I found the article "Testing and tweaking broadband" in your March imue to be very interesting, but as with many others I' ve seen on the subject, it missed an important component that should be part of any dedsion. I travel occasionally with my notebook computer and need a dial-up connection in the hotel. When I checked a few months ago Sympatico offered 10 hours of free dial-up service across Canada, or at least up to the

B.C. border. The OHome service required

signing up for a $15 per month service with

a per-minute connection charge. Would you have made the same decision if you travelled with a notebook?

If we have a major complaint about the machine, it's that the Ethernet jacks for WAN and LAN connectivity all stick out of the font of the box, which isn't the most elegant solution. It's a functional and powerful device, however, so this is mostly a minor

issue in the grand scheme. As with the Dl-704, the Dl-713 comes with a lot of powerful features, induding full

control over access to and Rom the device, induding firewall capabilities, and tunneling

60 MAY 2001 1HE COMPUTER PAPER BC EDITION wwwconadscomputescom

(Default) Postscript Driver tucked away in the tut(lit(et>drivers>win95&98t subdirectory. You need that additional virtual printer to work with WordPerfect. Check the version before installing it. The version on my CD-ROM is 4.2.4. If that's the one you have, it has a bad habit of dropping the endings from words randomly throughout the document — for example, "cooling tow er." tower" could b ecome "cooli The newer drivers seem to have overcome that problem. Go to the Adobe Web site (blip://www.adobe.rom) and download version 4.3 or anything newer if they have it. To makea PDF from WordPerfert,you can select this Postscript driver as your printer. It knows what to do next. When you print to Acrobat, the disk drive comes to life and the Adobe Assistant icon appearsin the Windows taskbar tray.When it's finished, the Reader comes up and displays your document. It's quite interesting to

look closely at that display. Certain standard fonts are considered as being present on all Windows and Mac systems and when you use one of them, they will be printed as text. Many other fonts aren't considered as standardand they areconverted to an image, a picture of the font. It takes longer to print

graphicsthan texton screen and ifyou have a lot of non-standard fonts, the screen write

can be quite slow.

This tends to force you, whether you like it or not, to keep to Times New Roman and Ariel for the main text. The graphics are based on a 72-dpi screen resolution rather than a 300- or 600-dpi printer resolution. Your recipients will be able to print a good sharp image on a 600 dpi laser printer and if the graphics contain any cross-hatching, i t w i l l l oo k l i k e crosshatching. I' ve never found a sinrple way to extract a high-quality graphic image from a PDF 6le. It always ends up as a low-resolution graphic. In a way, that protects you from anyone who wants to use your 6gures for their own

purposes. Adobe's free distribution policy for the (trader has made the PDF a universal standard for sending manuals, reports, and technical literature. If you decide to make and distribute your own PDfs, you don't have to worry about whether your recipients will be able to open and read your files. Most people have the

Reader installed on their PC and will be able to seewhat you prepared exactly asyou prepared it. I include PDF documents on my Web site, readyfor anyone in the world to read. How do I handle European and North American

paper sizes? Each user can tick off the box in Continued on page65

A record crowd turned out for this year' Towne Hall , peppering the experts with questionson privacy and security of wiretess data. the possible health risks oftoo much broadcast energy (the experts concluded that the ri sks appear minimal, but still deserve further study), the availability of wireless Internet service outside major urban centres (not without the infrastructure, they said), and much else. One ofthe major areas of concern for both the panetisH and the Towne Hallattendees was the jumble of incompatible wireless technologies that still exist around the world and eve within Canada, The panelists agreed that untilthe standards debateis settled, probably in the next two to four years, the usefulness of wireless networking will be inhibited. On the trade show Roor, one of the most exdtingnew pmduct lineswas the fi rst wave of USB 2 .0 interfaces and peri pherals thatwe have seen.

New fibre-optic network for Alberta

GOLDTREE

esid ents between Edmonton and Grande Prairi e,rkita., may soon have a greater choice of high-speed Internet service praviders (ISPs), thanks to an enterprising network builder. In late March. Total Telcom Inc. said its Optronic network is "open for broadband business." Total buiit this fibre-optic snake with its subsidiary, Total Telcom Fiber Inc. Until now,"the only real option (for broadband service) was through Talus," said Craig Baker, Total's executive vice-president, duriing a telephone interview. "But... in remote areas it hasn' t been really good service." Like many telecommunications firms offering high-speed senrice, Talus had a problem with reach," Craig said. Broadband via phone lines (AOSL) are as only good as a customer's distance to the central oflice. If the customer is more than 5 km away from the central of)i«e, the Internet connection speed is seriously hindered. Craig said Total has done away with this trouble. The company installed OC-12 electronics (from Lucent Technologies inc.) capable of cranking zippy service to 336 Ti more lines than— enough for Total's prospective clients. "The capacity of these fi bres are scalable and can be increased substantially as customer demand dictates," reads a Total press release. ISPs.cable companies and other data carriers count as Total's customer base.Once the network creator completes its deals with these people (Craig said Total is in negotiations) the inhabitants af Grande Prairie could have a wider choice of high-speed providers. Thismight be good news forthe rity.It'sgoing "cyber" these days with an initiative to bring universal interactive access to data and information" within its walls, according to the municipality's Web site. Totalsaysthis network could bring in as much as 5500,000-per-month,so long as everything goes according to plan. Craig said the company's looking for carriers to bring the fibre to residuum' homes.

fyou create dynami«Web sites,chancesare you' ve heard of PHP. Like ASP, JSP and Coldfusion, it is a language that allows Webmastersto embed processing and input tasks directly into Web pages, instead of througha CGI scri pt. What makes PHP diff erent from the other optionsisthatit is both open-source and crossplatform compatible.

In terms of PHP fundamentals,you can't get much more«ondse than this. Written by the creator of PHP, Rasmus Lerdorf, this slim volume outl ines the basic syntax and structure of PHP, and includes a mini-tutorial on using it. This is fogowed by an extensive listing of standard PHP functions, accompanied by bri ef descriptions of how they work. Unfortunately, there are several knocks againstthis book.It wa s published prior to the release of PHP4,the most recent version of PHP, so it is not as up-to-date as it could be. Whileit would have added some bulk,the inclusion of a line or two of sample code after a description (some descriptions for the functions are in fact shorter than the functions themselves) would make this text much more usefuL However,the worst part of the book is that thereis no table of contents,and— moredamnIflg — no olden. Thisbegs the question ofhow handy this slim volume would be since it is hard to find the function you are trying to look up. In short, this is an OR reference for someone already famibar with programming fundamentals.However,ifyou have a good Internet connection, you will likely get more out of the full manualthan can be found athsp//www.php.nei. Look for a more comprehensive PHP book from O'ReiRy later this year. IJ
