Linux is most defiately a high-end solution for what you want to do.
Take a look at the IP Masquerading How-to (or mini how-to??).
Be warned though, Linux is very demanding for new users. I would
suggest a good book or two to get the feel of-the-beast before
attempting serious networking. Some good suggestions include:
1. Running Linux - very dated stuff but excellent technical style
2. NAG (Networking Administration Guide) - from OReilly or free on many
Linux systems, located in /usr/doc/LDP
Good Luck!

I checked out this url and doesn't appear to be what I need. Evidently
there are several marked difference between slakware and redhat as
directories and programs you mention I don't have. I don't have a
mgetty+sendfax or AutoPPP which you refer to. Also there are syntax
differences in our options file (ie, -chap vs refuse-chap). Nonetheless all
the important things *seem* to be the same although I'm not experienced to
know what's the important thing that's obviously still missing. Could it be
you need pap compiled into the ppp daemon? The setup is for a small ISP
dial-in server and the non-pap functionality is working fine, hence I'm
reluctant to be installing new packages and recompiling things. However I
may have to as there's very little documentation on this system and I can't
find any mention of the program lmgetty on deja or online man page archives.
Does anyone have url for an ISP's dial-in setup, preferably with slakware?
Thanks,

My thought exactly - but I don't have another, and am reluctant to buy
a new card when it might be the controller ...
So I already posted another message to the appropriate (geographically)
local newsgroup, for any linux/laptop user who'd be happy to try
[my|their] card in [their|my] machine. Local is uk.southwest

Subject: Strange problem with ISDN when connecting
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 02:42:07 GMT
Hi,
I'm having some problems with Linux AND Windows 98 (which makes my problem so
understandable to me).
First of all I use ISDN to connect to my ISP. I also have a static IP address
and use both Linux RedHat 5.2 (with IP Forwarding for my LAN) and Windows 98
(as a second dual boot option). Everything worked fine under both OSes until
like 2 days ago. The problem is that although under Linux and Win98 my ISDN
card makes a perfect connection, I cannot send/receive anything. It seems as
routing doesn't work anymore. It doesn't matter whether I use Win98 or
Linux... same problem.
Under Linux I tried to find out some more and these are my results:
* /var/log/messages doesn't report anything strange. At least I think so
because the results when connecting/disconnecting are the same before, when
it worked...
* PINGing various IP addresses results in nothing. PING shows nothing besides
it's header.
* The really strange part (?) When I used another account of a friend who
tried to help me out, on my computer everything worked. The only difference
(we're with the same provider and also uses ISDN) is that he has a
Dynamically assigned IP address.
* SOmetimes when I type in route -e, route hangs when he tries to show the
results.
* No strange results with ifconfig.
So to finish this all up. I can connect to my provider with a static or
dynamic IP address but with static I can't receive anything (my card does try
to send something)...
What could be the problem? I guess it's something with my ISP but I'm really
really curious what's causing it. I had it once before and when I called them
up they said it had got something to do with bundling 2 ISDN channels. I
dunno what they meant by that but they fixed it for me (on their server
side). SInce their helpdesk won't be available for the next two days I really
like to know if there's something I can do or at least what's causing it. I'm
pretty desperate I guess ;-)
Thanks (for listening :))

Now I have the main showstopper bugs worked out on my system, but there are
still many minor bugs to be worked out.

Subject: Should I buy this Boca modem?
Date: 31 Jan 1999 04:53:09 GMT
I have been looking for a cheap modem I can use for voice and fax. I'm about
to get the Boca MD56EMS, which is an external modem that supports voice,
speakerphone, and fax, which is all I need. It's K56flex, which I assume is
why it's so cheap, but I will never use it for data - have ADSL - so I don't
care.
Does anyone have one of these? Is there a reason why I should avoid it?
Thanks!

There are PPP-HOWTO's in the Linux Documentation. If you have

Manually load modules? Recompile kernels? Hmmm... I just did an install
of RH 5.0 the other night and don't recall having to do any of that in
order to access my cd-rom drive.
A newbie may be confused as to how to get access to the drive once it is
running (clue: type 'man mount' at the command line).
One pays for power with complexity. Sure, windoze might seem easier
because you can click a pretty picture of a cd-rom and viola! everything
on it appears in a window. It can be just as easy in Linux too, as long
as you have the know-how.
The key is in having patience to learn new things. If you say to
yourself "Damn, my cd-rom doesn't work! Linux is worthless!", without
trying to learn Linux, then you might as well continue to use windoze or
a Mac or whatever OS you may be used to.
On the other hand, a user who educates his/herself will discover that
life with Linux (regardless of what flavor) can be rewarding. They'd
know to look in /etc/fstab (type: more /etc/fstab) to see what device
their cd-rom is. They'd also know that the drive has to be mounted
before it can be used. For example after installing RH 5.0 on mine, I
saw that my cd-rom was /dev/cdrom or /dev/hdb. So in order to use the
cd-rom I did the following:
mkdir /cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
So, the first line translates to English as, "Make a new directory off
of root called cdrom".
And the second line says, "Mount the device called cdrom in the
directory /cdrom".
I guess the moral of the story is:
If you like to learn new things, try other operating systems and learn
as much as you can about them.
If you hate learning, then stay in a dark closet with your Commodore 64.

I considered doing that :-). But then I'd need it on another Linux

Hah! I was ahead of you there.

Thanks. Not nearly so glad as I :-). You know how one can get
*obsessed* with getting something working? Long past the point
where you're even rational any more? (Then you end-up posting

having somehow missed noticing that the proper one does indeed

It sounds to me like your problem may be with your values for "local" and
"remote". Here's what I used prior to getting a cable modem:
mode ppp
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /usr/lib/diald/chatfile"
device /dev/modem
speed 115200
modem
crtscts
lock
local 127.0.0.3
remote 127.0.0.2
defaultroute
dynamic
ip-up /usr/lib/diald/ip-up.sh
ip-down /usr/lib/diald/ip-down.sh
fifo /etc/diald/diald.ctl
nodev-retry-timeout 60
include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
debug 0

I have two coputers(one use Linux and the other use Win95) and they can
connect each other smoothly by Ethernet. Last day, I remove the Win 95 and
install the Linux. Every thing is okay except the networking part. I follow
the instruction in the HOWTO document and use ping to test it. When I ping,
the follow message always appear:
...
24 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=1.5ms
eth0: CU wedged, status 0240 0000, resetting...
24 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=13 ttl=64 time=132.0ms
24 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=14 ttl=64 time=1.7ms
24 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=15 ttl=64 time=1.6ms
...
What's the error message means and how can I solve it?
Thanks for any help.
p.s. My ethernet card is Intel EtherExpress 16 and my Linux kernel is v2.0.34.
