I had the same problem, try removing the io and irq
parameters from your /etc/conf.modules for your nic.
This is mine:
alias eth0 3c515
alias sound sb
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=0 dma16=3 mpu_io=0x300
alias eth1 3c59x
Some modules don't like the extra paramters.

Why should he ? This is (as can be easily verified by a quick

at least 2 years now, with either the standard ISA NE2000 od the newer

No. On a properly configured system, cua* devices shouldn't even exist
anymore.
Better check that no other device is using the same IRQ, and that the modem
gets properly initialized (IIRC, USR uses AT&F1 instead of the usual AT&F
command) .
You don't have a getty running on that port, do you ?

My PDC runs DHCP & WINS; my BDC runs my mail server (post.office by

sendmail & Post.Office for email. My BDC **was** serving as my

No argument there, but if your premise fails then your conclusion
isn't very helpful. The fact remains that in many cases two ttyS[n]
ports can deadlock if the programmer was expecting to use cua[n]

Subject: LCP terminated by peer
Date: 26 Apr 1999 03:21:55 GMT
My PPP connection is done regularly, and hourly (or half-hourly) intervals.
Things were working fine for months, when I noticed that I was no
longer able to make reliable connections to pick up/send e-mail.
Mail was backlogged, etc. I checked the logs, and found that my
sessions were being terminated as below:
Apr 18 04:37:14 hostname pppd[4110]: LCP terminated by peer
Apr 18 04:37:15 hostname pppd[4110]: Modem hangup
Sometimes, I just get the modem hangup without the LCP.
I called the phone company, and they said my line was unbalanced. They
fixed this, and things improved, but that was 3 weeks ago, and the
info below is AFTER the fix:
I wrote a script, and the stats say that I started PPP 1809 times,
1893 started, 749 were successful, 480 terminated with
"LCP terminated by peer" and 243 terminated with "Hangup by modem" alone.
Most of the time I connect at 26400.
I still get disconnected in the middle of sessions.
What is generating the error?

Hello,
I have a regular PCMCIA modem.
I wonder if there are cell phones out there with phone jack slots so
that I may plug in a regular PCMCIA modem cord into the cell phone slot and
hence use the cellular network by connecting the computer to the PCMCIA
card to the phone.
This would save the expense of having to buy a brand new wireless PCMCIA
card.
If any one has seen cell phones like the ones I am looking for please
let me know.
BTW, what speeds can I expect and will downloading through a cellular
network be reliable?
Thanks,

Linux would be an excellent choice for the task. Just set up SAMBA on the
linux box to share the CD-ROM drives. If you have to interact with NT
Domains be sure to look for info on Samba v2 (www.samba.org) I don't have
any dedicated CD-ROM servers, but I have used SAMBA quite successfully to
share the CD drive on several of my machines. (The file-share services
with linux/samba perform quite a bit better than my NT boxes, I might add)
Hope this helps,

Supposing that ipchains is much like ipfwadm in its logging behavior, I'd
recommend that you put a rule at the end of your input that *explicitly*
denies anything that matches (ie, -s 0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l DENY).
It is true that this will duplicate the default, but it will give you a rule
to match,
which should trigger the logging.

There's a lot of $.02 submissions on this one, so I figured that I'd add
mine as well.
An interesting point made by Luca below; the length of the DHCP lease makes
a huge difrerence. Here's a good example:
I know an ISP that sells ADSL access. They have "personal" plans and
"business" plans. The diference between the two is the (supposed) "static
IP address". In reality, all of their plans are DHCP, but they all use 30
day leases... As long as your machine isn't off for 30 days (which
should never happen in a business/corperate situation) you've got nothing
to worry about!

Subject: apache/IP address
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 05:46:47 +0000
I have a normal dial-up connection through a local ISP. My IP address is
dynamic.
The question is, how do I find my IP address for the current session? I
think when I use traceroute #.#.#.# my IP address is the first on the
list, but I'm not sure???
The other question is, can I connect to my own computer? That is, can I
put in the IP address for my machine and see my pages.
I am using the Apache web server and when I put in the loopback address
everything works, but when I put in what I think is my IP address, I get
a message saying the address is not accepting connections or is busy.
Thanks...... Wyatt
