I have a similar problem.
I use uugetty to enable dialin on RH5.2-linuxbox.
The modem answers fine, but it doesn't give me any login-prompt... and
after a second or two it disconnects saying no carrier....
my uugetty.ttySx-file:

Am I doing something wrong?
If so, what?
If not, why doesn't it work this way?
Please help...

Subject: Linux 2.0.36 NFS client crash Solaris 2.5.1 servers, but not 2.5. Lockd
involved ?
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 17:43:30 +0200
On our network we have a big Solaris 2.5.1 server
(nfs V3 and v2).
most workstation are solaris 2.5
the NIS+ server with NIS compatibility is on Solaris 2.5
recently I've added Linux nodes
using kernel 2.0.36 from RedHat 5.2 and Suse6.0,
with autofs, amd, and NIS.
when I use a tool called CSSC (clone of SCCS)
the solaris 2.5.1 server hangs.
I've tested on some 2.5 server and it work perfectly.
I've run the "delta" program from cssc and it seems to do nothanks in advance
lockf(), yet it fork() and do something I ignore.
it seems to hand when doing an unlink() which is perfectly
ilogical (maybe is the server crashed meanwhile)...
I've seen so many thing around lockd problems arounf linux and solaris
that I think they are involved.
note that the linux is only a client in this case.
are ther some patches for solarsi 2.5.1, for linux...
could you give me some info, pointers, solutions.

Subject: Windoze 98 can see Linux...but....
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 00:42:59 +0800
Ok, another newbie question.
Somehow, after installing Samba and stuffing around, I managed to get
Windoze 98 to see my Linux (redhat 5.1) machine on my local network
(only two machines so far through a 10Mb hub). I have no idea how I
achieved this, somehow it just worked.
There is something I still can't work out. The W98 box (which is called
Damien :) sees two resources that I can connect to in the network
neighborhood under the linux box. One is \\linuxbox\tmp and the other is
\\linuxbox\a_username
What is the file that these shares/resources get defined in on the linux
box?
I can see the files in the "tmp" share - but I suspect that this is
because I have /tmp path defined in the smb.conf, however, the
a_username share is asking for a password when I try to open it, and I
did set up a linux user account for a_username with no password.
(I think I'll order that Paul Sery book "Linux Network Toolkit"
tomorrow.)
Any clues?
thanks

You all might want to take a look at VM-Ware. It allows you to run Linux,
Win 95/98/NT on the same machine, simultaneously! It is available for Linux
right now (beta version is free). NT is on the way soon. The website is
located at http://www.vmware.com/index.html .
It creates virtual machines within sub-directories on the Linux box. Very
interesting concept.

Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 12:00:24 -0500
Well,
Just got IPX working over PPP. A few notes for you.
Use the mgetty packages rather than getty.
Test config on a normal serial port before trying a Digiboard, etc (if
applicable).
Get IP to work before trying IPX.
Once IP is working, check out www.tartu.customs.ee/linux/ppp-ipx.shtml and
follow the instructions to get IPX working. Make sure to get the ipxripd
program and create the /etc/ppp/ipx-up script.
Post if you have any problems.

Just do "ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/*inet /etc/rc.inet1" and etc.
I don't like R^ as much as others, but i can always change it.
You can get sources in .gz instead of .rpm.
R^ leanrned from the master (M$),
implements the standard (I did it my way).

Windows networking works fine over routers. The only "gotcha" is name
resolution. LMhosts. or a WINS server, or Samba can cover this. What you
may want to do, is set up a routed environment with private IPs on lan B,
and tunnel LAN a IPs. Or, you can multinet the lan B ethernet card, and
have a mix of IPs there.

My DNS and routing setup are fine, as I stated in my original post, and things
were working fine up until last week. That's when this strange behavior began.
Also, when I ping into or out from the linux server, most of the packets are
somehow being lost (could that be caused by broken DNS?). When I can set up a
win95 machine with the same DNS and routing addresses and it works, I don't
understand why my linux server doesn't.

Well, thanks, but I haven't found anthing relevant to my specific question.
Does anyone have anywhere specific to refer me for more information? The NAG
does not seem to address the issue. Thanks again.

But the router at site B will have a table that tells if 1) I know the
destination is at site A, so send it to A or 2) I don't know this address, so
it must be directed at the Internet - send it over the PPP link and let the
upstream server handle it. Correct?

Subject: configuring a cable modem connection
Date: 31 Mar 1999 16:56:15 GMT
Hi,
I've got a problem with configuring the Internet access by a cable
tv ISP under Linux. RedHat finds eth0, I put IP address, DNA,
gateway, netmask in appropriate places, and still no connection! I
can only ping my computer. What else should I think of? If I
reactivate (from netcfg) the eth0 interface, I get the message:
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Bad argument
route: bogus netmask 225.255.255.192
What does that mean?
ifconfig eth0 gives the following result:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:26:8E:52:32
inet addr:130.227.107.239 Bcast:158.227.107.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:1057 overruns:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Interrupt:11 Base address:0x6200

You don't use Samba for that, but Netatalk works pretty good.

My info might be outdated, but look into /etc/rc.d/init.d/Network and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth? or something like that.
