<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>Greetings To GTALUG Members,</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Having gratefully received an avalanche of
helpful postings from GTALUG members, and based on that advice, I provide
below a summary of the revisions to the original specification of components,
for the new desktop PC.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please find attached a PDF summary of the revised
PC configuration:</FONT></DIV>

win7_PC_business_24_7_duty_bare_v2 - summary - Steve_Petrie -
20160811.pdf</FONT>>.</FONT></LI></UL>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The price may seem high, given that this is
not a gamer's PC. There is no video graphics support beyond that on
the Intel CPU.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This PC is a heavy-duty professional / business PC.
The objective of this PC is to provide fast performance, with the ability to run
cool and cruising (not struggling) under constant 24 / 7 duty. Also there is
provision for future expansion, without overtaxing cooling capacity or
power supply.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please note that the revised specification
attached, includes only the Windows 7 operating system, and makes no
mention of the Linux operating system. Omission of Linux is intentional, as
commercial system builders typically are only interested in shipping PCs with
Windows. So the plan is to do the Linux installation after the PC is received
from the builder.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am now going to request price quotations for the
PC as specified, from a number of commercial PC builders.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If no satisfactory commercial builder quotation
ensues (meaning: acceptable price and no component substitutions), then I will
likely resort to the build-it-yourself option, with kind help from
GTALUG. There is a hybrid build option: get the motherboard built
commercially, and then personally complete the build from there.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Increase the RAM size from 8 GB to 16 GB (2 x 8GB DIMM).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The ASRock Z97 Extreme6 motherboard has 4 DDR-3 slots, providing for
future memory expansion to the maximum 32 GB supported by the Intel
i5-4460 CPU.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>DIALUP MODEMS AND DSL (DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER
LINE)</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It appears that Linux (and Windows) are keeping up
support for: 1. USB dial up modems and 2. PPP network protocol, to enable
tethering of GSM phones to the OS, as dial up modems (for e.g. file
transfer).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Therefore it is very likely that the same support
(for USB dial up modems and PPP) on Linux, should also work on Linux with
a real USB dial up modem (e,g, USR5637 56K V.92 USB modem).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dial up modems today still find uses, in situations
where land line telephone service is the only wired Internet connection
available: 1. in some rural areas, and 2. with portable computers away
from home base, e.g. in hotel room. Also: some point-of-sale payment
transaction systems use dial up modems, for improved
security.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Terminology: "hard line" = "land line" = POTS
(plain old telephone service) = physical twisted pair of copper wires that
electrically connect a subscriber's equipment, to the remote telephone
exchange and thereby to the PSTN (public switched telephone
network).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Terminology: DSL (digital subscriber line) = ADSL
(asymmetric digital subscriber line), the "asymmetric" means that upstream
communications (from local to remote) and downstream communications (from
remote to local) use different frequency ranges (Up: 26.075 .. 137.825
kHz, Down: 138 .. 1104 kHz).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>DSL service can share the same hard line with
analog devices (e.g. telephone, dial up modem, fax machine) because DSL
uses much higher modulation frequencies (26.075 .. 1104 kHz) than do
conventional (human voice band) analog devices (0 .. 4 kHz).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>However, in order for DSL and analog devices to
share the same wire pair hard line without interference, the DSL modem
must be electrically isolated from the analog devices (and vice-versa), to
prevent mutual interference caused by secondary effects of signals
generated by the various devices on the line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The necessary isolation between the DSL modem and
the analog devices on the same wire pair line, is achieved by adding a DSL
filter between each analog device (e.g. telephone, dial up modem) and the
line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For convenience, a variation on the DSL filter,
called a DSL filter / splitter, provides two jacks on the same filter
device, one (unfiltered) jack for connecting the DSL modem and one
(filtered) jack for connecting an analog device (e.g. telphone, dial up
modem).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Adding decision complexity to a DSL service
acquisition, are availability of more modern DSL standards that offer
significantly higher speeds: ADSL2, VDSL and VDSL2.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Given that, with DSL service installed on the hard
line, it will still be feasible to continue to use on the same hard line,
the dial up modem on the existing Windows XP PC, why not go straight to
using DSL for the new Linux PC, and skip entirely any use of a dial up
modem (e.g. USR5637 56K V.92 USB modem) on the new PC?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Here are my reasons for first using a dial up modem
on the new Linux PC:</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>#1</STRONG> Postpone the non-trivial task
of: specifying and provisioning DSL service (service type decision, modem
selection, service implementation). DSL will be a too large distraction
from the main project, which is to get a Linux PC
working.<BR> </FONT>
<LI><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>#2</STRONG>. Simplify the task of setting
up the new Linux PC, by minimizing: 1. any changes to setup and
operation of existing Windows XP PC (dial up modem), and by minimizing:
2. any changes to existing Internet ISP connection facility (dial
up).<BR> </FONT>
<LI><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>#3</STRONG>. Save money ($25 / mo.):
postpone upgrade, from 56Kbps dial up (ISP $15 / mo), to 5Mbps DSL (ISP $40 /
mo);<BR> </FONT>
<LI><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>#4</STRONG>. Curiosity: Web browsing with
dial up modem on the existing Windows XP PC has grown to be painfully
slow with advent of larger and larger web page sizes. But pages always
used to load reliably, albeit slowly.<BR> <BR></FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>However, over the past few years, web page load performance
has steadily degraded, to the point where too many pages either quietly fail
to completely load on the first attempt, or fail to load with some
browser error message.<BR> <BR></FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So I plan
to find out, if the Linux PC can deliver a better web browsing experience over
a dial up Internet connection, than the very poor browsing experience on the
existing Windows XP PC.<BR> </FONT>
<LI><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>#5</STRONG> Even after I have upgraded the
Linux PC to use DSL for its regular Internet connectivity, I want to be
able occasionally to use a dial up modem Internet connection on the Linux PC.
Mainly for testing the responsiveness over dial up, of a new website I
am building.<BR> <BR></FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have set a
target maximum of 10 seconds response time for a page load, for a website
visitor using a browser over a dial up modem connection. There are still
plenty of people using dial up, whether out of frugality or poverty. And
I intend that the new website will treat these dial up users, with respect for
the value of their time.</FONT></LI></UL>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>VIDEO DISPLAY MONITOR AND
CABLE</STRONG>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Consider increasing the size of the video display
monitor, to allow for comfortable viewing with user's advancing age. The
present display monitor on the Windows XP PC is 17" diagonal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Therefore the 21.5" diagonal video monitor (LG
22MB35DM-I) specified for the new Linux PC, already provides a large
increase (4.5") viewing area diagonal over the Win XP PC monitor -- at a
price of $167.92.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>However, a 23.8" (LG 24MB35DM-B) monitor can be had
on amazon.ca for a price of only $195.00, so the decision is to upgrade
the monitor specified, to the 23.8" LG model from the 21.5" LG
model.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Video monitors of yet higher diagonal sizes are too
expensive for the budget.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Therefore upgrade the specification to an LG 24MB35DM-B 23.8" video
monitor.</DIV>

SILVERSTONE</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The case originally specified: Fractal Design
Define R5 (Black) has a door that covers the entire front of the
case. There is exposure to damage to an optical drive, if the optical
drive ejects a disc while the front door of the case is in the
way.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>SilverStone
TJ04-E was suggested as an alternative case. However, this venerable popular
model is no longer available. The successor <FONT size=2
face=Arial>SilverStone</FONT> model: SST-TJ04B-E does not seem to be nearly
as well made as the original TJ04-E. Numerous reviews on Anazon.com mention
flimsy material and construction. There are other SilverStone case models of
interest, but none as compelling in features as the Fractal Design Define
R5.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The decision is to use a Fractal Design Define R5
(Black) case with the front foor, as originally specified, and be very careful
always to keep the front door of this case wide open, so long as there is a disc
in the optical drive. (Good luck, Steve <STRONG>:)</STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>HDD BACKUP: PORTABLE USB DRIVE VERSUS MAGNETIC TAPE</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Magnetic tape has fallen out of favour for PC backup, being replaced by
portable USB drives. Tape is subject to heavy wear by helical-scan technology,
and inexpensive helical-scan drive models are no longer manufactured.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Abandon the idea of using a SCSI (helical-scan) tape drive for HDD backup,
and use portable USB drives for backup instead.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The drive selected is: Western Digital My Passport Ultra 1 TB Portable
External Hard Drive, Black (WDBGPU0010BBK-NESN).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This device is being acquired separately from the PC build. The DDS-3 DAT
drive on the existing Windows XP PC has just died. The plan is to switch
to using a portable USB drive to backup the Windows XP PC HDD, until the
new Linux PC is fully operational.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>GTALUG advice is that I should undertake
