I've done something like this recently. I Installed a Rocketport with 8
modems on a server at my work. The first thing you should do to find out if
you will even get mgetty to fire up login. You could create a script with
nothig in it and then check the debug script checkbox. You will get the
terminal window once the Windows pc connects. check the allow keyboard input
checkbox in the terminal window. Press enter in the terminal window and you
should see the login prompt. Is this the case your problem is not about
mgetty. In case you don't get to see a prompt or when the modems keep
laughing at eachother. you might have to edit the policy.h file. Look for
the init chat string. There might be a problem there.
Whenever you've got as far as the loginprompt there might be some work to do
on ppp settings. In my case I decided after many hours of testing and
frustration to use the autoppp feature. After doing that I created ppp0-8
and a options.ttyR* file for every modem. in the ppp options line I've added
the option "file /etc/ppp/options.ttyR*" in those files I used something
like
192.168.1.1:192.168.1.151 - host IP : Assigned IP for the
remote
modem
lock
-chap - No chap
+pap - Use pap
defaultroute
crtscts
-detach
That did the trick. I never got slip to work.
I hope this will help you

Then it is odd that you started seeing the hang after you added a nameserver
to your resolv.conf. What does your /etc/host.conf say? How about
nsswitch.conf (if you are using glibc)? If the address you are looking for
can be resolved with the info in /etc/hosts then adding the nameserver
should have had no effect unless /etc/hosts is not being looked at first.
As a shortcut just see if you can ping the host you are interested in
by name from linux.
MAL> do i NEED to run DNS?
No you don't. Even w/o wins, you should be able to get by for hosts
in the same subnet _if_ your resolver can resolve the names.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
Does anybody know where to find a binary version of smbmount for kernel 2.2?
I've downloaded the source, but it doesn't compile (lot's of multiple
definitions, probably a #include to many or so). The kernel Changes file
says it's in the samba distro (it's not - samba is a server), and points to
an URL containing only a script...
I also found a compiled version, but it was compiled against the 2.0 header
files, so it doesn't work.

thanks again for your assistance. i seem to be making more progress. i
still cannot ping any hosts on my network by name from my linux box, but now
my linux server does appear in the network neighborhoods of my workstations.
i can still ping the linux server by its ip address, but i receive the
following error when trying to ping it by name:
Pinging whl31 [192.168.34.0] with 32 bytes of data:

however, when i type ifconfig at the linux server, it tells me that it's ip
address is 192.168.34.6 NOT 192.168.34.0.
when i try to access the linux server through a workstation network
neighborhood, i receive the following dialog box:

I'm trying to poll for private mib values and haven't figured out how to
install the mibs on the box. I maintain an HP OpenView machine and have
coppied the mib files over to the Redhat machine into /usr/share/snmp/mibs.
Now how do I use them?
When I execute the command:
snmpget host public 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.43.3
I get:
Error in packet
Reason (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
This name doesn't exist: system.sysUpTime.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.43.3
Now why is the system defaulting to system.sysUpTime? The initial 1.3. should
default to .iso.org. Is there a default setting somewhere?
What am I missing?
Please copy any reply to email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am familiar with two. Sendmail and Smail. Smail is somewhat more
simplistic then Senedmail, but it is more than dequate to take care off
the mail for about 10 domains. If you want more power, use Sendmail, but
you vill also hava a harder time to configure the server.

Subject: Newbie: Cable modem on 486 as router and firewall
Date: 24 Feb 1999 21:47:18 GMT
Newbie needs help: I'm new to networking and Linux so please be
patient with me. After reading through many HOW-TOs, I've finally
got my network to run, but not efficiently.
I have a 486 DX33 w/ 16mb RAM that is set up as a router and
firewall box for an incoming cable modem connection. There's also
a secondary nic that will route packets to my subnet. All that
works but the throughput is very slow. I'm using RH 5.2 with
IP Masq enabled. Inside the 486 are two Intel Etherexpress 10BT
cards. FYI, I'm on Time Warner Road Runner.
I have two other PCs on the subnet(a PII 300 and P 100). When
I try to download with either one of these PC I get around or
less than 20K/sec using Netscape. That is way below what I would
expect. I understand it could be the site that is slow or plainly
Internet traffic. Both of these PCs were either running Win98 or
RH 5.2 during the transfer sessions.
However, as a test, I hooked up the cable modem line directly to my
PII 300 running Windows 98. I got approximately 80K/sec downloading
Netscape Communicator.
My questions are:
Could the 486 be the bottleneck? ie: too slow?
Are there any performance tuning I can set or adjust on my
486 or even my PCs?
Routing, firewalling policies, etc?
Does anyone have a similar setup that they would like to share with
me? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

moving from office (where I've set up an IBM AIX v4.3.2 DHCP server and
Dynamic DNS for our laptop community) to home. All's nearly well; running
the server in debug and watching the messages shows that the DHCP request

I am pretty sure that it is 9100/tcp (not udp), try
"cat <textfile> | telnet JetDirectHost 9100". We use a filter called
"tcpf", in C source form freely distributed by Cisco, to wrap around
SystemV printer interface scripts for these printers (and for printers
on terminal servers, milan fastport etc.). This gives better
control over pitch,font etc.; what jetadmin does here is essentially
the same.

Stuff like MS Frontpage is not used by professionals, that's true. But there
are alot of excellent WYSIWYG HTML tools (like Dreamweaver) that allow great
flexibility (like giving you the code any time you ask for it) and keeping the
code very clean.
You will never 'hand-code' anything good nowadays or it will take you at least
a month or so (that's for one good 'page')
PS I'm not at all a 'professional' but i know a thing or two about HTML
