You could also switch to runlevel 1 and then back:
init 1
init x (where x is the previous runlevel; on my machine - without X -
it's 2)

Yup. Thanks for the suggestions, but this did nothing to change the
situation. Still running about 24 KBytes/s on a large (48 MBytes)
FTP transfer.
The hardware hasn't changed since both boxes were running 2.03x kernels
(RH 5.2), so I don't suspect hardware problems, or MAC or IP collisions.
Any more suggestions, any one?

Has anyone come across a a driver for this Network Card(Chipset, whatever) I
have a driver that works reliably with a 2.0.35 kernel, but when I try
compiling it under 2.2 I get a few errors (dev_tint, dev_kfree
incompatabilities) after examining a couple 2.2 drivers I was able to make
the changes to get it to compile and it works, but it is far from reliable
causing system crashes whenever network traffic gets too high. I tried
changing the mode from Full Duplex to Half Duplex with no better results.
It's been years since I did any device driver programming, and that was for
speech synthesis not networking so any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I'm trying to setup a Dlink DE220PT 10BaseT ISA card in Redhat Linux 5.2
and I don't seem to be able to use the NE2000 driver as you've descibed
in your post. The installation program reports that it's "unable to find
the hardware anywhere in your system". I've used the D-link setup
program to turn off the PnP feature, and to set the IRQ and Base I/O
values but still, the installation program fails to detect my card.
Could you tell me how you managed to get your card to work? Thanks a
lot.
Devon.

Subject: Perl Script
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 13:52:42 GMT
My ISP, worldnet.att.net gave me a ppp-on script written in Perl. So I
typed it all in and i'm assuming it's Perl because the first line is
#!/usr/bin/perl as a matter of fact, here's the file:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Script to establish connection from a Linux system to
# worldnet via PPP.
#
$DOMAIN="worldnet.att.net";
$SEARCH=$DOMAIN;
$NAMESERVER1="204.127.160.1";
$NAMESERVER2="204.127.129.1";
$NAMESERVER3="204.127.129.2";
$NAME="999999999\@worldnet.att.net";
$PHONE="6213400"; # Cambridge, MA
$MODEM="/dev/modem";
$resolv = '>/etc/resolv.conf';
open(CONF,$resolv)|| die "Cannot open file: $resolv.\n
$! \n";
print CONF "\#resolv.conf - created by ".$ARGV."\n";
print CONF "domain ".$DOMAIN."\n";
print CONF "search ".$SEARCH."\n";
print CONF "nameserver ".$NAMESERVER1."\n";
print CONF "nameserver ".$NAMESERVER2."\n";
print CONF "nameserver ".$NAMESERVER3."\n";
$command="/usr/sbin/pppd name \"".$NAME."\"".
" -d connect \'/usr/sbin/chat -t 45 -v ABORT BUSY
\"\" ATDT".
$PHONE." CONNECT \"\"\' ".$MODEM.
" 57600 noipdefault modem defaultroute crtscts";
$ENV{'PATH'} = ''; # Make $ENV{'PATH'} untainted
system($command);
But when i execute it, it gives me errors like it is incorrect Perl
syntax. For example i get errors on the variable lines that say for
example:
="worldnet.att.net"; : not a valid command
="204.127.160.1"; : not a valid command
So i thought maybe Perl wasnt installed because i did not select it
during my Linux installation. So i went to my Linux CD and tried to
unpack two RPM's that said PERL at the beginning. But it said something
to the effect of, Its already installed. So i tried to take out all of
the $ signs, that cut down on the errors and it got rid of some of the
errors. So then I tried to issue the command that it was obiviously
trying to issue by typing : /usr/sbin/pppd name
"999999999\@worldnet.att.net" -d connect '/usr/sbin/chat -t 45 -v ABORT
BUSY ""ATDT*70,6812288 CONNECT""' /dev/modem 57600 noipdefault modem
defaultroute crtscts
But still i can't get it to dial out it waits for the ATDT line instead
of waiting for something else so it can issue the ATDT command. I know
my modem works and i used another ppp-on script that dialed out but
didnt work, because of the way my ISP account is setup. What is the
problem? Input would be greatly appreciated, THANX!
Very Frustrated,
--Dave

Rigorous engineering does not require static typing, strong typing
is what is needed for rigorous engineering, and that is what C++
doesn't have. Granted, if you write programs in a certain style you
can get the equivalent in C++ but C++ does not enforce this. How
about array bounds checking, built-in garbage-collection ? For larger
and more complex programs they are truly useful.
Your Lisp-bashing has gone a bit too far. Common Lisp has strong
typing with the proper safety declarations, array bounds-checking
and all the other stuff truly important for robust programs, that
are missing from C++. If you want a robust language like C++ then
try Eiffel.
Have you ever seriously used any of the more advanced languages
(Common Lisp, Scheme, Dylan, Prolog, etc.) in large programs ?
If you haven't, I suggest that you try them and learn them properly
and then try to make that statement again. In the future programs
will (hopefully) be more dynamic and dynamic languages are better
suited to the task.

Kack. That's close enough to rebooting to make no difference.
Try reading "man ifconfig", or for Redhat you can go into the
configuration GUI and bring the interface down and back up, or run the
ifdown and then ifup scripts that are in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

I have my linux machine and my NT machine connected with a cross-over
cable, so yes it's possible. You'd need to go through a hub to use a
straight through cable.
Can you ping your NT box, or vice versa? Ping is the best way to test
network connections. That will tell you if the interface and subnet
mask, etc is ok. Mounting a drive share involves more than just
network settings, i.e. passwords, workgroup name etc etc.

FreeBSD is not Linux so you can't do a "FreeBSD install of Linux". I
believe that you can do a FreeBSD install through the Wingate, but I don't
know how. To do a Debian FTP install, FTP the two boot disk images, and
the whole base disk set. After the computer reboots, select the "ftp"
method from dselect. I believe that you will need to select passive mode.

Have you tried
ls -l /usr/bin/perl
to see if perl is there and is executable?
If so try running a simpler perl script and see if it
works. Don't try editing the perl script. It should
work as is. The dollar signs designate a type of perl
variable(a scalar) so you need them. :)
Also check the perl version you're running. It may be
outdated. Perl v 5 or higher should work.
If you can't get perl working on your machine then you
can create the files by hand. Put the lines in the
/etc/resolve.conf file with an editor like emacs
instead of through the program.
IOW, in the file /etc/resolv.conf type
domain worldnet.att.net
in place of: $DOMAIN="worldnet.att.net";
search domain
in place of: $SEARCH=$DOMAIN;
and so on down the list.
You only have to set these files up once, so then you just
need to run your chat command. Worldnet has local newgroups
on usenet and somebody there who is using Linux to log in
should be more helpful.

As no such device exists you are going to have a hard time finding
such information.
If you mean an external TA which understands Hayes commands then you
operate it in exactly the same way as you would a modem.
