Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 12:49:55 -0700
I know this is a Linux newsgroup. But, I don't known where else to ask.
I've gotten a package called "imwheel" working under Linux, which allows
my Intellimouse wheel to scroll 'most' X apps.
Now, I'm running Exceed as my X software at work using an NT box as a
dumb terminal.
Does anyone know now to get my Intellimouse wheel to scroll under SunOS
UNIX using Exceed?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for the help!

I recently installed Caldera's OpenLinux 1.3 on my Gateway Pentium Pro
200. Everything seems to work but the modem. Despite my best efforts
to decode the limited instructions for setting up KDE's "kppp" program,
I still cannot talk to my modem. Continually get "modem busy" or "modem
locked" error messages. The modem works fine w/win95 so I'm pretty sure
my h/w is good. Any thoughts as what I should do?
Thank you, Tim

Has anyone run intot a problem getting one of those inexpensize NE2000

Just to rule out one possibilty the card works fine under windows.
If this is a incompatible card.... What kind of cards do you know of

Perhaps, but in this country even if they didn't have a case, they could
easily force an individual or small company into bankrupcy just through
1) a legal suit, 2) an appeal when that suit was thrown out of court...
to MS, spending months in the courtroom means little relative to their
bottom line, to me, I'd have trouble hiring 1 lawyer for 1 day in
court...:-(

I agree with JG's statement for the most part. There is, however, a
very pleasant aspect to using 2-processor NT system: far less waiting
for many operations. I find the smoothness of operation is worth the
money, and it also allows me to run compute-intensive, single-threaded
jobs at close to full speed while I'm answering email, writing code,
etc., at the same time. So I would say that if a machine is not
*dedicated* to running the main code, turnaround will be better using
a multiprocessor machine. Not a panacea, but a cheap improvement.
Also, in my field, we often run simulations of N replications. It's
not very difficult to run a separate job of N/2 on each processor.
This gives an approach to multithreading without loss of compatibility
and with little programming effort.

Check your BIOS and see if PLUG "N PLAY OS = YES. If so turn it off. That still
might not work, but I am almost certain that it is a bios problem. You might also
remove any expansion cards to see if they are causing a problem.

This almost certainly means that they do NOT want you to log on, they
want ppp to start right after the CONNECT message.
See my
axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
to find out exactly what they want and how to set it up for them.
Most of the scripts are set up for login authorisation, while most ISPs
are going for PAP/CHAP authorisation.

SCSI is rather more expensive. Plus, there are cable length
restrictions to deal with, especially with SCSI3. Furthermore,
the really dense connectors are a real PITA to deal with.
For a 386 & 486, 10baseT or 100BaseT should be adequate.
However, scsi would likely be a more interesting hack.

I don't agree at all. Let's take the simple case where you have 2 jobs
that need to run. You can buy 1 533MhZ 21164 Alpha and run both jobs
on the same processor or buy 1 450MhZ dual PII and run each job on
a separate processor. The boxes are also roughly the same price these
days. The Alpha is 1.5x as fast (at least for our code)
as the 450 MhZ PII per CPU. So, my two jobs will finish *faster* on the
PII (since the Alpha loaded with 2 jobs will run each job half as fast).
In a more extreme case (say our research group) we have *THOUSANDS* of
simulations to run. Anything we can do to increase the rate at which
jobs finish is important. Sometimes that means faster CPUs (Alpha)
and sometimes that means more of them (Intel). More CPUs means that my
code doesn't sit in a queue waiting to execute or has to split time on
a CPU with another job.

Subject: buying a linux box -- advice?
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 21:23:36 GMT
Ok, here's a hypothetical situation. (Hypothetical for now...)
I want to buy a linux box. Red hat, or slackware, or any other major
version I can trust.
AMD processor, whatever the good ones are (If you want to know why, see
http://www.bigbrotherinside.com)
And I do NOT want to have to buy from a normal oem, pay for windows,
uninstall windows, install linux, and go through hell.
In fact, I want to just buy a box. Put together, of course. Either 64
or 128 mg ram, around 8g hd, cheap sound card, cd-rom, monitor. The
absolute basics.
1. How much is a reasonable price (by which I mean "cheapest
possible"), given the lack of any software/perks?
2. Where can I get preinstalled linux shit? Preferably some actual
retail location in the Boston MA area, so I can actually walk in and
ensure I'm not being robbed?
3. Or is it better to get one online?
4. Are there any major compatibality issues with AMD?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Gateway G6-350?
Date: 11 Mar 1999 21:32:02 GMT
After working for a great company like Gateway, I find it hard to believe
that they would continue to carry Mpact's product in their system. With
Windows and DVD the Mpact works great. However, Mpact's persistence to
not provide any Linux assistance signifies their lackluster support
efforts. (And their Web site sucks too.)
I own a Gateway G Series 266 with and Intergrated Onboard MPACT chip.
After installing Linux, I proceeded to configure X Windows. I've tried
just about every configuration available with no luck. I also have only
been able to get it to function properly using 320x200 (I didn't even know
that was a real resolution!!). One time, I got it to work in 800x600 but
it's like the mouse wasn't synchronized with my monitor and I couldn't
really do anything.
However, there is one command that I can run that always displays the
screen in 800x600. I can't remember the command right now and it's only a
configuration program. (I'm at work and the computer is at home.) When I
get home, I'll post the filename on here so we can discuss how/why that
works.
I'm not saying that you guys should ditch your Gateway just yet. There's
a setting in there somewhere. I think the solution may lie in the
RAMDAC.
And by the way, if you guys really want to get angry, every day, once a
day, go look at this great page on Mpact's quality, award-winning Web site:
http://www.mpact.com/faq/linux.htm
And as far as I'm concerned, I can't wait to get home to play with Linux
on my Toshiba laptop which installed without a hitch. I didn't even have
to curse during the installation. :)

You need to use "ifconfig plip1 arp" to switch on arp in order to

with "ifconfig plip1 -arp" for a normal connection. Note in the

Is your ISP 'INTX'? They want you to use PAP for the login procedure.
(Note: the other access number for these guys uses the standard
username/password procedure. You may want to try it.) You will need to
set up PPP to use the pap-secrets file to get this connection to work.
INTX also doesn't work with compressed headers so disable this in the
pppd command string.

Well, this happens every now and then even with the best xservers ...
but there is an important distinction, which most users don't care
about, but it does need to be made.
While it is quite possible for the xserver to crash, this event will
almost never take the linux kernel down with it. There may not be a
difference to most users, but if you can telnet in you can kill the
process and start over without rebooting.
