Looks like the sound driver thinks the sound card is configured to use
an IRQ which is already in use by something else.

I telnet to my redhat 5.2 box and every time I type a character it
transmits the data over the net. I can type faster than it responds
making the session seem slow.
How can I force so everything I type is done locally and then once I
hit enter then the data is sent over the net?

Ditto.
the PCMCIA HOW-TO suggests that the newer linksys cards need
to be 'enabled' via a dos-mode utility. i have the same card
in a thinkpad, and it looks like linux recognizes it (ifconfig
shows the correct information for eth0). Yet, i cannot ping
anything on my LAN. The HOW-TO author said he is looking for
beta testers of a linux version of the 'enabling program'. I'm
looking for this now...

ml.org is in the process of shutting down. One project was killed

transitional supprt for a year for a strict subset of the current users

The problem is that they have mangled my MX record for my domain:
cr322781-a:~$ host bang.ml.org
bang.ml.org has address 24.112.37.89
bang.ml.org mail is handled (pri=0) by cr322781-a.ym1.on.wa
Whereas it should say:
cr322781-a:~$ host bang.ml.org
bang.ml.org has address 24.112.37.89
bang.ml.org mail is handled (pri=0) by cr322781-a.ym1.on.wave.home.com
... and no, `host` is not truncating.
So the original question is, who do I get in touch with at ml.org?

Would any of you ever successfully have configured a Dauphin DTR-1 to run
Linux and use the internal netcard? When I tried to install RedHat 5.0 on
one of these it refused to recognize the built in NE2000 card. An old
version of Slackware seemed to recognize two different netcards in the
DTR-1. Could that be because the IRQ is shared between the modem and the
netcard?

Subject: Easiest way to samba print from Linux to Win95
Date: Mon, 04 Jan 1999 18:06:05 -0500
I am very confused on samba and using a Win95 printer. How is the
easiest way to go about it?
I have read about smbclient/smbprint and FINALLY found the smbprint
script at the smb ftp site buried in the source. But, no smnbclient.
The www.samba.org site is very confusing. I had to go to United Kindom
to even get the documentation page to work. The US site was only a blank
screen.
I went to the download link and only found smbfs2 2.0.2. No smbclient.
The only reference to it is a man page on the documentation link.
I don't really need to access Win95 file systems, just share the HP
color jet printer on it. And while I could run Linux on the other
system, it is really the families' den system so it in Win95 most of the
time for web surfing. (Love Linux and IP masquerading). Do I need to
compile in smb file support as a kernel module? I was led to believe
that this wasn't neccessary for only accessing/sharing a Win95 printer.

Subject: 3CCFEM556B, Tecra 8000 and RH5.2
Date: 4 Jan 1999 17:08:22 GMT
Hi folks,
I'm having problems getting a 3COM Megahertz 3CCFEM556BI ethernet+modem
PCMCIA card to work on my Toshiba Tecra8000 (European model, without
built-in modem). The card caused me a lot of headaches already under NT
but there it is finally working now (there seemed to be a conflict
between
the Toshiba's power management utilities and the modem drivers -- the
network interface worked fine; the power utilities don't work
anymore...).
I can't get the network interface to work under Linux RH5.2, kernel
2.0.36
(I haven't tried the modem yet). I don't know where the problem lies: is
it the PCMCIA controller (what mode should it be in: PCIC, CardBus 16 or
Auto ?), is the 3COM card, is the Card Services/cardmgr? This / a
similar
card is mentioned in the list of supported cards, so I guess it should
work:
[3c574_cs driver]
3Com 3CCFEM556
Donald B.'s modules load without errors or warnings. I tried both the
3c574_cs.o and the 3c589_cs.o driver. The latter as well, because in the
/etc/pcmcia/config file, I found the following entry (although I have no
idea what it's used for):
card "3Com/Megahertz 3CXEM556 Ethernet/Modem"
manfid 0x0101, 0x0035
cis "cis/3CXEM556.dat"
bind "3c589_cs" to 0, "serial_cs" to 1
I also noticed there's a (newer?) 3c574_cs.c file on the web that's
larger
(45585, ??? ?? ???? bytes vs 43533, May 24 1998) than the one in
RedHat's
distribution, but that one didn't seem to compile (a lot of parse errors
and warnings). If someone has experience recompiling the driver, I would
be happy
to hear about it.
Below is the kernel output and all I could find out about the controller
and the card. Any help or similar experiences with the 3COM card would
be
greatly appreciated!
Thanks -

Hopefully you don't have a winmodem, but to check it out, there are
two principle giveaways.
1) A winmodem icon in control panel.
2) A lack of jumpers on the card itself.
All external modems work (but if you're like me, you hate cables
laying around), and internals that can work in win3.1 and dos are
good, too.
Good Luck

Subject: Namensaufl�sung bei Modemverbindung
Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 00:58:42 +0100
Kann mir jemand helfen ??
Meine Verbindung zu Talknet wird aufgebaut , kann mich via PAP ausweisen
, bekomme IP zugewiesen und dann sollte es eigentlich losgehen
.......
aber sobald ich eine adresse via "lynx www......" aufrufe bleibt die
Verbindung stehen.
Der Name wird nicht aufgel�sst. Mache ich das ganze mit der IP-Adresse,
(wenn ich sie denn kenne) gelingts. In der /etc/resolv.conf steht
wahrheitsgem�� mein Nameserver:
search talknet.de
195.252.128.53
Ein ping auf den Nameserver ist kein Problem aber sobald ich
"PING WWW.TALKNET.DE eingebe, tut sich nichts mehr.!!!
Die /etc/hosts.conf enth�lt: order hosts bind
multi on (kann doch auch nich
falsch sein)
Die /etc/hosts enth�lt richtigerweise nur 127.0.... localhost .
Die /etc/route.conf ist leer. Kann Sie meiner Meinung nach auch, denn
per
"defaultroute" wird sie erst nach Verbindungaufbau angelegt - und das
wird sie auch.
Allerdings zeigt "ifconfig ppp0" 1 Error , 1 Dropped
Ich weis nicht mehr weiter
DANKE EUCH
