This is a strange set of commands since you never terminate the quotes
starting just befor chat. I suspect what your pppd is getting is the
default stuff (which is 9600 Bd).

Try
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttySx 115200 defaultroute -detach crtscts connect
"chat -f -f /etc/ppp/chatscript"
(ttySx should be whichever port you are connected to_)

Yes, I believe so (setup), but that's actually the theme of my question
(s). Yes, linux detects card at startup.
 
ifconfig -a returns the following:

After issuing command: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

The second ifconfig -a returns:

While installing "packages" I selected several that sounded like working 
applications, but have no idea where they are stored, or how to invoke any 
of them.

X-Windows gives me a pitiful little clock, and 3 "windows", each of which 
seems to be just a "brighter" version of the command line console. If  
this is what it is supposed to do, I would just as soon uninstall it and 
free up the wasted space.

I assume you are asking about hardware.
Stripped down to the simplest possible configuration, just to get a 
connection established:
(1) Win 95 "workstation" with 16bit Ethernet card, 10 base T cat 5 
cabling, 8 port hub, (1) seemingly impotent "linux box",with 3c503 card 

Regarding software configuration of Samba, have used so many different 
smb.conf files I wouldn't know where to begin. Have currently reverted to 
example smb.conf from "Tridge" site that reportedly is used with 
Win95 "workstations" I added users to mimick the setup described in the 
smb.conf file...users does not seem to be a problem though...can't even 
get that far. I can't even see the linux box from the Win95 system

- what "ifconfig" and "route -n" are telling you,
> - what "dmesg" has to say about your NIC ?

route -n seems to give column headers without any info:
Destination    Gateway    Genmask    Flags  Metric Ref    Use IFace

dmesg returns normal info about drive(s), ports, etc. Network specific 
info follows:

3c503.c: Presently autoprobing (not recommended0 for a single card
3c503.c: v1.10 9/23/93 Donald Becker...

 Took me an hour to find out what "trolling" meant. The answer is, no.
Hope the information provided is "useful"

Actually, I would probably recommend to the "average" home user to just use
a Windoze 95/98 peer-to-peer setup.  Realistically, they're not going to
understand security issues, much less NT or a *nix of any kind.  Hell, most
Windoze users that are clients of mine still think the're running
Windoze[insert current year here] and think the Internet is owned by AOL.

Now, the guy who originally posted this message seemed quite literate and
would probably be able to handle NT or Linux.  His original post
specifically asked that a flame war like this one not be started.  He stated
that NT was not right for his immediate need; his question was how well
LINUX handled his laundry list of requirements.  In fact, to paraphrase the
last bit of that message:

=======snip=================================================================
========================
"What are your experiences when taking this approach? Does one have to
sacrifice many windas niceties in order to take advantage of Linux? &
please, no barking about how well Linux handles these services - I
know - I just want to know how well it compares to NT on the
usability/feature-wise scale."
=======snip=================================================================
========================

I haven't really heard anyone answer any of this gentleman's questions yet.
I don't have a really great answer so I'll defer on this.  I just wanted to
point out that we seem to have lost the point and we're all (Linux groups
and NT groups) looking like over-zealous freaks who can't even answer
relatively straight forward questions.

My only comment would be that Linux will handle everything that NT will
handle.  If you are using Outlook 98 on a Windoze 98 client, you can use
sendmail or some equivelent on the Linux server in place of Exchange.  If
you really want to know how well everything integrates, think about the
Internet.  At least 70% of all client machines that connect somehow to the
Internet are connecting and using services backboned by some Unix variant.

The only thing Linux requires is that you actually know something about all
of the hardware on your system.  Not just, "I've got an STB video-card".
You have to know specifics.  That may be a stretch for your average
PC-Magazine PHD.

I'll just stop now before I continue into a tirade about NT administrators,
who I try to deal with peacefully,  on a day-to-day basis.

I have upgraded from Redhat 5.1 to 5.2.  When I boot I get error messages
that it cannot find modules net-pf-4 and 5 which are appletalk and ipx. I
have compiled my kernel to NOT include,  these yet I still get the error.

My /etc/conf.modules file is bare except for the nic's aliases.  The
/lib/modules/* path does not contain the offending calls....  When I do
modprobe -c I get the aliases that indicated the call to net-pf-4 and 5...
Where is this being stored for call???

Please help,

        It is better that those that have the itch to scratch
        or the interest in that area do the programming. Linux
        works as well as it does because of the user programmer,
        not the 'knight in shining armour' doing grunt coding for
        someone else.

        In which case, they are going to be wide open the moment the
        put that bugger on the net. Subsequently securing it will be
        no less difficult than dealing with ip-chains or samba.

but if you can't do win98, wtf are you doing with nt server?  windows
nt is kind of like windows 98.  they are different enought that once
you get under the skin lot of stuff is different so that a competent
win98 user may get lost.  they are alike enough that someone who can't
do win98 won't be able do windows nt.

so they can't configure win98 properly.  i readily admit, *i* can't
configure win98 (more truthfully, i can't abide by it but i digress).
i, however, *can* do linux!

perhaps that is because they cannot/will not change their minds no

I'm stumped.  The IP masquerade *seemed* to be running well,
but transfers just died in the middle.  Finally tracked it
down to a port 113 (ident) transaction which (duh!) the
firewall machine couldn't give a user ID for the stream.

This may be a _DUH!_ case but couldn't find it in the usual
places.  The _Linux_Network_Toolkit_ is totally silent on
the subject.  Anyone have a clue how to fake up a fix?

(BTW, news reading is unreliable till I get this fixed.

Hi William.  The last thing I want to do is confuse others.  As a matter of
fact, I want to help others.

Maybe I was off on some theory about how NICs are compiled into the kernel, so
for clarification:
- At what point exactly is the NIC compiled into the kernel?  There are three
main steps described above--I edit the lilo.conf, then the conf.modules, then
reboot the system.  Does this in essence, "compile the driver into the
kernel???"
- If not, when is it compiled into the kernel?
- When you say the NIC, are you referring specifically to each card's
respective driver?

--Daniel

P.S.  I made no bold assertions as to WHY and HOW things worked, I simply
explained step by step what worked for me in hopes of assisting someone else
stuck with the same problem.  I recently switched from MS Windows to Linux and
am still trying to learn HOW things work.  My apologies to all those who I may
have lead astray.

did you do a "make dep" "make zImage" "make modules" "make modules_install"
~$ cd /etc
~$ vi lilo.conf
add the entry for your new kernel. rename the old one to linux-old or
something so you can still boot it if required.
~$ lilo
~$ shutdown -r now

You must make modules and make modules install. then restart lilo. Then
again I spose you would have restarted lilo and so on, coz otherwise you
wouldnt be getting the new errors.

I recommend updating your kernel to 2.2.1 + (2.2.4 pref) Also remove "Kernal
auto loader" or whatever it is in the config of your kernel.

Cheer's James.
