Subj : Insurance And More To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Fri Jun 26 2020 15:53:00 Hi Daryl! BM> The problem is they were probably in the right: policy has to BM> specifically state the event is covered, and deductions, and the like. DS> Of course, that's in "the fine print", and as my late wife DS> noted, "printed with ant feet". BM> Upsetting, yes, DS> What was your first clue?? Boith BTDT and dealing with customers. BM> Step #1 is the usual reboot. Sometimes stuff gets stuck; rogue signal BM> interpreted as supposed to be a command but isn't, so the processor BM> gets confused. As for the router having only so many ports, BM> half-presuming Ethernet -- stick a hub on it. Or the IP addresses it BM> hands out? Depends on configuration but anywhere from the remaining of BM> the 256 addresses per network set to the address group assigned to the BM> device. DS> I tried that, but switched the cable to another available port, DS> and it worked. I had to get a serial to USB converter for the US DS> Robotics v92 56K external fax modem...then plug it into the USB DS> slot, for the Fax software to recognize it. Now, whether I can DS> get faxes on the line, remains to be seen. If I can, that'll be DS> great...and remind me of when I was still on dial-up...using that Yes - I haven't needed to FAX anything (either direction) in I don't know how long. Seems like PDF would be so much better but then there's also the issue of the telephone companies generally being stubborn and only guaranteeing their lines' data rate to 9600 baud. That is old information, and only for voice/data lines - don't know about the DSL. DS> The nice thing with this, is that they can send all the junk DS> faxes they want...no paper is wasted. Unfortunately, the Canon DS> MG-2100 printer I had quit working, so I swapped out the same DS> model that was on my late Mom's computer (where the BBS is now). DS> If I have to send a fax, I go to the local FedEx in west Little DS> Rock. Probably some free/begware FAX utilities out there. OK, so Googled "sending a FAX online free": free app utility -- looks like for cell phones and computers, though I'd be a hare wary of that type of app, especiallyh when in the legal and medicate information arenas. GMail will do (@FAX). BM> (Ended up missing was the router.) Was also told the signal was too BM> low: OK, quite possible. "Little things" weren't making sense: BM> especially that LED being off where the Ethernet cable plugged in. DS> Well, with getting the fax modem set up correctly, the FAX/ARQ DS> light flashes, so I know it's ready for calls. Whether or not DS> it'll take FAX calls remains to be seen. Publish your contact and find out!!! BM> anyone want to repair a rotary phone?! DS> Press 1 now, please. BM> I think Nancy said she has one. Still good for answering. :) DS> I saw a cartoon with a big rotary phone, and these 2 small DS> cellphones "came for a visit". The small phones saw the big DS> rotary phone, and exclaimed "Hi, Grandma!!" Yup! ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
