Subject:   Speed up Open Office load time.

The text below was posted on the EeePC news list and as such is aimed at 
the Linux version of Open Office, however these settings do appear to 
spped up the load of Ooo/eCS as well.

Cheers/2

gHack <http://www.ghacks dot net/2007/08/18/speed-up-open-office/> has 
posted a tip from Zolved 
<http://www.zolved dot com/synapse/view_content/28209/How_to_make_OpenOffice_run_faster_in_Ubuntu> 
on speeding up OpenOffice simply by editing some settings -

Start OpenOffice and click on Tools > Options to go to the configuration 
window. Click on Memory in the left menu and change the following settings:

* Number of Steps: 30
* Use for Open Office: 128
* Memory per Object: 20
* Number of Objects: 20

Click on Java in the left menu afterwards and uncheck Use a Java Runtime 
Environment.

Click OK and restart Open Office. It should now run faster.

Subject:   USB Modems and eCS

Hi all.

We've been doing some experiments here with an Optus Huawei E220 USB Modem
with broadband connection.

We have been unable to persuade eCS 1.2 to find the USB modem via the
USBCOM.SYS device.

Thus #2 son Chris hasn't been using the service under eCS but only under
Win or Linux (instructions for setup now forgotten).

We also tried the instructions for Injoy we found in the Voice article
online.

Has anyone succeeded in getting a USB modem working in eCS?
