Do you have a .fetchmailrc file? If not, set one up. (I have mine in /root).
It should look something like:
poll mail.your.provider.com localdomains your.isp.domain.com
user ispname with pass isppassword is localname here
See if this does the trick.

unfortunately, the card is not PnP, and it is installed as an ISA
card. I tried removing and then manually detecting the card in Win98,
it is found, but will not work properly untill I run the 3C5x9 set-up
program (somehow it resets the card). I don't know for sure if Debian
supports PnP in the base dist., but most (like RedHat) come with PnP
support (isapnp), I believe. At least I have never had any problem
with PnP hardware with any of my RH systems since RH 4.0. I am now
wondering if the Debian install misconfigured the card somehow (though
it seems to work OK from Linux,every time) and this confuses Win98 when
it reboots. Thanks for the input, any other ideas?

Subject: NIC (NE2000) not configured on new system
Date: Sun, 3 Jan 1999 22:45:47 -0500
I am just starting with Linux, have an Open Linux Lite 1.2 (Calderra)
instalation CD and a mostly working system. The system is a 486/66 AST with
20 MB of RAM. It was running WIndows '95 without a hitch. I have the device
settings for all (to include the network adapter) components, and so far all
is well except for the netowrk interface (which does not exist). I don't
have any particularly useful documentation, but I have an NE2000 (clone)
that worked fine with '95. Can anyone tell me the steps to get my system to
recognize/install the NIC, or point me to some on-line documentation that
will answer my questions? Thanks in advance for an assistance!

You are not going to connect at 56k, the fastest you are going to
connect at is 33.6 . In order to connect at 56k you need a digital
connection "point of presence" (pop). USR/3com (same company now) has
some starting at around 3 grand US called Total Connect. The X2/Kflex
connections are one way and need the additional hardware to get a 56k
(limited to 53k by the U.S.'s FCC )... the min. connection for this to
work is a ISDN line and will work all the way up to bonded T1's etc.
The upstream of a 56k modem is still 33.6 .

PPP over ssh uses the ssh port (22) of the TCP protocol.
IPIP encapsulation uses the IPIP protocol, one of these from
/etc/protocols, probably:
ipencap 4 IP-ENCAP # IP encapsulated in IP (officially ``IP'')
ipip 94 IPIP # Yet Another IP encapsulation
encap 98 ENCAP # Yet Another IP encapsulation
Hope your firewall one of all these through.

Two default routes? That can't be right.
Remove the default route through eth0. If 192.168.50.* connects to other
networks, add specialised gatewayed routes for those, not a default route.
Also remove one of the two direct eth0 routes.

Using your own address (therrindur) as gateway is wrong.

It's very doubtful that this is due to MSCHAP problems. Repeats of
this message are what you would expect if there was no communication
with the ISP from the very start of the modem connection - before any
authorization has taken place. It's usually caused by a misconfigured
chat script although there are other causes. If need be, post the
pppd and chat scripts with the appropriate lines in /etc/log/messages,
including time stamps.

Subject: GDS Ethernet card model FE-1439TX NOT activated, what must I do?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Robert Neary)
Date: Mon, 04 Jan 1999 05:08:56 GMT
I have installed TurboLinux on a pentium machine. During the portion of the
install routine where it asks about the NIC, my GDS FE-1439TX network card was
not one of the choices (NE2000 compatible), so I skipped the choice. I am
trying to network two PC's one using Windows '95, to the Linux machine. This
NIC works fine for networking two WIN'95 machines, and it works when I install
Netware 4.1 on one machine...but Linux doesn't like this NIC.
I downloaded the Linux driver from GDS's web site, file RTL8139.O and followed
the instructions to install the module: "insmod RTL1839.O options=16" but I get
the error message "Kernel-module mismatch, RTL1839.O was compiled for version
2.0.29 while this kernel is version 2.0.35" I tried insmod with the -f (force)
option but it does the same thing.
I tried downloading an RTL1839.C source and compiling it on my machine but the
error messages scroll on for pages, so that isn't going to work.
After working with NT, Windows and Netware, I guess I am a Linux newbie, but I
am amazed how difficult it is to make a simple little NIC work in Linux? I
don't have a degree in computer science so can anyone provide me some
straighforward clues on how to make this NIC function. The goal is to have
SAMBA working on the Linux machine so I can see it in the Network Neighborhood
on the Win'95 machine?
Greatly appreciated,
Robert Neary

Hi! All.
I just wish to know how can I profile and measure some system calls such
as ipc and socket.
After I enabled the kernel hacking option, chose the default shift value: 2
and recompile, lilo, reboot my machine, nothing happened when I profiled a
small program calling a simple system call getpid(). Only the main() was
listed in the profile call graph.
How can I profile the system call? I guess it will be necessary to write
device driver. Could any one be kind to answer this question for beginner?
Thanks in advance.

traceroute to best.com (206.184.139.143), 30 hops max, 40 byte packet

I'm not an expert on SAMBA, but I do have it running on
my home LAN okay. The only time I have experienced the
problem you describe is when the name of the person
logged onto the Windows box does not match the name of
the person who owns the home directory on the Linux box.
maybe you could try "synchronizing" the names?

This is really unbelievable. I had RH 5.0 installed, but somehow I was
having some problems with the modem, and had the bright idea of doing an
upgrade to 5.1, since I had it around. Well, before the upgrade I could
use ICMP and "ping" w/out any problem. After the upgrade, something
happened that I cannot "ping" anything, and I get the following output:
"ping: unknown protocol icmp."
Well, did I mention that I recompiled the kernel to make sure that ICMP
is seen by the kernel. And yes, I get the line:
"IP Protocols: IGMP, ICMP, UDP, TCP"
while I boot the kernel. Well, what could I be missing? Like always,
any information will be more than appreciated.
