only, if user will use customized WIndows XP media. There is also Nlite application, which is integrating The drivers to The .cab files. -- Mgr. Janusz Chmiel

migrating imap messages to new server
by David Mehler 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hello, I've got two imap servers one old, one new. The old one has messages on it that i'd like to get on to the new one for several users. Both servers are using open source software, postfix for the MTA and Dovecot for the imap server. If anyone knows how to pull this off I'd like to know about it. I would try copying them,but doubt it's that simple, I want to preserve their dates, times, and attributes. Thanks. Dave.

Email authentication problems, home pop3
by Barry Toner 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi, I've a machine here with a btinternet.com address, that has been spotty on authenticating for a few weeks. The wife to be finally got fed up and nabbed me to go fix. Here's what I've tried 1. Delete and re-enter the email account information. 2. Going online to change the account password. 3. Trying to re-enter the new account password. 4. Creating a new Outlook profile, and putting the email account into it. 5. For giggles using their ISP help software, and letting it automatically enter the information. it still fails on the pw authentication 6. Ringing the lovely people at the outsourced call centre. Explaining the above steps and having the guy go, "Uh" "Then having him change the pw". Still nothing working. Thoughts? Regards, Barry.
