Maybe Apach does:

..Which usually works ;-)
So....
[if it's doing:
sh c_prog

That's the only obvious thing that's happening in the PPP
negotiation. It's not necessarily very bad, but the peers don't agree
on a compression algorithm. You should be able to specify the "noccp"
option to avoid it entirely.
Since you're using an old PPP version (2.3.3), you may want to upgrade.

Setting my asyncmap to 0xa000 sure helped. No stalls anymore!!!!
I now get lots of TX errors. There is no apparent problems as far as I can
tell but this maybe because I only transmit small size data. Is this transmit

O'Rielly puts out a great book on Internet Firewalls. It is not strictly
Linux, per se, but TCP/IP is TCP/IP. Make sure that you check out CERT
http://www.cert.org Sign up for their security bulletins, install PGP,
get their key. If you don't know what I am talking about, look at their
web site.
Also, look into DSL. FLashcom is starting to offer in parts of US 1.56 DSL
(thats 1.56 up and down) for the same price that you are probably paying
for your fractional T-1, $475/month. Bell charges $109 max for your
connection. It is a deal http://www.flashcom.com
About your firewall, the hardest thing will probably be getting two NICs
working on your box. I am trying to finagle (3) 3Com509's into a RedHat
box. The problem with 509's is that they store IRQ and address on an
EEPROM, making it tricky when they are all set up identical. So look at
what kind of cards you are going to use. Check out the Multiple Ethernet
card HOWTO on linux.org
You definitely want to assign your internal network a private class C
network address. Something like 192.168.X.X or 172.28.x.x What this does
for you is it prevents anyone from being able to access these machines by
ip over the internet, as these addresses are nonroutable.
Set up your machine with eth0 assigned to whatever it is now. Something in
your Internic assigned address space. Make its default gateway point to
your router.
Assign eth1 to something like 192.168.1.1 This will be the default gateway
for all machines that are connected to that side of your linux box. Then
you got to read the Firewall Proxy HOWTO. Then you need to decide where to
go from there. I am setting up three cards on my linux box. My firewall
machine will have eth0 go out to my external router, eth1 will point to my
perimeter network that will contain my bastion server, my email relay, www
server, ftp, whatever i offer to the Internet. The third card will point
to my internal network.
I am looking for a way to set up my entire kernel on a floppy. Ideally I
would get a cd burner, and burn a boot cd for linux for my firewall. That
way I could have it reboot every so often, and minimize the chance that
anyone hacks into my linux router.
Another thing, you want only the services that are necessary on your
firewall server. You do not want anything on there that can be exploited
that is not doing you any good. I do not believe in even keeping Xwindows
on my firewall server after it is set up. You probably want to set up your
server while it is disconnected from the internet, that way you minimize
the chance that some just happens to break into your system while you are
still putting it together, no likely, but possible. I am sure that you get
paid to be parinoid just like I do.
Install tripwire on your servers, download the latest version from CERT.
If you have any questions, there are a many great books and web sites that
are full of information. This was all just an overview, from my
perspective. I am sure that there are others that may disagree with my
methods. If someone has a better idea, please send me an email.
Good luck

You just have to start Linuxconf, and do the following steps:
1-Go to Config/Networking/Routing and Gateways/Set defaults/ and enable
Forwarding
2-Go to Control files and systems/configure linuxconf modules, and add
firewall
3-Quit and restart Linuxconf
4-Go to Networking/Firewalling/Firewalling Defaults
5-Add firewalling and special kernel modules (irc, ftp, etc)
6-Go to Forward Firewalling, and add a rule
7-The rule will control who have access to the internet. check "do
masquerading", type 192.168.0.0 in the "From" line, and "0.0.0.0" in the
"to:" line.
You have full on-line help in Linuxconf

Subject: Re: Samba semi-working; Need help with Internet Connection
[Courtesy of a QuestionExchange expert]
For the internet connectivity for Windows: you probably forgot to
turn on masquerading. You need to read the man page for ipfwadm (2.0
kernels)
or ipchains (2.2 kernels) to figure out how.
The Samba issue: Samba is picking up the name from the first ethernet
interface (eth0) which is your DHCP assigned IP that does resolve to
the odd (ADSL-216-62-152-xxx). This is a dangerous situation because
you really do not want Samba to be listening to packets coming from
the internet side. You can fix it by editing the interfaces line
in your samba configuration file (smb.conf). That line tells samba
what interface to use.
You actually have a third question concerning the hostname setting.
Without looking at your files, it is hard to know exactly what is going
on but a scenario consitent with the facts you give would be the
following:
Your network configuration (which uses the dhcp client) sets your
hostname
using the first ethernet interface's name. A quick fix would be
to re-set the hostname to your preferred one using the hostname
command after boot-up. Make sure that the hostname can be resolved
though (or else you will have to wait for name lookups that time out).
hope this helps,

Perhaps you missed the several places in my post where I referred to

As long as the modem is up and you're not getting prohibitive packet

Anybody done this? Ideas, URLS,
and war stories appreciated.
TIA.

Subject: triggering pppd through external phone call
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 21:42:44 -0400
Hi,
I have my box at home connected by modem via pppd to the net. Now I want
to trigger the dial-in process, by calling my machine (e.g. from work)
via normal telephone line (not from a computer), type some numbercode
(via toutch-tone) and hang up.
My home box then should dial in and send me an email to an external
emailaccount with its new IP address, so that I can login myself (i.g.
from work) and get the data I want.
The dialin through pppd is no problem (I have it triggered though
requesting a non-local IP adress), but how can I have mgetty watch the
line and responde to an touchetone message?
Thanks
harald
