I assume you mean that when someone wants to connect the the system
senses this and dials up.
If so then the answer is diald.
if you mean simply that you want to initiate a call from one command
then you just need the scripts for you ppp connection which would
be something like ppp-on and ppp-on-dialer and ppp-off.
There are a number of combinations like these. Once they are working
it seems little more needs to be done to get diald running and handling
thinks on a fully automatic basis. I have been using it on a 486 which
allows
my Pentium Linux PC and my Pentium Win95 PC to connect on demand for
about 5 months now.
hope this helps,

The IDS_POP3 server can run as a deamon.
Not sure where to find it. Just do a search from yahoo or something.

Hullo there!
Anybody out there aware of a POP3-Server that does not require inetd

Hi everybody,
I spent some minutes to setup the dialer scripts... and
since friday I'm stucked in the same point:
The modem dial to the IPS, I get the answer, send
username, passw, etc and at the end of connection .. where I have to
receive the confirmation of IP ... the program stops without
connection... I know I'm on the "edge of the connection"... but I
couldn't figure it out..
my resolv.conf is:
search virginia.edu (my provider)
nameserver 128.143.2.7
nameserver 128.143.22.19
Actually I'm using slackware and I have the netconfig, which allows me
to easily config these files... It should be working...
my questions:
1) what do I have to have in the route table?
My feeling says that the problem is here... I follow the
instructions from
http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html ... the problem I see here is
that my system was set for eth0 (and I don't have ethernet card... btw
how can I change these configurations ?? Is that in rc.inet1???)..
anyway... I set the router for ppp0 manually and what I noticed and it
still do not working...
2) Is there some other files to config ??
a) Dialin script
b)options
c) resolv.conf
d)??
Any help is welcome!!!!
Thank you

Redhat have different versions. 2.0.36-(and-a-number). I dont use.
I use kernels not altered by redhat. And as long as i have a
smc-ultra (Isa-card, 'Elite Ultra 2816*' not the EZ, i have
misunderstood you.) to sort out whatever could cause the trouble..

>Drivers have been compiled into the kernel. Should it go in as modules?
I dont know. I use the smc-ultra into the kernel. But as long as i
have another isa-nic, and set it via jumper or smc-setup-util: i
_know_ where to find it. And let lilo do the job. (have multiple
nic's).
(and if the nic can be set to, lets say; irq 10, 300, and another
memory area, why not, its available in the output of your 'cat
/proc/interrupts' and 'cat /proc/ioports')
>From an older smc-ultra.c
/* A zero-terminated list of I/O addresses to be probed. */
static unsigned int ultra_portlist[] __initdata =
{0x200, 0x220, 0x240, 0x280, 0x300, 0x340, 0x380, 0};
So if the nic is at other values, i guess probing will be problematic.
If a reeboot (to windows?) is what make it not working. And the nic
have som sort of PnP-funktion i it, i dont know, dont know the card...
sorry. Then it could be set to a value not probed for. And therefore
not found. I think.
(anyway:http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/)
_If_ it is possible to set the nic to a set value. Both the irq and
io. You _know_ where to find it. Then why is it not loading? (I
think. Loud.)
When _not_ working, is:
Interrupt:3 Base address:0x250 Memory:c0000-c2000
in use by anything else? (the range 0240-025f : SMC EtherEZ)
To set irq3 to 'legacy isa' in bios may help.
To disable the serial 2 (com2) in bios may help.
To disable 'boot with pnp-OS' in bios may help.

Subject: Help: 3com 3c590 Etherlink III: Driver loads but ????
Date: 31 May 1999 23:25:15 GMT
During bootup with RH5.2, the driver (3c59x) correctly finds the NIC at IRQ 9
and I/O 6600, however I can't ping and Samba doesn't work. The PCI NIC has an
RJ-45 port and the 3Com utilities reports that the card passes all tests. The
NIC also works fine under Win95 (the AMD 300 I am using is a dual boot
machine). I want to use this box as a database server (Sybase) but under
RH5.2 the machine is not reachable and cannot reach other machines on the
network, although it can ping it's own assigned IP address but nothing else.
The AMD 300 works under Win95, it is reachable (can be pinged and can ping
others), and is visible in the network neighborhood.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance....

Subject: Connecting Redhat through an NT server
Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 18:01:14 -0500
I currently use Win95 to connect to an NT server, which assigns me an IP and
DNS server. It asks for a username, password, and domain to log in. I also
run Winsock Proxy Client.
On a separate harddrive I installed RedHat 6.0 and can't get it to log on.
I believe the DHCP client is getting an IP but it never asks me for my login
info. Do I need to run Samba for this? I read a bunch of HOWTO files and
man pages and none seemed to address this situation. If anyone knows one
that does let me know. I know my ethernet card is recognized by linux and
it works fine under windows.

Subject: telnet is PAINFULLY SLOW
Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 21:08:02 GMT
Hi everybody
I just recently installed SuSE 6.1 on my workstation. Everything works
ok except for telnet. When I try to telnet to another Linux box on the
local network it crawls. It takes several seconds for a character to
appear on the screen after I type it.
Other computers on the same network don't have this problem. I also
tried telnet'ing while running windows on my machine -- no problems
either. This leads me to the conclusion that there's some kind of
misconfiguration on my SuSE box.
My workstation is:
Cyrix 6x86-PR200
64Mb RAM
6 gig HD
PCI ne2000 clone network card
SuSE 6.1 / kernel 2.2.5 (custom compiled)
The other Linux box is: (the gateway)
AMD 486dx4-100
32Mb RAM
1.2 gig HD
2 PCI ne2000 clone network cards
Debian 2.1 / kernel 2.2.9 (custom compiled)
The network is coax (10base2)
The Debian box is used to share a cable modem across the LAN.
As I said, everything works except for telnet -- it is slow to the point
of being unusable. And it only happens to my machine when it's running
Linux and I'm trying to telnet to the Debian box. Interestingly enough,
if I telnet to an outside host, bypassing the gateway, it works fine.
I am puzzled by this problem. Any ideas how I might fix it?
thanks,
Eugene

There *is* a problem with using crossover with 100Base-TX; not that it
can't be overcome: virtually all 100Base-TX cards on the market are
autodetecting 10/100 and half/full duplex. For many cards, the
autodetect algorithms will fail if used over a crossover cable,
causing it to fall down to 10/half when it should be able to do
100/full over that arrangement.
The solution is to force the media type on at least one side of the
cable. How to do that is driver-dependent; most Linux drivers will
let you do that by passing module arguments. Probably ought to be
done via /proc/sys or ifconfig or something similar, but currently no
generic or runtime interface exists.

Hi,
I think you must find out what is faulty on your system. I feel sure
something must be.
Have you reconnected the 2 PC's with the crossed cable, bypassing the hub?
If so do they still work normally?
If they do then either the hub, it's power supply or one of the straight
cables is faulty.
If they dont then one of the NIC's has now got a problem.
hope this helps,
best wishes,
norm

Peter,
Don't really know what to tell you. I didn't have to change anything to
go from userland nfs on kernel 2.0.36 to kernel nfs on 2.2.9. I am using
the kernel based automount as well.
It does kind of sound like a reverse DNS lookup problem. You might check
to see that the ip to name is configured in /etc/hosts on both boxes.

Subject: Re: Samba Printing
Date: Tue, 01 Jun 1999 00:18:30 +0200
Hi Trevor,
I have exactly the same problem like you. I=B4m running RH6 on my server
and want to make it an NT-domain. That works fine; users can login und
share their "homes".
Just printing doesn=B4t work. I=B4m wondering because the printing with
RH5.2 (with the same /etc/smb.conf) worked fine.
Maybe an update to a higher (or lower?!) version of samba could be the
solution.
Now on the NT-client I=B4m printing on the UNIX-lp-Queue. To enable this,=
you have to install the "NT printing services" (via "Network Properties"
-> "Services" -> "ADD").
When you add a printer, you have to choose "Local printer" and add a
port like "hostname:lp".
On the server, you have to enable printing for UNIX-machines.
You have to edit 2 files:
/etc/hosts.lpd:
client.mydomain.com
and /etc/hosts.allow:
ALL: .mydomain.com
Now you should be able to print via UNIX-Queue, although you=B4re running=
an NT workstation :)
Kind regards
Bjoern

Check regularly for RedHat updates, for starters.
