I don't know about you, but to me this looks like a Linux newsgroup not
a psychic hotline. Take your stuff somewhere else cause there are
people here who actually want to talk about Linux, and they will focus
on the millenium and Y2K when the time comes, and I don't think they'll

Hi,
First a word of advice, do not do any tasks except administrative tasks
as root. Create a user account for normal everyday tasks such as
accessing the WWW, browsing the newsgroups etc. Now that's done with,
let's get on with your question.
In a nutshell, diald is not the one that is answering the phone. You
most probably has installed mgetty or a fax program that is doing so.
Look in /etc/inittab and comment out the lines that starts up mgetty or
any other terminal devices except for mingetty (which runs your login
terminal). Next issue an 'init q' at the command prompt as root.
Cheers.

I'm having some problems with diald on Rh5.1 and hope someone can help. The
problem is that when I enable diald and it dials in, it freezes after the
modems negotiate. (I can kill it, but it will just hang there if I don't.)
When I launch my connection manually, it works fine.
I am connecting using chap to AT&T worldnet, I use a script to connect
rather than the GUI within Xwindows. I have been to the diald home page and
read the FAQ. I followed the instuctions for the section on diald freezing
up during the connection process, without any luck. I also have IP
Masquerading set up to put my little lan on the net. I have rebuilt the
kernel with slip support for diald.
Here are the varius scripts and config files I am using.

Again, it only fails when using diald to launch the connection. I appreciate
anyone taking the time to help.

Hey Nick,
Go download a proxy server (I use SpoonProxy) for your Wintel machine.
Set the ports, etc., on your Linux web browser to the listening ports of
your Wintel proxy server. With some you can even map POP or SMTP, even
NNTP servers through.
As far as file sharing, use Samba w/ Wintel Network neighborhood and set
security on the WIntel machine to share and on the Linux to either share
or user.

I was trying to connect with the "usernet" tool. It is alot more
convennent than entering pppd at the
command line. OK, I'll admit it, I really don't understand the pppd
command, and the man page was
sort of opaque. Anyway, doing the chmod didn't help with usernet. When I
long on as a regular user,
it still tells me that no interfaces are user-enabled. Appreciate the
help. Another idea?

hi all
i'm sorry if this is off topic but i could'nt think of where else to
go..; ).
i have two quick questions, i have qmail set-up for our office, if it
receives a mail for a user on the local domain it delivers it to them any
mail for remote domains causes a dial up and it delivers it across the
net......"cool!" i say. but here are two problems that i have
1) we have one user that is in a remote office so his mail has to be
sent across the net. Is it possible for qmail to divert mail for letsay
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to another (remote) smtp server. but [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gets delivered locally.
2) is it possible for to schedule qmail-send to trigger qmail-rspawn
periodically. currently if there is remote mail it dials up immediately.
would it be possible to que this, and the send every half hour lets say.
i hope that the above is clear enough if not flame me...but if any one can
help it would be great
much appreciated

I softlinked ln -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf and I think if
my other problem is solved, this will be ok. At the rate erols is
morphing into RCN, I think I'll keep the dynamic DNS stuff.

To make my life easier, I'll probably change my /etc/syslog.conf to
isolate PPP traffic to /var/log/ppp instead of mixing it in woth
/var/log/messages. I have to do an install at work tomorrow, so I
probably won't get around to posting anything until later in the week.
Thanks for the advice, so far.

This may seem bassackwards, BUT <G>
Sometimes when I get boxed into a corner with linux on a
complicated(to me) setup what I found woks best is to make the
simplest possible part work, in your case I'd do the following.
Get a copy of exnet or wvdial or both and make them run, they are
straight forward and simple. When they work THEN start looking beyond

I had already cleared out the chat script at that point. For round two,
I decided to go back to basics and figured out how to directly launch
pppd from the command line and make it dial. Amazingly, it worked
fine. So, I made a really simple script from that.
The "How to Hook up PPP in Linux" article (
http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html ) was quite useful.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Now I have to figure out why diald won't install ...

Ok...my third post in 3 days....Again, Mandrake dist., the Etherfast
10/100 card, the tulip driver...
I've narrowed down my problem quite a bit in the last 3 days, but I
still haven't got it totally solved yet. Here we go again:
On bootup, insmod tulip isn't running properly, because loading the
tulip module returns an error. However, I am able to start the
card/module access up by logging in, entering the command: "insmod
tulip", then going to the etc/rc.d/rc3.d directory, and running
"S10network restart" and "S50inet restart". Once these two programs are
restarted with the tulip module loaded, I gain access to the internet
and can ping my heart away, and hit webpages just fine. However, I need
for all this to be done upon bootup BEFORE any users are logged in. I
plan on running my machine as a small time internet server for various
daemons. And with this error, my apache web server fails to load, and
even AFTER getting the network online, I can no longer load the httpd
daemon for apache, since it doesn't like being run under any user. Any
ideas? BTW, the responses I've gotten already have helped a lot in
getting this far, thank you all for your help :)

Hello all,
Here's the scenario. I have 2 apartments, my main living one

commotion (apartment B, Linux box B, Slack 3.6). My main box is at
apartment A, where it is a local call to connect to my ISP. At apartment
B, only a few miles away it is a toll call (over 20 cents a minute). I
am wondering if it is possibe to keep a permanent connection to my ISP
via modem from apartment A (I've read Dynamic-IP-Hacks) and dial in to
that box from apartment B, thus avoiding the toll charges. I would like

A. I have seen little documentation on this other than a brief 2 line
message about mgetty, which I cannot seem to find anywhere on sunsite

would need to have a working ppp-dialin on box A other than another
modem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
