Subject: Bought modem to work in LINUX!
Hi y'all-
I've been reading all the msgs. to the effect "How do I know if I'm
getting a Winmodem?" with some interest, because I wanted to buy a 56K
v. 90 modem.
I decided after a lot of fruitless searching to try this: I contacted a
supplier who advertised in Linux Journal, April '99, p. 64, called "ASA
Computers".
http://www.asacomputers.com/
They had marked one modem in their list as a Winmodem: "COMM56IUSRO
...WINMODEM!!!! TO BE USED WITH WINDOWS ONLY!!". So it seemed their
advertisement in LJ plus this note implied they know about Linux. (Does
that follow? :)
I ordered a USR/3Com 56K data/fax/voice V.90 internal modem, came to
about US$80 total with S/H by UPS plus California sales tax. In the
on-line order form and by separate e-mail I emphasized that I wanted a
modem that works with Linux, otherwise forget it. They e-mailed back,
"Don't worry, it will work in Linux".
It came today. It's ISA and PNP, but pnptools can handle the latter
(and my last, 28.8K modem was PNP anyhow). They were right, it works in
Linux, I get about 50K+ connects.
They have cheaper modems than this advertised, also, but I can't speak
for these.
I have no connection with this outfit. Seems to me that if they started
marking their modems as useable in Linux, they might get a lot of
business from us sort of folks.
Thought I'd share my modem adventure, in case it helps anyone else.

I don't really know what I'm doing, but it all manages to work...
I switched from leafnode to INN a bit back, because I wanted to
get news from multiple sources (which leafnode supports now, but
didn't then) and use mail2news.pl to put my mailing lists into
newsgroups. I'm using NewsX to fetch news on my modem-linked home
machine.
At the time, INN 2.2 wasn't out yet, but the feature list was.
Two specific features were equivalents for mail2news.pl and NewsX.
Since 2.2 wasn't out yet, I installed 2.1 and used the add-ons.
Now that 2.2 is out, can anyone comment on these features? Does
the mailing list bridge properly thread messages mail2news.pl
gets the subject right, but doesn't thread anything.
I know using INN for a single machine is a slight bit of overkill,
but it meets my needs. As a parent, it also lets me keep a bit
better control over what comes into the house.

Hi, I currently had to take over a pre-existing setup with an IP-MASQed
setup. I'm slowly learning the ins and outs of it, and one thing that has
me stumbling is where I can find out about the router gateway address
assigned on the linux box. I looked for a file called /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
but it doesn't exist. Where else could I look for this file? Or, where can
I find out which file it resides in? If you want you may email me at

Subject: mod_rewrite not working
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 00:48:18 GMT
I am trying to use the mod_rewrite module, but apache doesn't seem to be
loading it. When I configured apache, I did typed:
configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=most
So in theory the mod_rewrite module should have been installed. yet, when I
add teh single line: "RewriteEngine on" to the httpd.conf file, and I run a
configtest on that file, the computer reports:
"Syntax error on line 318 of /usr/local/apache/etc/httpd.conf: Invalid
command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration"
What gives? The mod_rewrite.so file is in the libexec.
I am at a loss.

If you have trouble with the password try setting up a guest account

establish that you have it set up correctly. It was helpful to me

About the "access denied," see below for my guesses...
The country information may be a result of which DOS you're using
within DOSemu. My RedHat (5.1) shipped with a copy of FreeDOS
installed, though I had better results in the past installing an unused
copy of MS-DOS 6.22 under DOSemu.

The docs I've read suggest this isn't a bug but a choice of the
programmer. Apparently checking free space across the network is very
slow, so he chose to return 0 instead. Unfortunately this breaks a lot
of DOS programs.

Again, this may be a limitation of freeDOS, I can't say.
> I mount the volume with "ncpmount -S [the Novell volume] /mnt/e: -U

Ok, first, you're not using the -V switch, so you're mounting every
volume on the server, which may well be what you want but probably
isn't. If you add a volume name with -V, you'll probably see fewer
warnings and things'll be faster.
Second, you're using colons in the mount-point names, which may well
work but is probably a Bad Idea. Better to make mount points under
/mnt/net, for example /mnt/net/sys, /mnt/net/public, etc.
Third, you're connecting as user "ftp" and suppressing passwords,
which means you can only connect as a public user with no password.
Much better would be to connect as your username. ncpmount will prompt
you for your password, or you can use -P to specify it if you've got an
automated script.
Try something like:
ncpmount -S MY_SERVER -V SYS /mnt/net/sys -U username -P password

THis probably means you've not got IPX configured right and trying
with ncpmount forces it to be configured. This isn't my area; can
anybody suggest?

This is beyond my ken, but may be a result of using colons (often an
illegal filename character) as mount-points. Of course, Netware might
be doing that for (to?) you...

If memory serves, ncpfs will only talk to 4.x if there's bindery
emulation installed on the server. Other than that, the username/
password command-line switches will help.

Investigate IPX under Linux, (/usr/src/linux/Documentation et al)
Investigate ncpfs, ncpmount, and look for some HOWTOs...

Linux _can_ do it, it just needs some setting up. Please, if anyone
else can comment on this, please do, since I've been researching this
and need any info possible.

Subject: Routing question
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 23:47:15 -0500
My goal is to setup a packet filter using ipchains on my network. The
packet
filter will screen two web servers and some workstations that need to surf
the web. I don't need to use masquerading as I have a block of "real" ip
addresses. Some quick background info:
* I have a four bit subnetted class 'C' address
* my subnet has its own private port to my ISP's router
* I don't have permission to change rules on the ISP's router
The machine has been configured and tested using private IP's and a couple
of test machines to make sure everything is ok (ie tested my firewall rules,
tested routing, etc). I now need to integrate the packet filter onto my
network
live. Here lies the problem:
How do I get my packet filter to "grab" all packets coming from my ISP's
router, regardless as to which host those packets are addressed to within
my subnet? In other words, I need my packet filter to work within the
confines
of one subnet. I can't have, for example, eth0 be on one subnet and eth1 be
on another. It seems to me that I need to ask my ISP to make eth0 (the
address
of eth0 on the packet filter that is...) the default gateway for all packets
going into my subnet.
I've read all the relevant HOWTO's (ipchains, net3, masquerading) and some
others. I just need a little nudge in the right direction here. Thanks for
any help
you can provide.

3Com assumes everybody has gobs of assorted machines laying around to do

No, ppp is so slow compared to the computer that it does not matter what

Subject: bandwidth budgeting
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 04:25:08 GMT
This seems like it would be a popular topic but I didn't find
'bandwidth' in the group currently. Sorry if this is old hat:
My work has a 128K ISDN and we're adding a web site in-house that we
hope will grow to become fairly popular. The site offers
psychological testing to psychologists' clients. So the traffic will
be (1) test-taker hits site, enters some demographics, (2) many many
pages fly out and responses fly back as the test-taker responds, (3)
an email will go out to the psychologist.
Now I'm figuring that the average person has a connect rate of about
39K bps and that people will spend only a few seconds reading and
responding to questions. So by my calculations we can support about
27 (128/(39/8)) simulataneous users before we become the bottle neck.
Is that accurate? (Or should that be 128/39=3.3?)
Now, everyone tells us that 128K is nothing so we're thinking of
bringing in a fractional 256K T1. I think we would route that
directly into a subnet containing only the Linux server. But I guess
256K is twice nothing.
An alternative is colocation where 3 T1's would be available (for
about the same cost as leasing the fractional T1). My peers and I are
concerned about hidden colocation costs and not having easy access to
the hardware.
Any opinions? What is the minimum bandwidth you woudl reccomend for a
web site? Thanks in advance!

Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 04:24:17 GMT
I have my machine almost ready to go, and I am almost ready to go out
and get a Linux book/CD combo. I thought about downloading it all, but
I wouldn't know what I was downloading, plus I wouldn't know what kind
of book would cover what I was downloading.
In any case, I hope to learn how to use Linux, and how to get a small
LAN working with Linux being the OS on the solo server.
The server will have......
486 dx2 66
Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller
Quantum 1.2 gb SCSI HDD
Panasonic 4x CD-ROM
Allied Telesis 1700 series NIC or 3com 509 series NIC
....and at least 12mb RAM so far.
In any case, I hope to learn enough before the end of summer so I
can.....
Make the above mentioned machine into our web-access machine: so that
all the machines on our LAN (3 machines on the LAN besides the future
server) can share a 56k modem internet connection.
Hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, I hope to get a DSL line
installed, and turn the box into a DNS server/web-server combo for a
few websites I plan on creating. Depending on how well things go, I
might even host other people's sites.
I have done my best to read through past posts through Dejanews, but I
wasn't exactly sure what everyone was saying.
>From what I got through some of the previous posts, Redhat 5.2 seems
good for newbies, but lacks some features that other distributions
have......is this necessarily true? I guess all I will get is opinion,
so whatever you say is good info for me.
After a few posts, it seemed that SuSE was one of the better
distributions, because it has the redhat distribution, plus a ton of
extra stuff...............?
I am great with MS-DOS and know it like the back of my hand. I
programmed BAT files in DOS for a long time before Win95 came
out......I can do C++, but the advanced stuff is way out of my
reach..... Do I necessarily need to know how to modify complex C++
statements or anything in the Linux kernel to use it effectively ?
A lot of questions....but........I hope to get a book/software by the
end of the week. Please, if you have any advice/info, e-mail me!
