I don't know about Mr. Hansen, but I don't buy Lucent products. Ever. I
stopped buying Ascend stuff because Ascend was bought by Lucent. This is
because I gave them my email address on a questionnaire once, and they
subscribed me to a ton of mailing lists. Any company that can afford to
employ people that clueless doesn't need any of my money.
If you want to set up more than a half-dozen B-channels, you really need
to find out what the telephone company can do to help you. Frankly, it is
in their best interest and yours to deliver the stuff over the densest
line possible.
Since an European PRI has 31 B-channels, and assuming you can get a
flat-rate PRI service, it should be a lot more cost-effective to buy one
PRI than 16 BRIs. (Here in Houston, you can't get flat-rate outgoing
calls on PRI's, but for incoming calls, a PRI has 23 B-channels at about
$500 per month as opposed to a BRI with 2 B-channels at about $70 per
month.)
Note that it's the PRI part that's important, not whether you're feeding a
(Lucent nee Livingston) PM-4, a (Cisco) AS-5300, a Max-6000, or something
Linux based. There are a number of companies that sell high-speed
telephone interfaces with Linux drivers.
One that I know in particular is a company called Ariel
(http://www.ariel.com, I believe, their page requires frames and
Javascript and, therefore, it displays precisely nothing when I try to
view it with Lynx) who produces a PRI interface with modems and Linux
drivers. I know that it works with US PRI's (23 B-channels) but I don't
know about European PRI's. Perhaps Mr. Hansen can ask them.

Actually, if you do a default install of Windows 98 on a clean machine
that was not running any other OS other than DOS, it will install the
Netware client and the Microsoft network client, and will therefore also
install IPX. I've been using customized msbatch installs of Windows 95
for several years now so I can't recall if Win95 originally did the same
thing. But Win98 does.

You might be suprised with X-Windows just how far you could go teaching computer
illiterate people. All you need to do is teach them how to logon to a Linux
console (ie username & password) and then edit all the scripts to start the X
window system automatically (if you are using the bash shell, find the
.bash_profile files in each users home directory and add the command "startx" to
the file in the specified place. The other option is to switch the runlevel on
the Linux computer from 3 to 5. This will give each user a X Windows login
prompt and automatically take them to X, plus you still have your first six
consoles free because X runs on the 7th.
As far as a mail server, I would go with POP3. You can either use the RPM one
on the RH6 CD or go download and compile another free one called QPopper from
www.linuxberg.com. I haven't tried the one on the RH6 CD, but I currently use
QPopper at home and plan on setting it up as a mail server at my school.

I've heard some good things about the Adaptec multiport ethernet cards,
but I can't recall for sure if there is a standard linux driver for them.
I've also noticed that the 3Com (~$60) perform just as well as the
Netgear (~$15)... You could just add a few cards into the machine and
either run a load balancing software, or use the not-so-accurate load
balancing feature in the DNS records...

HDLC is not the problem. The Cisco doesn't care what you have on the
local LAN...it just routes packets. Are you sure that you have all of
the default gateways setup properly? What happens if you try a few of
the following on the Linux box:
traceroute -I www.yahoo.com
nslookup www.yahoo.com
If the routing isn't being handled by the Linux box, you should be able
to run any IP-enabled routing/connectivity protocols on the WAN line
as long as the routing is being handled by another device.

Infinite? Finite, surely!
To say that something takes an infinite amount of time to do is to say
that it can't be done. And yet, you will find that an assembly
language (or machine code) program of finite size and complexity is
generated whenever you compile a high level language program, even a
C++ program.

I would say "approaching sensible" and almost completely disagree with
the performance statement. In most cases a compiled program written in
a high level language performs very acceptably, but not nearly as well
as an equivalent program hand coded in assembly language (or machine
code).

I take it that you mean they must understand the principles, although
not necessarily how they are applied in C++.

Do you have DNS setup on the windows machine? It sounds like you know what

Anyway, i downloaded the latest code for the pcmcia stuff (not sure from

I noticed your email address is in Germany ... is that where you will be
setting up? You could probably still make a go at it there, but most
markets in the U.S. already have a load of ISPs and the competition is
very fierce and makes it difficult for a newcomer to compete in the
market.
Anyway, you could easily use a Linux box to route multimegabit, but the
cost of getting a T1/E1 card capable of multiple ports would probably be
more than the equivalent Cisco router. There are some advantages of each.
You might be interested in the Linux router project, www.linuxrouter.org
but if you go that route you definitely want to get a SanDisk (www.sandisk.com)
flash disk to run the stuff of of, so that you can fit more stuff and don't
have to worry about any moving parts to go bad in your media.
It's also entirely possible to run a fully functional router with a standard
Linux distribution (I'm sure you would be using SuSE :) ) You'd want to
put a lot of cooling fans in it, and make sure you're running a SCSI disk,
not an IDE. That's the only way you'll be able to get the stability up
to what would be totally comparable to the Cisco. Having a disk go out on
a router is a horrible thing to wake up to at 2:00 in the morning.
If you need any more info, I'd be happy to provide more info...

during logon, the driveletter won't be assigned to??!?!?!
Can anyone help me with this?

Hmm. I wonder who wrote the macro get_user that is used throughout the
linux kernel. It modifies its first argument and is named all lower case.
Must have just been a mediocre C programmer.

Maybe you should post that in a SOLARIS newsgroup and not a LINUX
newsgroup...

The full text is:
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
; encrypt passwords = yes
Note, especially, the line:
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
I use Samba on a Win95 (NOT Win98) LAN - and everything works WITHOUT this
option (the ; comments out the line).

The easiest way would be to write a shell or Perl script that uses wget
(aka geturl) to fetch a short page from the server and react according to
the results.
