I have always installed from RPM with little problem. I
find it easier to install this way because it will let you
know what lib version you need, etc.
I still am at 0.99.7 so 0.99.8 might have screwed this all
up.
I must say though that it is really coming together nicely.
Running it with E 0.15 here.

Are you sure the cables are wired properly. Don't just pick a color coding
scheme - they have to be wired correctly for the 100Base cards to work with the
hub. Look at your docs on the hub and see if they give a recommended wiring
diagram. Otherwise, email be back and I will send you the proper one. KAS

Once I activated slattach, then sl0 was a valid

it was invalid.
My problem when I ran slattach was I wasn't
adding the "&" to make it run in background,
so I would run it, and it would hang (which it

sl0 would disappear.

I've got a zoom 2819, (I think) , which is an isa v.90 non-windows modem
which works fine with RedHat 5.0->5.2.
When you get the symptoms you describe, I'd guess it means that you're
inadvertantly sharing an irq with something else or just not giving
linux the correct irq via setserial. That's what I'd done wrong when I
had the same symptoms. I think I was set to use irq 10, seeing lousy
response, but then changed the modem to irq 9 (first in win9x, then in
linux with setserial) and it worked fine afterwards.
good luck,
mick

Hello Brave New (Linux) World,
The last command-line OS I was fluent in was on a DEC PDP-10 a quarter of a
century ago, so please be gentle...
Before I can spend a great deal of time playing and learning Linux, I have to
get my central PowerMac 8500 to take over the duties of my Viacom Internet
Gateway, but under Linux. I've been studying a lot but can't get ipfwadm past
first base. If I issue the command (for instance):
ipfwadm -I -a deny -S 192.168.22.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
I get:
ipfwadm: setsockopt: Protocol not available
Can anyone tell me what this might mean? I'm jumping in with both feet,
learning about IP forwarding/masq., but have hit this snag. I thought all the
required packages were installed in my system (MkLinux DR3, kernel 2.0.33).
TCP/IP seems to work in all respects (mail, ftp, http).
Thanks!
(P.s., Any old-timers out there? I've got some TECO programs on DEC Tape if
you like, if I could only remember where I put them.)
(P.p.s., Don't get me wrong, I love MacOS 8.5.x, but I figure it is time to
learn some of this modern OS stuff--especially since MacOS X is also based on
the Mach Kernel. This is all so much fun!)

Subject: Basic config of a SMC EtherEZ for both Win95 and Linux
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 02:36:37 GMT
We recently got the @Home cable modem service, and our installation came
with a SMC EtherEZ network card. I have the machine set up to boot
either Win95 or Linux, and I was finally able to get both OS's to
activate the EtherEZ card at boot. If there are others who are
interested in doing something similar, I've put together some web pages
describing what I did:
http://members.home.net/djl56/linux_at_home_with_etherez/
I should note that I run Red Hat 5.1. Basically the steps were
1. Keep the card PnP enabled so that Win95 doesn't have any trouble with
it.
2. Use isapnp to configure the card on the Linux side, using the same
parameter values that Win95 uses.
3. Use SMC's EZStart tool to set the card's addressing mode to
memory-mapped, supposedly the way to enable compatibility with an Ultra
driver.
(If someone would care to comment on this, I'd be interested in hearing
it. The Ethernet HOWTO just says to set the card for Ultra compatible
mode, but the only thing I could find in the SMC docs about that was an
instruction to use memory-mapped mode to allow the EtherEZ to be used
with an Ultra driver. Then the Ethernet HOWTO goes on to say that the
card could be used with a newer Ultra driver in either "programmed i/o"
mode or "shared memory" mode. Which is different terminology than SMC's
"i/o mapped" and "memory-mapped" modes, but I assume the respective
terms mean the same thing. If that's the case, then what does it mean
to set "Ultra compatible" mode? Anyway, that's just a curiosity for me
- everything works fine and I'm leery of messing it up while
experimenting further.)
4. Load the SMC Ultra driver.
I realize this is an answer in search of a question, but I hope someone
will find it useful. It was certainly a learning experience for me.
(I've also "announced" this on the athome.users-unix newsgroup.)

FDDI to serve outside world, but that is not necessary. I belive you may
layer squid proxies, to spread load even more.
For using Beowoulf you have to create programs from scratch - it is
special type of programming. I understand that you can't just recompile
Apache on to it. Beowoulf is a boon for scientific not gaming community.
Scientists often write large programs of their own to do the computations.
With beowoulf they can do computations very very cheaply. I do not know if
it would work for webserver load spreading. It may, but you would have to
take the coding process on by yourself :) Cool project, I would love to
