Hi all,
Can a K6-2 work properly in a i430TX chipset motherboard? I know it can
handle MMX, but does not handle SDRAM or overclocking well (at least in the
earlier version). That could be the problem...
Any ideas, anyone?

Subject: suspend mode & ppp
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 04:46:09 +0000
Hello,
My computer has the feature that it enters the suspend mode after it was
idle
for certain amount of time. It then wakes up if the modem detects an
incoming call.
This works fine in Windows 95 and Windows NT, but when I run Linux I
discovered
the following strange behaviour. When ppp interface is up this feature
works fine, but
when ppp is down the computer cannot enter the suspend mode. When it is
time
to suspend the terminal blinks, the computers beeps and then continue to
work.
Probably it has something to do with configuration of dial-up
networking, but
I cannot figure out what is wrong. Does anybody have any ideas how to
fix this?
Thank you,
Alex

Subject: NetWare for Linux
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 05:21:52 +0000
I have been been looking at Caldera's NetWare for Linux download...
thinking of downloading it to play with for studying possible
NetWare-to-Linux migration paths for the office, as well as helping with
study for a CNA exam (before you go nuts... I mean "supplementing"
practice with a real 4.11 network, not "replacing" it! <smile>).
However, before I undertake something that could be potentially such
a massive pain... there are a couple of issues that concern me. First
and foremost is installation. Caldera offers RPM's for it's own
OpenLinux distribution as well as RedHat 5.1. This unnerves me a bit,
as I am running RedHat 5.2... I have no interest in changing
distributions (in this case, it might be considered a "downgrade"!), and
I have never before attempted to install RPM's for a version of RedHat
older than the one I was running.
Does anyone know if RedHat distributions are "backwards-compatible"
with their RPM's? I would imagine that for the most part it wouldn't be
an issue... but one of the RPM's is a "patch" to bring the kernel up to
version 2.0.35, when I belive RedHat 5.2 is already running kernel
version 2.0.36. I assume that trying to install *that* RPM would be a
VERY bad idea!
Last but not least, I'm hoping that someone reading these newsgroups
has had some exposure to Caldera's NetWare for Linux... I'm wondering if
it's anything like the version of NetWare 4.x designed to run on top of
OS/2. That is... a main feature of using it being that you can use the
machine as both a server and a client/workstation, and in effect "login
to yourself". This would be nice for some of the
playing/practicing/experimentation that I'd like to do.
Thanks for any help or insight!

After you stopped a job (in shells with job control) you can
resume it either in the foreground (attached to the tty) or in
the background (detached from the tty) by typing fg or bg,
respectively.

Microsoft is currently arguing that by bundling their browser with the OS,
and giving huge incentives for Internet providers (like lots of free or
low-priced NT software) to use their browser and not Netscape, that it hasn't
hindered Netscape's ability to get users to use their products. As they down
under - what a crock! A web page manager reported in the press a year or two
ago that when visitors were asked (via a web page form) among other things,
what browser they were using, the most common response was - don't know.

There are a lot of variables. First, if you're not getting a
dialtone, you need to verify that your modem is on the correct
port. It's no use worrying about PPP until you can dial out over the
serial line. If it is on the correct port (typically, it is not going
to be released from whatever setting it uses in Windows, assuming a
dual-boot setup), then you may need to initialize that port correctly
in linux.
If it's not a PCI modem, isapnptools may be useful. You can use
isapnp to identify your modem and do a software set of its parameters
- -- port, IRQ &c. After doing that, you may need to do setserial on
the selected port to `line it up' with the modem.
Then you can put something like this in one of your startup scripts (I
have this in rc.local):
# Sept 9 1998
echo "Running isapnp to install sound card and modem ... "
/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
echo ""
echo "Running setserial to set /dev/ttyS2 to IRQ 11 ... "
/sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 11
Once you can dial out, the PPP-HOWTO should prove useful. In
particular, I found it very helpful to first establish a connection
manually by dialing in with kermit, exiting & starting up pppd. Once
you've done that, you know what is required to complete the connection
and that is an invaluable help in writing your ppp scripts.

That controls what input key operates as a backspace. I want to
change the character sent by the backspace key back to the normal
backspace. I usually telnet to a number of other places in the

Does anyone have any experience with MandrakeLinux? I ordered 9
different versions of Linux from linuxmall ( 16 bucks for nine different
OSs!) I thought I might install Mandrake Linux first, and check it out.
Has anyone tried this distribution yet?...walt

Subject: Can't get TV card working
Hi all...
I have an Aver TV Phone TV/Radio receiver, PCI internal PnP. I've
installed the bttv driver and configured like is said in the READMEs,
but when I run xawtv I can't see any image, only a good sound... I tried
to change the tuner configuration (my card have the Philips tuner) but
the best image I've got was black and white, in NTSC and NTSC broadcast.
But here, in Brazil, the system is PAL-M and when I change to it the
image get twisted... What can I do ?
Thanks...
