Huh>???? Sendmailk is an SMTP server. I you wish to send it to a other
SMTP server, configure the smarthost record. DSsmtp.relay.com f.i.
This will send the queue on a sendmail -q to that smtp server.
I don't know if you mean this since it is so simple. (no offense)

The same goes for the 3270.
Though there is a commercial company that has ported SNA capabilities to Linux (I

Changing the irq via setserial won't do a damn thing to fix the problem if
the modem/port is not jumpered for whatever you're changing it to. And linux
is NOT irq 3 by default, the second communications port on the pc is irq 3
by default. Learn the difference.

Rackmounted hubs are more expensive because of their casing. 19" casings are
pretty expensive. Even empty ones!!! You need to pay 40$ for them. I really do
like 19" rackmounted hubs, since you can hang them in your 19" rack and make a
very nice patch panel. Wich can be very important in very large networks!
In a small-office network you can use a desktop hub withou any problem.

Through a search on dejanews, this doesn't seem to have been covered in
any detail, but if it has... please let me know.
I was wondering what issues are involved with using a Network Appliance
box as a file server for a bunch of linux boxes. Arent there some issues
with the linux implementation of NFS, that cause it to be slow and/or buggy

If you don't wanto setup a DNS server. (God may know why not), than
adding the host names of your clients to the /etc/hosts file will do the
same trick.

Do a ls /dev/ttyp* and count the number of files. If you have only 5 then it
explains why you can connect only 5 sessions. You can probably make new ttyp's
with mknod. I have then from ttyp0 through ttypF.

Hi everyone,
I am having a NFS mount problem during boot time.The error messages is

Trying to mount remote filesystems start portmapper. Portmap failed .
Can anyone help me out why this is happening ? I have no clue right now
from where
to start to debug this problem. One of the thing I have noticed is the
system is trying to mount the remote filesystems & then starting the nfs
server daemon process. I don't know whether it is normal or something
need to be done. Any suggestions are welcome.

What error do you get from DHCP? Have you got an entry in the DHCP
config file for the second card? It needs to be referenced in there,
even though you don't actually dish out any IP addresses on that
subnet. The DHCP mini-HOWTO is short and helpful.

Hi all!
Can you guys recomend what used ISA networking card should I buy?
I am going to network 2 computers. The other one already is a PCI
full-duplex 100Base-TX/10Base-T with Reltek 8139 chip (ne2000 for PCI).
Should it influence my decision as to what to buy? I have heard that ne2000
clones are poor performers.
What transmission speeds do you suppose I will be able to get out of it? I
know 100Base is capable of 200 Mbps in full duplex mode. Any ISA cards match
that?
Also, how safe is it to buy from online auctions, like Ebay? There seems to
be tons of old hardware for sale there...
Thanx a lot for any input!
