I use fetchmail to pull my email from my isp and then feed that to
procmail for delivery to my users. Yes, the sender is now root, but the
reply-to header is not changed so when the user uses reply, it just
works.
I would double-check your procmail configuration to ensure that the
reply-to field is left intact.

Does anybody knows how to make olicom gocard OC2220 pcmcia

Is there a list of generic drivers to try(Intel, 3com,rockwel...).

You indicated that you had checked your baud rate but did not specify exactly
how that was done. Here's a suggestion that may prove redundant:
edit your ppp-on script and look twords the bottom of the file. Specifically,
look for the line that starts with 'exec'.
Tword the end is an area like 'ttyS0' followed by a space and then a number
like 38800.
Change that number to 57600.
Good Luck!

I have successfully connected to my internet server using xisp; however, when
I try to browse the web using Netscape, I get the following message:
"
Warning : the following hosts are unknown:
home.netscape.com
home6.netscape.com
internic.net
This means that some or all hosts will be unreachable.
Perhaps there is a problem with your names server? If your site must use a
non-root name server, you will need to set the $SOCKS_NS environment variable
to point at the appropriate name server. It may (or may not) be necessary to
set this variable, or the SOCKS host preference, to the IP address of the
host in question rather than its name.
Consult your system administrator."
My problem is that I am my own system administrator and do not know how to
handle this :(
I tried creating the SOCKS variable, but that was of no use...

Hi,
you can look up the connection rate somewhere in the log files.
Or else you can check "CARRIER" message dialing from minicom.
If the modem does not report the "true" (DTE) connection rate,
append to the init string S95=44
Then CARRIER reports DTE rate, and CONNECT reports DCE rate (which you
better set to 115200 if your modem has UART 16550A).
Actually, you better check the list of AT commands of your modem.
When you download something by ftp, it says the transfer rate.
Well, if you transfer a text file then the rate is a few times
faster (assuming the compression is enabled).

I am trying to get ipportfw to work on an OpenLinux 2.0.35 box.
I've followed all of the instructions and everything seems to configure fine
in the kernel and compile fine.
My masquerading works, and I can view my ipportfw table of entries, but the
actual port redirection does not seem to be taking place.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Chris.
