I have struggled to make the 3c509B working on my HP Kayak XU system
without improvement: I made the card being recognized by the kernel,
disabled PnP, configured the eth0 interface and the routing tables
--- but the communication did not work.
In frustration I have exchanged the 3c509B card for other brand ISA
card, and everything worked without single problem.
So, if somebody has problems with the 3c509B card my advice is: dump
it. The NIC cards are very cheap nowadays and the time is money.

Sorry, that is contrary to fact. (That sounds much nicer than "Why are you
lying to these people?" doesn't it....)
as86 is a (very small) assembler that is still required for historical
reasons to finish off the kernel make process. (The job it does apparently
isn't worth the effort it would take to eliminate the need for the
assembler; I don't *think* it's mere laziness on anyone's part....) It's in
one of the utility packages; I had to scrounge up a copy about three years
ago for a system where I wasn't working from a CD, and as I recall it was a
pain in the tush to locate a standalone copy.
Some kind soul will give you an exact pointer to the package that contains
it, I'm sure.

A friend of mine wants help setting up an internal cable modem made by
3com.
The real problem is that the only isp in his area only offers
downloads through the cable modem. You still need a modem for upload.
Dont make much sense to me but what do I know?
Any one seen anything like this? And what are the chances of doing
this in Linux? It will run on a Red Hat 6 box with another ethernet

The speed of a 56k modem does not compare to the speed of a cable modem.
As an example, it takes me about 1-2 minutes to download a new copy of the
kernel with the cable modem, a task which would easily take hours on a
traditional 56k phone line modem.
Also, since I have a network setup with IP masquerading, my roommate is
also using the Internet at the same time I am, and doesn't even notice
when I start major downloads.

Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 03:55:59 GMT
I had the same sort of problem. A RedHat 5.2 server could export
a filesystem for our Solaris 2.6 server no problem. After the
upgrade to Redhat 6.0, I would get "unknown errors" and "server
not responding". The difference, Redhat 6.0 uses the kernel nfs
(knfsd) where 5.2 does not. I got around the problem by forcing
nfs version 2 in the mount command on the Solaris side.
ie mount -o vers=2 redhat:/usr/share /mnt/share
worked like a charm. Perhaps this is the same cause as you are
seeing?

Well Tim you have a few choices, you could put the settings in the
/etc/lilo.conf file with an append statement, or like most people place
a lines in the /etc/conf.modules. Since you are using an NE2000 card
you will need two entries.
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x240 irq=0x0a
And at boot time your ethernet card will work.
Note: Your system has to be setup and enabled to load kernel modules.
This sounds like it won't be a problem in your case.

My honest advice related to the 3c509B cards is: when it works for you
then great (some people have BIOS/HW/SW/whatever which makes it running).
But if you have some problems with it, then replace it with other brand
card asap: your lost time will mor expensive than a new card.
I struggled with my 3c509B too long ... Then I made the other card
working in 5 minutes.

Yep I resemble your problem, maybe when you load the module called

I didn't have a problem building and installing it (use the latest,
though, from ftp://ftp.u.washington.edu/public/asun). But, even with
adding shadow-password support (via a -DSHADOWPW in the
etc/afpd/Makefile), authentication wasn't working right. I think it is
because Redhat 6 uses 'long/deep' shadow passwords (longer encryption).
My 'fix' was to enable rand2num passwords by making my afpd.conf look
like this (just one line):
- -rand2num
I also had to edit auth.c to prevent the extra permission checking of
the ~/.passwd files (which now contain the regular ascii passwords).
For some reason, it always thought my ~/.passwd files were not owned
correctly or had 'insecure' permissions.
Oh, and instead of using the DES library, I used the openssl package
(because it was already installed on the machine for other reasons). I
think the usual DES lib would work, too.
But, after these things, it works... with actual excrypted
authentication (over the network, anyway)!

Reply-To: "Matt Goebel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi, I'm trying in vain to get my Linux box connected to the outside world
via my Mediaone Road Runner cable modem. The cable modem uses DHCP but no
login software (some rr services use this.) I understand the 6.0 uses pump
and not dhcpcd, I'm also aware of the updated version of pump (I don't think
Mediaone uses NT though.) I also called Mediaone and asked about hooking up
a different NIC card and was told as long as the protocals are setup and
configured correct it shouldn't be a probelm. I had thought my cable modem
was configured to work only with one MAC. Also, when I did a search for
dhcp* and DHCP* on my drive I came up with only help files. Should I have
these on my hd somewhere or do I not need them with pump?? From reading
other posts it seems like if I set it up so I am using dhcpcd and not pump
everything will work. I am only a beginner to all of this and have no idea
whatsoever how to do this. If anyone out there has got a cable modem
working with Redhat 6.0 please tell me how to do it. If I do have to use
dhcpcd please give me a detailed and easy to follow plan on how to do this.

After reading http://oh3tr.ele.tut.fi/~oh3fg/ppp/ppp.html and

why I don't have ppp running. While I'm sure the competence level of

While reading a similar site awhile back (to fix problems with X), I was

perform a variety of complex operations. All that was needed was an
adjustment to one dotclock number, which I mercifully stumbled on one

Problem I can get the vnc server running on NT and
Linux but there seems to be another problem.
Question is vnc video card independent ?
Both boxes have diff video cards one Martox G200
and NT 3D savage. Can I use vnc on NT and view
Linux x windows which box has a Martox card
or do I have to load the 3d Savage drives on
the Linux box.
Many thanks
Matt

Sure: 192.168.0.1 is usually used for the gateway/proxy server PC.
192.168.0.255 is the the so-called broadcast address. I don't know it's
exact purpose. Also, address 192.168.0.0 is often reserved.

Is there any commercial products for computer telephony development on
*BSD and/or Linux exists today? It should be a PCI/ISA card come with
driver, development library with some quite standard features like
interactive voice response, voice messaging, text to speech, fax,
notification systems, etc.
Any hints/pointer of info would be much appreciated! Please email to me
directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .
Thank you!

Maybe you also need to have the environment variable SOCKS_NS set to
the IP address of the DNS server
