Is that a homebrew setup (i.e. not going via your ISP, etc)?
I'd suspect something in the modem setup. Back in the 80's I used to
mess about with arcterm, kermit and procomm (on their respective platforms)
to sort that. I'm sure minicom will pack a nice frontend to the same
thing today.

Subject: Linux FTP install via Wingate on 98
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 10:25:35 GMT
Is it possible to do, in my instance, a Debian or FreeBSD install of Linux
through a Wingate 3.0 server being run on a Windows 98 machine?
I know it's possible to access the net if linux is already installed, but I
want to install linux.
Any ideas?
Thanks

G'day,
I've configured my dns data, such that everything works ok,
except that when I look up the network name.
That is, I want foo.org to return a particular IP,
(the same as www.foo.org.) Obviously slashdot.org does this
so it must be possible...
$ nslookup

The hp4000 has its own lpd (printer daemon) so you don't need to use samba
at all. You simply telnet to the printer, give it its own ip address and set
up your /etc/printcap file with the following lines (replace 203.57.11.222
with your own printer's ip address).
===== cut here =====

DNS is disabled on this box. I've even gone as far as to remove the resolv.conf
file. Besides, tcpdump shows that the box is able to send acks to whatever
remote machine is involved. Also remember that all established connections can
reach any host via telnet, ftp, rlogin, etc... (as long as they're in the hosts
table of course). As for the network card, this problem has been replicated on
three other identical systems to rule out just that. Network traffic is
non-existent on this box. I've even prevented misc. services such as sendmail
from starting to make sure to no avail. Thanks for your responses though.

Fair enough. Write a library and benchmark it against Blitz++.
(See http://oonumerics.org/blitz/index.html). If what you say is
true, it should be a *lot* easier to write the equivalent library
in Dylan, and then the benchmarks will speak for themselves.
Todd Veldhuizen's earlier papers offer a variety of examples
of much smaller implementations which would be good practice.
I await eagerly a report of your results.
The Object-Oriented Numerics mailing list (linked there) is
language-agnostic, and would welcome any questions you have.

Hi,
I need a method of keeping passwords on a linux and NTv4.0 server
synchronised (and preferably a method of logging into both at once). I
have found several links to Unix and NT synchronisation, but haven't
found anything dealing specifically with Linux. Could someone point me
in the right direction and / or tell me of their experiences of doing
this?

It is. Be aware, though, that this is just an example file. Edit it

Subject: DNEWS 5 News Server Mthly Pointer to FAQ
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 03:31:50 GMT
This message is a brief description of the DNEWS News Server
features and a pointer to the FAQ and binary areas.
DNEWS is a high performance NNTP News Server. It is suitable
for large and small ISP's and Corporate Intranets. DNEWS is
available for all common operating systems, installs easily and
is designed to run unattended.
Design :
Database : DNEWS incorporates a database specifically
designed for News, enabling DNEWS to handle full news feeds
more efficiently and faster than other news server software.
This is important as news volumes continue to grow rapidly.
DNEWS can provide significant performance improvements
particularly where resources are limited.
Dynamic Sucking Feed Option: In addition to traditional news
feed options DNEWS also provides the unique Dynamic Feed
option. A Dynamic News Feed offers business and smaller sites
several important advantages over traditional full or
partial news feeds. The Dynamic Feed delivers enormous savings
in Network bandwidth and diskspace compared to taking a full
feed.
Performance is significantly enhanced as the high redundancy
of the full feed is automatically eliminated. Unlike the older
traditional partial feed a Dynamic Feed does not require users
access to be limited or the maintenance of updating selected
groups to meet users changing needs.
By dynamically reflecting users reading habits the server
automatically only gets and maintains those news
groups that users actually want to read. In this way users
retains all the advantages of the full news feed while
enormous saving in network bandwidth and diskspace are
possible.
The process is completely automatic so there is no
ongoing administration .
News Reader Efficiency: The advanced design significantly improves
news server efficiency. On similar Hardware DNEWS will
typically support 2 times as many news readers per server
with the same fast interactive response time.
Scalability: Designed for high scalability DNEWS design will
handle 0-60 Gig news spools most efficiently. Can be
configured with 2-10 Multiple Server processes on single
server each handling 50-200 concurrent users.
DNEWS can be configured to take multiple full news feeds
and up to 16 dynamic suck feeds and can efficiently send
multiple full feeds with built-in Live feed technology.
Easy Installation and Management: Designed to run unattended
DNEWS is easy to install with virtually no ongoing management.
Key Features:
Easy Installation - totally configurable without recompiling.
Low Maintenance - designed to run unattended.
Support for Multiple IHAVE Feeds
Support for Multiple Dynamic Suck Feeds
Built in Live Feeds Technology for sending full news feeds to other
servers with the efficiency of a news router.
News to Web Gateway , for putting news onto web pages , with full
text searching .
New to Mail Gateways (both ways)
PGP authentication (optional)
Flexible Access and Security options for reading and posting.
Flexible Expire Options allowing intelligently response to number of
items and available diskspace.
Advanced 'SPAM' detection and filtering mechanisms.
Email confirmation of posts.
XOVER extensions implemented in software removing the need for a
separate ' XOVER' database
Streaming extensions are built in speeding up feed throughput

Commercially supported
DNEWS is a not FREEWARE. Registration is free to state schools and
universities for non profit purposes.

Yes. You can't use it if no modem is connected to that port
