when i start faxgetty with .../faxgetty /dev/modem it sends a
message to the messages-log saying:
"can not deduce identification of uucp"

because i'm working with a SuSE distribution, the user uucp
and the group uucp can be seen in yast.

However the only time this message (or at least one very
similar to it :-) ) is generated is when a getpwnam("uucp")
fails.

 I have the Etherlink XL TPO NIC(3c900B) ethernet card. I was woundering if
 this is supported by Redhat linux 5.2 as i can see the 3c900 is supported.

 Also is there anybody out there who knows how to get a cable modem working
 on redhat 5.2

I got the same card given to me when ADSL installed.  Call it a 3c9x card
and it will be happy.  I suspect once the 1's and 0's get to the NIC from
the cable modem it will work the same as ADSL.
Some annoying pitfalls from just filling in the URLs for the card and the
cable modem/isp DNS occurred afterwards.  Go into linuxconf and tell the
adapter to use bootp vice manual, and also tick the box that says DNS
required that is above it.  These are not shown on the install routine.
RH6/Mandrake changes the linuxconf a bit, and I had a *wonderful* time
installing because it will only auto probe for one NIC [no matter what
ether=blah blah I tried], and would find the LAN ne2k clone on IRQ9.  Don't
bother setting up the network on install, do it via linuxconf, and if you
have two NICs LIE A BIT.  I told the system to use the 3c509 driver and that
it was on IRQ 10 just to make it probe, and then it goes and does the
correct thing as PCI NICs will report themselves.  Not elegant, but it
worked.

 In my opinion, the only thing that C++ has over C is
better support for data encapsulation via classes and, possibly,

Only is good.


I think the argument that the syntactical differences aren't compelling
is supportable, although I don't agree with it.  But even after dismissing
things like // comments, declaring variables at point of use, class names
as types, etc.  I still find the following 5 things the most compelling 
reasons to use C++ over C (roughly in decreasing order of importance)

1) Data Encapsulation
2) Inheritance
3) Polymorphism
4) STL library
5) Templates

Exception handling didn't make the list, but it's not far behind.
Name spaces didn't make the list, but I like them too.

I'm partially convinced that references and operator overloading are 
negative features (except for new and delete) so I avoid overloading
which cuts down on the need for references too.  I don't use

Just to get the names right. The program you're running on your windows
machine is not the X-Client it's the X-Server, because it serves the
x-calls you're linux box is performing. 

Common mistake. And very confusing at first.

 Try using MI/X - a free __X client__ for Windows.  It seems

Assuming you're on at least a base10 network, try VNC. You can port
you're wintel boxes to X or X on your wintel box's. You also can use
most WM's, including KDE for sure and maybe Gnome too. MIX is
available, simpler and a little faster but doesn't run as much X
software as VNC. It also will only do X on windows and not the other
way around. 
VNC has it's own host software for both platforms but MIX only
requires DISPLAY = 192.168.XXX.YYY:0 export DISPLAY on the linux
box, then you telnet in from windows and run Xterm  mimimize X,
that's it.

Here's links for both. VNC has binaries for both win32 and linux.
