I may be on a different plain of though but I used to have some mail
bouncing regularly (not all the time though).
Have you 'switched-off' POP3 mail delivery on your Demon Account. This was
the cause of my mail bouncing problems. Most Demon customers don't know this
function exists untill they try to run a mail gateway.
The page to switch off this function can be found at.

Hi all,
My NFS system is unstable. The clients frequently lost connection
from server. The linkage lost last for 1 sec to 2 mins. The unstability
began after my system has been moved to a new building. Plz give me
suggestions on getting rid of the annoying NFS linkage lost.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: samba and altering names of directory contents
Date: 7 Jun 1999 10:17:18 GMT
RH5.2, samba 2.0.3.
I run the RH machine to display the contents of the home directories on a
HPUX machine. The home directories on the HPUX are NFS exported and mounted
on the RH server. On the RH server these mounted directories are accessible
via samba.
The files in the home directories have a 5 digit numeral extentention. In
order to view these files via windows, for each file it must be noted that
notepad is the program to open these files.
Is it possible to add an extention to the files on the RH server only for
certain extentions that are noted ([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])?
the file EAFIL33.12045 must 'virtually' be converted to EAFIL33.12045.txt!
Thanx!
Frits.

Thanks Cliff, I agree that it can do the server side. I could easily write a

I want to conserve bandwidth and only have packets between server and client
when new mail arrives (and at login). So I want the server to "push" the email
notification to the client. I don't think fetchmail will do that unless I'm
missing something.
I also don't want to automatically send the entire email to the client (it
could be spam or a large unimportant attachment not worth using the bandwidth
for)
And, if the mail notification is compatible with any popular Windows email
client, then that'd be great. (Ie. when the server notices one of the email
accounts has new mail (by using fetchmail), then it tells the client (using
some protocol which I hope is a standard), and the client then uses standard
techniques (POP3) to check and download the mail.

Gut, dann stelle ich mir mal folgendes (als Beispiel) vor:
* Layer 4 (TCP) greift auf ATM als Ersatz f�r IP zu.
Kann gut funktionieren, solange du NUR ATM hast. Kommt was anderes
hinzu (Ethernet, TR, Modem DialUp) haut's dich auf die Nase :-(
* UDP baut f�r jedes Datagramm einen SVC auf -- na dann viel Spa�.
Dabei produzierst du nur Overhead (die Hauptbesch�ftigung der
Endger�te wird nur mehr call signaling und
fragmentation/reassambly sein).
Falls du mir jetzt mit einem SVC pro UDP-Session kommst -- vergiss
es. Eine UDP-Session gibt es per Definiton nicht, also kann ich
auch nicht die meherere DG in einem VC transportieren.
Du kannst dieses Szenario gerne mit allen m�glichen L4-Protokollen
durchexerzieren, wirst aber immer auf die selben Schwierigkeiten
stossen.
Ist es nicht so, da� sich die Funktionalit�t von L3 aus genau diesen
Gr�nden entwickelt hat? BTW, L3 wurde nicht k�nstlich erzeugt, sondern
es wurden Funktionen, die ein Netzwerk zur Verf�gung stellen mu� hier
zusammengefasst.
BTW, einer der ma�geblichen Gr�nde, warum NetBEUI abgesemmelt ist, war
die nicht vorhandene L3-Funktionalit�t. Da konnte die ganze
Marketingmaschinerie von M$ nichts dagegen machen -- Gott sei Dank ;-)

Aber Fakt ist, da� Mensch sich nun mal keine IP- oder sonstigen
numerischen Adressen merken kann/will, also ein Mapping von Namen auf
Adressen notwendig ist. Und solange Namen in der Applikation und
Adressen weiter unten im Stack auftauchen brauchen wir des.
Da� DNS gemischt mit NIS/YP und evtl. sogar /etc/hosts eine sehr
unverdauliche Suppe ist, da gehe ich mit dir konform.
BTW, in IPv6 kannst du dir ARP im IPv4-Sinne, mit all seinen traurigen
Auspr�gungen, sparen.
Aber du wirst mir auch zustimmen, da� wir jetzt und wahrscheinlich
auch noch in einigen Jahren (wenn nicht Jahrzehnten) in einer sehr
heterogenen Netzwerkumgebung leben m�ssen. Und solange wir Ethernet,
TR, FDDI, IPv4, IPV6, SPX, SNA etc. miteinander verbinden m�ssen,
werden wir um einen Layer 3 nicht herumkommen.

Fein! Dann designen wir halt eine. Fragt sich nur, ob alle anderen
dann nur mehr diese eine verwenden wollen. Wenn nicht, dann gibt's
halt wieder eine mehr ;-)

the 509B is one of the few cards that works _perfectly_ in linux. After you
