All BSDs are *real* Unices. Linux is not (it's a clone written from
scratch). See the Linux FAQ at

Our governments'[0] attitude towards Scientology is another reason why
it's good to live in Germany. They are treating Scientology as what
they are: a ruthless international corporation with the sole goal of
amassing as much money as possible and collecting as much data as
possible about their members for maximum control.

Subject: telnet out of network issue
Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 15:35:23 GMT
I hope someone can shed some light on this problem that I am having.
I have been trying to telnet out to the internet, and getting to my
destination fine, but after every command I issue there is a delay.
The one answer I recieved on this said to set the MTU high. I did this,
then set it low, then set it various places in between. All to no
avail.
I also found that if I telnet to another *nix machine just past my
modem, but on this side of the gateway, I don't have the same problem.
So I started up a packet monitor and watched what was happening.
I type the command, hit enter, get immediate increase in packet
transmission, then nothing for a few seconds, then I get packets back.
When I do the same thing while running my Win install I have never had
this problem.
The only thing I know for sure is that *I* am not doing something right.
I just wish someone would let me know what that might be.
I am running SuSE 6.4, but had the same problem with SuSE 6.3, Mandrake
7.0, Redhat 6.1 and Redhat 5.2. I have had two different hardware
setups, the only thing that has remained the same is the USR 56K ISAPNP
modem.
current machine setup.
SuSE 6.4
Epox K7A Motherboard
Athlon 700
128 MB PC133
Matrox G400
SB LIVE!
USR 56K ISAPNP
The only thing really stopping me from not having to boot in WIN is that
I need my MUD fix and can't get it with Linux.
Any suggestions (other than stop MUDding) would be greatly appreciated.

If you live in Germany (or many other nations), because the politicians who

Please don't tell things like ATA 66 is supported in 2.3 or in the

I am using Viavoice in a command and control application with success.
I allow viavoice a limited grammar, which is well enough designed that
I get good recognition without using explicit training. For example,
"fit" is allowed, "quit" is not, but "quit program" is, so the program
would have problems with "fit"/"quit", but not with "fit"/"quit program".

If you are using a generic kernel, and
you have the kernel source tree installed, try looking in
someplace like /usr/src/linux/configs. You should find a
configuration file for that kernel (although it is remotely
possible that your actual kernel was made with a slightly
different configuration file). I checked on my RedHat 6.1
system using a generic kernel, and I found several configuration
files, for 386, 586, and 686. Each had the statement
CONFIG_RTC=y
which means that the Real Time Clock is compiled into the
kernel. I also found statements of the form
CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
CONFIG_PNP=y
CONFIG_PNP_PARPORT=m
which indicate that parallel port support is done via a module.
This is confirmed by looking in /etc/conf.modules
which has a statement of the form
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
You can also check by executing the command
/sbin/modprobe -l | grep parport
This will list all available modules and select from the listing
those which have the string "parport".
/sbin/lsmod
will show currently loaded modules, but if you haven't just used
the parallel port, the module may not be loaded.
Of course if your kernel was compiled by you or someone else,
you should have a file named .config someplace like /usr/src/linux,
and you would look there.
I think there is a very good chance the clock is compiled in and
the parallel port is a module since this seems to be the
standard case.

I think the installer requires a bit more space than what
your packages add up to. RedHat should do a better job
of warning you if you don't have enough space, but apparently
they haven't improved that much in their recent releases.
(I encountered a similar problem in upgrading from 5.2
to 6.0.)
290 MB is pretty small for an up to date Linux distribution,
even without X. I would recommend doing a custom install
and leaving out absolutely everything that doesn't seem
essential. That would certainly include X and anything
dependent on X. Then you can add things later easily
enough. In principle, after you have selected your packages,
the installer should tell you what additional packages you
need to satisfy dependencies.

WANTED: Champion
Requirements:
very intelligent
self motivated
inquisitive / problem solver
proponent of Linux
mature outlook
competant programmer or technical author or GUI designer
Several people are required who will undertake to investigate the value
of a piece of software to the Linux community. The software in question
is highly complex with many hidden aspects and benefits masked by a
deceptively simple interface.
This software is the culmination of several man years of work and
provides a highly integrated framework for the rapid development of GUI
based applications. It currently works directly on Linux without the
need for X11 (X Windows) or if required on top of X11. This software
could become the native GUI of Linux much as MS Windows became the
native GUI of MSDOS. However whereas X11 and MS Windows need suplimentry
development tools such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, TK/TCL, Motif etc.,
this new software is its own development environment. The generated apps
do not have the overheads associated with apps built for conventional
GUIs and WIMPs since they do not need to go through a "general purpose
do everything under the sun messaging API". As an example, a simple
virtual calcultor app built using this new software takes just 60 lines
of code to implement and the resulting executable is about 12k. The
execution environment is big, but no bigger than XFree86 or MS Windows.
This software is actually the GUI component of another piece of software
which was and still is the primary objective of the development effort.
If this GUI never gets to see the light of day as a seperate component
then it will be a missed opertunity but this will not effect the
original product.
This software is CURRENTLY not open source since the author makes a
living writing software and needs to ensure that should Linux prove a
non viable commercial platform that he can continue with other platforms
such as MS Windows, Solaris, QNX etc without compromising his work.
If you would like to make a big contribution to Linux then please become
a xebot champion. Don't be put off by the fact that this is a commercial
product. If things go well end user licenses will be available to joe
public for around $10 a time (far less than the cost of a commercial
distribution such as Red Hat, MS Windows or Visual Basic).

If you have a file named foo.tar.gz (or foo.tar.Z) you can do it oen of two
ways: gzip -d foo.tar.gz tar xvf foo.tar
or you can do it in one command: tar zxvf foo.tar.gz
But this option might not work on other unices, depending on what version
of tar you have installed. Just thought It'd throw that in here.
If you have a foo.tgz, I believe it's best to just use the latter opton:
tar zxvf foo.tgz

Thank you for the feedback,
The XK35c will not work on Linux. There were no drivers written for it.
The
XK35c is a GDI printer. Which means that it will only print from a
window's
environment. For PCL printers, you could use an emulation driver to
print in
Linux. Unfortunately GDI printers do not have any.
Currently, the next generation of multifunction products has not been
released. We as a support and service group are anticipating a release
that

Workstation 6.0.40SE. That is why I think I have the Worstation
boot.img.
Any help greatly appreciated. Joe White

The Scientology issue is completely unrelated to religious freedom. If
you seriously think that the "Church" of Scientology is a religion in
any way, you must be a damn fool. Actually, Scientology is the
essence of capitalism. It's a corporation that produces nothing, makes
enormous amounts of money and expands all the time, paying its
"employees" next to nothing (instead, cashing in money from them!).
It's unsurprising that this organisation has emerged from the US, is
most popular in the US, and that it has established a firm foothold in
the traditionally greedy personnel of Hollywood. (Scientology's ethos
is clearly being transported by Aaron Spelling's TV shows, to
mention only one example. Spelling is a Scientologist. A Scientologist
with an ugly daughter maybe, but still a Scientologist. ;-)
As for free speech, we handle that a bit different in Germany than in
a lot of other countries. The simple reason is that we want to avoid
"what was happening there 2 generations ago" from happening again. The
restrictions in our constitution become plausible from the context of
its creation and the fact that Germany's responsibility towards the
international community is paramount to our constitution. This is why
we've got constitutional articles of "eternal durability" which are
considered eternal and unchangeable truths and which cannot be
replaced or changed in any way. This is also why the German people
cannot give themselves a dictatorial government even if, by majority,
they wanted to.
It's clear that you probably don't understand that, coming from "the
best country in the world" where the general stance seems to be that
the 5.8 billion non-USAmerican people living on this planet are
completely irrelevant and that your country has never done anything
regrettable or even only wrong.
