I think you need the driver for the intel i740 chip. Try here:

My friend, I must agree with you there! The first computer I built was around
that 5x86 133 a couple years back. After seeing that puppy, I haven't gone back
to Intel. Now, I run a K6-II 350 with no problems. The 5x86 is in the closet
at the moment awaiting a new video card and NIC, but as soon as the wallet can
handle it, that little thing will be back in the running. Slow as hell even
with 64 MB RAM, but rock solid!
BTW, o/c-ing it was never a problem with me either.

hdd4? Am I to assume the zip drive is the slave on the secondary bus?
I have a similar system. (zip is master on secondary bus.) I'm using:
/dev/hdc4 /mnt/zip vfat user,noauto,.... plus more. mode, and
such.
I got the drive to mount, the first time, and unmount too. But after that, I
always got errors retrying to mount.
Suggestions?

Sorry, I see I misunderstood your post.
I didn't get a SCSI card with my Zip drive.
Maybe I was lucky.

You'll want at *least* 8 MB of RAM.

No, you should be able to do all configuration in text mode via a telnet

For Redhat see

I encountered a problem that I don't understand at all.
It's a problem with my ISP connection, which before worked
just fine for many months.
Here it is:
I CAN
connect to my school (ISP) via a modem, can surve the web (with
Netscape, for example), can read/post to newsgroups like this one,
BUT I CAN'T
withdraw emails from the school, nor can I even telnet it from a terminal
window - in Win95 on the other hand everything remains fine, there both
things work. I also tried telneting to another account - it worked and then
from that account to the one where my email is - it worked, too.
(when trying to get new mail, I get "Server was not found",
when "[denis@localhost denis]$ telnet godzilla.acpub.duke.edu", I get
"godzilla.acpub.duke.edu: Host name lookup failure ")
my linux experiences are driving me crazy, if somebody can please help me
understand what is going on?
thanks a lot.

I am also considering buying a motorola modem : a "56K V90 Motorola Chipset
PCI Internal Fax Modem"
in the ad it says
"Keyfeatures
Motorola chipset
High speed 56 kbps reception from the Internet
Windows 2000 prepared
Direct connectable with included BABT cable
Drivers for Windows 95 and 98"
is this also a software modem? should i buy it?
If you know please reply.
Thank you

This sounds like the same modem (or at least a very similar one).
Motorola have decided to get out of the retail modem business. But they
are still selling "modem kits" to small generic manufacturers, who
then release them as "Motorola" modems, SM modems, Shark SM56, etc., etc.
There are very few "real" 56K PCI modems available right now--the vast
majority are software modems.

Cyrus,
I'd have to agree with the 3rd respondent to this, Mike.
You'd need to have computers of some kind (desktop or special-purpose)
at both ends to modulate and demodulate the sound and video
information. (Ten points for you if you realized that the word modem is
actually a shortened form of modulator/demodulator.) That computer
would then output it to an RCA format, etc.
An example would be a JINI-like (see java.sun.com) audio player device
that would have its own IP number on your network and accept IP packets
of audio data in a specific format for output. This would permit your
"server" computer to transmit the audio data in that format to that IP
number, and that recipient device would accept the data, translate it,
and turn it into sound. Who knows if the receiving computer could keep
up with real sound data and deal with possible problems of packets
coming in out of order.
