One of the reasons linux is gaining so much popularity is it does
everything you mentioned (file server, allowing internet access to the
internal network via one isp account and 1 ip address.)
The only thing you will need to invest is time, which you WILL receive
a return on.
Three things I can think of that you will need to work with:
1) Some basics of the Linux OS it self (if you have any unix
experience then you are ok)
2) Samba for turning your linux into a windows file server
3) Masquerading (sharing internet access with your network via 1 isp
account and 1 ip address)
I work for a small consulting firm and I set up linux file, email and
internet access servers quite alot. I know you have heard the
stability and speed is outstanding and it really is. My customers
with NT have a different story, just last week I went in to a customer
site to remove NT from the server and installed Linux to eliminate
crashing problems and phone calls to us.
Feel free to email or post specific questions most people are willing
to help.

It would help if you posted your configuration.
Basically, ip address, netmask
Under identification you need the name of your machine and the correct
workgroup.
Client for MS networks is necessary under general.
Can you ping the linux server?

Modems can report the speed of the serial line to the PC instead of the
connect rate. This is configurable by a AT-command - please don't ask me
which one since I would have to search for the manual.

Why not? Mine does have some comments from the distribution. The comment
lines do start with a '#'. You might want to browse through the source
of the resolver to get clearness on this.

Yes you can. That's how I have my network set up. Here follows my
(chopped-up) smb.conf file, it should enough to get you going. You do need
to insert a password the first time you log in as root. After that, it's
automatic.
<deletia>
[global]
<deletia>
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
<deletia>
#============================ Share Definitions
==============================
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
<deletia>
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
<deletia>
# A private directory. Note that George requires write
# access to the directory.
[root]
comment = root access
path = /
valid users = root
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
<deletia>
[ftp]
comment = Download Directory
path = /home/ftp
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
<deletia>
Just some ideas to get you started.

Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 02:42:01 GMT
Hi!
I have a surecom EP-320X-V fast ethernet card, and I can't get it
running in Linux 2.2.0+. With linux 2.0.36, I could use the driver
provided by the manufacturer, and it worked fine. But with 2.2.0 and on,
I couldn't use that driver anymore because of a new PCI interface in the
new kernel. (Not because I didn't recompile modules.)
I looked up the web for my card, and found out that a Tulip (DEC 21140)
will do for my card... So I got the source for the tulip and compiled
it. No problem here.
Problem is, I don't know how to start the module. When I do
insmod/modprobe, it says "init_module: Device or resource busy". I also
tried specifying the 2 options that are available: debug, options. Same
error message.
I'm wondering, has anyone got this card working in 2.2.0? If so, please
tell me how....
Thank you very much
rwu

Date: 28 Feb 1999 21:46:04 -0500
***NOTE: Before you reply, remove "SPAMSUCKS" from my e-mail address.
I have a IBM Thinkpad 600 (266MHz PII, 64M, etc.) running both Redhat 5.2
and Windows 98. For some reason, I can't seem to get the external 9-pin
serial port to be recognized. Any suggestions, advice, or insights are
appreciated!
Here's some notes:
o I made sure it's enabled using the TP utilites, and I disabled the
internal modem and the IR port.
o I've tried various incantations of setserial v2.15 before I inserted
the PC card modem using the parameters reported by windows 98:
setserial /dev/cua0 auto_irq skip_test autoconfig session_lockout
setserial /dev/cua0 irq 4 port 0x03f8-0x03ff session_lockout
o I added the following lines to config.opts (comments removed):
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff
exclude port 0x2f8-0x2ff
include port 0xa00-0xaff
exclude irq 4
exclude irq 7
o I also have a Simpletech 56k modem and 3COM 3c589d ethernet PC card, both
of which work fine. Here's the output from cardctl:
[root@ferret pcmcia]# cardctl config

Make sure rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd are both running on all 3 hosts.
Use "rpcinfo -p [host]" to make sure both are registered with

Subject: Creating an Internet Node
Date: 1 Mar 1999 00:45:48 GMT
Hello all.
I and some friends are planing to create a small Internet node in Rhodes,
Greece. We are starting with 64kbps (later 128k) connection from Athens and
we just want to give permanent Internet access to 5-6 Internet-Cafe's
with 32-64k connection and to open a Web site.
Of course we need a router, a Web server, http/ftp proxy , name server etc.
I am familiar with Debian Linux so I am thinking to use a Linux
PC as a router AND name server AND proxy (squid) and possibly a Web
server. Is a good idea to put so many services in one box ? Is better to use
a dedicated router PC ? Or is better to bye a Cisco router ? I hope not
because is expensive ! In case that I use a Linux-Router is possible to use
the serial ports of the PC to attach 64K modems or I need a dedicated
multi-serial board ? ( Witch ? )
Thank you for any help !!
Also if you have experience about this subject and you have any additional
comments or ideas, they will be greatly appreciated !

I know everyone has already explained this, but I feel I need to elaborate a
little.
KDE: the environment (all of the rest of the stuff combined). It doesn't exist
on it's own, rather it is the collective of the other things.
KWM: the part that manages programs and their windows.
KFM: the part that lets you browse your filesystem (akin to Tracker in BeOS and
Explorer in Windows)
KPPP: the program that lets you establish a connection to the internet, using
PPP.
When you run it, you run startkde, and it runs all the programs in their
appropriate order (something I didn't figure out right away).
