So far I don't see any real problems with what you want to do.
Some of the specs for the box are a little on the high side
for a home server. Here is my server's specs...
soyo motherboard sy6ba+ ide slot 1
64 meg of ram (hey its cheap)
pentium II 350 (still overkill)
OLD 1.6 gig micropolis scsi drive with INITIO controller 10mb sec.
Redhat 6.1 network management workstation install option
crappy ide 40x off brand cdrom (needs to be replaced)
nvidia tnt2 graphics card (put an Nvidia Gforce GTS 2 on my game machine
so it was available)
15 inch nec monitor (not really necessary it only allows me to see boot
process)
NO keyboard and NO mouse (must disable gpm or system hangs)
2 linksys nics (home net kit in a box)
1 linksys 10/100 hub
digicom isa controller based modem for dial out isp (cable nor dsl is
currently available to me)
all cat 5 cables (these can be purchased in any length to 50 ft pre
built.)
Now for some recommendations...
3Com does not corner the market in quality or service they are just
plain overpriced.
Try linkSys or SMC (do not under any circumstances buy Dlink)
The scsi motherboard is overkill get an ide board save the dollars for
other things.
Unless you want to play games on the server go with a slower (cheaper)
processor.
Use a smaller hard drive 3.2 gig is fine. Get a seagate or IBM if you
can still find one this small.
You just have to trim the log files daily.
Put the SCSI drive on one of your personal machines.
Don't use the server to store files these should be kept on the client
computers.
this is just in case your server gets hacked you lose NOTHING.
Do get a good linux distribution. Redhat 6.1 or 2 or SuSE 6.4.
SuSE distro is cheaper but no less in quality than redhat (and has more
included apps to play with)
Install the linux system as a dual boot on your personal machine and
play with it there first before
constructing the server. (i reinstalled my linux setup 10 times before I
learned enough to fix
the problems I caused while learning what things did and didn't do)
Do find an industrial strength firewall setup. Do an altavista search
for TrinityOS this is a VERY
good IPCHAINS firewall rule set that is VERY secure. I use it and
recommend it highly. Take into
account what I said above about your server getting hacked. While this
firewall setup is good nothing
is perfect and hackers do have a habit of finding novel ways of getting
into systems.
Get a high quality switch or hub make sure its a 10/100 dual speed.
Linksys or 3com (good quality but
still overpriced.) A 5 port model should be just fine for your setup but
you might want to consider an
8 port for future expandability.
If you can connect the Laser Jet 5 directly to the network. This would
make this much simpler as far as
your printing functions go. Printer setup and functionality on linux is
still somewhat shaky.
It would be worth the money to setup the laser jet on the network by
itself rather than running
it through another computer.
The other printer is unknown to me. But would probably easier to set it
up as a shared printer on one
of the Windows 9x boxes.
File sharing can be done between the windows clients without the need to
setup the linux box for this.
This would make the linux box a little more secure from the inside in
case someone decides to play
network detective for the fun of it. This only works if using a
hub/switch. Other wise you must
setup SAMBA the linux windows server program (read BIG PAIN IN BUTT) get
the hub/switch.
Graphics card. A good reliable and cheap ATI expert 98 with rage pro
chip set (aka mach64).
It has 8 meg of graphics memory and is fully supported by the Xfree86
linux Xwindows subsystem.
You could also set the server up as monitor less and put in an even
cheaper graphics card. You could
administer the system remotely via telnet (I do this. What a waste of a
tnt2. grin).
This setup should get you a fairly secure and reliable Cable or DSL
router/server.

Subject: Prob with booting linux
Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2000 13:27:02 -0400
Hi!
I have a Suse linux 6.3 with Kernel SMP 2.2.13 installed on my
machine.It was actually working fine before but then to find out the exact
place of the kernel i made a change in the makefile.When i rebooted it,the
machine froze at saying "Calibrating APIC timer..."
I'm able to boot it from a boot floppy from suse linux 6.3 but it is not
booting the machine from the hard drive.I don't know how i should make it
work from the hard drive also.
Before my machine froze,the changes which i made are
i looked at /etc/lilo.conf file,
where the image=/boot/vmlinuz
In the /usr/src/linux directory, in the MAKEFILE,i made the change for
the install path=/boot where it was initially (before the reboot)given as
/boot/vmlinuz.
i did 'make install' and rebooted the machine,and that's when it froze.
This is the stage at which i am in.I thought i will explain the situation
at which it stopped working.If you have any idea about this,can you suggest
me as to what i can do?
How can i make a back up at least now before i make any more changes.
I appreciate your help. Thank you,
Santhi

Hello Lorenzo,
I happen to have the same card. The card will work with the newest version
of XFree86 (xfree86.org). You should be able to install linux in a
non-graphical mode. Download the most recent version of XFree86 and follow
the instructions very carefully and your card should work. Alternatively,
order Linux-Mandrake 7.1 from cheapbytes.com. That's the distribution I'm
using and it detected my card perfectly during the install.
HTH,
Melissa

You need to be a little more specific here about what you are trying
to do. Do you have a real ICL termnal which you are trying to
connect to Linux, with Linux being the host; or are you running an
ICL 6402 emulator on Linux to connect to an ICL host?
> When it's in Local mode it write anything you want.
Local mode means that characters aren't sent to the host they
are just printed on the screen locally.

I would guess the following for expansion of the abbreviations above:
FDX - Full Duplex.
LOC - Local.
BLK - Block mode.
HDX - Half duplex.
On modern equipment, including Linux, full duplex (FDX) is the norm. In
full duplex mode the CTS/RTS signals may be used for flow control, or
XON/XOFF may be used instead.
In half duplex mode the CTS/RTS signals get used to specify which
end should transmit at what time as they can't both transmit at once.
Many mainframe systems support a block mode when talking to
their terminals though the detail tends to be a little different for each
manufacturer. The principle is that when a fill in form is sent to the
terminal, all the cursor movement and field editing is done by the
terminal whilst the mainframe gets on with something else. When the
user hits the "Send" key (or some similar key) either the whole screen or
the un-protected fields are sent to the mainframe as a block. Unix,
including Linux, has, as far as I know, never used a block mode so this
terminal mode won't be useful connecting to Linux.
If, as I suspect, you are connecting a real ICL terminal to a Linux box
and it doesn't seem to send anything to the Linux box (or at least nothing
seems to get echoed back) then I would suspect the terminal is waiting
for some condition to be presented on the handshake lines of the serial
port. Check out the serial howto for what these all do.
Let me know if you want and further help.

Subject: Video Capture and Hard Disk Performance
Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2000 16:49:41 +0000
I have an Athlon 750 with MSI K7-Pro Motherboard, a Haupage BT878
based TV/video capture card and a Maxtor 7200 rpm EIDE disk.
I would like to be able to capture from the video card at full frame rate
i.e. 25/sec for PAL, or even reliably at half frame rate and write the
frames to disk for later processing - I have an MPEG compressor but it
isn't real-time.
When I first tried this it became clear that the disk couldn't keep up.
Capturing seemed to be fine for a bit and then frames would start getting
missed. Since then I have discovered that the disk wasn't using DMA
so I turned that on and the disk transfer rate went up from about
4.5 Mb/sec to 27 Mb/sec. I was expecting that this would solve the
capture problem, but if anything it seems to have got worse!
Thinking about it it occured to me that maybe the problem I have now is
that the disk is not transfering data from memory any faster than the disk
write speed, so it is tying up the PCI bus for relatively long stretchew
and locking out the capture card. I don't know this I'm only guessing.
So, what I'm hoping you guys can tell me is what I need to do to get things
working correctly. Do I need to look to SCSI for this? If so does the
interface speed between the SCSI I/F and the disk need to be high
(e.g 160Mb/sec) even if the disk itself isn't that fast, or does a decent SCSI
card tranfer data over the PCI bus fast (and cache it) even if the I/F to the
disk is a little slower?

I'm taking a guess here, but it could be that the output from the mp3 player
has once channel out of phase (i.e. inverted). People somethimes make that
mistake when connecting the speakers to their HiFi and the most obvious
symptom is a lack of bass caused by signals from each channel which should
sum to produce a louder signal cancelling out instead.
Two things to try:
1. Try a different mp3 player.
2. Try playing an mp3 recorded in "stereo" rather than "joint" mode.
and see if either of these things makes a difference. You could also try
playing a plain .wav file and see if the problem happens with that too.

You may need to use the MaxBlast software or you may not depending on
your BIOS - because of limitations of disk addressing (the 1024 cyclinder
boot limit).
It is a little while since I used MaxBlast, but somewhere it detects if the BIOS
has the problem and if so installs and extra BIOS extenstion where the MBR
would normally be - called EZ-Drive. One feature of EZ-Drive is that it
moves the real MBR to somewhere else but makes it look to users of BIOS
services (boot loaders for OSes usually) to be in the normal place, i.e. it
maps it. Linux understands this mapping process and will work with it.
Other than that there is nothing magic about MaxBlast and once
EZ-Drive is installed (if needed) you can use any other pertitioning tool
to split the drive into multiple partitions. You could so this from a Linux
boot floppy or from DOS. Once you have the two partitions you will need
to get each OS to format it's own partition.

I have a FA-301TX working, and it uses the Tulip driver, but it doesn't
use the real tulip chip, rather a Lite-On PNIC. The PNIC I have has the
part no. LC82C169C - real tulip would start DC....
I have not had any problems with the card in 100 FDX mode and it is
fast. The tulip family have a nice bus-master mode which means it doesn't
steal CPU time like many other cheap cards.
Unfortunately mine seems to have a transmitter lockup problem when
running in 10 Mbit HDX mode, i.e. when connected to a legacy LAN
or back to back with a PC with a slow NIC. The problem is easily
reproducable but only when the card is running full-tilt. I can reproduce
it in about 20 mins, but went a whole W/E using it for WEB proxying and
print sharing without a single lockup.

The PnP OS setting is not quite what it seems. If you tell the BIOS you have
a PnP OS you are telling the BIOS that it doesn't need to set up the PnP
devices because the OS is going to do it. If you say you don't have a PnP
OS you're telling the BIOS that it had better set up the PnP devices because the
OS doesn't know how. So, unless you have enabled PnP in the Linux kernel
then you need to say PnP OS = No.
