You must mean ISA slots, possibly VLB? You shouldn't have any trouble
setting up a ISA NIC, you just need to figure what driver to pick. Linux
generally supports most cards but they all use a generic driver. There
shouldn't be any need to recompile the kernel. At most you would have to
compile a driver module. I sure you won't have to do either though. I'd
suggest finding out who made the card and checking out the company website
for any info on Linux, at very least get the name of the card. If it isn't
printed on the card check what is printed on the chipset (generally the
largest chip on the card) and search for that. There are a lot of NE2000
clones around so you could try using the NE2000 ISA driver too. Most likely
that will work. As far as learning Linux, the best way, I've found, is
trial and error and newsgroups. Make sure you have a PC with internet
access so you can look up answers when you need them. Linux is not any easy
OS to learn but it's very easy to use after you do. It's a lot like a
foreign language, you just have to drive in. I have a very strong computer
background in both hardware and software and I'm a beginner again when it
comes to Linux. It's taken me a week to setup my Linux box to do what I
could setup a NT/9x box to do in under an hour, and I'm still not done.
I've talked to people who took months to get everything working. Hang in
there and take it one problem at a time.

In my experience, ISDN always uses pap authentication, in which case
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets must contain your login info, one item per line, e.g., if
your login is 'foo' and your password is 'bar' then the file would say simply
foo
bar
If authentication is a problem, 'tail /var/log/messages' right after the
timeout should show that the serial line came up, then authentication failed,
then serial line disconnected.
I use no AT commands at all- the TA is an Eicon Diva, distro is RH 6.0.
There's a fairly good doc with a basic chat script (which worked right out of
the box for me) in RH /doc/HOWTO/mini/unmaintained/ISDN)
hope this helps

Also comment about you ifconfig statement, ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1 -
127.0.0.1 is the loop address, so the statement should be ifconfig lo

Then ifconfig eth0 X.X.X.X (your IP) netmask X.X.X.X

Subject: 3Com external ISDN TA, B1 only
Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 01:21:44 -0700
Hey there,
I'm looking for suggestions on how to get my 3Com external ISDN TA to
bind both chanels. 1 B chanel is all I can get. I know I need to use PAP
to use multilink PPP but this thing absolutely won't bind. It will bind
both chanels everytime if I use it on my Windblows box (but what good is
that?) and I've checked that my init string isn't doing anything wierd
like whackin S80 down to zero. The box is running RH 5.2 and as far as I
know if you use PAP and make sure multilink is turned on in the TA
(S80=1) then it can be used just like an external modem.
Thanks in advance,
Charles

I added the correct DNS name for the Solaris 2.6 machine to the /etc/exports
entry on the Linux NFS server, and then I got an NFS timeout error. That was
actually progress from "permission denied."
It turned out the problem was that Solaris 2.6 and Red Hat 6.0 don't like
each other's NFS implementation. I had to mount the NFS volume using vers=2
instead of the default Solaris setting of vers=3. That worked perfectly.

BTW, I am trying to move off a NetWare 5.0 machine for my home network--I
don't like Samba's file system performance nearly as well. But it's a small
price to pay for the ability to run regular service implementations like
sendmail and INN on my server machine.

Run a portscan program on the firewall itself. If they can't get at the
firewall, they can't get past it either.
IMHO, ipfwadm is way too fiddly to set up to deny Saint and Satan probes.

Subject: Dual homed firewall help.
Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 10:26:41 +0100
Hi,
I am about to get a 64K leased line in to host some web sites. I
currently have two machines that I'm going to use for this task. the
first is a Compaq Proliant 1600 with all the trimmings, and the second
is a crappy old Dell P120 with 32 Mb ram and 1Gb HDD.
I have 2 network cards in the Dell, and plan to use this as a dual homed
fire wall which proxies the services on the Compaq.
I would like to have the following services on the Compaq
External availablility.
www
mail (incoming / outgoing (imap and pop))
dns (internal and external as we are hoping to get a class C)
ssh or something similar for admin and off site users to login to
ftp for known users (not anonymous users)
ICMP
Internal Only
Samba (have to use some NT boxes here :( )
NFS
NIS
Would I be right in thinking that I can use the tisFWTK on the Dell with
RH6.0 to proxy these services? Do I than have to use IPChains to get
requests forwarded onto the internal network via eth1 (eth0 goes to the
external router from the Dell).
I'm having a little trouble getting my head around this configuration.
I have been using Linux for while know, but it's the first time I've
done anything like this. Has anyone done this before? Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Dan.

Some further info:
The connect speed under 3 below is only 33600 and I don't see any
activity
in the Dial-up Networking Monitor.
By the way, does anybody know how to set the modem/server to callback
with
ppp?
Two questions after having setup samba and ppp dial-in.
1) When establishing an IP connection from my NT to Linux through PPP,
I
seem not to have any IP service (such as Hylafax) available. It does
work if I establish a PPP connection from another Linux machine.
2) Will the samba services be available over PPP. As I understood,
samba
is an IP service. Probably the answer to question 1 will answer this
question.
3) When I connect to the server, I only get connected at 38400 instead
of the expected 57600, although I adaoted for this speed in the
config.cua0 and setup.modem files by giving a maximum of 115200.
Can anybody give an appropriate explanation ?
