Hi all,
I still can't get my e-mail. This morning, I ran fetchmail -v as
normal, and saw five messages arriving as normal. I then went into
Emacs, and activated RMAIL. No new messages. I telnetted to port 110
of my ISP's mailserver, and saw that the messages were gone.
The question is: where have these messages gone? Why have they not
been delivered to my mailbox? Can I get them back?
OK, so that's three questions, but you get the idea ...
I'd appreciate your help, as I feel lost without my e-mail ...
Thanks.

You have todecide where you want your default route to be. If your
office network is an isolated network not connected to the internet,
then youmight just want a route to it. Lets say that all the office
network machines are on the 123.231.213.x subnet.
And the machine you dial into is 123.231.213.9
Then put the line
route add -net 123.231.213.0 gw 123.231.214.9 ppp0
into /etc/ppp/ip.up.local
to add the explicit route to your office subnet.
Otherwise you could put in
route del default
route add default gw 123.231.213.9 ppp0
into ip-up.local
and
route del default
route add default gw <your gateway IP> eth0
to ip-down

easy, don't use it or use it under vmware if you must. I have absolutely
no problem with this NIC on a pure linux box (except that their config

Hey Jeff K. or anyone else,
I just bought some Linksys NIC's. In my ignorance, I did not realize
that had multiple chip sets. I have the proprietary (newer) Linksys chips.
So I have to compile my own tulip.o module. I followed the instructions on
the driver disk (with that tulip.c). I also attempted to download and
compile the newest version on the net.
Both files compiled, and I added them to the /lib/modules... dir.
Unfortunately, when I attempt to update the dependency (/sbin/depmod -a) I
get an "unresolved symbols(s)" error.
I am a newbie and have pretty fairly exhausted multiple books and
several online resources. Could someone enlighten me as to the nature of
the problem. Should I be looking for a different driver file, a compilation
error, or am I not uderstanding dependency correctly? Any help will be
greatly appreciated.

would not dial. I know I have the correct serial port. I also hooked
the modem up to my Windows NT and Windows 3.x machine and it worked on
both of those. In Linux, I tried creating and running the ppp-on

e2fsck on my distribution runs automagically at boot time when the mount
counter reaches a certain level.
I have provided my rc.sysint script that does the check automatically.
Perhaps yours has been modified to just give you a warning.
> can't locate module netmask
Check your ls -l /lost+found
Usually power failures cause things like lighting ballast's to burn up
not computers. And why do lighting ballasts burn up? reason being that
no one turned the lights off. They just sit and wait for em to all come
back on. And when they do... guess what? It overloads the circut. And if
the circut breaker fails to trip on an overload (who tests them anyway)
then all of the little lights and computers trying to come on at the
same time pull so much current that the voltage drops and the lighting
ballasts fry. Smoke appears and someone has to call 911. This brings the
fire department who wants NOW to inspect the facility and check the air
conditioning ducts because the smoke was not properly ventilated. Of
course no one checks the circut breaker or the load on the circut
breaker or the size of wire on the circut breaker or anything else to do
with electricity. But it's okay becaues next week the main supply
transformer is going to explode and then they will all figure it out.
Linus Torvalds:"Yes it really happened"
Anyway back to netmask. Since I'm not a netmask guru and the darn things
are all over the place everywhere you look. Try the ldconfig thing and
see if all the libraries are still linking and loading. Then try
ifconfig and look for reasonableness in netmask.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 should also look like
NETMASK=your.network.mask.0 . I have no idea where the netmask module
is exactly or where the message is generated. But start with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network and see what it does and what programs it
calls. Start at boot-up INIT 1 single user mode and call each of the
scripts one by one until you get the message again.
And then check your circut breaker.
I don't suppose you have a backup where you could do a tar --compare ?

When Linux "sees" your NIC, the eth0 will appear. You don't have to
"install" or make eth0 appear. It's done when the NIC is setup.

Sometimes when they run out of lines they will use a mux to essentially turn
1 line into 2. Needless to say, this isn't so good for modem
communications.

That's really odd, dmesg is usually pretty good job of grabing this stuff.
Could you just scroll up the screen (using <Shift PgUp>) right after you
boot and have a look?

It probably is poor lines but I guess you could check out the interior
wiring. Two things to try.
1. Try running a phone cable right from the telco box outside your house.
If the connect speed is about the same then the interior wiring is probably
ok.
2. Since you have 2 lines, borrow a second modem (preferably an external)
and try calling yourself. If you still can't do at least 31.2 then you
probably have a mux on one or both lines and you're SOL.
One last thing is to check and see if there is a firmware upgrade available
for your modem.
