First get PPP working without demand. Then use the options shown below
along with the ones you already have.
pppd 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2 ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote demand ...
Oh, and with a 2.2.x series kernel you likely need to setup for dynamic
IPs with "echo -n 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr"

I'm having trouble with my time zone settings.... I originally was set to
EST, but microsoft mail clients were picking that up and setting the time on
the messages an hour later (to EDT). So I then set my time zone to
US/Eastern, and now all my cron jobs are running an hour later than they
should. Any suggestions?

With GTE it was a bit different for us. We talked to the
guys before they came out, and configured our machine
accordingly. For the $90 setup fee, they installed a
3Com Vortex into our machine, and set it up in Windows.
We had to have Windows for them to configure it. :-(
So we wiped the 100MB /tmp partition, installed a minimal
Win95 (the first release, not even OSR2), let the guy
do his install, jotted down all the information, rebooted...

Here's the scenario: I am networking my fraternity house. I will
usually have no more than 5 windows 95/98 machines, but will never have
more than 13. Everyone must have Internet access, and we can only
afford dial-up. So I am currently working on networking and configuring
ppp on a Linux box, 486dx2/66 32 mb ram 540mbHD. I have my linux box
and my 98 box talking to each other. I want to use my linux box
strictly for a proxy server, and a switch type thing, where i have
multiple NICs. probably three nics, one for each floor and one for me
(the advantages of being the administrator :P ). What proxy server
software for linux is available? is it easy to set up? Should i use
the LRP routing software instead? Am i going about this the totally
wrong way? Any experiences? Input would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanx in advance!!

You could have upgraded kppp which also works. But I agree it's a good
idea to keep the old until you know without doubt that the new works.

Yes, I was refering to the American concentration camps.
It stuck out in my mind as something similar to other

I want to locate different clients in working rooms in a house with over

Hello Art,
Point taken on scaling and other features that come with this approach.
However , what is of interest is that on Windows NT there is a product called
NIC Express that can provide some of things we have been discussing. Check out
http://www.ipmetrics.com/ipms/ProductInfo.html
Now since this is already available on Win NT , is there something like this for
Linux ??

Subject: Various network questions with Redhat
Date: 28 Jun 1999 12:16:02 -0500
My church is in the process of upgrading their current Win95-based
gateway system to Linux. Linux RedHat 5.1 is installed and working
great. SMB is running really well and everything there is set up and
working.
Here is the problem....
The current Win95 box uses some mail-retrieval prgroam (Mdaemon, by
the people that make WinGate), to dial into an ISP and retrieve all
queued mail.
Currently, we have the modem in the Linux box, and using some scripts,
we can establish a PPP connection to the ISP. But the problem we're
running into is that sendmail doesn't want to retrieve the mail. I
don't know if it's a gateway problem or what I'm not doing properly.
Eventually, the church will be looking at getting a permanent
connection (ISDN or whatever) so dialling into the ISP every hour for
a few minutes to download mail won't be a problem anymore. In the
meantime, we need to get the system from running 'pppd' to actually
download incoming mail, process it (with Majordomo for mailing lists)
and send it back out.
Can anyone offer suggestions on things to try and settings to
double-check? I'm not very well versed in setting up Linux networks
and would really appreciate someone helping me through this.
I can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have any solutions.

C++ is a superset of C so this shouldn't be surprising. :)
I compiled and compared like this:
$ vi simple.c
$ /egcs/bin/gcc -O2 -s simple.c
$ mv simple.s simple.s.gcc
$ mv simple.c simple.cc
$ /egcs/bin/g++ -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -O2 -s simple.cc
$ mv simple.s simple.s.g++
$ diff -u simple.s.*
: Now, which C compiler are you comparing it against to say that "egcs
: -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -O2" is worse than it?
Look at the above, and what I quoted from Nathan Myers:
"[...]Take for example Egcs. C and C++, same code generator,
same optimizer."
My point was that C++ output is still bigger than C, _for the exact same
source code_, using the same code generator and optimizer.

If you don't get any output while pinging it means that packets are going
out and you don't get a reply from destination host. Check your routes. Who
initiates the ping windows or linux box?
What about your arp table after you tried to ping?

Try Intel Fast Ethernet cards.

What exactly do you mean by "networking"? What are you trying to accomplish?

If you are planning DNS for local use only it does not make sense unless you
have many stations on your network.
You can take advantage of cashing outside names with your DNS server.
Good luck!

I definitely wholeheartedly agree that templates are quite powerful, etc
(so much so that I'm going to be offering a templates course at
Columbia University in the fall ((Perhaps the very first such univ course
exclusively on templates???)) However, I think it's an overstatement
to say that classes are not a very powerful feature and that they can
be emulated well in C. I'm thinking of inheritance and virtuals
as class features. I don't think they emulate well in C at all.
But even w/o them, and that "C techniques" are rather mechanical
at just the raw class level on some things, I still don't think they
emulate well in C. Why do you want to have to do the mechanics?
