Subject: HP JetDirects (using DLC) on Linux???
Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 08:04:11 GMT
Sorry for the cross-post, but this is an question that has been asked by
many and never addressed in these newsgroups - and I've searched back 6
months.
There are thousands upon thousands of old Hewlett Packard JetDirect boxes
and cards out there that allow you to setup a stand-alone printer. While
many of the newer cards and external boxes allow TCP/IP communication, the
old JetDirects do not.
I have been using Windows NT's DLC protocol to connect to these boxes
without much difficulty. Apparently, the DLC protocol is not something that
Linux supports at this time. I have hundreds of these boxes out there and I
am at a total standstill in my efforts to move to Linux because of this
problem.
Does ANYONE know of a way to communicate with the old JetDirect boxes that
do not support TCP/IP? They support IPX/SPX and DLC (not LPD).
Thanks very much - and sorry again about that cross-post.
Emailed replies are fine, but I will also be checking here several times a
day in the hopes that there is light at the end of this very dark tunnel.

Hey there, just installed Redhat 5.1, no real troubles except for the
modem...
it's a 56K v.90 PCI modem, and it has no UART - so i'm not sure how to
get it to work... i've seen discouraging things here and there, but was
wondering if anyone knows of drivers being worked on or anything else
that might help me get it going...
it's a PCtel chipset, built by Newcom, ATI3 responds "PCtel 7.61MS" in
case anyone cares ;)
thanks for any help you might offer...

Anyone have a problem with this? I cannot compile ssh 1.x.x either on

This is probably more like a kernel 2.2.x issue. Is there a new version

Strange, I'm running ssh-1.2.26 on a glibc-2.1 / kernel 2.2.5 system.
I looked at my SSH source-tree and I cannot remember I did something
special in the source to make it work. The only thing what you could check
is the fact that I found in the file "config.h" the following line (right
at the top):
#define _GNU_SOURCE
This way all source code is compiled with this define on.
Check this, and include that define if it's not in. (right after you run
the configure).
Good luck,
-Remco

Say as the user "phil@vision25", then it will just get mail for that one
user.

The man(1) page gives all of the options and several examples. However,
it doesn't give the "user@site" syntax explicitly because that's Demon
specific (in fact it's ISP specific, some use different syntax).

Use '@' not '+' for Demon.

No, it seems to mean that it's one of the options it doesn't list.
Which, if true, is indeed a bug but when I tried changing the 'is xxx'
option it seemed to work.
Part of my .fetchmailrc is:
set postmaster "ccrough"
poll pop3.demon.co.uk with protocol POP3
localdomains keris.demon.co.uk:
user "chris@keris" with password "my-password" is ccrough
with mda "~/mda.sh chris %F"
user "postmaster@keris" with password "my-password" is ccrough
with mda "~/mda.sh chris %F"
user "ccrough@keris" with password "my-password" is ccrough
with mda "~/mda.sh chris %F"
user "keris@keris" with password "my-password" is ccrough
with mda "~/mda.sh keris %F"
(I actually use my own MDA, a shell script which puts the mail into
folders in my ~/Mail directory according to which mailbox they were sent
to @keris.dcu, but the default sendmail works happily if you want it all
into the one mailbox, or into real user accounts.)
>I am using Fetchmail 4.7.5-POP2 under SuSE 6.0 Linux, kernel 2.0.36.
I'm using v.4.6.4 under Debian 2.1 Linux, kernel 2.0.36, but I doubt
there's too much difference.

However, if you want to make the change known to others, you'll have to
ask your sysadmin to modify DNS as well.

Folks.
I am the lucky(?) owner of an IBM Thinkpad 600E notebook.
I've got to use WindoZe for work, but I'd much prefer to use Linux at
home.
I've gotten a reasonable complete installation done - it boots, X/Gnome
works {well, mostly!}, the modem won't {it's a DSP, not a real modem}, I'm
mainly happy with it.
BUT.
I can't get the Xircom RealPort PCMCIA NIC working. This card is the one
with the full sized RJ45 port in it - it's a type 2 card, but occupiesthe
space of a type three card. Which is OK, if it'd work.
The system _appears_ to recognise it - although, it reports the wrong IO
port when displayed via IFCONFIG, but I get an error on startup which goes
something like
starting pcmcia mc: error: no upper memory available
And whatever I do I can NOT get the card to work. No network connectivity.
As far as ifconfig is concerned, eth0 is there and active - but nothing
goes out the interface, and nothing comes into it.
Has anyone been successful getting such a beastie working?
Email copies of replies, please, as I don't get the opportunity to check
news more than once a week, and with the volume in this newsgroup, any
replies will be gone from my ISP before I get back to check.
Thanks.

I found "man fetchmail" quite sufficient, at least to get this far.

This applies to 4.6.4 and below; I haven't upgraded recently.
