Hi,
I have tried to install an old 33.6 Kbps modem into an even older UK
machine. The card goes in; I use isapnp and setserial to put the thing
on COM4, IRQ 5, port 0x2e8; I tell pppd to use /dev/ttyS3; the phone
line IS plugged in. This is what I see in my message log:

. . . and it should work. Of course, this assumes that you do not have a
static IP address and that your modem is on COM2. Change the parameters
above to suit your taste.
Try it and let me know . . . .

Subject: eql_enslave cannot find libc.so.4?
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1998 11:48:57 -0500
Hello everyone and Happy Holidays!
I have been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out
why I get the following message after issuing the command, eql_enslave
ppp1 mtu xxx (where xxx is the mtu number):
The message reads as follows: libc.so.4 cannot be
found......
Does anyone know how to get rid of this message? ie. putting this
library in the right place or re-compiling this utility so it knows
where to find the library?
Here is a list of what I have tried so far......
I can use this utility on my home machine so and I have located the
libc.so.4 library. It is found in /usr/i486-linuxaout.....Therefore, I
made this directory at work and filled it with the all the libraries
from my home machine.....As you may have guessed this did not work.
Next, I tried moving the file into the same directory as the
utility....Again, no luck.....
So, now I'm out of ideas. HELP! Thanks!
Sincerely,
Brian

Hi,
If you are trying to setup a mail sever with a DHCP address, you are in
for a difficult time. No, let's face it, you're screwed. E-mail servers
require MX records in the DNS and thus a static IP address for the host.
Bottom line: no static IP address = no e-mail server.
However, you could get your ISP to use their e-mail server for your MX
record resolution. This way your e-mail goes to their server and you can
use a POP3 or IMAP4 client to read your e-mail. Will this do?

It's all in the way you execute your pppd command. pppd will look to see
if you are using ppp0 when it connects. If it doesn't then ppp0 is used.
If it does then ppp1 is used and so on. The trick is how to setup the
routing. Only one can be your default gateway. The other MUST be
dedicated to vairous ranges of IP addresses. How are you going to handle
the routing?

Assuming your budget is not big enough for one of those get an
external modem. Almost any model will speak Hayes AT commands enough
for you to send FAXes, connect any ISP, and most stuff you care
about. You also get the benefit of ebing able to power cycle the modem
when your computer is unwilling to hang up and light that tell you
want is happening (in particular whether you are increasing your phone
bill).

You have been fooled by windows. All modems speak Hayes commands. If windows
had a "generic hayes" option it would work with any current modem. You rarely
need more than an option for any hayes modem for most of the rest of the features
too. (FAX has been standardised and ATZ generally enables all speeds anyway).
Connect with kermit next time and keep a record of the prompts. This
will allow you to write a good expect script. There are 3 major
vairants I know of:
1st variation: authenticate with PAP when connected (what my ISP used to like)
ATZ OK
"ATDT <phone number>" CONNECT
[now hit pppd and it will use PAP, CHAP or MSCHAP]
2nd: unix shell and some portmasters (my ISP's current configuration)
ATZ OK
"ATDT <phone number>"
ogin: me
ssword: secret
[now hit pppd]
3rd varaiton: Various others sorts of annexes (old ECS annex)
ATZ OK
"ATDT <phone number>"
ogin: me
ssword: secret
otocol: ppp
[Now hit pppd]
me and secret are not a valid user and password combination. (Actually I
have 3 dail-up accounts at present...). My USR external olnly works reliably
with the lid taken off. I will be getting a V90 modem from someone other than
USR (according to my ISP people using USR modems have trouble connecting to
them).

When I installed an IP masquarade network, this was pretty much what I
needed:
http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/mini/IP-Masquerade.html
I will be surprised if you haven't seen it yet.
It should provide you sufficient details to get it done. Just to
summarise:
1) Have you had all your PCs networked together? e.g. You are able to
telnet into your Linux box from your Windows box?
2) (This was from about a year ago. Maybe the procedure is still the
same.) You need to recompile the kernel to enable the IP-masquerade. In
the old kernels those days, you have to enable the "EXPERIMENTAL" part
of kernel config before you can see "IP-MASQUERADE" in the menu. This
was quite a stupid kernel config setup. Beware.
3) After reinstalling the kernel, your kernel is now capable of doing
the IP-masq. But you need to follow the Howto instructions, run the
"ipfwadm" commands etc to actually activate it. During testing, you
might want to do it on command line. After you are sure, you could write
it into your /etc/rc.d/rc* files.
4) Finally, go to control panel on your windows box to setup the gateway
info.

Hello,
>Can anyone tell me how can I setup the dialup network connection in linux?
That's kind of an open ended question. Can you clarify a little:
1. Is your connection 24x7?
2. Do you want to use On Demand Dialing?
3. Do you want to manually connect and then disconnect?
I can tell you my case. I have a 24x7 connection using a v.90 modem. I
use 4 scripts to do this plus a couple of commands in my bootup scripts.
Excerpts from two of my boot scripts:
========================= /etc/rc.d/rc.serial =============================
cd /dev
SETSERIAL="/bin/setserial -b"
PORTS=`echo cua? cua??`

#

# scripts. These scripts will make sure a PPP connection stays

Hi,
Look @ http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/
Then, in my ip-up script I have
# Synchronizing time with NTP-server
# next line updates the OS-time
/usr/local/bin/ntpdate -u ntp0.nl.net >> /var/adm/messages
/bin/date >> /var/adm/messages
/usr/bin/sleep 1
# next line updates the hardware-clock
/sbin/clock -w
/usr/bin/sleep 1
# End synchronizing
Works flawlessly!
