Yet Another Seti/Dialup Topic

I searched back on this but didn't find a definitive answer. If I set up the cli with SetiDriver on my opa's (grandfather's) computer which is connected with dial-up, can I make the driver flush automatically when he connects to the internet? I really don't want to ask him to manually transmit all the time.

Links or explanations welcome, thanks

ps. there's a p42.5 or so (I think) in this for the team 🙂
 
i'm sure someone will have a definitive answer, but i know for sure that the client tries once an hour to return results... just tell him if he's ever online, be sure to be online for at least an hour each time?

Well, once an hour would probably be good enough, it'd happen often enough just by pure luck. As long as it's not a big deal to potentially have a wu cut off mid transmission.

I will also look into Setihide, have no idea what that is right now, but I can learn 🙂
 
I have SETIDriver on 2 remote systems just set to auto-transmit, the client will just sit waiting to transmit and will retry every hour until it connects, usually by chance 🙂
Just make sure to have a nice cache of WU's if he doesent go online for an hour very often 😉
 
sweet, just got permission

however he doesn't have his computer on for more than a few hours a day and I can't really ask him to leave it running simply because of the power requirements. so it probably won't run out of wu's real fast

but, as they say, every work unit counts
 
Yes, they do all count 🙂

I also run my remote systems through my Q on a dedicated port, so i can monitor them easily 😉
 
Freewolf,

I just had a glance at the SetiHide manual. Looks good but there's two things I don't like.

First I didn't see an option to point it at a SetiQ. As I live nowhere near this machine I would like to be able to monitor it through paf077's queue (which I use for my own machines).

Second, the 'offline mode' which is for dial-up connections said that it won't flush until you tell it to.

Let me know if I'm wrong on these points.
 
#1 yes you can point it to a q and #2 if you leave it online it will keep trying to connect until it recieves a connection and sends the data. I've had problems with seti driver hanging when it couldn't connect and just sit there until it ran out of work units.
 
in online mode will it actually trigger the dial-up? or will it just see if it has a connection and do it's thing if it does?

As it's his only phoneline I really couldn't have it potentially dialing when he doesn't know about it

Whenever he logs on, it'll connect; never by itself.

My uncle has a sweet gateway media center with a 3.0ht processer:Q, but he only uses it to surf, + whenever he or his roommate wants to watch television. I can't believe he could spend the big bucks on a media center, but be too cheap to get broadband😱. So every other day when he dials up, the system flushed 2-3 wus. Like everyone has said, It isn't much, but every little bit helps.🙂
