Well one thing that should work is this. On the windows machine, hit
cancel at boot-up and then do settings | control panel| system| device
manager. Select the network adapter and click on properties. Check
disable in this profile. You might need to reboot, I'm not sure.
This wouldn't stop advanced users, obviously.
From, the linux side, another thing is that you could have no
unrestricted access to the linux box. That is, you could make it so
that every share has a comprehensive list of who is allowed to see
what. For only three machines it shouldn't be that hard.
good luck.

Well, that's my best shot except that a quick test shows that the PPP
interface here doesn't accept anything over 1500 if that's any help.
I was rather surprised to find that anyone actually uses the eql stuff,
which seems both dated and unmaintained.

@Home doesn't officially support Linux, but I talked an @Home network

that she had a lot of trouble getting hers to work too (wow! a tech support

AUP == Acceptable Use Policy - Terms of Service. You can IP Masq all you
want. With Comcast's @home, you can have up to three IP addresses, but if
you do IPMasqing/NAT, you can have as many computers as you want, you just
can't share it with your neighbors. Kinda like how you can have many TV's
on one cable, as long as they're all in one house.

Subject: linux NFS quota problem
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 19:59:15 GMT
I have a number of Sun/HP/AIX/linux boxes running NIS, with the home
directories mounted from a linux system. I have quotas set up for all
the NIS users, but some users are getting around their quotas (by
accident or by design) by putting files in their home directories that
are owned by local accounts on remote machines.
I haven't been able to find a way to get quotas to affect files owned
by accounts that are not visible from the NFS server. I would like to
know if there is a way to prevent users (who own their home
directories) from bypassing the quota. I may have to put a chown or a
find chown in cron, but I would prefer to solve the problem more
elegantly.
If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.

Derek;
Which POP3 daemon would you recommend for Linux?
I have had qpopper going on for a long time in our Solaris boxes,
and the new versions work very well.
We are testing Linux as a mail server OS, any ideas with sendmail and
pop3 would be appreciated.
Thanks

Can you mount the CD-ROM to other machines? If you can mount it to
other boxes you should have no problem getting the install started (I
have occasionally gotten errors during the install via nfs mount which
don't seem to happen with local CD-ROMs).

Why dont you just get an eudoramail.com account and use lynx to check

You might have heard this before etc but try using ppp-up located on our site.

It is very simple to set up and if you follow the guide that I wrote that
