`31.Jan.2003` Maja (ANF)	Network from the socket At this Cebit the company devolo from Aachen will introduce its new product "devolo MicroLink LAN" (title link) to the market. With this device it should be possible to realize a DSL network over the mains supply of the house - without boring holes or pulling cables. "Simply put it in the socket and connect it with an Ethernet card on the PC." According to the documentation a bit rate of up to 14Mbit in a circuit of 200 m is possible. The data transfer is described as safe. The electric meter is supposed to work as a firewall and a DES encoding with a 56 bit key will be used. The device has a driver. All operating systems like Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and all TCP/IP operating systems will work with it. Maybe the Amiga, too...? (ps) (Translation: dr) [News message: 31.

`30.Jan.2003` VMC Harald Frank (ANF)	TV-Card Software: AmithlonTV Beta 245 Guido Mersmann has released beta-version 245 of the TV-Card driver software AmithlonTV. New in this version: WARNING! Due the latest changes I cleared the libs/tvcard_carddata/ drawer. If you perform a fresh installation just drag and drop the required tv card file(s) from the storage_carddata into the tvcard_carddata drawer. This change was required, because several cards are using the same hardware ids, but they also need a different setup. FEATURE: Added the missing global setup which is required for non card specific drivers like audio mixers. FEATURE: Optional Volume_AmiMixer.lib allows to modify the volume within applications (requires amimixer.library). BUGFIX: TVFakeInterrupt() wasn't working correct in special cases. FEATURE: The missing "Notify" interrupt feature implemented. "Volume_AmiMixer.lib" enhanced to support this feature. BUGFIX: Removed the ghost card which appeared with the bt8x8 audio section and the Philips enhancement. Currently the section will be suppressed by the library. Later this will be handled by the configuration, but currently this is the best solution. Download: AmithlonTVBeta.lha (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 30.
