`Anything like that' refers to HCF (host-controlled family)
and HSP (host signal processing) modems.
Acronyms like DSP, USB, RPI, and PCI are most likely your enemies
as well (just avoid those and live happily ever after).

If you have X running, there is a tool for adding packages among those
icons as root (I think the actual program is called glint). Otherwise see
'man rpm'.
If you want to access your Linux box by name, put a name for it in
\windows\hosts of the Win boxes an names for the Win IP's in /etc/hosts
(unless you are running properly configured DNS). This will avoid delays
caused by reverse lookup (Linux is cautious and attempts to do a reverse
lookup of anyone connecting to it).

Well kind of.
the .cw file is really a list of who senmail will handle mail for.
ie maybe dumping it in a file for some one else.
ie forwarding to another machine on your local net.
sendmail.cw does not have any affect on the readdressing of mail!

See the HOWTO for IP Masquerade. You also need to enable ip_forward
(somewhere in /proc) by changing its contents from 0 (zero) to 1.
However, there are 2 ip_forward files and the other one stores the results
of forward and firewall commands.

Subject: Tuning Linux 2.2 IP for coast-to-coast performance
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 01:09:22 GMT
Hello, all.
I'm in the process of setting up linux servers whose primary
function is going to be moving _large_ files (>1 gb) from coast to
coast, i.e. 80 ms round trip delay using ping on an unloaded network.
The servers will be at 100mbps full duplex and the backbone will be
running at OC-3/OC-12. What sort of parameters should I plug into
/proc/sys/net to acheive best performance? The applications will be ftp
and TCP based.
Back-to-back testing of the servers in the lab shows
11Mbytes/sec (~88Mbps), so I have an upper threshold for the performance
and I'd like to make sure that we get good numbers once there's more
latency in the network.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: PCI Eth Card w/ IRQ=5?
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 01:30:36 GMT
Something else I find peculiar is that PCI ethernet cards prefer high
IRQ's. The best way to get a high IRQ (and still allow the BIOS to do it's
own magic) is to place the card in PCI 0 or 1 (PCI 0 is preferred if you
have AGP video). I had nothing but trouble until I arranged my cards like
this:
0 S3 ViRGE Video
1 Realtek Ethernet
2 Voodoo Graphics
3 Advansys SCSI
Currently, I have:
A Voodoo Banshee
0 Linksys Ethernet
1 Advansys SCSI
2 Ensoniq PCI Sound
On a side note, I prefer 3Com or Linksys cards. The 3Com 905 has run well
for me, as well as the Linksys EtherExpress 10/100 (DEC Tulip).

I made the same mistake. Find and install the RPM named
wu-ftpd-2.5.0-2.i386.rpm. (You probably got a lower version number with
your distribution; the one I mention comes from Red Hat's errata page.) I
believe this package provides the ftp services (as opposed to the client,
which you probably installed).
You can use %rpm -qlp <package-name> to see what the package installs;
this shows that in.ftpd actually goes in /usr/sbin for Red Hat 6.

Subject: headless server
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 01:04:04 GMT
Serial Consoles - New on the x86 and Alpha versions. The kernel now echoes
all text through a defined serial port. By cleverly attaching a getty to
that same serial port, 2 way communications can be achieved over a serial
link with the Linux operating system. These configurations are typically
known as "headless" machines and have been supported for a long time in the
SPARC kernel.
The above is straight from the RedHat webpage. I bought RedHat 6.0 primarily
for this feature.
I can't figure out how to do it. I called RedHat and there tech support
didn't know either.
This is in my opinion a very valuable feature. Anybody have info.

Well, the fact that it works only without mgetty being active isn't

Then I'm running out of ideas. The only other possible source
would be the mgetty version you're using - 1.1.14 is way outdated
(I'm currently running 1.1.19-something) .But that doesn't solve
the mystery that mgetty doesn't recognize your pppd activity at all.
(Idea: Please send me your mgetty.config file, and another excerpt
of your mgetty logfile [with an attempted pppd call]) .

Subject: PPP default routing - newbie
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 02:56:43 -0700
Apologies if this is a common question -- I'm a new user to Linux (3
days) and am using Red Hat 5.2. I'm following an online tutorial for
setting up a PPP connection, and am having a problem with the default
routing. After establishing a PPP connection using Minicom, I issue the
command: route -n
The result is a table with only one interface pointed to ppp0. The
tutorial says there must be two, and indeed, when I change my Default
Gateway setting to the address listed as currently pointing to ppp0, I
can ping, surf the web, etc. (I change this using linuxconf...I don't
know what file its actually changing).
However, every time I dial in, the destination address is different (as
I am connecting to one of my ISP's many dial in servers, which I cannot
specify), and thus, I must reset the default gateway.
What is the proper way to set up default routing for my PPP connection?
Thank you in advance,
Steve Willis

Welll actually <G>
Benjamin is partly correct. it should be:
http://<your host name> the default is localhost
More importantly though you failed to tell us just HOW you could not
connect. Vua a samba network? some other network? stand alone
machine? Does ANYTHING work between the machines, or is it just
Apache you cannot access. Need lots of info to be able to help you
and give meaningful answers.

Dan, for a 'quickie' ppp that works download either eznet or wvdial,
both are free D/L's and available on many linux sites. Try
Freshmeat.com or some such.
then look at their files they make things very clear as to what is
happening or should happen upon ppp event.
