Subject:	SCOUG-General: SCOUG meeting April 21: SNMP, auction, and more

Content Type: text/plain

The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be next Saturday, April 21, 2001 at 9:00 AM PDT, at Regal Lanes in
Orange, 1485 N. Tustin Ave.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), Special Auction, and more!

Ah, were it really simple! Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
is a tool for monitoring and configuring devices that are part of a
network by communicating with them over the network itself. Come find
out about SNMP from our very own Dallas Legan. He recently presented a
tutorial on SNMP to the Unix Users' Association of Southern California
(UUASC). His presentation to us won't be quite as technical, but
you'll come away understanding the basics.

There will be a special auction! We will auction off a CD-ROM jukebox
to the highest bidder. The jukebox is a commercial-quality 100-disk
capacity changer with a SCSI interface CD-ROM drive. It is all in one
piece and works. SCOUG purchased the unit with the idea to convert it
to a CD-RW drive and use it to burn the SCOUG CD of the Month in mass
quantities. Unfortunately, we were unable to create a mounting bracket
that would support the CD-RW drives we had available. So we are now
making the jukebox available to a lucky SCOUG member. As an added
bonus, Rollin White will provide code that makes the changer operate
with OS/2. This is in addition to the Windows code that came with the
unit. Come to the SCOUG meeting ready to bid!

Also, we have club business to consider. We also expect to hear a lot
more about what's being done to quantify and resolve the club's legal
status and responsibilities. This month's President's Message
(http://www.scoug.com/os24u/2001/scoug004.pres.html) will give you some
background and information before the meeting.

We anticipate also that SCOUG's annual elections will take place during
the meeting. Information about the elections will be updated as it
becomes available; check at http://www.scoug.com/elections.html

We'll also have Q&A, a raffle, and then the Saturday SIG meetings:

Sundial SIG: Lynn Maxson will take the SIG on a general look at formulas
with specifics from Mesa 2 and DBExpert. Join the SIG's new mailing
list (details at http://www.scoug.com/maillist.html) to find out more.

Programming SIG: Terry Warren will continue with (and possibly finishing)
his overview of TCP/IP.

Help Desk chats now happen on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PDT. If you've
got a problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help.
For further info, go to http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html

Sunday, May 6, 2:30 PM PDT meetings at Chapman University, Orange:

OS/2 Help Desk: Got problems with your system? Volunteers at the OS/2
Help Desk will help you solve them. Bring your system and all related
hardware and software, along with a detailed explanation of your problem.

Networking SIG: Will be providing help to members setting up a peer network
and connecting their local LAN to the Internet via a cable modem connection,
DSL connection, or a dial-up connection via an ISP.

How to get to Regal Lanes:

From the 55 freeway, exit Katella Ave. heading west. Turn right (north)
at the first major intersection onto Tustin Ave. At the next signal
you'll find Regal Lanes on your right. It's across from the Toyota of
Orange dealership.

There's lots of parking on the south side of the building. Enter from
the east entrance of the building (farthest from Tustin Ave.), not the
main (front) entrance to the facility. Take the stairs to the 2nd
floor; meeting rooms (and restrooms) will be on your left.

Handicapped access is via an elevator by the front door.

OR: Go to http://www.scoug.com/directions.html; there is a map to Regal
Lanes, plus a more detailed map & driving directions from Yahoo!

How to get to Chapman University:

There are two ways to get directions:
1) Go to http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest/sitemap.html
2) Go to http://www.mapquest.com/ and enter the address 400 N. Center
Street, Orange, CA.

You can park in any of the University lots for free on Sundays, but if
you part on the street, watch the signs carefully or else risk getting
a parking ticket.

Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. It's on the second
floor and there's an elevator for you to bring up your equipment.

Come and join us!
