This is because Kermit tries to initialize the curses library

whenever you transfer files), but your curses library does not
recognize the name "xterm". Solution: make sure there is an xterm
entry in your termcap/terminfo database (I can't imagine why there
isn't one already).

That has to do only with transferring files, but since you are only
using Kermit to poke at your modem, this has no relevance. Thus you
can ignore this message as well as the one about unknown terminal type.

You definitely can't tell by looking at it. Most new PCs come with a
no-name Winmodem built in. These devices simply can not be used by
Linux or any other non-Windows operating system.
"/dev/ttyS3 is not a terminal device" is a good indication that this is
not a real serial device. The fact that your modem has "Win" in its name
is an ever stronger indication.
Anybody who reads this newsgroup with any regularity knows what comes next:
go buy yourself a real modem, and let's hope your PC has at least one real
COM port to connect it to! Meanwhile, lodge a vigorous complaint with
your PC vendor.
External modems are recommended for more reasons than can be counted --
they are well worth the extra few dollars.
- Frank
P.S. I suggest that future versions of Linux add the following to
<sys/errno.h>:
#define xxx EWINMODEM ; Process attempted to open or use a Winmodem
so that applications can give informative messages to users :-)
(I'm only 1/4 serious -- the software needed to figure out if a device
is a Winmodem is probably no more feasible than the software that would
be needed to use it.)

Dear Whateveryournameis,
I can't imagine why someone would pick you to slam with e-mails.
You might have wanted to include the following information in your previous note.
If it was there I didn't see it due to the lack of white space (some people call em
paragraphs), plus the whining in UPPER case was a nice touch.
Do you want access to the Win98 32 bit partition from Linux?
Or are you planning on just running Linux on the 700M drive?
Since your note says you are familiar with RH Linux, spend $50-60 and get a CD from
RH, then you will have no need to download, ftp, or backup any of your stuff, just
format the drive and go. Or you can DOS format a partition on the 700M drive,
enough to hold the Linux distribution, copy all of the distribution to it (via your
internet connection), then use the boot disks to fdisk, format and install the
unallocated space of the 700M drive under Linux (like using the DOS as a bootstrap,
instead of purchasing a CD, or Jaz, or CD RW).
Good luck & stop whining

Subject: How do you enforce equal sharing of bandwith under IP masq?
I have a network in my house with 4 computers attached to it each of
which uses the the linux server as the gateway to the internet through
IP masq. The problem we are having is that sometimes one user's
connection hogs all the bandwidth and leaves nothing for anyone else.
So my question is whether there is a way to limit bandwidth under linux
or more ideally modify that limit based on the number of computers
currently connected. If there is a howto or other documentation about
this, please let me know.
Thanks,

Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 14:47:57 -0500
Are you saying that you can dialin to the computer but can't see anyone else
on your lan?
First, IP Mascarading will allow your lan clients to use your dialin server
as a gateway to the internet. The problem is, people on the internet
probably won't be able to see them. I am assuming that you are using one of
the "local" IP Address numbers (10.x.x.x, 192.168.xx...etc). These IP
number will not travel beyond your gateway. I believe you will need a real
static IP number and then allocate a subnet giving each of your workstations
a valid IP address. Then, you will have to setup the appropriate routing.
My solution doesn't go into those gory details....I just wanted to be able
to dialin to my PC. Then, having setup my routing table, be able to use the
dialin client as a workstation on my lan. While I know I have the first
part right, I still don't know about the second as my second linux box (the
new gateway) isn't operational just yet and I only have two phone lines.
Once I have my second box up and running, I'll work on the routine
problem...
Have a Happy New Year!

when you compile it, use make bzImage instead of make zImage. That may be

reason.

I've got a similar problem with hitting the "add" button. With MSIE 4.01 I

Another thing is that I've had to ask my ISP to open up the various ports,

I just went through the agony of installing named onto my LRP
(www.linuxrouter.org) setup. I had to use a 1722k floppy as well as install
Debian on my HD in order to get at some of the files I needed. Anyways, I've got
two problems:
1. DNS lookups are slow. My ISP (Erol's) usually responds in about a second, my
LRP box usually takes 3-5 and as long as 10 seconds to do a lookup. I've got a
script to run "dig @rs.internic.net" and update the root.hints file in ip-up, so
I don't think its a stale root.hints problem.
2. named sometimes dies for no apparent reason. Here is what appears in the log
shortly before death:
Dec 30 14:23:17 livingston named[361]: Lame server on '155.20.132.209.in-addr.ar
pa' (in '20.132.209.in-addr.arpa'?): [209.132.1.21].53 'NS1.SIMPLENET.NET': lear

After this, I have to ndc restart to get DNS working again. I'm using LRP on a
Pentium 200MHz box with 48MB of RAM, and a dialup PPP link to Erol's. If it will
help, I'll make whatever config files you want to see available. Thanks.
