You were following-up to a post that said "Linux apps *are* Solaris apps".
But anyway --- can you name 5 apps from the top of your head that are
available for Solaris/x86 and do not run under IBCS?

I need to change the display of my RH6.0 xwindows sessions. Currently they
are set to 640x480 and I need them at 800x600. Being a newbie, is there a
simple way to fix this rather than re-installing.
Thanks,

Subject: IP masq/ADSL modem?
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 01:24:22 GMT
Ok, I'm kind of a Linux newbie, but I swear I've tried the FAQ's and
only got more confused...
Running Caldera OL 2.2 on an old Pentium. It has a static IP address
assigned to its Ethernet card, which is plugged into a simple hub,
which goes to my ADSL modem. All network operations seem to work fine.
However, I also have a W98 machine, also with a NIC plugged into the
hub, which I'd like to also have Internet access. My understanding is
that I ought to be using IP masquerading to accomplish this.
My question is, what should the IP address of my Linux box be? The
documentation I've read talks about having a subnetwork set up, in
which both machines have 168.192.0.x (I might not be remembering those
numbers exactly but you get the point) non-public IP addresses. The W98
machine then uses the Linux box's non-public IP as its gateway. But if
I have eth0 bound to the non-public IP address, how do I specify the
static public address that all the traffic from both machines will
eventually be using? I've seen one example setup in which there were
two NIC's in the Linux box, one for each IP address (subnet, public),
but I hope that's not the only solution. (The documentation I've come
across seems to assume ppp/server-assigned IP addressing).
Thanks in advance for any help and/or direction to any documentation
that might apply more specifically to these circumstances.

I would like to multi-link (ppp) two analog modems on my linux box to my
cisco 2500series router at work. Due to phone line quality at work I can
only connect at 26.4, so I would like to be able to utilize two modems to
increase productivity. I am unfamiliar with this subject, but my sysadmin
has agreed to help on the router side. So my question is how do I set up
the linux (client, dial-out) box? I am using US Robotics modems, SuSE6.1

Thank you! That did the trick beautifully. It was almost too easy. ;)
I only had to make one modification because I'm subnetted down to a class C
network rather than class B. But other than that, all went exactly as you
instructed.
Many thanks,

Subject: no carrier msg when connecting
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 18:55:23 -0700
I have a Zoom 56k voice faxmodem with pnp disabled. I'm using the RedHat
5.2 distribution. I've been using minicom to connect. It dials out fine,
handshakes, logon and pass, then I recieve a line of characters followed by
a NO CARRIER. I assume that the characters represent line noise. I tried
several init strings for disabling v.90 and kflex. I changed pops and
nothing seems to work.
I tried to connect thru Xwindows, with no luck either. I followed the
screenshots for my ISP and I can't even get it to dial out. I recieve no
output from the modem. No errors, nothing.
I have no problem connecting with win98, which is in the same system on the
primary hd.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated? Leave msgs on news group.
Thanks in advance,
jp

Well it has been a pain in the ass changing distributions.
but what the hell, at least everything is now glibc2 based.
Yes I got the pppd to work and connected to Demon ISP
for much much longer than a single second.
Thanks guy to pointing out 192 vs 193 ?!
The only thing that does not work out of the box is email
from Netscape 4.51 communicator.
Sorting out the `dialout' permissions so I can dial in without
using the superuser.
I want to use `kppp' as a normal user
too.
Reconfigure Xdefaults and add `osfActivate' to text translation
so that RETURN works in Netscape and other Motif applc'n.
Moral of the story.
Upgrade to latest kernel (2.2.10 or better) if the
`pppd:ioctl() Operation not permitted' rears its ugly head
and get pppd 2.3.8 too while you are at it.
Now its on to sendmail, but not tonite, because I gotta go work
early in the morning too !!!

I was worried about my speed also. I called sympatico tech support, and they
pointed to the local proxy server. I'm using mpowered pc here in halifax,
which is also sympatico, so you probably have the same available. My
download speeds from the proxy were great, but I live very close to the
server (< 1/2 mile). The problem is a combination of busy servers in the
Linux community, and the number of hops. However, I think your concerns are
justified, I used cable last year and it appeared much faster.
Anyway, my proxy server is located ftp://proxy.mpowered.net , and you
should have a similar url for your region.
I hope this helps

make sure you have ipmasq compiled into your kernel and then if it is
a 2.0.* kernel, use ipfwadm. If it is a 2.2.* kernel, use ipchains
(there are good howto's out there for both, you should read them if you
haven't yet). If all this is done, have you added this to a startup
script (I have mine in rc.local)
echo '1' > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I spent the better part of two days overlooking this very simple piece
of the ipmasq puzzle before I got mine to work.

Just an addendum. This will work for all kernels up to 2.2.x. From 2.2
and up, you need to use ipchains to do the work. Look for the newest
masquerade howto and it will explain the change.

I started out on WinNT4 with TCI/@Home. I'm running two
Linux boxes now (I bought another IP address) and I'm
thrilled with the performance and reliability southern

I have a DEC chipset card that is working fine for the most part. One
thing, it won't do 100MB connections to the hub. Right now, it is
running in a linux machine with kernel 2.3.5, is local network card
hooked up to a 10/100 HUB. There is another 10 only SMC card connected
to a mediaone cable modem (actually a motorola cable modem supplied by
mediaone). Is there some sort of setting or switch to get it to run at
100 or what? Anyone know or have any experience here?

I don't know if this is relevant,
but if ppp is using /dev/modem
it will call its lockfile LCK..modem,
while mgetty will call its lockfile LCK..ttyS3.

I would try using kermit (or maybe minicom) at the far end,
and see if you actually do get a RING,
or what you do get.

I have Roadrunner from Media General in Northern VA. It's great when it's
up. Last week it was non-operational when "I" needed it. They gave me a
refund for those days (5 over 6 days).
The speed is there and I have taken performance snap shots provided by
netwatch (I compiled it under Slackware 2.0.35). I've peaked at just over
500kbps and average around 300kbps. It depends where I connect to which has
a lot to do with it. Since the upgrade of some components on their network,
I have not checked.
Cost was my decision for this area that has both ADSL (Bell Atlantic) and
cable modem. They are just about a wash in basic recurring and installation
costs. BUT, Bell Atlantic wanted me to own the modem at $300+. Media
General offered the modem as part of the cost (that was a wash [even]).
Media General's support is up to the modem. Bell Atlantic support was the
wall outlet. BIG Difference in support. Don't want to own a modem anymore
where the technology is moving too fast - I still have an external 2,400 bps
modem that still works; why?
