An update: I put an 8013WC in at eth1 (io300, irq10) and it pings
fine. The 8013W's still do not work.
Anyone know the difference between the 8013W and the 8013WC that might
explain this? The 8013W's are marked WDC, 1990 and are jumpered to
"soft" io/irq/ram. They pass all the SMC EZSTART tests. The 8013WC
is marked SMC, 1992, similarly jumpered, and passes all the tests.
Regards,
Rohan

When I do
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
I get Win95 long file names in Linux, so I don't have to rename anything
after copying files off the floppy. I'm using RH5.2 (2.0.36) with the
"stock" kernel, which has vfat built into it.

Hi !
Yes, these suc...r.s .... very nasty boys from Red-Hat have put POP-3
package into IMAP one. So, in order to use POP-3, you must install IMAP
package. What a silliness !
IMAP is a very different standard for Email from POP-3, this could'nt be
guessed easilly at all.
I love Linux Red-Hat, but for this I am angry. I lost hours finding it out.
Bye !

Subject: MARS/Netware server help.
Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 13:45:31 -0400
I'm trying to get MARS running as a Novell server on a SuSE 6.1 box. I
believe I have the server setup ok, the daemon is running and the server
shows itself when I do an slist on the server. I have read the Linux IPX
Howto and the little bit of docs that come with MARS. I still can't get
the server to show up on the network at a workstation. I think the
problem may be at the client side. Any tips on the client side setup? My
clients are all Win95. I have tried both the Netware client that comes
with Win95 and the Novell 3.1 client off their site.
ANY help greatly appreciated.
e-mail response much preferred.
Thanks in advance,
Christopher A. Gaul

THANKS: I installed bind-8.1.1-6.i386.rpm, bind-doc-8.1.1-6.i386.rpm,
and bind-utils-8.1.1-6.i386.rpm all from the COL 2.2 CD 1 using
kpackage. I now have access to the command ndc (just a script interface
to named???) that Gary referenced.
QUESTION: Understanding that I do have some more reading to do (RTM),
but does using this command assume that I am running a DNS server
(named) on my laptop? Is this necessary? I only want my laptop to
communicate out, not back. I understand that lots of applications need
to be peer-to-peer, but will ndc actually modify (communicate to) the
name servers listed in my /etc/resolv.conf file? Or will it only
communicate to the DNS running on my laptop? Currently
# ndc restart
does not work for me since I do not have a /etc/named.conf file yet.
IMHO: One thing about kpackage and COL 2.2 in general, I haven't been
getting complete installs, sure the binaries are all there (??), but no
files. Meaning no /etc/named.conf when I installed bind and no
/etc/named.conf on the initial install. I noticed the same thing with
samba and dhcpcd as well.
Thanks for your help!

This works if I know all of the entries in the route table to begin
with. meaning if I was doing this by hand (manually) I could accomplish
my task. I am looking for an automated way (script) to completely
rebuild the route table for a given NIC (or eth0 in my case) regardless
of its current state.
Right now, so long as I am only adding and removing a single default
route for each network configuration, I should be fine.
route delete default
route add default gw 10.15.1.1 eth0
Thanks for your help!

NT with SP4 needs encryption, 4.4.2.2. on my web-page.
You need WINS for cross-subnet browsing, that is there as well.

1) most modern modems has their own inactivity time-out
You may set it via initial AT command
2) pppd has another inactivity timer
See "man pppd" for details
3) try the following script
#!/bin/bash
sendmail -q &
su -c "fetchmail" fetchmail-user &
# wait for both children to finish
wait
# You may disconnect now
