TCP/IP Ports JDBC-mSQL Security
I'm a newbie to Linux and I've run into a problem that I can't figure out. I'm using my ISP's Debian 1.1 system and mSQL with the JDBC-mSQL driver via my shell account. I've set up an mSQL database and can query it succesfully with mSQL tools, but I haven't successfully connected with JDBC yet, not even with a local connection. I've checked the host URL and I'm pretty certain I have it correct. I asked my ISP's SysAdmin about why could one locally running program access the database, but not another. He said something about there being TCP/IP Port security set up within inetd that he'd have to change -- and that he didn't have any time to do anything about it -- so I'm dead in the water. But while I'm twiddling my thumbs I'm still wondering if this is the correct explanation. Like maybe there's something I'm missing here and I could get it running without the SysAdmin making TCP/IP ports publically available (I can understand his reluctance, but it leaves me up the creek). Obviously there's a lot I don't know, so I'm not sure if I've even given enough info for y'all to help me or if I've confused things by the way I've framed the question. Maybe if someone asks me the right questions I'll be able to answer them and get on the right track. I'm really in the dark here and I'd really appreciate any help or insights anyone could provide.

Re: Making modem talk 3........................
Oh, we're almost there. That's just the info we need. Now, you need to create your /etc/isapnp.conf file. The easiest way to do this is to have the pnpdump command create a template file for you. As root run: pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf You'll then edit the file. Basically, your modem can be set up with a number of different IO and IRQ values. You just have to tell it which one. pnpdump will create the config file, with all possible values but commented out. You just need to uncomment the right lines (and possible edit the lines a bit) and then run '/etc/init.d/isapnp start'. If you're brave and confident go ahead and try this. If you get muddled with the config file come on back. Phillip Neumann wrote: Hi, again..

Re: dual boot?? win98???
I use System Commander (v3) also and I think it's a really great piece of software. Haven't tried v4, which gives you the functionality of Partition Magic built in. It's much prettier than lilo. It brings up a nice colorful iconified menu and plays a cute sound and you can configure it to do a number of things like manage which partitions are visible to which OSes, provide additional boot time security, display a graphical timeout to OS selection bar, etc., etc. It can provide different system configuration files to different OSes or different configurations of the same OS on the same partition, so you could boot DOS on the first primary partition with one autoexec.bat file that includes win and another one that doesn't, and have a DOS and a Windows 3.11 entry in the menu, for example. I'm trying to think of good features to mention off the top of my head, there are a lot. If you install A LOT of different OSes, System Commander will serve you better than lilo, as you can pretty much install and boot any OS on any partition hassle free and manage them. But for *just* win/linux/dos I guess you'll be fine with lilo and you can use the cash to buy more RAM. I've had hamm, RH 5.1, NT 4.0, NT 5.0, Win 98, Win 95, DOS, and DOS w/ win 3.11 all installed at the same time, but found that all I ever use is Win 95 and hamm, so I removed all of them except for Win 95, hamm, and DOS on a 16mb partition which I need for firmware updates and for System Commander itself. Win 95 is next to go to :) I thought Red Hat 5.1 was nice, but you really need to get the CD if you want to install it right, as they make getting it via ftp a HUGE hassle. And you need to D/L like 50mb+ files just for the base system it seems, and it's a large number of files to, not just big tarball. And the package management sucks if you don't actually have ALL the RPMs on a mounted medium, because it will spit error after error at you unless you edit a file similar to Debian's Packages.gz by hand, which is a real pain. Red Hat's web site is more like a big advertisement to, Debian's is s much nicer. It lets you get to the meat right away, and there's more, better meat to. :) It does seem though that Red Hat is the first to get cool new software in RPMs, or the latest version. They've had Enlightenment and Gnome RPMs for some time now, and they also get to use xfsft instead of the xfstt we are stuck with, and appears will be for a good while.

laptop - Digital HiNote Ultra 2000
Hi, I am just installing debian on a new laptop. I've come across a couple of problems so far. 1. When rebooting, it unmounts the disks and everything, and then just hangs. It doesn't reboot. This is particularly annoying because to do a hardware reboot, I need to remove the keyboard. 2. The installation instructions told me to disable shadow ram in BIOS - but the bios menus didn't allow me to. Is this important? 3. The laptop came with an integrated 10/100BaseT Ethernet and 56K Modem Xircom Combo card. Documentation doesn't say which port it is connected to, but windows 95 says it's on COM4.

(from sendmail -V) I use the smarthost option; however, the smailconfig program does not do the job correctly for a typical dial-up isp account. The resulting configuration fails when you want to send email to a user on your isp. You have to edit /etc/smail/config to make that work. Does this setup allow Smail to queue all non-local mail, until the link to the ISP becomes available? Perhaps due to my ignorance, I could only get smail to queue _all_ mail or queue _none_. If none, then smail generates an error message (observe with a mailq) but queues the non-local mail until the system does a runq. If all, then all mail is queued until a runq. The only apparent difference for non-local mail sent while off-line is the error message in the queue. I use the queue_only option since I don't email myself often. :) runq is executed frequently but only during ppp connections -- system messages will still get delivered locally. How do you allow for the change of return email address when sending non-local mail? As wouldn't just setting the return address affect local mail as well. The following setup in /etc/smail/config, where klis.com is the domain of the isp (visible_name), works to give the correct return address so that replies can be routed through the isp pop-mail server (provided the user name is the same on both systems -- without the intervention of additional pop client configuration). Local mail works fine this way. queue_only visible_name=klis.com more_hostnames=localhost -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jack Kern Yarmouth, Nova Scotia Debian GNU/Linux -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Making modem talk 4........................
Hi, YES, i (we) made it. My modem is making noises !!! But i bougth my modems not to do some noise, but to conect to internet. I have try the dip utility, but i dont like it very much. Maybe the problem is not from dip (and im almost sure the problem isnt from dip), but when i log to my ISP it is extreamly slow. i must wait about 1 minute to write my login and password!! How can i resolve this?? And can you recomend me a good ppp dialer (i prefer a Xwindow diales) ?? PD: I guess all this (pnp) configuration stuff goes to my soudcard too isnt? T H A N K S Phillip Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oh, we're almost there. That's just the info we need. Now, you need to create your /etc/isapnp.conf file. The easiest way to do this is to have the pnpdump command create a template file for you. As root run: pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf You'll then edit the file. Basically, your modem can be set up with a number of different IO and IRQ values. You just have to tell it which one. pnpdump will create the config file, with all possible values but commented out. You just need to uncomment the right lines (and possible edit the lines a bit) and then run '/etc/init.d/isapnp start'. If you're brave and confident go ahead and try this. If you get muddled with the config file come on back. Phillip Neumann wrote: Hi, again..

GIMP seems to have hung SCSI bus??
Ok, here's a weird one: I started GIMP today, and while it was trying to load a plug-in, my Zip started spinning non-stop. I did a ps alx to see if I could find the process causing it, and there didn't seem to be one. So I unplugged my Zip, plugged it back in, then tried to mount it, and it wouldn't. I have done this before, even removing my Zip to take it to work, and it mounted just fine after reconnecting, but not this time. I did another ps alx and saw the mount /zip command, so I tried to kill it and couldn't (it's still there). So I tried to mount my /syjet which is on the same scsi chain, and couldn't do that either. Now I have both mount /zip and mount /syjet hanging as processes that can't seem to be killed. I tried -2 -3 -6 and -9, and even killall -9 mount, and nothing would kill those two processes. I could just reboot, but I shouldn't have to, should I?

tail -f /var/log/messages | grep local IP /home/pppusers/dynamic.IP
it does nothing but create a 0 byte file.

1. What am I doing wrong?
2. Is there a way I can put this in the background so I don't have to

i think you've got the wrong solution to the problemin other words,
there are better ways of doing what you want.
why not do this in /etc/ppp/ip-up (or /etc/ppp/ip-up.d if you are
running hamm)?
add lines like these to /etc/ppp/ip-up:
DYNFILE=/tmp/dynamic.IP
# first, delete the file just in case some evil user has it symlinked
to
# a system file (like /etc/passwd or /bin/bash):
rm -f $DYNFILE
echo $4 $DYNFILE
chmod a+r $DYNFILE
if this is for a dialin user (and not for a local console user who
you've given ppp dialout access to) then you probably need to find out
what their home directory is and put the dynamic.IP file in there.
try something like this instead:
USER=`w | grep $1 | awk '{print $1}'
DYNFILE=/home/$USER/dynamic.IP
rm -f $DYNFILE
echo $4 $DYNFILE
chown $USER $DYNFILE
chmod a+r $DYNFILE
(note: these sh script fragments are untested. use as a guideline only.
don't expect them to work as is. RTFM and understand what it does before
you trust any random code posted by a complete stranger on a mailing list)
the /etc/ppp/ip-up script is passed the following parameters from pppd when
the connection is established. that is where the $1 and $4 above come
from.
# This script is called with the following arguments:
#Arg Name Example
#$1 Interface name ppp0
#$2 The ttyttyS1
#$3 The link speed 38400
#$4 Local IP number12.34.56.78
#$5 Peer IP number12.34.56.99
there's also a 6th argument for recent (hamm only, i believe) versions of
pppd. i have no idea what it's for.

Re: Fw: Problem setting interrupt and address on network adaptor for NC2501-3 Accton Lanstation

I am employed by POS INTERNATIONAL in CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA which distributes your ACCTON Lanstation 586 MMX / PDA 2000 / NC2501-3. I would like to bring it to your attention that I was unable to change the existing network card settings from Base address 6200 and interrupt 11 to anything else. you haven't really given much information about what the problem is, so i'm going to make a few guesses. if it's on io address 0x6200 then it's probably a PCI card. if it's a PCI card, then the only reason i can think of why you'd want to change the io (or more likely, the IRQ) is because you have an old ISA card which can't be changed on that ioport/irq if this is the case, then the best thing to do is to reboot the machine, go into the bios, and set IRQ 11 to Legacy ISA rather than PCI PNP. This will prevent the BIOS from allocating that IRQ to a PCI card. then reboot linux. you may (but probably wont) have to change your /etc/modules or /etc/conf.modules line telling linux the new IO address or IRQ of your network card. most PCI card drivers in linux auto-detect the io address and IRQ so you probably wont have to make any software changes. if this is not the case for your accton card (i've never heard of them before so have no idea what they are like), then you can type cat /proc/pci to get a listing of pci cards, and what IRQ they are using. hope this helps.

I have tried to turn on arp and promiscus mode but that doesn´t help. I'm able to ping both the Internet, localnet, and subnet from the firewall. I'm able to ping the firewall (both addresses) from a host on the subnet. Using tcpdump I see that when I ping a host from the subnet to the local net then traffic I forwarded out but not back to the host on the local net. My ipfw config is set to accept all traffic. yes, that sounds consistent with messing up the subnetting. it's not an ipfwadm or a routing problem, you have subnetted your IP space incorrectly. craig -- craig sanders -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: REPOST: Diald routing (Help!)
Diald is already dialing when it should but the routing table is not being updated. I've had the same problem. Somewhere (either a HOWTO or a Linux Journal article) I found advice about setting the routing manually. This is what I'm doing now. In /etc/ppp/ip-up (the script) I put a route del default route add default $1 in just above the run-parts line. This forces the default route to be made. Similarly, in /etc/ppp/ip-down I do a route del default route add default gw 207.140.8.1 metric 1 also just before the run-parts command (perhaps that should be below it). 207.140.8.1 is just my ISP's gateway IP number. Once doing this, this cleared up all of my diald routing problems. Is there any problem with diald that prevents it from working out of the box with Debian? Im using the pon command as the dialer in diald.options. I found that using pon in /etc/diald/diald.options caused the link to disconnect after 30-60 seconds or so. I had to adopt a more conventional script which uses just chat and which doesn't call pppd. But I agree. So many people rely on diald it should work more seamlessly with pppd.

autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
I have upgraded from 1.3.1 to hamm with some difficulty, but feel like I'm getting there. My latest problem is that when invoking emacs from a console, I get segmentation fault, and no emacs. I don't believe that emacs was upgraded during the deselect process so I suspect that the version I had (v19.34.?) requires the old libc, though I realy don't understand the issues here. How do I rectify this? By running deselect and upgrading Emacs. I'm loath to try that since emacs is huge and a download would be epic, but if absolutely necessary I will. If it matters, My upgrade went like this: -autoup.sh -deselect with ACCESS UPDATE, INSTALL (No SELECT) -several more iterations of INSTALL since the first ones resulted in brokenly uninstalled packages. -dselect and running SELECT to get X running (but that's another posting...) Now deselect reports no brokenly installed packages and I believe that all the necessary packages are now installed. So again, how do I fix emacs? Thanx in advance.

Similarly, in /etc/ppp/ip-down I do a route del default route add default gw 207.140.8.1 metric 1 also just before the run-parts command (perhaps that should be below it). 207.140.8.1 is just my ISP's gateway IP number. Once doing this, this cleared up all of my diald routing problems. Is there any problem with diald that prevents it from working out of the box with Debian? Im using the pon command as the dialer in diald.options. I found that using pon in /etc/diald/diald.options caused the link to disconnect after 30-60 seconds or so. I had to adopt a more conventional script which uses just chat and which doesn't call pppd. But I agree. So many people rely on diald it should work more seamlessly with pppd.

Looking in /proc/interrupts didn't show any problem, because it didn't show my graphics card's (Riva 128 AGP) interrupt even when X was running. Since I dual boot Win95 I took a look there. It showed that my ethernet card and my video card share the same interrupt (IRQ 11). Then I search DejaNews with the new info and found people who had the exact ethernet card (3C905) and video card and were having the same problem. They suggesting moving the ethernet card to a different PCI slot. It was disappointing to see that Win95 can effectively share IRQ11 but Linux cannot. Ah, but Mark both these cards are PCI. Interrupts are almost always shared for PCI cards. PCI actually has its own interrupt levels A, B, C, D. Actual IRQ(s) is (are) assigned at runtime. Unlike ISA, PCI was designed to allow the sharing of interrupts and provides an easy way to identify which device issued the interrupte. Linux handles this just fine. The problem must have to do with Linux getting confused about the devices since it isn't aware that your RIVA 128 exists. Switching the slots the cards are in might work indeed. -- Jens B.

RE: Firewallsetup
My goal is to setup a firewall to protect my subnet like this: Internet | Cisco router(192.12.120.254) | Local net 192.12.120.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 | FIREWALL eth0 = 192.12.120.190, eth1 = 192.12.120.202 | Protected subnet 192.12.120.200 netmask 255.255.255.252 This worked fine when I used masqurading and a fake net (192.168.2.0) but not when I try to use real IP addresses and a subnet. This is the firewall setup: (outside) eth0: IP = 192.12.120.190 Netmask = 255.255.255.0 Network = 192.12.120.0 Broadcast = 192.12.120.255 Gateway = 192.12.120.254 (inside) eth1: IP = 192.12.120.202 Netmask = 255.255.255.252 Network = 192.12.120.200 Broadcast = 192.12.120.203 Gateway = 192.12.120.190 you've got mismatched netmasks on the internal subnet and the external subnet. they won't be able to communicate with each other through the firewall/gateway box because all the machines on eth0 think that they have a full /24 (class C), and that 192.12.120.202/255.255.255.252 is on the local eth0 ethernet, not routed through the fw box. i'm not sure if i'm explaining this very clearly. from the nature of the mistake you've made, i think you need to read up on tcp/ip and on building firewalls before building one. subnetting isn't that difficult but it's easy to make mistakes if you don't understand how it works. unless you've got a good reason not to, stick with using private addresses (192.168.2.0) for your internal networkthat makes building the firewall purely a routing and ipfw problem, and avoids the hassle of calculating netmasks. if necessary (e.g. for accounting purposes), you can even route between your external net and your internal 192.168.2.0 netbut then your internal network can be reached if hosts on your external net are compromised. security policies are always a tradeoff between convenience vs. security. Thanx Craig. I do need (I think) to use real IP addresses because I need to have multiple web-servers (accessible from the Internet) inside the firewall that should be protected. I thought it was possible to tell my fw box to route all trafic between the two subnets. Is it possible to route eg 192.12.12.202 to a host on the private network eg 192.168.2.202?

A brilliant card for Xfree and a real steal at the moment is the Xpert series from ATI: The XFree support is fab - all res, acceleration features, most color depths (apart from 24 bit, that is) are supported with 230MHz RAMDAC. Only drawback: No SVGAlib support (hardly any of the new chips have...) It's a very good card for DOS/Win9X gaming as well and features DVD support (not in LinUX...). Win9X drivers are stable and performant, MPEG decoding looks extremely well. Makes it a brilliant allround card - lightning fast 2D, pretty decent 3D performance with high quality ! Have a look at http://www.angelfire.com/ca/rchau/ and http://www.xfree86.org for more infos... Personally I am running the [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 8MB SGRAM, there is also the cheaper little brother, Xpert98, same RagePro chip but EDORAM I think (and no TV-out, which is a bit pointless with LinUX anyway, as it's certainly not the premier gaming platform, yet)...

Re: diskcrash - /var gone, was: Re: Plattencrash - /var weg?
hello, 3.) got a list of installed packages from /usr/doc/* directories. should be possible to do this with dpkg --get-selections, which can of course then just be redirected into a file: dpkg --get-selections filename and then dpkg --set-selections filename Ok, I haven´t tired it, but how can dpkg get the selectons, when the /var directory is missing? All invocations of dpkg -i or deselect didn´t worked due to the msising directory. Thanks for your answer Dirk -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Thanx Craig. I do need (I think) to use real IP addresses because I need to have multiple web-servers (accessible from the Internet) inside the firewall that should be protected. I thought it was possible to tell my fw box to route all trafic between the two subnets. Is it possible to route eg 192.12.12.202 to a host on the private network eg 192.168.2.202? you must have misunderstood what i said (not surprising, because i didn't explain it very well) you *can* use 192.12.20 addresses on both sides of the firewall (i.e. internal and external), as long as they are subnetted properly. this generally means splitting the net into two or more equally sized subnets. for example... two subnets: .0-127 and .128-255, or four subnets: .0-63, .64-127, .128-195, and .196-255, or eight subnets: .0-31, .32-63, .64-96, ..., and .224-255 note it is possible to run more than one subnet on a single ethernet segment. for example, you could run .0-63, .64-.127, .128-.195 on eth0 and .196-.255 on eth1, as long as you always remember that eth0 actually had three subnets on it and not just one network. the three eth0 subnets would only be able to communicate with each via a router (i.e. your firewall box)...they are completely separate networks even if they happen to be on the same cable segment! what you can't do is just take a chunk out of the middle of a net, stick it on the other side of a firewall and expect that it will work. (actually, if you're careful and know what you are doing you might be able to fake it by publishing arp entries for each of the hosts that 'belong' on eth0 but are actually physically located on eth1. possible, but tricky and complicated and easy to mess up. this is the sort of thing that evolves - mutates is more accurate - into an undocumented nightmare) Other solutions how to protect just a part of my C-net? one idea that occurs to me is that you could connect your firewall box directly to the cisco router (use a cross-over 10baseT cable or coax), and use 192.168.x address for that network segment. all of your hosts could then be on 192.12.120.0/24. use ipfwadm firewall rules to protect specific hostsor protect them all (default policy deny) and use allow rules to unprotect certain hosts/ports. something like this: 192.168.1.0 +--+ | | | |eth0 +-+ +-+ inet :cisco: :linux: +-+ +-+ |eth1 | +--. 192.12.120.0/24 segment (your hosts) it would simplify things if your ISP could allocate you an IP address for the cisco's internet (isdn??) interface. your ISP would route your /24 net to your cisco, and your cisco would know to route it to the linux box. the linux box would apply firewall rules to filter out undesirable connections. it would simplify things even further if you could replace the cisco with an ISDN card for your linux box. that's assuming your internet connection is ISDN, of course. if it's some other connection type it may be worth your while finding out whether linux supports it. craig -- craig sanders -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

where in the world is /usr/bin/rpc.bootparamd?
Hello! I'm installing Debian Linux 1.3.1 the hard way, package by package, floppy by flloppy. Yes, i'm a masochist! :-) But it is very instructive, since i have never installed any Linux in my life. :-( The PC i'm trying to do this is a dusty 486, w/o any network connections and w/o a CD-ROM. I'd like to make it run LAM MPI, a message-passing environment for workstation networks, in single node mode. LAM MPI needs some TCP/IP services that i tried to provide with the packages netbase and netstd. The fact is it complains about a missing /usr/bin/rpc.bootparamd. Since i couldn't find it in any package, i guess it is in the installation packages; possibly a misinformed answer to an installation question prevented from being installed. However, i don't know which is the package that rpc.bootparamd belongs to, and wouldn't like to install everything again, for obvious reasons. :-) So, my two questions are: 1) is the above exposition true? Does rpc.bootparamd really lie in some base package that belongs to the installation? 2) how can i install it w/o having to reinstall everything i have in my dusty and trusty 486 computer? BTW two hurrahs for Debian Linux: 1) Debian is really easy to install. Maybe even easier than Windows 95. And has more intelligent installer, i'm sure. 2) The dusty and trusty 486 was not a good computer to run Win95, but it had its revival: it runs Linux very fast! I thank you in advance!

Xserver lockup with Mystique
Hi, I am having and have had problems running XF86s xserver on a Matrox Mystique. The problem is this : Either the xerver is started by startx or xdm. Xserver starts, I log in. I open and close a couple of xterms. Fine. Do a bit of cd to various directories. Fine. I get advanced, I do ls in various directories it might work or the xserver locks up denying me keyboard and mouse and text stops scrolling in xterms. After rebooting I find no errors in /var/log section. X -probeonly returns nothing strange. I implement isapnp for all things on my soundcard. No help there. A variation on the problem on the lockup is that ls seems to work. I put it to test by zcat /usr/doc/HOWTO/* which most definitely kills my xserver. Clarification, at lockups I see a still picture of the X environment unable to leave with ctrl alt F1 F2 etc In debian stable 1.2 I noticed that my programs kept running in such cases since my harddrive was accessed and when rebooting when harddrive finished. My output data files are complete. I have not tried this with Debian2.0 I leave things be buy myself 2 other pci cards (mpeg and a vodoo2 I run win95 with no problems). Decide to upgrade bios in motherboard and mystique to latest versions. I upgrade to Debian 2.0. Nothing has changed. Right now I run a non-modified kernel 2.0.34 after having a 2.0.30 both custom and not. What is wrong ? How can I trace the problem ? X -probeonly, xdm-errors shows nothing of interest. Anxiously waiting for som help. Thanx so far for your interest. Greetings from Stockholm !! Pjo Per Olsson e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] p.s.

Is it possible to route eg 192.12.12.202 to a host on the private network eg 192.168.2.202? you could use redir or ipportfw or rinetd or similar programs to transparently redirect connections to a certain host:port to another machine. e.g. set up an ip_alias on the linux box for 192.12.120.202, and then configure one of the above programs to redirect/proxy/masquerade all port 80 (www) connections for that IP address to 192.168.2.202 this may be your simplest solution. all of the above mentioned programs are available as debian packages. read the documentation for all of them to see which best suits your needs. they are all in hamm. i think only redir was available for bo.

RE: autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
Ok, I'm still confused... Emacs? Not part of the current distribution? This is alarming. I'm not sure what you mean by not to worry since the upgrade has broken Emacs and now it is catagorized as obsolete meaning it is not part of the current distrubution. I'm certain that there must be a way to fix emacs in hamm. Is it by using Deselect, and just selecting it for upgrade? (a loathsome download nightmare). Perhaps I should get a clue on the use of dpkg or apt since it seems most on this list avoid deselect in favor of dpkg if only one package is to be installed, emacs in this case.

RE: pon troubles
Thanks, John, for such a quick and pointed reply. Yes, I'm running pon as root. I don't know what minicom is, and as far as I can tell I don't yet have it on my system. I'll get back to you once I have downloaded it. 'setserial -a /dev/ttyS2' gave me this: /dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte Flags: spd_normal skip_test I also tried setserial -a /dev/ttyS0: /dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte Flags: spd_normal skip_test session_locked and setserial -a /dev/ttyS1: /dev/ttyS1, Line 1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte Flags: spd_normal skip_test session_locked setserial -a /dev/ttyS3 was similar, although without the skip_test and session_locked flags. Incidentally, if you could take a moment to explain to me what UART, IRQ, and the session_locked flag all signify, that would be great. One other thing: As far as I can tell from the Win95 modems ctrl panel, my modem is actually two modems. The first is a Game Data Line on COM3; that's the one I have been trying to access through linux. The second is a Voice Fax Line on COM5, which I have been unable to access through linux; every reference I make within linux to /dev/ttyS4 gives me back a not found error, which I have taken to mean that linux can't see more that four ports. Thanks again, W Yet when I try pon, no luck. = plog tells me the following: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0 tcgetattr: input/output error (5) Exit. Type 'setserial -a /dev/ttyS2' and send me the output. You are running 'pon' as root. right?
