Every day, I find information online that helps me solve a mystery. So this is me giving back to the community. Thanks for stopping by.. and don't forget to tell your friends!
Wanted: QoS and VPN firewall router
After much research, I've discovered that there is no hardware solution to match using VoIP with QoS and VPN capabilities.
Customer was wanting to sign up with Vonage for long distance service, but also establish a VPN from the remote office back to the corporate office. Both devices would be required to be connected to the DSL modem. A single hardware solution does not exist.
I have proposed a software VPN solution between key PCs. The Vonage box should now have no trouble bordering the internet and controlling traffic.
(btw, Vonage phone support is horrible)

Display session fails to connect
If your AS/400 Client Access display session opens, but only shows a black screen without the cursor flashing, try this:
Click Communication on the menu bar
Click Connect
If this works, go back and click Autoconnect to have the session connect automatically when opened.
Usually, autoconnect is enabled by default, but it can get turned off (somehow) and ends up costing a service call.

Fax Confirmation (aka: Fax Call Report )
"Fax confirmation" is a very difficult item to locate in the
HP LaserJet 3390 manual. "Fax call report" is easier to find, but is a little confusing to configure.
Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?
The following information is quoted from the service manual:
On the all-in-one control panel, press Menu .
Use the < or the > button to select Reports , and then press (check).
Use the < or the > button to select Fax Call report , and then press (check).
Press the > button to select Print report , and then press (check).
Use the < or the > button to select the option for when you want the fax call reports to be printed.
Press (check) to save your selection.
Send fax only is the correct selection for printing confirmation pages for only sent faxes. (what exactly is the point of printing a confirmation for received faxes??)
This multi-function printer also offers faxing from the desktop of multiple Windows PCs with the convenience of a shared address book (fax-dress book?).

Great add-on for Windows Mobile
Definitely a
must have for Windows Mobile 5.0 !! I simply can not understand why there is no included utility for switching and closing programs. Clicking the little X appears to close programs, but they keep running for some reason.
Enter Pocket Nav and easily switch between programs or terminate a rogue application on the loose! With it's nifty little lightening bolt and easy access to other advanced options, Pocket Nav will quickly become your most commonly used mobile utility.
Quoted from Scott's CE Applications (the author's page):
Pocket Nav is a Task Switcher for Windows CE and Pocket PC's. It allows you to close any program, and on the pocket pc's it also gives one tap access to the desktop at any point.
(Palm Page didn't quite work the way I expected, but it is listed on the page so I tried it first.)
Here's the steps I like to follow when setting this up:
Download pocketnav.zip and extract the files. Look at the extracted files and the one you want has a little lightening bolt. Right click the file and choose cut . Navigate to the Program Files folder, right click and choose paste . Right click the file again and choose copy . Navigate to the Windows\StartUp folder. Right click and choose paste as shortcut . Right click the new shortcut and choose rename . Edit off Shortcut to to make it look better. Now the program will automatically start after rebooting. Double click your new shortcut to start the program. There should now be a little lightening bolt in the top right hand corner of your screen. Click it and have fun!

3gp Ubuntu
Ubuntu has this nifty little feature where it shows a thumbnail of movies which is a great tool in locating a particular video. I've actually uncovered a few untitled videos that had been somewhat misplaced and forgotten. Without making any modifications, Ubuntu plays video recordings from my
Motorola Slvr L7 cell phone, but there is no sound :(
After doing a quick bit of searching on Google, I download and install
Mobile Media Converter and easily batch convert all my phone videos into MPG format with sound!
Not completely impressive, but then I got a wild hair to go the other way. I grabbed an old MPG and converted it using the same tool, but this time to 3GP and then copied it to my phone. It sure was neat to watch videos that are several years old being played just fine on my cell phone.
This thread is where I got the tip for the program. I had actually been searching for a way to play the 3GP files with sound as this thread describes, but I didn't get that far tonight.
Mike Rowehl: This is Mobility has some good info, but I'm going to bed. (sorry ~!)
