As I understand it - you wont see much improvement with the newer 3d cards
(voodoo2 etc) over a voodoo1, with a P233. The newer cards need a PII300 and
over to get the most out of them. Perhaps you could try overclocking your
P233 a bit - http://www.tomshardware.com/overclock.html

Hi Steven
Get an external modem. Almost any external modem should work like a charm.
I got a great v.90 ext modem on eBay for $50.00. Works like a HORSE! There
is a used Dalco v.90 OEM external modem on Ebay right now for about $30.00
or so. USR ext v.90 modems sell for $60-80 on Ebay. 33.6k ext modems sell
for $20-40.
Try this link, Steven.
http://listings.ebay.com/aw/listings/list/category173/index.html
This will take you to the eBay's current modem listings.
RedHat 5.1 & 5.2 picked up my external modem immediately. I used the
Control Panel in X Windows to configure my PPP connection to my ISP (very
easy, just fill in the blanks). One trick: e-mail your ISP support for the
addresses for the DNS servers that they use. Linux does NOT automatically
find these like your Windows winsock will.
It will be VERY worth your while to learn about your COM ports, your IRQ
addresses, and your DMA channels. Even Windows PNP screws these up, and
when it does, you must manually fix these conflicts (unless you pay for some
nifty software). You really must have an understanding of these in Linux.
Otherwise, you will post to this NG alot!

I agree the office connect products are very good and very relialble.
Another product line to consider is the Bay Networks. I have had very good
success with their Hubs and cards also. The ISDN router/modem is very
comparable to 3coms, but it has a few extra features which make it a little
more appealing in my mind. I have used it in several small businesses in my
area where more that 10 machines need an internet connection and the 3com
won't do more than 10 machines. The Bay Network also has a robust feature
for allowing users to call into the network also.
Either product is great, I have used both lines and I recommend both of
them.

OK, I got the model wrong... It is 00568702. The 56K* note is probably
the disclaimer that the FCC will only allow enough modem power to run
it at 53.3K (although some seem to get more speed, somehow).
Hopefully, the FCC will get off their backside and allow the 56K that
the modems are capable of.

That's just funny!
I looked at their prices etc. Let's see, I can pay thousands of dollars
to run my linux apps on flaky NT,
or I can just BUY a second PC (with all options), and run my Linux apps

If you need to give options, like irq, eepro100.o needs to be a module, not
internal to the kernel. Debian install asked me what net card driver I
needed, and what opts, and compiled it. Then I just read the docs for
isapnp tools and the eepro100.c module.

It doesn't format e2fs partitions, but you can do that with cfdisk and fdisk
in linux, from a boot or rescue floppy. If you over-write SCD's boot-sector,
you boot from a dos disk and run an SCD app, checkmbr.exe. SCD gives
a menu, and you can add drive a: to it so you never have to go into your
cmos menu and change c: a: to a: c: boot orders to use boot diskettes.

in this case, Linux is performing perfectly: using wasted memory
to cache the filesystem, so you spend less time waiting for the disk
to move.

All I can say is avoid Winmodems, PCI and PnP modems. You can get the
PnP modems to work if you fool around with isapnptools but as the name
suggests, it must be ISA. I think your best bet is to find an ISA 56k
modem which is not PnP or a Winmodem. Call your local hardware dealer
and ask him what he's got like that.

But there is a very big difference in "Reality" between an X server
and "Unix emulator". With just an X server, you still need to own and
operate a machine running Unix to run Unix apps. If you had a Unix
emulator, presumably that means you could get Unix apps and just run
them on your NT machine. The sysadmin may be able to write some kewl
scripts so that an end-user on the NT machine doesn't realize they're
starting an X app, but that still only accounts for GUI Unix apps; to
start a non-gui Unix app you'd still need to actually log into the
Unix machine, whereas if you had a Unix emulator you could just run
them on your NT machine too.
