If this is the Kermit RPM, there is a small bug, using it on Redhat 5.1
It is looking for a terminfo directory that doesn't exist.
I don't have RedHat available at the moment, but as I recall, you now have
a /usr/share/terminfo, where the package expects /usr/lib/terminfo.
To fix:
cd /usr/share
ln -s terminfo ../lib
After that, it worked fine.
I used /dev/modem as my port, which is linked to an appropriate port,
if a modem is found.

Ok, I'm having rought times. We're trying to set up a dial-in service at
work. Win95 machines need to be able to access the network as if it were a
NETBUEI system as well as check email and access the World-Wide Web.

rest of the network is unaccessible. I've followed everyone's instructions
(thanx Josh and Charles), but can not see past the computer I've dialed
into. Any suggestions as to why?

Hi. i do apologize if my message sounds a bit too long but at least
you all will be able to figure out the sticky problem I'm stuck with
and may even know how to help me out of it. I currently am running
Windows 98 on one hard disk. However, since it is 7.5 GB and it's
32-bit, Linux won't recognize it when I first install Linux. At least
that's what I have been told and eventually found out. Besides, sure I
can download 500 MB in 2 hrs without any trouble via my cable modem,
but I would still need to copy it to a CD-R or CD-RW disc or something
and I'm not gonna pay $200 - $400 for CD-R/RW (in case you all wanted
to know why I would not prefer to copy to a storage device and then
install). I'm not sure if Linux will do it off my zip disks if I copy
linux to 6 zip discs. In any case, these wonderful people keep on
changing the versions of RH Linux. Therefore having got fed up with
it, I looked in the book which talked about RH Linux and how to
install. Well, I had versions 3 and 4 of RH but since some of my
crucial hardware at that time could not be recognized I abandoned RH
until I finally found out that if I had a direct connection with
Cox@home just like corporations and universities that have a direct
connection with their T1, T3, OC-3, etc... server, then you don't even
have to download RH linux. All you really have to download are the
boot.img and supp.img files and transfer them to two blank but
formatted 3.5" high density disks. So I did just that and booted up my
machine and when I got to the installation method option, I chose ftp
method. When I got to the ethernet card question, I 3c509 driver. By
the way, I still have the 3c509b PnP 16-bit Ethernet adaptor which I
obtained when I used to attend another university. Rather than sell
it, I kept it for something like a cable modem. In fact that same
ethernet card I had was part of the requirements for my cable modem
installation. Anyway, RH Linux never in the past had any trouble
recognizing my ethernet card. The only trouble was recognizing my
video cards,my parallel port zip drive, and my higher capacity hard
drive. here, in 5.2 that was not the problem. however, when I got to
the options of DHCP, BOOTP, and Static Address, I chose the Static
option and filled in my fields correctly. However, I got an error
message saying unable to connect to host. I fully verified the ftp
site address and typed it correctly. So I then went back and tried the
other two options only to get the "no response" error message from
bootp and dhcp. So the question still remains, isn't it possible to
install via ftp with cox@home and if so, how and what configurations
are to be made during installation?
P.S:
PLEASE DO NO TELL ME TO USE ANOTHER VERSION OF UNIX SINCE I KINDA AM
USED TO RH LINUX. ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME HOW TO PARTITION MY HARD
DRIVE SINCE MY 75. GB HARD DRIVE IS NEARLY FILLED UP. I PLAN TO

Subject: Newbie modem problem
Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 22:37:21 -0000
I've recently installed Redhat Linux 5.2 on a machine which also runs
Windows 98.
I have a PnP 33.6 EuroViva modem (the PC itself is a Gateway 2000 P5-133)
The install seemed to do most things automatically, including setting up a
link for /dev/modem to /dev/cua0 (which corresponds with agrees with the
configuration under Windows of COM1 for the modem).
I've tried using mincom, but can't get anything out of the modem.
Whenever I use the modem under Windows, whether or not I dial the right
number or use the correct modem settings, I get a click sound as when the
modem is opened to dial the number. I'm not getting anything (not even the
click) under Linux, so I presume I'm not getting through to it.
I haven't done any configuration beyond installing the OS itself.
What do I need to do to configure my modem properly (initially just for
ANSI-BBS type dial up).
Thanks,
Tim Hedger

Hi,
I *know* I've read this somewhere, but am failing to find it:
Requirement is:
1. Internal host hits the (Linux) gateway, looking for an IP address
outside the local domain. At this point ppp should automagically bring
up the modem line.
How can this be done? (I know it can be, but can't find the docs......)
TIA,

But did you recompile the kernel after installing the ppp-2.3.5 files
into the kernel directory? Did you replace ppp.c by hand and fix the
one problem line? If you didn't do this, see
http://www.tartu.customs.ee/linux/compile.shtml
for information on how to do it. In summary: follow the directions in
the ppp-2.3.5 distribution, but before rebuilding the kernel, copy
ppp.c by hand into the kernel tree, and apply the patch for the
LINUX_VERSION_CODE problem given on the above web page.

Subject: Re: mediaone cable and small home lan questions
You seem to have the right Idea. I have just recently (as of last night)
connect my Linux machine to mediaone. You will need 2 NICs in the
computer connected to cable modem. The reason for this is that mediaone
needs to authenicate the MAC address of your network card to assign you
an IP address via DHCP. I have not done it yet but I have heard that IP
masquarading is the way to go. they only problems that I have heard deal
with voice over IP applications like cooltalk and intelphone. I have also
heard that a 486 being used as a gateway does not slow connection speeds
down. Here's some of the resources I have been using
#Good user page
http://rlz.ne.mediaone.net
#Mediaone's newsgroups "I think you have to be using their server though"
express.techtalk.lans
express.techtalk.linuxs
express...... there a bunch of others ones too
Good Luck

Subject: samba and netatalk ?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I would like to be able to do a tape backup for an Apple PowerPC.
My tape drive lives in a machine running Windows NT 4.0. I have a
Redhat 5.1 Linux box that I use as a server for the local Windows
machine. What I would like to do is mount shares from the MAC using
netatalk on the LINUX box and then export those shares using SAMBA to
the NT machine.
Can this be done?
I just installed netatalk yesterday and can mount shares exported from
the LINUX box to the MAC. However I have not be able to figure out
how to go the other way and mount MAC shares on the LINUX box.
I am using samba 1.9.18p10-5 and netatalk 1.4b2+asun2.1.2-1
Thanks
Dennis Thompson
