Subject: AOL and Linux
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 20:50:12 GMT
Okay, please don't flame me for posting this! :)
I'm trying to get my friend set up on Linux. Let's call him Dave.
Anyways, Dave has this problem. Until he goes back to school, (let's
say Texas A&M) in the fall, he needs to use GAyOL (Apologies to any
homosexuals, not the intention) to connect to the internet. His
e-mail and what-not reside on GAyOL, and he's not particularly ready
to give that up.
So my question then becomes, is there a viable client out there for
AOL on linux? Or is AOL really just an attractive client for a
standard PPP login?
He's not interested in the silly banners or the services except for
e-mail, (which I'm guessing can be gotten with another mail client),
the web, telnet, ftp, etc...
Anyways, if anyone has any information, it would be GREATLY
appreciated!
Thanks again!

Subject: PCI Eth Card w/ IRQ=5?
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 21:23:05 GMT
I am having problems finding an ethernet card that will work in my
machine since so many of today's cards are PNP and you can't change the
IRQ.
Bottom line: The only IRQ I have left availible in my system is IRQ 5.
Does anyone know a PCI Ethernet card that can use (or be configured to
use) IRQ 5? I have tried the Linksys and Intel to no avail.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
TIA,
John Hovell

You can order the Informix connect product for Linux which is free and
includes the Informix/Interbase ODBC driver from the Informix WEB Site through
Intraware, Informix's eBus partner. All of the ODBC
driver vendors have Linux drivers available and most are free for
non-commercial use.

In Linux, is there anyway to give "priority" to certain bandwidth
streams? For example, on my system I have a RealAudio server that
sometimes has its streams interrupted if one person happens to be
FTPing at that time on my measly 128k ISDN line. I would like to give
priority to RealAudio, and less priority to FTP. Is that possible?

As Nicholas said, at the smb:\> prompt, the only command is the standard unix:
mount <mount_point>. You can avoid this prompt completely however, by
specifying the mount point in the first command:
smbmount //<nt_host>/<nt_share> -c 'mount <mount_point> -u123 -g 456' -U
<nt_user> Note: the forward slashes will work in the newer versions of samba,
and as Nicholas said, the mount point must already exist, samba will not create
it.
You can also add the password by following <nt_user> immediately with
%<password>. (No spaces on either side of %.) But I think this is a security
risk. Not only is the password echoed to the screen in this case, but it
remains in the bash history file. So, I just wait for the password prompt
rather than adding it to the command.
HTH,
Yuki ^_^

No prob here ... I use both su and sudo, although my brother
and me are the only ones accessing the machine (he's not
allowed to su, and he may only /sbin/shutdown with sudo).
Meanwhile I also solved the "mystery" of su asking for the
root password: su only does this if there's no /etc/suauth
file - found out about it on a fresh Slackware 4.0 install
on another PC, which didn't have that file. So my guess is
that without an existing /etc/suauth, _everybody_ may use
su, but needs to know the root password to do so.

What you need to load is the right module. Look for the following sort
of lines in the boot-up messages (/var/log/messages):
ne.c: PCI BIOS reports Realtek 8029 at i/o 0x6000, irq 11.
Use of the PCI-NE2000 driver with this card is recommended!
ne.c:v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x6000: 00 00 b4 5a 9c 69
eth0: NE2000 found at 0x6000, using IRQ 11.
Then add the following lines to /etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 ne.o
options ne.o io=0x6000 irq=11
Adjust the io address and irq appropriately. Then re-boot and
you should be in business. Use netcfg to configure the interface.

Am I dreaming, or was there an option at one time to disable the Nagel

it's acks, and combined with fairly long propigation time the download
rate truly rots.
Does someone remember where this is/was, and can I set it in any
reasonable way? Building a kernel is reasonable ;-) In the 2.0.33 kernel
source there's Nagle mentioned in a lot of the net stuff, and
CONFIG_TCP_NAGLE_OFF if checked in the ifdef, but short of diddling it
in the raw source (I'm willing if I must), isn't there something in
config?
I'm trying a build with "CONFIG_TCP_NAGLE_OFF=y" inserted by hand in the
.config file, maybe the prompt got lost in menuconfig?

That error means the module for IP masq isnt loaded in the kernel. Load the
module or compile support in the kernel.

'Taint the card that determines the interrupt request on PCI slots.
When your computer is in it's memory count stage, hit whatever key or
combonation that brings up your BIOS configuration and look around in
the "Advanced Configuration" or "Adaptor Configuration" or whatever it's
called in yours.
You'll see one of the options of "PCI slots use xxxx"
The options there will probably be 'automatic' and 'manual'. If you get
them to manual, you'll be able to set the slot you're looking for to IRQ
5.
