Try Freenet at freenet.co.uk their dialup number for unix is 0845 3530000 and
their domainname is nfl.athenenet.co.uk
OR nso.whisper.net everything else you need is on their web page "getting
connected". You may need to phone them for an id unless u have windoze,

Squid cant do neither of that. Look into ipfwadm (for 2.0.x kernels) or
IPCHAINS (http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/IPCHAINS-HOWTO-1.html) for 2.2.x

Subject: Keeping PPP up
Date: 22 Apr 1999 19:16:53 GMT
I have seen a number of posts from people looking to make ppp reconnect
when dropped. I have seen a number of different ways to make that happen,
although, the one I use and which seems easiest to me is to add the line
persist to /etc/ppp/options . This has worked flawlessly for me and
seems to be the easiest solution available.
Are there problems with this method that I am not aware of? I havent seen
anyone else post this solution, and it made me wonder if maybe there is a
problem with it.
If not, I hope this helps others.

A external TA behaves like a modem and you take ppp & diald to get it
running.
A internal card is more like another network card. You'll need i4l
(isdn-for-linux), compiled as a module (www.suse.de)

If its for www (and propably this would be most of the traffic) you could
redirect all traffic over squid, and let a programm compare squids

It sounds like IP-Masquerading is what you want; unfortunately, I

Use the chmod command to set permissions, and the chgrp command to
set the group for particular files. Then you will have to create
the desired groups (in /etc/group) for your users, and make sure
that each file has the appropriate group and permission settings.

Well I had assumed that the ATD above was a typo but maybe not? Don't
know why you'd get many of these particular messages though. I took
the command line above and tried it here but while it didn't dial and
alarmed chat just wrote "Failed" and then pppd exited.
: pppd isn't opening or can't open the device properly?

Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 21:43:30 +0200
You are right here,
LAT is developed under copyrights and the GNU doesn't have the money to
buy the rights to develop LAT.
Than again LAT is also pretty much dead. (With all respect to LAT but it
isn't very stable in situations wit a whole lot of network traffic).
Dec decided to use the TGV -> TCP/IP implementation (Two Guys and their
VAX) since then TCP is the facto standard also in Dec networks. Perhaps
that user taht wrote the original message should use a TCP stack or SNA
--> Probably wont run on VMS.
Why does he use IPX to LAT router, why doesn't he install a LAT stack on
every workstation?
SNA on Linux is there and it is pretty stable and impressive. SNA for NT
is a pretty stale piece of software in comparisson with the SNA-Linux
implmentation
Do you know the email of the orginator? Then I would like to consult him
a bit/

I would advice you to forget the thing emailed by the guy before me.
Since ipportfw is pretty unstable!!! and in some cases pretty hard to
configure right.
I suggest you download the rinetd software. This is so very simple and
so very good and stable.
ALl you have to do is make a rinetd.conf file in the /etc dir with
something like this in it.
0.0.0.0 80 192.168.1.1 80
0.0.0.0 2333 192.168.1.1 23
This tells that a call to port 80 on one of the adapters will be
forwarded to 192.168.1.1 on its port 80
the other tells that a call on 2333 is being forwarded to 192.168.1.1 on
port 23.
You can also enter specifiv ip addressess for the source. But since I
have dynamic ip addresses to my ISP this is a great solution

Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 22:08:05 +0200
Everybody is full about the SOCKS5 proxy implementations but I think
they suck. Since you need adjusted client software to connect to
resources. Thats why I would never ever run a proxy server!
Why don;t you use a masquerading firewall or a NAT implemntation.
Linux does a great Masquerading it is save and transparant unlike SOCKS.
There are C Libs for SOCKS and the functions are pretty simular of the
standard socket libs so you could recompile your applications (since
with Linux we have all the source code) and link all the socket calls to
the SOCKS lib. This means that you onlyh need to change your make file
in most cases.
But I suggest you set a Linux box or a Router with NAT support on the
place of you NT server and set the default gateway address of all your
clients to that device and they have transparant access. (In some cases
you have a problem with software with several oirts in use
simultaniously). But that goes for SOCKS asswell.

You struck one of the biggest weak points of the Linux community here.
There is no Groupware software on Linux (YET).
IBM is porting their LotusNotes wich is the best groupware software
their is in the whole world. Though you need to pay for it. It will be
released for the end of this year.
I scanned the net for any project groups that are working on a GPL
Groupware but there aren't any. (STrange enough) since their is a hughe
demand for what you want.
But perhaps some greatly designed Intranet applications will fix that
problem.
Linux, MySQL database server, Java, JavaScript and Perl will create some
nice workgroup applications ;-)

There is no ICMP Error Message for failed checksum. Therefore, I would
take it that this message indicates that the checksum from an ICMP
message was incorrect. Such events could result from somebody trying to
hack up an ICMP message by hand. One way to stop this would be to block
ICMP messages in your firewall.

Subject: Autofs flakey with NFS??
Date: 22 Apr 1999 18:50:31 GMT
Autofs is giving me fits. It works fine for automounting floppies on all
our RH5.2 boxes, except for the ones that need it the most -- the public
machines which are more-or-less diskless workstations which have the /usr and
/opt directories mounted by NFS. We've noticed other problems with mounting
/usr by NFS, like symbolic links are broken in the X11 stuff, and had to be
hand done, but I can't figure out what to do for autofs. Autofs runs okay,
not giving any errors, and the auto.master and auto.misc are exactly the same
as on the other machines, but the floppy doesn't get mounted. When I put a
floppy in the drive, something happens, as the HD light goes on for a second
(not the fd light, mind you) but no mount. Floppy doesn't appear in /misc
either. I just got the latest autofs, that made no difference.

That must have been a really creative piece of writing.
I don't have comparisons done but I do have Sun E450 1 gig ram standing
right beside Netfinity NT servers with 4 gig ram.
The Suns knock spots off the Nfs in every aspect I can think of.

Huseni, you have probably gotten your card to work now, but if not, I
wanted to let you know that Linksys themselves have the necessary driver at
their website!
