This is all messed up. After connect you have an unclosed double quote.
which will confuse things. Then you have your script expecting
myusername from the remote machine, which I suspect it will never send,
and sending mypassword when your username comes. Similarly, on the line
" 'ATZ'
you have another unclosed double quote. Now I suspect both should have
been a pair of sinle quote. '' not ". But even then your
usename/password line is wrong
'ogin:' myusername
'assword:' mypassword
would probably be a more useful pair

Subject: Re: need a hub to connect 2 machines w/ ethernet?
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 05:40:49 -0700
How about a REALLY non technical explaination...A twisted pair LAN cable is
composed of 6 (or 8..I forget) wires...some are designated for inbound
signals and some for outbound signals. Plugging a wire directly
into two machines without a hub or special cable connects the inbound wires
of one machine to the inbound wires of the other...the same is true of the
outbound wires. A hub, or special cable "cross connects" the wires so that
the outbound wires of one connect to the inbound wires of the other ...etc,
etc.
An analogy could be made to your stero system....you always connect the
stereo out port of one device to the stereo in port of another...
I would suggest using a hub rather that a cross connect cable as it will
allow the addition of other machines in the future....they are not very
expensive, and would be a piece of equipment you could get much use from
over the years.

I use tcsh as my lohin shell (csh would work, too, in this regard),
and use the REMOTEHOST environment variable to define the
DISPLAY variable, viz.:
if ($?REMOTEHOST) then
setenv DISPLAY $REMOTEHOST\:0.0
endif

This is no problem -- I do the same.
A better choice for your network address though, would be
192.168.0, instead of 192.0.0, as it is my understanding
that 192.168.0 is guaranteed not to exist on the internet,

Depending on your X-server and its host environment, you might need to
run xhost to allow a foreign client to use your display.
Hope this helps.

The stock answer for that oft-asked question is to put the IP addresses
of the machines that you're connecting *from* into /etc/hosts on the
Linux box. In your case though you might also want to look at the DNS
setup on that NT machine to make sure it's working properly for both
forward and reverse lookups for your network.

Retrieve messages with fetchmail:
"fetchmail - fetch mail from a POP, IMAP, or ETRN-capable
server".
Install a MTA, like sendmail:
http://www.sendmail.org
http://personal1.iddeo.es/ret005lc/diald-win-e.html#sendmail
news:comp.mail.sendmail
and procmail as local MDA.
You need also a POP3 server, which depends of your linux distribution.

Let me see if I get this right, You are telling me that I am wrong and then in the
very same response you confirm exactly what I said ???? Curious.......
But make no mistake about it, LILO will not pass parameters to the modules. Read
through the source code if you have any real doubts. And please don't confuse the
issue for those are are already confused enough on this issue.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply first.
I found my problem is much more about the pppd. Since I found that I can
type the pppd after quit from the minicom without resetting, however, I
cannot found the ppp0 by using the ifconfig command. That means ppp0 NEVER
exist in the Linux box from my past experience.
Any ideas about this?
Thanks in advance.

Assuming the two machines have that funky "nic-to-nic" cable,
you end up w/ a point-to-point deviant of EtherNet. With
fewer stations on the network, the usable amount of that 100Mbps
bandwidth goes up since there's less contention. If the cards
can handle, it, BTW, you can probably set them up for full
duplex- though your mileage may vary.
You *can* boost the *aggregate* bandwidth of the network but
you cannot boost the bandwidth of a particular task (session)
by doing this (although, with multiple web server processes you
can subdivide the bandwidth and get bigger numbers). If you're
doing simple FTP transfers, no, only one of the cards'll be
utilized.
