Subject: how to load netware 3.12 client...
I'm a new linux user, using Red Hat 5.2. I've got linux loaded
succesfully, and dual booting between win95 and linux. Now, I need to
get onto the Novell 3.12 network here at work. How do I do this? I
made sure that I installed the IPX\Netware connectivity module, but I
can't seem to find the place to install is from within linnux.
I've also got a couple of other stupid questions, but hey here
goes...How do I mount a CD, and how do I get a directory listing? There
is no "file manager" type of interface that I can find, and "dir"
doesn't work.
Thanks for putting up with my stupid questions,

|How is a CSU/DSU used exactly?
It converts 4 wire to serial. It plugs into the network jack with RJ-45,
and has a sync, or async port on the back to plug into the router. it is a
very "dumb" device and has no in band capability.
|When a network connection is brought into the CSU/DSU from the telco how

Essentially as a media converter. It just also has some lights for
troubleshooting.

|does the CSU/DSU connect to a modem bank?
None of the above. A CSU/DSU is for leased lines. You may be thinks of
a TSU which connects to a T!. However, it will not pass chanelization, so
it will not be used as a dial up center.

Subject: Networking HP855c w/ Ghostscript filter problem...
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 09:02:00 -0700
Hi,
I am trying to print PS to a non-Postscript printer on my home network.
The network is working fine! I can print plain ascii to the 855c and it
works!
I set up the remote printer using the RedHat 5.2 printer setup utility.
Of all the choices listed for filter types, "Deskjet 550C/560C/6xxC
series" looked the best, because it supports both black and color
cartridges in the printer at the same time.
RedHat uses Ghostscript to filter PS to non-PS printers. When I print
the ascii test page, it prints fine. When I print the Postscript test
page, it prints:
Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .putdevicesprops
(1488)op_array(486)ox817bod4:Execution stack at 0x813ccc8:

0x8145fdc: 0x02 dict --Gwrx--- 0x0000 0x0814695c
I've traced the error down to Ghostscript. If I select either "Deskjet
500" or "HP Deskjet" filters, the PostScript prints correctly, but only
in B&W.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going wrong? Is there some command
line option that I've missed? Has anyone had success printing to the
HP855c in color?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hello there,
I am trying to get my newly installed Linux 5.2 to connect to my internet
provider using dial up.
Has anyone using an ISDN modem share connection scripts. I am having a
problem getting my modem to dial out. Once I get this going I want to use
IP Masquerating to allow my other two machines access to the network. Can
anyone share IDEAS or point me in the right direction.
thanks

Subject: Is my modem a winmodem?
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 18:27:10 GMT
Hi folks...
Having problems with my modem. Can get it to dial...but can't get it to
respond with an "OK"...Really slow when interfacing. Using minicom, it sends
only parts of the init string at a time...with a few seconds in between.
So, could this mean that I have a winmodem? or do I just have wrong
settings...could be incorrect interupt settings, because I didn't do anything
to set them. If it is the interrupt setting, how do I set it?
Thanks in advance...

Put:

in /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default. Then put:
+:alias:7790:2108:/var/qmail/alias:-::
in /var/qmail/users/assign (replace 7790 and 2108 with your "alias"
uid and "nofiles" gid, respectively) and run qmail-newu.
This will forward mail to *every* recipient, including those matching
local users, to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you only want to forward recipient that don't match local users,
don't do the /var/qmail/users/assign_qmail-newu part.

Subject: INN problems, should I go Windows?
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 19:08:38 GMT
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to push linux within the corporation I work fo as hard as I can,
but sometimes I stumble and I think this is the best place I can turn to.
Here's my problem:
My boss asked me to set up internal newsgroups on the intranet. he proposed
Using Micro$oft Exchange server for that and I suggested using our Linux
server as an alternative and volunterr myself to set it up. He liked the
idea, but the time frame for doing this is not helping me at all. Dead line
was today and the decision was made last friday in the afternoon. I can't
have linux newsgroups working by tomorrow, my effort toward linux is a on
dead end road.
I'm using RedHat Linux 5.2. The innd deamon is running and I can't connect
to the server using any newsreader client, problem is: how do I configure
the server and more important, how do i create new newsgroups (local ones)
Remember, I'm not going to be hosting usenet newsgroups (probably, in the
future, if i can make this work fine), we're only going to have local
groups. Is there anything i have to configure, like permissions, host
access? etc.
I've read a bunch of FAQs bust most of them will only tell me how to feed
news from other hosts. If there's any documentation I can read, please let
me know. I have read Linux unleahed (the two different books, Using Linux
Special Editon, Unix Unleashed, and a thousand of other books and I can't
find how to create a newsgroup.
Any help will be greatly apreciated, and the sooner the beter, of course.
Appreciated,
Luis

Subject: Linux Router (3 1/2 " size)
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 11:42:53 -0800
Hi all.
Most of us have dreamed of having a linux router a size of 3 1/2 floppy
(and it would not be a palm pilot).
Calibri-133, is a compact, diskless, programmable blackbox.
The linux OS stored on high performance flash chip (DiskonChip),
boots under 30 seconds. During boot - up, the image is trasferred
onto Ramdisk.
Here are the specifications of the box:
CPU: Embedded AMD DX5-133 (5x86-133) processor
BIOS: AWARD 128 KB Flash Memory
System memory: One 72-pin socket (accepts 1 - 32 MB)
Enhanced IDE hard disk drive interface: Supports up to two IDE
hard disks.
Serial ports: 2 ports: one RS-232, one RS-232/422/485
Parallel port: One parallel port, supports SPP/EPP/ECP mode
Infrared port: Shared with COM2. Transfer rate up to 115 kbps
On Board mini-DIN PS/2 kerboard/mouse connector
Supports M-Systems' DiskOnChip 2000 Flash disk up to 144 MB
NE2000 compatible on-board ethernet interface. (10 MBits/s)
Upgradable with PC/104 module.
What can you do with it?
It is ideal for use at home as firewall/router/NAT; connect it to your
internet
gateway and you can have a lan of computers that can browse internet,
all in the same time.
It is great if you are working on a project, and want to have a low
profile programmable device.

Your comments are welcome.

I've setup a local network of Unix systems and Win95 + win NT clients

Now my problem... I can't use my local Win95 clients to browse the
