I'm using two Pentium Pro 200s, which is ludicrous overkill. Anything
in the Pentium range is probably going to be fine.

RAM has little or nothing to do with a firewall. All firewalls have
to do is pass data from one ethernet card to another.
In other words, 4MB might (MIGHT) be enough.

If you have another computer to compile kernels or whatever, 50MB
might do it. 1.5GB is pretty much the upper limit for any regular
Linux installation (you can use more, but 98% of people won't).
> 4. minimal ethernet card. Will a 10 Mbps suffice
The chances that you'll have a connection going past 1.5Mbps are
almost zero. 10BT is plenty, unless there's a lot of LAN traffic
(which is the situation I'm running into now).

It probably doesn't matter. Select a bare minimum of install
options. Debian is good for this, but it's also the only distro I've
put serious effort into using.
I'm a little fuzzy on the minimum requirements because I rather doubt
you can find a computer this "weak."

Do you need CPU power? A WWW server isn't exactly CPU-intensive
unless you run lots of server-side scripts, and proper SQL queries
will keep MySQL from blocking too badly.
The things that'll help you the most are memory and disk: the former
for a big cache, the latter for when the cache isn't quite big
enough. You might consider spending your money on a nice fast SCSI
RAID setup and a 512MB stick of RAM instead of a new board and pair of
CPUs.

Subject: Modem control as it pertains to UPS signalling

Hello,
What does this mean? And how do I fix it?
WARNING: Port must be configured for modem control in order to work with a
"Simple" Signaling UPS
I'm trying to set up an APC UPS with monitoring sofware. I've tried several
software packages and I think I'm stuck at the point where the software can't
talk to the UPS because of my serial port configuration. The port is OK as far
as I can tell because on boot up it probes the ports and looks ok and Minicom
works via null modem cable to another Linux machine.
The above error is from Powerchute but none of the packages seem to work. For
example, the ssd software from APC www site has me in a shutdown restart loop.
That is, it'll start up go through the runlevels and just about complete start
up when it goes through the shutdown process. I assume this is because it
can't find battery and thinks it needs to shutdown.
Mandrake 7.2 kernel 2.2.17-21mdk
Any advice appreciated
Thanks,

Hi.
I'm new to Linux planning to buy a modem to use for my dial-up Internet
connection. As internal modems are too much the hassle, what external
modems do any of you recommend? The likes of US Robotics or GVC? Perhaps
there are others you have in mind? How do I know if an external modem will
work in Linux? Or is it safe to assume that all external modems will work
for Linux?
Thanks in advance.

linuxconf is a Redhat thing, probably the same holds for sndconfig. If you
are running SuSE (much better :-) then try yast, or yast2.
Good luck

Quite safe to assume all external modems work with linux. The USRobotics is
very easy to setup, no strange stuff. You can check the Linux hardware
compatibilty list. Search google for it.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've been trying to set up my new USB printer (Epson Stylus Color
480sxu, USB model) for use on my Mandrake 7.2 system. No luck so far,
trying all the 400 models, as well as a few of the other STC models. The
printer shows up in HardDrake as an Epson 760 / M800C / 870 printer, but no
luck on any of those models, either. The printer works fine when I boot
into Windows, so I know the USB cable, port, and printer are fine.
Any suggestions? (besides get a different printer... ;-) I'm hoping
one of you gurus out there will have the magic way around this.
Thanks in advance!

Any ISA NE2000 clone should work.
Just be sure to get one that can be set as "Non-PnP", i.e. you set the IRQ
and Port by software or jumpers. I think cards based on the Realtek RTL8019
chipset are good enough.
Be sure to put at least 16MB RAM in the machines, and/or run a minimally
configured kernel/system.

Sounds like Redhat of some sort.
Really doesn't matter though, evidentally your path does not point to where
these commands reside.
You can find them using either
locate *sndconfig
or
find / -name sndconfig
I would guess they are in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. Once you know where
they are can use them by typing the full path, like /usr/bin/sndconfig or
you can set your path (a good idea) to include their location.
To see your current path use
echo $PATH
You can set the path until you reboot with
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
To change it permanently you need to find where it is set, probably
/home/USERNAME/.bashrc, you can edit the file with a text editor, if you
are in KDE or GNOME it shouldn't be too hard. Otherwise you will need to
use vi or emacs.

Just try to set your BIOS "PnP OS" to NO, and reserve the soundcard IRQ's.
Otherwise, try the following kernel parameter:
irqmask=0x0020 (or 0xFFDF ??)
this masks away bit5 = IRQ 5 from the PCI IRQ allocation. I don't know if it
should be 0x0020 or the inverse 0xFFDF. try both. when booting linux, at the
LILO prompt:
linux irqmask=0x0020

Beware the i840 chipset, it has a broken IO-APIC (with it disabled
responsiveness is badly hurt). Most anything else runs nicely. Lately I
have considered the ServerWorks chipsets the choice if you need 64-bit
PCI; otherwise, there are a lot of good boards out there (BX chipset has
been quite solid for a long time). FYI, a valid reason for SMP is to
maintain responsiveness under load; this can be a problem for web
servers, and SMP does help there. Often a concern is hard drive access
speed, since multiple persons may be reading web pages at nearly the
same time. In which case you should definitely consider SCSI, especially
ultra-160.

Hi there,
In my system I have the current memory configuration:
Slot1 : 64MB PC100
Slot2 : 64MB PC133
Slot3 : 64MB PC133
And no more slots left. Under the BIOS/Win95/NT/2000/MemTest I have 184MB
(192 - 8 for onboard video) and everything works real nice.
Under Linux (Slackware Potato, Kernel 2.2.17) it says I have ~ 62 MB
(65781760 bytes to be precise) of RAM! Prior to sticking in the two PC133s
it correctly reported as 56MB of RAM.
What's going on here?
The rest of my computer is:
CPU : K6-2 400
M/B : Jetway 530BF (SiS 530 chipset)
HDD and other stuff
One more thing, How do you get a PS2 mouse to go under X? Specifically,
what's the /dev entry and does anything need to be compiled into the kernel.
I have a Logitech WheelMouse (Optical, PS2, mousewheel)
Thanks in advance
Michael

If you want to be sure, buy an external modem, serial port. If you use an
external with USB it may be a winmodem. But the serial port doesnt have the
necessary bandwith to a winmodem. All external modems using serial port are
"hardware modems"
Hope it helps
