Sage,
In pp5.6 I used http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/sylpheed-3.1.0-q1.pet to receive email over IMAP4
There are newer and older version in http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/

Agere modem driver firmware package upgraded |

peebee, and other testers,
I think I found why peebee had such trouble with the new driver. I corrected the cause in the firmware package, as well as making other bug fixes there. Please replace the previous version with the corrected version at the original place:

I go into more detail, there.

Booting 5.6 results in a blank screen with the monitor complaining "Input Not Supported". Adding "pfix=nox" to boot menu doesn't help. All recent versions, including 5.5, work OK.
Video card: Nvidia GeForce GT 520
Processor: Intel Dual-Core E6500
MENU.LST excerpt (Grub4DOS):
title Precise Puppy Linux 56 frugal install at sda1/p56
find --set-root /menu.lst
kernel /p56/vmlinuz psubdir=p56 pmedia=atahd pfix=nox
initrd /p56/initrd.gz
/// Edited a few minutes later:
P.S.: It works fine on my laptop, which is an MSI A4000, using an Intel T4300 CPU, GeForce 8200M Video.

zygo: many thanks for your comments. With Sky, they cloak their verbiage so that it becomes incomprehensible - I cannot even ascertain whether my friend is defaulted to IMAPI or POP. Their 'instructions' point to non-existent menus and options. Vince Cable got it right - this devil is in league with the Devil as well as the devil. No chance the proletariat will stop pouring their shekels into his coffers and avoid using his systems. Sadly, not all good things emanate from the antipodes...

Hi Richard
Same testing - pristine frugal install of Precise 5.6 k3.2.44 - install your 2 pets: new firmware + agere hda 11c1:1040 driver - reboot
lsmod shows both agrmodem and agrserial loaded
dmesg shows ttyAGS3 has been created
connect wizard shows ttyAGS3 available
HOWEVER
modem-stats -c ATI3 /dev/ttyAGS3
and
clicking the Test button in PupDial
both kill Precise stone dead - power off button needed to recover.
Would taking a camera shot of the screen after the crash help?
Cheers
PeeBee

Sage, Surely you don't mean MAPI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAPI in relation to mail. You haven't been using some other OS have you?

gexec bug Subject description: and use ? |
|
See screenshot
Note,
I did not really want to "run as root"
Unticked "run as root" I did not see any output of that command.
Ticking "run in terminal" makes no difference.
If I am running in terminal I do not need gexec at all.
So I am voting for "remove gexec from puppy" unless someone enlightened me how to use gexec

Regarding the Agere modem driver testing effort |
|
As you can see above, peebee reports that the HDA variant (agrsm-11c11040) of the driver crashes puppy. From the screen shot he sent me, I suspect the problem lies with the interface to the ALSA HDA driver or codec. I have not gone much beyond that, as I have not found clues, yet, on google.
The screen line of interest contains "findHDACodec+0x10/0x38 [agrmodem]"; 5 lines above it is "do_page_fault...". (I can use any help, at all, with this.)
But that probably affects only the HDA agrmodem driver. The two PCI variants should not have that problem, so need to be tested by someone who has one of the PCI Agere modems that use the drivers agrsm06pci or agrsm048pci.
Remember: they all require the new firmware_linux_module_agrmodem package.
Richard

Ok, removed from Precise.
