You could get AT prompt with at least Nokia 8810, 7110; Ericsson SH 888.
You _could_not_ get AT prompt with Nokia 61XX, 51XX because these phones
require sofware modem emulation.

You could manage phone book with AT commands.

Are you sure about that? I read the contract pretty closely, and it says they
don't care what servers you run, but you agree to not hold them resonsible for
the content you offer or expect any support from them about it. My contract
doesn't say anything about restricting the content that I offer on my web server.

I've had good luck with the setup, never had any down time (that was Cox's
fault).

Please take a close look at the ssh license before you start to use it.
Ssh2, in particular, has a license so restrictive that to call it a
"free" license is laughable.

Ssh1 is better, but still problematic for some situations.

And of course, RSA is under patent in the U.S.A. until next fall, so
there are restrictions on what you can do with it.

Encryption and authentication over the 'Net are *good*.  Violating the
license of the software is *illegal*.  Illegal is *bad*.

my two cents to this:

when mediaone one came and installed the modem through windows, it worked
and blah blah.. so as they were leaving, i rebooted (running redhat 5.2
with 2.2.6) and set up eth0 for dhcp (as per the dhcp/cable modem
mini-howto's).. unfortunately, the tech for mediaone forgot to mention
about my user account, my mail password, etc, so i called up mediaone and
asked them about that info, *while on linux*
he gave me the information, and (knowing that mediaone chicago, or any
mediaone as far as i knew, didnt support linux) i asked him
"do you know if i can run the cable modem while on linux?"
mediaone- "um.. linux? is that the new operating system going around?"
me- "something like that"
(remember, i'm on linux while talking to him)
mediaone- "i dont know anything about that, i dont think you can. we only
support windows right now"
me - "ok, i was just wondering"

i dont know if it's just them trying to cover their asses or what, but i
had a good laugh anyways

Subject: ipfwadm, DNS, and masq - policy ?
Date: 14 May 1999 03:23:17 GMT

I have DNS and masquerading running on the gateway for my network, 
which consists of fourteen NT machines, one os/2 machine and the 
gateway Linux box (SuSE 6.0, kernel 2.0.36).  When ipfwadm policies O 
and I are set to accept, everything works.  DNS requests are handled 
locally or forwarded to the ISP via diald.  However, if I set ipfwadm 
policies for F, I, and O all to deny as default I have yet to find a 
set of added rules that allow DNS requests to be forwarded.  That is, 
I haven't discovered a rule set that allows the DNS forwarding to 
bring up diald and go to the ISP's nameserver.  DNS still works 
locally but hangs when it can't get out to the big nameserver.  This 
behavior obtains whether the query is performed from the gateway's 
console or a remote machine.

What is the minimum cut-set of rules added to 'deny' policies that 
will allow DNS forwarding to bring up diald and get out to answer the 
request?

Go to the following -

http://www.linuxrouter.org/modmaker/

There is not a lot of documentation, but as a minimum you should have -

(thanks to John Heenan for the following)
You need to ensure the following kernel modules are loaded (actualy the
last is not needed) with LRP.

serial
slhc
ppp
bsd_comp

If you are using modems then a pppd command is configured to use the chat
command to dial out.

If you are acepting dialins through a modem then you need a program that
will answer the call and spawn a pseudo terminal. For modem lines you can
use mgetty or portslave (portslave does not have to use a radius server).
Portslave is an LRP package.

If you do not use modems then you need to start up raw telnet session
(secure shell might work in a suitable mode) through the serial link
between the two routers.  Following this you can run pppd at both ends.

Subject: HELP PLEASE!! Info, links and tips wanted to setup a mail server behind router
Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 06:05:42 GMT

I have a router that does IP Masquarading (NAT). I have a static IP
connection to Internet. My ISP gives me the capability to store all 
incoming emails and forward them on demand via ETRN. The ISP
implements POP3 for normal email download.

So I want to setup a Linux or FreeBSD Server, that primarily will
handle all emails as the central email server. All intranet emails
will be handled immediately. All outbound emails will be stored and
forwarded
on a schedule (every 3 hours). During that connection (every 3 hours),
all incoming emails should be got from ISP to our mail server. 

The problem is that I am not knowledgable enough to do this without
some hints. I have searched tutorials and how-tos, and I found a large
number of programs that can do the job (or so it seems), like
fetchmail to get the emails, and sendmail or qmail to send the emails.
But in our situation the mail server is in the intranet and uses IP
address in the form 192.68.xxx.xxx and the only valid IP is the static
IP of the router. From the info I red (and red quite a lot), I havenot
found a way to surpass this problem (or so it seems).

So if anyone has made a similar setup, please give me some details, at
least some hints and the links to read to make this possible. Also if
anyone has made a DNS proxy (that caches DNS requests) the info supply
would be helpful.


Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the trouble to reply.

The SupraSonic II does not implement multilink in
hardware.  It's just two modems on one card.  The
multilink protocol is implemented in software.

Also, MPPP does not require two IP addresses.
However, some multilinking schemes (like the one
used by the software included with Boca's Duo) do.

As for DSL and cable, they are good choices if you
are fortunate enough to live in an area where they
are available.  And here in New Jersey, ISDN is
just too expensive.

Well. goto network config, dbl-click on ppp0, and wade thru the options
to the interface speed, which is set at 115,200.  Very often, a download
will start out at 5000 cps or better, but will quickly degrade to the
sub 1000 cps area, and this is at 2 am local time!

Go figure.  Me, I'm screaming for some bandwidth.  I'll be damned if
I'll pay an extra 50 bucks a month for a second line if it can't move
any faster than that.

Subject: Problems detecting EtherExpress 16
Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 00:40:52 -0400

Hi
I'm trying to install RedHat5.2 on a Pentium class system.  I am having
problems with the driver for my Intel EtherExpress 16 card.  When I run
the installation program it seems to detect the card, but when I boot
linux for the first time it gets hung up just at the point where it
should detect the card.

It seems to be trying to use the driver:   eexpress.o
for a card located at IRQ 3 and base address 300.

The IRQ and the address are OK so I think it is the driver.
When I boot the system without detecting the card it boots into linux
just fine.
Also, I am POSITIVE that I set up the network settings correctly.

Has anybody else had this problem with this particular card?  Or does
anybody know of a fix?

I'd rather not have to upgrade anything large, since my only other
internet connection is a modem!
Thanks,
Matt

1. Apache is reporting "HTTP/1.0" for the SERVER_PROTOCOL variable.  Is it
actually using HTTP/1.0 or does it fake it for the CGI scripts?  How do I change
it?

2. Apache is searching for SSIs on EVERY html file.  I only want it to search on
.shtml files or with the exec bit set.  (I have the "XBitHack on" directive
also.)  How do you fix this?

3. How can you get Apache to su to the user for everything it does?  Right now
suEXEC only works for CGIs.  This solves a couple of problems, but I really want
to lock down our web servers more by doing stuff like chmod'ing 700 on the
/home/foobar directory.  That way, nobody except the user and the web server
(which would su to the user) can see/write/goto the directory and
sub-directories.  Any way to fix this?  (I've seen it done before.)

4. Any good web usage programs?  We've been using analog and wusage, but I'd
like to if there are any better ones out there.  Do they provide a good global
log for bandwidth of all of the clients?

5. How do you allow web hosting clients to edit their own e-mail redirector
file?  I know OLM.net (and its many resellers) use a .redirect file that looks
like this:

default [EMAIL PROTECTED]
webmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sineswiper [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is that an existing system or something of their own?  If the latter, is there a
system that I could use?

6. Since nobody really answered it before: What's the difference between using

Subject: r-tools only work when I'm logged-on as root
Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 21:50:30 -0600

I'm running Slackware 3.5. In my mainframe (AIX) account, I have two
entries in my .rhosts file:

        mylinuxboxaddress       mylinuxusername
        mylinuxboxaddress       root


When I am logged-on to my linux box as root, I can rlogin (or rsh, or
rexec) to my AIX account no problem. When I am logged-on to linux as
mylinuxusername, I get:

        rlogin -l myAIXusername aixhostname
        rcmd: socket: Permission denied


But I can telnet just fine as mylinuxusername. Have I incorrectly
configured my inetd.conf file?

        shell  stream  tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rshd -L
        login  stream  tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rshd



Much thanks for any help.

I would like to know what network cards people have
had the least problems with so that one could have
the best chance of getting one installed and not have to
try to return it and try another?

In the firewall Howto and other howto's there is one a sample
with 2 different segments (192.168.1.x and the ISP ip number).
If you use 194.109.6.1 for the internet, and you have the same
segment (because of webserver that where there before the firewall)
inside your own network then you have the situation i described below.

I believe you must enable plain text passwords in the registry.  That 
fix that Tonina referred to probably does it.  The way to manually edit 
the registry is posted from time to time.  HTH.

I setup redhat 5.1 on my desktop and use my laptop to connect to it.
when I use telnet to connect, it shows host connected for very long
time before the login prompt appears.  but this doesnt happened when i
login locally on the desktop.  can someone suggest what may be the
problem?  thx in advance.
