I'm running Fedora core 3 speakup 2nd release and haven't been able to 
figure out how to access either my sound card or parallel port 250MB zip 
drive.  If possible with udev, I'd like to have the access rules on the 
zip drive set so if the computer goes out onto the internet access to the 
zip drive also closes down completely.  When the computer is not out on 
the internet, then access should be open to root and other users.  The 
sound card needs to be accessible on and off the internet so listening to 
streaming media remains possible.  Any ideas on how to accomplish this 
will be tried out and if those work will be summarized here for future use 
of the list.  By access closing down to the zip drive when going out onto 
the internet, I'd like to have access already closed off before a 
connection is made.  I can write shell scripts if necessary as wrappers, 
but ifconfig changing port status is already very restricted by default on 
these systems.
