Re: [ECS] Where's the latest ECST update? Reddy Biggs Sun, 16 Aug 1998 20:46:25 -0500

OK, looking through the .TXT files there is SYSINV.TXT.

Is this file read by ECS, or is it merely a good idea to document your IRQs
and I/O ports?

At present, my ports are all OK. I don't see what convention is used for
identifying the IRQs and ports if this is a required file.

BTW, FREEPORT.EXE causes my system to reboot without reporting anything.
Both the old 1994 version that I had and the 1998 version that is in the ECS
package do this.

To remove the State-Log item subtypes, do we simply remove the line using a
text editor on ECS.CFG with Subtype or is the parameter filled with blanks.
(per update 122 and 292.)

Here is an example of how it looks now :
|Item:Log-Number                Type:State-Log
Acc:User/User
| Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
| Sub-Type     :Number
| File         :LOG.TMP

I assume the new Item would be:
|Item:Log-Number                Type:State-Log
Acc:User/User
| Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
| File         :LOG.TMP

The other updates to ECS.CFG are straightforward to me, although more
extensive than I had planned.

I am assuming here that the ECS.CFG files are similar between ECST and ECSW.
In fact, since the update documentation is the same, am I correct in
assuming that I can simply port over my ECS configuration to a new Win95
setup and it should work with relatively minor modifications?

If so, BRAVO MARK !!

And I'll try out ECSW sooner than I thought.

One last question.... Does ECSW have a suitable replacement for Bigmouth ??
I really do need to place pages over the Panasonic speakerphones.  And
connecting from the outside work is really nice. (Although leaving my
machine on full-time with a cable modem/Ethernet would be even better...

Thanks guys,
Reddy
