...somewhere on the software level... it is not that you could
live without special software (which is ISAPNP tools).
And running ISAPNP tools is what you do _before_ you can specify
modem's address and irq to the kernel, using setserial.

Let me make this more precise... There are two _different_ things:
the first thing (formerly known as a winmodem) is a controllerless
modem, aka HCF (host-controlled family) modem.
The other thing (which is much less of a modem) is a softmodem,
aka HSP (Host Signal Processing) modem.
The link to read is
http://www.aopenusa.com/tech/faq/modem/general.htm#Controllerless Modem
This is common to call both families `winmodems', but manufactures
and dealers do not usually use this term.

I do not know anything about DSP modems, but this is
what other people write (in particular, there is no controller):
====================================================================
>From http://www.analog.com/industry/ras/tech_info/faq.html#4
Q. What software is provided with the ADSP-21mod870?
A. The ADSP-21mod870 is bundled with K56flex/V.34 software. This software
implements both the data pump and controller functions. Included is a
software interface which describes how the systems host processor talks
to the modem. There is also an example of some host code written in C.
That is, there is no hardware-based controller...
====================================================================
>From http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.5
MWave and DSP Modems
Such modems use DSP's (Digital Signal Processors) which are programmed
by algorithms which must be
downloaded from the hard disk to the DSP's memory just before using the
modem. Unfortunately, the
downloading is done by Dos/Windows programs so one can't do it from Linux.
Ordinary modems that work
with Linux often have a DSP too (and may mention this on the packaging),
but the program that runs
it is stored inside the modem. This is not "DSP modem" in the sense of this
section and should work
OK under Linux.
If a DSP modem modem simulates a serial port, then it is usable with Linux
which communicates with
modems via the serial port. If you also have Dos/Windows on the same PC
you may be able to use the
modem: First start Dos/Windows (make sure the modem gets initialized) and
then without turning off
the computer, go into Linux. One way to do this is to press CTRL-ALT-DEL.
An example of a DSP modem
is IBM's Aptiva MWAVE.
Best,
a.

It sounds to me like you have IRQ problems or that you are running your modem
at the default speed of 9600 bd. If you have no, or an unsupported speed in
your configuration, it will not tell y ou, it will simply use 9600 BD.

Hi,
Not that it necessarily means there is a problem with the hardware, (it may
have just been my own ineptitude as I find is usually the case when people
bitch about hardware) but I've had trouble getting 3c905B's to work under
Linux.
(It may also be that like the 3c509B it just doesn't work right under
Linux/again it may just be my imagination.)
I think as far as 10 Mbps cards are concerned the 3c509 (not 3c509B) takes
the cake and for 10/100 I've never had a problem with the 3c905 (again not
3c905B) and for 10 Mbps PCMCIA I'll take a 3c589D any day. Anyone know a
good 10/100 PCMCIA card for Linux????

Subject: root login denied over telnet in RH6.0
Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 17:26:32 GMT
Hello.
I recently installed RH6.0, but when I tried to login
as root via a telnet session I got refused access.
Same old story I thought...
I edited /etc/securetty and added a few ttyp
lines.
Tried login in again, but no cigar.
I saw a posting that said that as of RH60.0 remote
root logins can be enabled by commenting out an
auth line from /etc/pam.d/login, and it works, but
I find this too drastic, as the posting also
mentioned this action would unsecure all
terminals.
Now, I don't know exactly what that means but when
I see the words "unsecure" and "all" next to each
other I get a bit twitchy.
Why has RedHat chosen to make it so difficult for
root to login remotely?
I've seen postings recommending people should
initially login as an ordinary user and then su to
root but how does that make things any safer???
Anyone with a packet sniffer that was planning on
stealing your root password, can achieve the same
by capturing the ordinary user's password when you
login, as well as the password that you gave when
you su'd to root.
ssh is the only secure answer although to be honest I would be skeptical
about using even that over a public network like the internet.
I looked in the directory /etc/security which has
several interesting files in it.
In particular, there is a file in there whose name
I now forget, where you are given the option to
specify who is allowed to login locally and remotely. I added a line
like:
+:root:ALL
but that didn't seem to work either.
Anyway, does anyone have any alternative
suggestions as to how to enable root to login?
(Tips or pointers to docs appreciated)
Thanks for any responses

efficient way to network all these machines. They
all need to flow through the 56K. I have three

a p200 64MB RAM that is win95, and a PII 350MHz
128MB RAM that is running NT. I have been told
about webramps but don't know much about them.
Will they solve my problem? What is the cost

were pricey! Is there a place to purcahse a used
web ramp? I am looking into putting the 56k into
my linux server and running IP Masqurade. Does
anyone have any experience with this? How would
I go about doing this? Are there any sites or

masquerading? I have never worked with IP Mas

It builds a new MS-Dos "M"aster "B"oot "R"ecord. This is the nifty
little program that usually reside at sector zero of a bootable partition
and it goes out and looks for "Dos" or "Windows95" or "Ntldr" or "LILO"
or whatever and loads it into memory and passes control of the program
register to the entry point of the program that it loads.
FDisk as a version of Dos it will look for a dos file "msdos.sys?" and
knows nothing about file systems other than "DOS".

When you su try the following:

In MVS we have a "DD" statement, in DOS we have "DLBL", and in MPE we have
"FILE:=" these are able to override the programs open statement ie: if a
program is written to create a file and then write to it sequentially, you
can usually override it and tell it to use a different file name and append
to it. How is this done with Linux and NFS ie: the program writes to a file
and not stdout or stderr ? Is this done in the shell with &2>>&1? How do I
know which number a "filename" has?

It should be included within the kernel. If it is not installed in
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net you have to compile your own kernel. In
earlier versions(*) there was no special module for the PCI cards but
they where supported by the driver for ISA cards.

(*) I am not sure with which version the seperated ne2k-pci driver was
introduced but in was somewhere in the range of 2.0.32-2.0.36
