See if it shows up in boot messages in /var/log/dmesg or
/var/log/messages. If you have a Com1 port that is usually the first
serial port (ttyS00 in boot messages is serial port /dev/ttyS0). If you
have an infrared port (IrDA) that will be another serial port (may show as
8250 UART if not configured).
Try any likely ports with minicom, and if none of them respond to AT codes
you likely have a brain dead controllerless modem. See
http://www.linmodems.org/ to see if there is any support for it.

You are probably looking to configure your conf.modules. This will probably
do:
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,none,none,none
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_base=0x3f0 ft_fdc_irq=6 ft_fdc_dma=2
pre-install ftape-internal /usr/local/bin/swapout 15
I have this for a Colorado Jumbo 350.
The relevant info is in the ftape docs, HOWTO, and man page although it
takes a bit of digging to find what you need.

Do you have the ip_masq_ftp module loaded on your main box? I had trouble
logging in with CVS from my laptop and it did not dawn on me what the
problem was until I also had trouble using gftp. Now I added the
following to my masq script and CVS works fine:
/sbin/insmod ip_masq_ftp
Otherwise if you are blocking ports with ipchains there may be a problem
there.

<sigh> I tried it manually and did something wrong as now when I boot up
my mouse

config
file to read what it did originally, if I could only get to it. I have
X set to
load automatically and when it does, I of course can't use the mouse to
open the

do it. Is
there a way to get the panel to recognize keyboard inputs? Or someway

It would not be surprising if your internal modem were a winmodem
(also calleda softmodem). Linux cannot communicate with softmodems
unless the vendor has provided a driver. They are typically
designed just to be used with Windows.

Well, you could set up a cron job to do a 'netstat -i' at the stroke
of midnight on the first of every month.
For speed, I usually:
netstat -i;sleep 60;netstat -i

Two thoughts. Can you CRTL-ALT-FN2 to get to another virtual console? If
that fails, when you boot, type in "linux single" at the LILO prompt.
This will boot you into single user mode. You may also want to change
your default run level in /etc/inittab to 3 until you iron our your bugs
with X.
You did not mention ... PS/2 or serial mouse? You may want to post the
pointing device section of your XF86Config file. We may be able to
spot something.

I think the main problem will be if they want to show up at your door to
do the install and test it. They will of course expect to see that
familiar Windoze desktop.
Assuming that they will let you do the install, the Roaring Penguin
PPPoE client is quite painless. I did not do any hand editing of files,
instead using the "adsl-setup" script that came with the client As I
recall, all you needed to know is your DSL login name and password, and
the IP addresses for your DNS servers. It prompts for this information
and does all the file configuration for you.

Does your vertical refresh parameter really read "Vertfresh"? The correct

No, but that's not what you saw happen.
When you cat a binary file (and pdf's are binary), you send lots of junk
to your screen, some of which is interpreted by the console driver or
perhaps xterm or an xterm-wannabe. (Which you want, of course, since
that screen driver interprets things like 'move cursor to row 3,
column 10' and 'set color to bright red on black'.)
Quite often when you feed your console driver or other vt100 emulator
garbage, they do unexpected things. This can be anything up to and
including enough stuff to close the session.
Bash was running just fine. As was whatever was doing the vt100
emulation... don't dump garbage at your console or xterm if you want
them to behave in easy to predict ways.

Those CD's that comes with the isps are usally for the average windows98 - wait - for

Subject: Connect Linux to internet with DCHP?
Date: 4 Jun 2000 21:21:11 GMT
Hello, there.
I am having troubles to connect my Linux box to internet
through cable modem. I am now using MediaOne Road Runner
service. It requires that IP address is obtained dynamically.
My computer is a Pentium 120 with 64 MB RAM. I installed Red
Hat Linux 6.0 with kernal 2.2.5-15. I installed two Linksys
Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 Network Cards. I
used netcfg to allow eth0 to boot with configuration
protocol "dhcp". There is no static IP address in the /etc/hosts
file except the loopback IP. And there is a module tulip.o
in /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net directory. But when I run "depmod -a",
I got nothing.
Each time I re-boot the machine, I will get following error:
Bring up interface eth0: Determining IP information of eth0,
... Operation failed
When I login, I run "dmesg | grep eth0" and got:
eth0: Macronix 98715 PMAC at 0xfc00, 00 20 78 e1 23 76, IRQ 10.
eth0: EEPROM default media type MII 100baseT4.
I then run ifconfig to check the network interfaces,
I can only see "lo" and "eth1". After I use "ifconfig eth0 up",
or use netcfg to activate eth0, I will see all three interfaces.
The detail information are:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:78:E1:23:76
UP BROADCAST DEBUG RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

RX packets:158 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:158 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
Please note: Both the HWaddresses are correct. And the computer
can be connected to the internet through Ethernet Card 1 (which
is eth0) in Windows 98.
I suppose there should be a daemon "dhcpcd". But when I run
"ps -u root | grep dhcp", I got nothing.
I read /var/doc/mini/DHCPcd, seems it says that there is a
file in /etc/rc.d called "rc.inet1". I don't have such a file
in that directory. I created one such file, add "/sbin/dhcpcd"
and reboot the machine, I got the same error.
I manually started the "/sbin/dhcpcd" and then use netcfg to
activate eth0, I still got the "operation failed" error. And
in one minute, the "dhcpcd" dies.
Do you have any idea about how to make those network card works?
Thanks in advance.

You're probably running pump as the DHCP client. "ps ax | grep pump"
to check to see if it's running. If you want to use dhcpcd (which
I did because of some problems with pump), you should check out
this site.
http://www.scrounge.org/linux/dhcpcd.html
To view loaded modules, type "lsmod". It appears that the tulip
driver is working since it configures the NIC. You're going to
get an error by brining up the interface when trying to negotiate
an IP address by manually starting the DHCP client. What you want
is to bring the interface down "ifdown eth0". Make certain that
the DHCP client is killed which is probably pump "killall pump".
Bring the interface up manually "ifconfig eth0 up" and then load
the DHCP client "pump -i eth0" (from memory, double check) or
"dhcpcd eth0". If you're going to stick with pump, make sure it's
updated to the latest version.
