Date: 21 Jan 1999 05:33:42 GMT
Recently, I have bought an Internal PCI modem,
which is designed and manufactured in China.
It claims that it is a hardware decoding modem,
(I hope it is NOT winmodem). Therefore I buy
it and want to test it with my own hand.
Another reason I buy it is, of course, it
is cheaper than external and other PCI modem
(including those winmodem).
Currently I plan, and start to write a
PCI modem driver for this. If there is
anyone know that there are information
(links or on-going work :) about talking
with a PCI modem, it would be great if you
can send me a email.
Thank you very much for spending time on my thread :)

I have been using the ALSA sound driver (forget the version)
in the past several monthes. My sound card is Soundblaster
PCI64, everything worked fine, playing cd, realaudio, ...
As Version 0.3.0-pre2 came out, I decided to update it.
When I compile it, I found out that the module *snd-audiopci*
was not generated. I am pretty much sure that is the module
for my card. I am not expert on Linux, can somebody
help me on this? any input will be appreciated.
BTW, I am using Redhat 5.1.

Just type the word and press enter. Follow the instrutions. Have manuals for

How about xv. That's capable of grabbing areas of the screen.

xv IS free, of rather, the unregistered version on my machine was.
And it's quite capable of doing screen grabs in the unregistered version.

installing Linux Redhat 5.2. I am booting from the IDE CD-ROM drive and
after installation screen searches for SCI it reports my Fireport PCI SCSI
card as being an "NCR 538xx PCI SCSI".
Is this the reason that after installtion is complete Linux does not boot
and asks me to insert my redhat CD into the CD-ROM drive?

My comment is that you don't really need to use the registered ips this
way to accomplish
"priviledged" access for some of your machines behind the firewall. I
think that the registered
ips would be better used as aliases to your firewall router box. In
this way you can "advertise"
services such as "www" on 208.93.117.178 and "mail" on 208.93.117.179
and so on.
As to the granting access priviledges to machines behind the firewall,
you do that by using
the appropriate machine's ip explicitly in your rules (or if they
happened to be a band of
contiguous numbers an network address and the appropriate net mask).
These ip addresses of the priviledged machines are masqueraded by your
linux box
to the registered address assigned to its network interface that is
connected to the
internet.
How To do this?
There are a number of HOW-TOs that are germane here and several
resources on the
web that I have found useful. The HowTos (all should be part of your
linux cd distribution
or are widely available on the web)::
Firewalling and Proxy Server HOWTO
Linux IP Masquerade mini HOWTO
IP SubNetworking Mini HOWTO
If ip forwarding and other needed options are not already compiled into
your linux kernel,
you will want to know how to build your kernel with the appropriate
options mentioned
in the documents above set appropriately. For this, check out the Linux
Kernel HOWTO.
Another good description of the kernel build process can be found in the
SuSE
distribution's manual.
ipfwadm documentation is widely available on the web. The documents
from
X/OS (Linux firewall facilities for kernel-level packet screening by Jos
Vos and
Willy Konijnenberg - the fellows that authored this Linux
feature) is good for general understanding. See
http://www.xos.nl/linux/ipfwadm/paper/
A perhaps more practical coverage on the use of ipfwadm can be found in
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/TrinityOS.wri. See Chapter
10.
If you haven't read Chapman and Zwicky's "Building Internet Firewalls"
do so. It documents tcp/ip port usage for the most common services
you might want to/have to deal with setting up your firewall. The trick
will be mapping that knowledge onto the ipfwadm rules.....
Good luck.

Subject: K6 freeze
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 07:46:47 +0800
I have installed Red Hat 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36) on an ASUS TX97 with 64mb
SDRAM and a K6-200 AMD processor. The chip is not overclocked and it
has been an exceptionally stable platform on other OS's over the past 2
years.
After the Red Hat install it all works fine until you leave the machine
inactive for a period of time that seems to be about 20 minutes. The
system locks up and I can't do anything except reset.
It almost looks as if it's going into an APM suspend state, although I
disabled APM in the BIOS.
This occurs in the console or under X, so I can't blame the video card
or a runaway screen saver not managing memory properly.
At boot I get a kernel warning message:
"AMD K6 stepping B detected - system stability may be impaired if more
than 32Mb"
Well I guess the above message is the obvious candidate for attention
but it only locks with inactivity which seems the opposite of what I
would expect if it were a memory issue.
The bottom line:
Does anyone have a similar problem on this platform?
Has anyone else the Kernel warning re: >32Mb RAM with K6 processor?
Can you override the kernel using all RAM at boot time with a lilo
override or do I need to re-compile a custom kernel?
Many thanks

I am trying to get my Yamaha OPL3-SA2 sound card working under Linux and

minutes and costs $20 to purchase.... I am trying to get the isapnptools
program to re-init the card so it will work with the sound driver
provided by the kernel but I can't get it to work. I got the isapnp
tools program to init the card, I think. What won't work is loading the
sound card modules after that step.
I just tried to get the oss sound driver from 4-Front working again and
I noticed that upon bootup no matter what kernel I boot with, it is
trying to load modules and says it can't find a bunch of them... I can't
get the bootup messages back with dmesg either...
Does using modprobe add something to bootup? or isapnptools? and if so,
how do I remove that?
Any ideas on what I need to do to get the modules working so I don't
need the proprietary driver?

BUT this setup is not for the inexperienced, and requires downloading,

Not sure of the URL at the moment.. a search on Xi Graphics should give

Read the Soundblaster AWE Howto, it should answer all your questions.

The new 2.2 (2.1) kernels use the ttySx in favor for cuax (It is just an
read-only/read-write question. It should simplifying the programmation).
But under 2.0 a call to ttySx could not work. (you just had to made a
script wo test the kernel version (uname -r) a make the symlink).

I would go with an ISA modem with jumpered IRQ settings. They have real
UARTS which work with Linux.

I'm having the same question... Red Hat doesn't seems to support MIPS
architecture... I don't know about other distributions.
My boss is going to "throw away" more than 6 SGI Indy... I was
thinking of building a Linux cluster out of those boxes...
well... if you do find any useful info, can you please drop me a note?
Thanks.

I have mine working. It is on an Intel AN430TX motherboard. Is that what
your motherboard is?
Anyway, I just followed the information that comes with the kernel source
tree.
