   In what way is it unreliable _or_ a gimmick?  If you have any
problems with it, please submit a bug report--that's how free

I assume that you're using the SuSE distro, but if not, then you might
still be able to apply this.

First off, Newcom modems are junk. The fact that you're getting poor
performance out of it is proof enough. Also, you would be better off
using a PCI modem if you want to go with an internal modem.

I use a 3Com / US Robotics model 5610 PCI modem, which I bought from the
manufacturer for $110.00 plus shipping. To get Linux (kernel 2.2.13) to
detect it I issue the setserial command as root. it goes like this:

root@host> setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0xc400 irq 5

This tells my system that to find a modem with an I/O address of hex
C400 and an IRQ of 5 and set it as my first serial port.

Then I use wvdial to interact with the pppd to keep things simple.

I hope this helps.

Slack also doesn't keep their code base right at the bleeding edge.  Fewer

I've got the latest Slack running on my old 486 laptop.  Runs well.

Abit has a pre-patched RH6.2 base:
http://www.gentus.com/whatsnew3.html

The ide kernel patch containing hpt366 bits is under:
/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/

Nothing wrong with distro kernels, but the ide/hpt366 patch is big and
you'll end up hand fixing things.  Easiest with a clean kernel rather
than one from a distro:
/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2

Start here for the above:
http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/

There's a HOWTO for hpt366 here, may be the best place to start:
http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~b6506063/hpt366/

[from another post]
> I'm also wondering if it's an IRQ contention issue: both hpt366
> controllers are [share the] same IRQ...

Standard.  I used to run a Promise Ultra/33 on IRQ3 by disabling one of
the serial ports and assigning IRQ in BIOS to the PCI slot.  It was about
3% faster than the intel PIIX4 chip that used IRQs 14 & 15.

Best to not have a card on the same IRQ as the htp366.

The BSD Linux emulation works for EVERY application that I have tried,
including Netscape and acroread.  It might not work for certain
wierd apps.

The Linux emulation isn't horrible, and can be useful.  It is certainly
easier to use than dealing with dual boot machines.  I have a moderate
sized complex of machines, and could allocate a machine to Linux, if
it would make my certain apps on my complex run more nicely.  No need
to yet.  I am ready to allocate a machine to Linux, if needed, at any time.

Subject: Interrupt problem with 2.2.16 and HP Vectra XU5/90
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 05:12:13 GMT

I have kernel 2.2.16 running on an HP Vectra XU5/90 (dual Pentium 100).
The machine has been very stable until I recently added a NetGear PCI
ethernet card.

Now, heavy use on the ethernet card (eth1) and the hard drive (tmscsim)
causes the machine to lock up very consistently. The SCSI controller is
on-board. The machine only has 2 PCI slots, and they both seem to be
shared with the on-board SCSI controller. Moving the ethernet card
between the 2 PCI slots does not change the interrupt it is assigned.
It is always assigned the same interrupt as the SCSI controller.

I believe the problem is that the (shared) interrupt between the SCSI
controller and the ethernet card is mistakenly being assigned as edge
and not level. The symptom of the hang is that the SCSI activity light
comes on and the machine freezes (about 25% of the time). The rest of
the time, the SCSI controller just stops responding - the kernel
endlessly tries resetting it and the machine has to be reset.

My /proc/interrupts looks like:

           CPU0       CPU1
  0:     126061     171209    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  1:         55        104    IO-APIC-edge  keyboard
  2:          0          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  4:         15         11    IO-APIC-edge  serial
  5:          0          3    IO-APIC-edge  soundblaster
  8:          0          2    IO-APIC-edge  rtc
  9:       2732       2660    IO-APIC-edge  PCnet/PCI 79C970
 10:     341117     265230    IO-APIC-edge  tmscsim, eth1
 13:          1          0          XT-PIC  fpu
NMI:          1
ERR:          0

I think the problem is with INT 10. Shouldn't this be IO-APIC-level to
be properly shared between two devices? Who decides the interrupt type,
BIOS or the kernel? Is there any way to force the interrupt type to be
LEVEL?

I find the main problem with Linux emulation is when I don't have
quite the right libraries in /usr/compat/linux.  But I have this
same problem with difference distributions of Linux.

For example, I had a much easier time getting wordperfect 8 to work
on FreeBSD than SuSE 6.4.

The milestone builds of mozilla for linux never seem to run for me
on FreeBSD - complains about some library or other missing.  But
the same thing on SuSE 6.4 caused my whole computer to spontaneously
reboot.

In my experience, every linux program that I have found useful -
netscape, acrobat reader, mathematica, maple, wordperfect 8,
staroffice has run on my FreeBSD computer with no trouble.

Linux emulation is definitely not a gimmick - it is extremely useful.

Is it a CD-R or a CD-RW CD? Some Audio CD players have difficulty
reading from CD-RW CDs. I'm told that this is because of the nature of
the CD-RW substrate and it's interaction with the CD drive laser.
Newer CD drives can read CD-RW audio CDs, but older ones cant.

Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 02:45:37 -0400

ISA only works, the module doesn't work for PCI.  You will also need to 
determine which resources the card needs and which the system will allow it.
 
With the lan aid disk for the NIC, set the resources on the NIC to match 
what 
the system will allow.  You may need to poke around in the bios to get the 
settings.  Then boot up, and at the prompt, type modprobe ibmtr.  It should 
find the device.  Go into X and linuxconf to finish setting up the network 
settings.

The TR card isn't supported, but will work on most machines.  I have 3 
machines working on TR, and couldn't get 2 others to work, so put them on 
eth 
(all IBM systems).  It will take work.  On www.linux.org, you will find a 
mini-how-to on TR NICS.

Good luck  :-)

Hi Everyone,

My friend had just setup his Linux box to access Internet and his ISP told
his to buy the 3Com ISDN Impact 2 Modem and the modem only come with Windows
driver. His ISP said it is easy to do the setup but need to charge 140/hr.
Can anyone tell me how to do the setup please?

Thanks and Regards.
