I found something called lm_sensors that works nicely on my PII/350
which features one of the supported chips on the motherboard. Chances
are your machine uses one of the supported chips too (there is a list of
things manufacturers use, which is relatively short all well covered by
the lm_sensors stuff).

Try writing a little shell script that changes to 7,e,1 lets chat to
the talking and switches back to 8,n,1 before returning (and letting
pppd do its stuff). See the stty man page and use redirection to twiddle
the serial line.

Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 19:15:26 GMT
Short 'n sweet:
Linux box --- crossover 10BT cable --- Mac, neither can ping the other.
Details:
I have a new Linux box, running Red Hat 6.0. It also has a small Win95
test partition, with which I verified that all the hardware (including
the ethernet card) is functional. After much frustration, I have
managed to get the ethernet card to be recognized by linux. ifconfig
reports eth0 is alive and well, and the box can ping itself both with
localhost and eth0's IP address, but the first packet never goes
anywhere when pinging my Mac (an old G3 running MacOS 8.5) and the Mac
can't ping the Linux box either.
I understand the basics of UNIX, but I am no sysadmin. How do I get
there from here? Is there some lower-level diagnostic than ping that I
should be using?
- Bruce
PS; as a service to anyone searching usenet for ethernet adapter advice,
I would like to state that my ethernet card with 'EN5038' on the main
chip is aparently a Realtek 8139 clone, and the rtl8139 driver can find
the card and even query it for irq and i/o address.

Are you _sure_ your domainname is correct? It looks suspiciously like an IP

Sounds like you have a problem with either advanced power management

Grant,
I haven't actually used it, but the newer linux kernels come
with the ability to turn on "traffic shaper" functionality.
The terminology seems to be taken from the feature on cisco
routers which allows bandwidth on network interfaces to be
controlled to average and burst limits.
Take a look in the kernel source code or in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation.
You'll probably need 2.2.x or above.
Good luck!

Put these two lines in your /etc/sysconfig/network file:
GATEWAY=192.168.1.x (whatever your gateway device's IP is)
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
I'd be willing to bet they're not in there.

Actually, I think you do need to use masquerading to share the one
modem connection. Or IP chains or whatever it is that people do
instead of masquerading. I am currently doing that with a hub full of
win95 machines and a linux server that's masquerading them on the net.
I learned how to do it from the excellent text _The Linux Network_ by
Fred Butzen and Christopher Hilton. There are also howto's, but I
don't know exactly where. I usually find them by searching at
redhat.com and linux.org and by searching newsgroups at dejanews.com.
You do need a crossover cable, if you don't use a hub. I don't think
the machines will ever know the difference, however. You have a lan
consisting of one machine and a server. Or a lan consisting of two
peers, if you want to look at it that way.
good luck!

That's only true if you're running a nameserver on the local machine. Most
people don't run a nameserver on their workstation, and the nameserver line
in resolv.conf is how they tell the resolver where the nameserver is.
The forwarders option in named.conf is used to force the nameserver to send
its non-local queries to a specific server. Normally, the nameserver will
perform an iterative query by starting from the root servers.

Depending on your particular needs, you could
- Use an external application that already does this (like wget, curl,
snarf; look for details at http://freshmeat.net)),
- use some perl code (see Net::FTP(3pm)),
- or use a library like ftplib (ftp://ftp.cnj.digex.net/pub/cnj/pfau/).
If you insist on implementing it yourself, you can find the relevant
standards and specification on many places on the net, e.g.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/ .
