(Incidentally, I find myself wondering whether the columnist knows the
derivation of the technical term ``modem'' - see the 6th paragraph of
his article. My major point is that I wonder whether either the
columnist or the people of the project he describes have heard of Plan
9.)

Also, I see that the columnist writes that the claimed inventor of the
modem ``released his code to the pubic [sic] domain''.

Um, Ward Christensen did in fact which xmodem, which was called
"modem.asm" originally--that is, a "program called modem" in the words
of the column. The columnist might well not know
"modulator/demodulator", but Christensen did actually write the
described program, which was a key step in the development of the BBS
culture.
So the columnist does seem to be a bit ignorant of True History, but
still, didn't get wrong the basic facts that he relates.

Hi, friends,
I am still so stupid I can't mount my ext2 partition. It resides on /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdd1 (Linux notification).
I did:
disk/fdisk -p /dev/sdC0/data > /dev/sdC0/ctl
here is a listing:
term% ls -l /dev/sdC0/
--rw-r----- S 0 pac pac 0 Mar 27 2001 /dev/sdC0/ctl
--rw-r----- S 0 pac pac 4311982080 Mar 27 2001 /dev/sdC0/data
--rw-r----- S 0 pac pac 4096157184 Mar 27 2001 /dev/sdC0/linux
--rw-r----- S 0 pac pac 213857280 Mar 27 2001 /dev/sdC0/linuxswap
--rw-rw-rw- S 0 pac pac 0 Mar 27 2001 /dev/sdC0/log
--rw-rw-rw- S 0 pac pac 0 Mar 27 2001 /dev/sdC0/raw
term%
Then I tried to mount the linux partition
mount /srv/ext2 /n/c: /dev/sdC0/linux
but
term% ls -l /n/c:
term%
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Could anybody show me, step by step, what should I do to mount an ext2 partition under Plan 9, please?
Apologies for being so stupid.
Thanks in advance,
++pac
