Hi guys
In fact , Chris ,you were right when, you said that the pppd can do it.
I received a mail from Bill S (Thanks again Bill ! ) who clearly explained
to me how to write a few very simple scripts to make it work.
This solved my problem.
By the way I have also gone through the man pages of diald for a few hours
to set it up. It's a real pain and i gave up when i received Bill's mail.
I will now try to tweak the scripts to suit my exact requirments but i
wonder if you guys can clarify me on this:
pppd is only an on-demand daemon? What about a reliable proxy server that
will work with it?
Thanks

or wherever your X11 libraries are, it could vary
also, say all the qt stuff is in /usr/local/qt, you might want to do:
$QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$QTDIR/lib
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=$QTDIR/include
LIBRARY_PATH could probably be set to the same as LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I'm not
sure.
Put all this stuff in your .bash_profile, log out then log back in again.
Check the variables are set to the correct values with
echo $CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
Frankly it is a bit wierd these are not set, did you run ./configure ?

For what it's worth:
Neither diald nor it's predecessor /sbin/request-route facility are
'obsolete'; both still work and can be used to satisfy the requirement
of 'demand connect'. However, the recommended approach is the
demand-dial options within pppd, which (IIRC) invoke diald under the
covers.

Bahh.. Simply be sneaky about it.. grab a power switch off a junk computer,
open up the case and hook the power up to the junk switch leaving it in the
case and the actual case switch in place (although no longer connected to
anything). Then they can flip that switch all the want and it wont do a thing.

Not usually...
"Three tier" systems generally _don't_ have anything to do with the
web, or when they do, it's typically a new add-on.
Generally speaking, they are systems involving:
[ Database Server ]
talking to
[ Application Servers ]
which do things like managing transactions, calculating reports, and
such, which then talk to...
[ Presentation Servers ]
which is whatever sits on the individual's desk. Commonly this is
_not_ a web browser, but rather an application-specific GUI
application.
Notable examples include SAP R/3, Peoplesoft [when Tuxedo is used],
BAAN...

Subject: Turn on NumLock by default in future XFree86 ! ! !
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 08:56:40 -0500
It is truely amazing that the developers of XFree86 have not thought
this through.
In Windows, the NumLock is turned on and the LED is lit by default upon
boot, which is the way it should be.
In GNU/Linux, this obvious concept has not be understood. You can do a
search regarding NumLock activation and get pages and pages of posts,
which is a embarrasment and a disappointment. The fact that there have
been an avalanche of posts, numerous web pages, and ton's of FAQ's
regarding activation of NumLock in X, is a clear indication that an
obvious issue has been overlooked. NumLock should be turn on and
activated by *default* upon boot, just as seen in Windows.
p.s.
CapsLock & ScrollLock should not turn on by default, and currently, they
are not.

Then you might read things you can find at

such as
man ftpd
http://www.wu-ftpd.org/HOWTO/guest.HOWTO

At www.linuxdocs.org you can find
Securing and Optimizing Linux Red Hat

Nobody responsible ever said a Linux virus is impossible. Just that it

Quite frankly most office software, I don't care who it is from, is utter
shite. I write everything, virtually everything, in an ascii editor and that
is perfectly fine.
Let me ask you this, though. Which is better, the bloated, slow, POS that

I have the same problem with this printer. It prints some nonsense out.
Strangely enough, I have in the driver library an Epson Stylus Colour 800
by GIMP (the image editing program) which say v4 (works when I test page)
compared to Pro 4.1.2 which does not work. Unfortunately The printer
management program does not get it that I have a new printer and fails.
Only if I drag a file to the Printer icon, which in turn asks me which
printer I wish to use can I print out. I would also point out that I am a
newbie regarding Linux, so there you have it.
Keep me posted with any answers!

Pppd can do demand-dialing and idle-timeout but it cannot do filtering as
diald can.

Pppd needs no special help to do demand dialing. You can enable demand

Subject: Optical Intellimouse Problem
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 09:26:15 -0500
I'm currently running RH 7.1b (wolverine) with 2.4.2 kernel SMP on a VP6
Abit Mother board. I currently have my optical going in to a USB -> PS/2
converter going in to a KVM. For some odd reason, I can't get the optical
to work correctly under RedHat. 90% of the time the mouse will spaz out and
shoot to the lower left corner, and it will pop up menus and collapse the
lower bar (as if I were wildly moving the mouse around clicking buttons and
diddling the wheel up and down rapidly). The other 10% of the time the
mouse will actually work correctly as it's supposed to.
What this has led to is me switching my mouse with a standard PS/2 mouse
(trackball) mouse before I switch over to my linux box.
Also, on occasion, KDE will start up (and this happens under Gnome too) and
I'll have left my optical in during boot (no error messages) and my keyboard
will no longer respond. This is due to the optical, this doesn't happen
when the regular PS/2 is plugged in.
This leads me to two conclusion.
1) the VP6 MB somehow doesn't like to interact with the Optical, I've never
run W2K on it to see if it acted weird under that.
2) the USB support, or mouse support (specifically) for this mouse isn't
entirely complete, despite Intellimouse USB being a selection under
mouseconfig as well as (PS/2). I've tried selecting both, I've even tried
selecting Rev 2.1A or higher (serial) all to no avail.
Anyone had this problem, or heard of a solution, etc.
Thanks,
