You poor unfortunate soul!
It's a Winmodem: less than a modem. It uses your CPU to encode the data and
send it, slowing more important things down as a result. That's bad news if
you are doing something CPU intensive. A real modem does that work itself,
freeing your computer to get a higher frame rate when playing Quake II.
Luckily, the only OS known to run these cheap modems is Windows (that's why
they call them Win modems) so the rest of us are safe for the moment. And
in case you're wondering that answer is "no". Nobody is working on a Linux
driver for Winmodems. I believe that non-disclosure agreements involving
the hardware are the big problem. That and the fact the Winmodems are
detested by non-Windows users.
My suggestion is that if you can take the modem back, then exchange it for a
real modem. In general, an external modem is not a Winmodem (unless it's a
USB modem). Also, ISA modems (with jumpers) are generally not WinModems.
Almost all PCI modems are Winmodems.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I thought that Windows had an option to query the DHCP server for the DNS
server IP's. Very nice. Not that it's going to convince me to embrace
Windoughs, but it's still nice ... and sane, which is surprising considering
where it came from.
I do not know if Linux has support for dynamic nameserver specifications.

Just mounting someone else's / as your own is insufficient; each node
needs to have its own copies of a few key files (eg, passwd, networking
stuff). The way I'm doing it now is with the etherboot package and DHCP
on the server, with nfs-root enabled of course. The filesystem I'm
mounting as the client's / is a hacked-up version of CClinux; this was
necessary since I had to get init working. That was harder than it may
sound; I first tried to just copy over my /etc from the server and alter
a few key files, hoping I'd save some time. That failed; the startup
scripts depended on way too much stuff I didn't have on the client's fs.
Mounting other exports via nfs (eg, /usr) was trickier than expected; I
finally realized that I had to include a route to localhost for
portmapper to work. D'oh.
Anyway, point is, you can't just export your / to your diskless nodes
and expect to get away with it. I think there's arguably a niche here
for a distro that you could download in one reasonably-big tar.gz, untar
somewhere convenient, export it, and be 99% done (some minimal setup per
client would still have to be done, although I have some script ideas
that would automate perhaps all of that rubbish). I'd like to include
support for MOSIX initially, but the concept could just as easily be
extended to cover starting up ssh-terminals or X-terminals or maybe
Beowulf nodes (though I must admit I know next to nothing about
Beowulf's node requirements).

Gentlemen:
There were a number of posts complaining about runsocks not working on RedHat 6.0
(coredumping on all programs). I've spent a while trying to get it to work, and it
seems to be related to a bug (?) in dlsym() when library symbol versioning is used
(default in 2.1.x glibc). Anyway, I'm sure this will get resolved in the later
versions of glibc, however if you want to run your apps on RH using runsocks in the
meanwhile, apply the following patch to your socks5-v1.0r9:

Subject: samba - minor? problem
Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 21:05:15 +0200
I have a Linux box connected to the Net and a W95 box connected to the
Linux box via Ethernet.
my Linux box shows up in Network N'hood on the W95 box but attempting to
access it returns
\\Linux is not available.
on the Linux box, I can use smbclient to access the W95 box and "browse"
it but smbmount says
\\kids host not found (kids is the name of the W95 box).
I can Telnet into the Linux box and use Lynx on the W95 box to access
the Net.
question1: I assume a basic error on my part with the smbmount problem
but after 2 days of messing about I am not progressing. Help please.
question2: I have posted the following question to the group before,
and having read ALL of the documentation which was recommended to me I
am no closer to a solution.
Quite simply, I wish to be able to access the Net in all its glory from
the W95 box as well as from the Linux box. I have read up on ipmasq,
squid, dns servers, ipfwadm etc and I simply don't understand the
relationship of all these programs as far as acheiving my requirement is
concerned. Spelling it out in words of 1 syllable may help.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Why many RX errors, 3c595?
Reply-To: mike - at - kleinnet.com
Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 17:14:02 GMT
I am running RH5.1 with kernel 2.0.36, on a system with 2 3c595 cards
using Donald Becker's 0.99H updated drivers. One of the 3c595
consistently reports many RX errors (see ifconfig output below).
eth0 serves a small home network. eth1 connects to an ADSL line. There
is a significant asymmetry between network bandwidths between data in
and out of the Linux box through eth0, and the bandwidth slowing going
into the box correlates with an increase in the reported RX errors.
This is the longest-standing problem with this system, that otherwise
has been a model of stability and reliability.
Turning on debugging in the driver shows that every RX error contains a
CRC error, with a small number of other types of additional errors
(frame, etc.). My suspicion is that once the CRC errors are solved, the
others will be also.
Debugging steps I have already tried:
- change network card. In fact, I have tried 3 3c595 cards!
All of them show the same problem.
- change IRQ from 10 to 9. No change. (Actually, I switched
the IRQ between eth0 and eth1. eth1 did not start getting
RX errors).
- reassign IRQ priorities using irqtune. No change.
- change hub connection and cable. No change. (I have
an 8-port Linksys 10baseT hub)
What could be the problem here, or the next debug step to try??? Any
help would be greatly appreciated! Data from ifconfig and boot log is
shown below (ethernet number is blanked out). If any add'l data would
be useful, please let me know.

Open the file in vi using the binary mode switch (-b) and see if you got ^M

Thanks for the hints.
The problem is that I wanted not to change neither default gateway on
local computers nor the gateway number. The gateway is administred by
someone else whom I don't want to bother in case of any problems with
firewall. For the same reason I don't want to change gateway numbers on
several computers if I chose option A. My authorities are not convinced
to the idea of firewall and will accept it only when I promise that in
case of any break-down the problem would be immediately solved by anyone
just by connecting cables.
It is possible to do it if the firewall pretends to be the gateway for
local network computers and local computers for the gateway. I suppose
that application of ARP protocol would be sufficient. The firewall would
respond as eth0 ethernet card number for ARP questions concerning
148.81.22.254 to local computers and as eth1 for ARP questions
concerning any other numbers on the gateway side of the network. Are
there any Linux applications that can do it?

Rafal

You should really avoid logging directly as root, specially if you use
telnet!
You can login as a normal user and then use 'su -' command to 'switch user'
to root.
If it's absolutely a must ( I don't see why ), then you can remove
/etc/securetty file or add network ttys to it (this file has a list of
terminal from which root is permitted to login).
Good luck!

Swapping over the network is not necessarily as slow as you might think.
After all, when you run an application off of an NFS served directory, the
application itself is swapped from the NFS server and that's not intolerably
slow, now, is it ?
If your network is fast enough, it's quite reasonable to swap over the network.
NFS is probably not ideal, but is the only standard way to do it.
Cost of harddisks is not the issue. Disks take up space, are
yet-another-point-of-failure, can be more costly than you think (IDE is out if
you care about swap performance, SCSI is too often not a standard component)
and most importantly, I want my PC to be *silent*: no fan, no disk, nothing.

create a user on your box
give that user permission to view a shared resource in the smb.conf
the person on the internet will have to add you machine IP and a name to
their HOSTS file may even have to login in to your domain.
could be tricky but it can work.
I connect to my ISP and then login to my domain which is a RH 6.0

Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 17:15:46 GMT
You have two types of things you can do.
1) Have a script that mounts these on start up, and they are statically
mounted the whole session of linux
2) (My choice) Use an automounter like "autofs", it will mount the share
whenever you access that directory, and it will unmount it after a set time
period. I like this because it the windows pc is not on when the linux box
starts up, it doesn't matter, it will only mount when needed.
You must find out the version of samba, and the version of autofs that you
are running, because samba has switched to a new syntax recently. Find
that out and contact me back. I am running RedHat6.0, but it should be
very similar.
And there are options for setting the exact permissions on the directories
you want.
If you are new, and unaware how to check versions, if you are using RPMS,
type "rpm -q samba" to find out the version.

thanks....i'll need it....ive had very limited experience with using
linux, even less with configuring it and no successful experiences
with networking under it (i tried to link my box to the college
network as i had in win95 (dualboot box) but with no success...i had
the linux drivers for my card (SN3200, realtek) but someone told me
the ne2000 standard drivers would do.....didn't work.....oh well, this
time im determined.....anyway yeah thanks...
