[App_rpt-users] Culling Linux Services (ACID)

[John Heron]

It begs the question on what hardware really works 100% and what does not. I
ran into this years ago running a global pactor III network and finally had
to goto a acceptable hardware list as some hardware came real close to being
fully compatible but would sporadically do weird things for no apparent
reason... a bad thing when the box is in remote jungle locations... It boils
down to who has had the least amount of issues with motherboard a vs. b and
so on...

I am looking at small micro ATX form factors for example... anybody have
suggestions for a inexpensive repeatable reliable solution?

Michael,
I still have not figured out what causes this issue.
I have tried adding two different NEC chipset USB PCI boards and that made
it much worse on my ASUS mother boards. I believe I have pretty much
exhausted all options at this point. I just don't know why all 8 of my boxes
2.8 GHZ (all Asus) do this. I went to slower boxes (even down to 400 Mhz)
and I don't get this issue.. Go figure.
There has to be some other underlying issue where perhaps and interrupt is
being messed with or some other issue. I just can't pin it down.
I am working out a trade for some slower boxes in exchange for these
machines as a solution for now.
Sorry I wish I had a better answer.

Hi Everybody,

In an effort to make node 27871 a lean, mean, fighting machine... I'm 
trying to keep things neat and tidy by stopping any services that have 
no direct impact on the operation of the node.

I'm after input on what others have done on their own AllStarLink nodes.

I have done a similar thing on my Icom G2 D-Star gateway... going 
through and disabling services (like bluetooth, VNC, smartcard, IPv6, etc).

On a side note, has anyone found a definitive cause for the occasional 
motorboating/stuttering audio when an AllStarNode transmits?  I have 
another machine that I can use, but I would like to know what causes it 
and how it can be eliminated or reduced. This is the only thing that has 
marred an otherwise perfect experience with my AllStarLink node.

Michael.
