Subject: USB Modems and LINUX?
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 12:25:06 GMT
Howdy,
I saw Diamond's SupraExpress 56k modem suggested
as one of the best externals for Linux so I
went out and bought one. However, I got a USB one
instead of a serial port one and I have not
found any literature on USB compatibility with
Linux.
Does anyone know if USB modems are compatible with
LINUX and where else I might go for
information on USB and LINUX?
Thanks,
Rene

We recently setup a Linux box running Redhat. We have FTP sites our
users can access via any FTP client suchas Voyager however we have not
been able to figure out how to provide access to the FTP accounts via a
web page.
For instance, it would be nice to be able to log onto the web page and
select the correct user account - type in the user ID and password and
then gain access to the directory and files, to be able to
download/upload the same way you do when you download software from an
Internet site. Any help would be very much approeciated. Thank you.
Any help would be very much

the file is included in the kernel source... do a "make modules && make

just type ftp://ftp.server.com in your web-browser...
or ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] to log in with username. if
you want a REAL web interface for your FTP, maybe you have to code it
yourself...

As redhat has chosen not to provide diald with redhat linux there
is little chance the Redhat company will answer any diald questions.
There is, or used to be, a diald rpm package available on
ftp://contrib.redhat.com and its mirrors. Same place a diald
configuration package.

none, coz i'ts not possible... at least not with the nt-proxy server.
for you, the solution would be NAT, which is (imho) not implemented in
NT 4... but... kick the nt-machine and put a linux router on, it will do
NAT (via ip-masquerading) for your whole subnet, and almost every
service...
hope this helps...

Unless the task involved is simple it is difficult to have "simple"
documentation, without it also being *incomplete*.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
==============0ED2B55678B21406BBCAB2B1
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I wote a GUI based FTP client application in Java1.2. Works fine in
Windows 95/98 but has problems when it runs on Unix/Linux. Java has a
built method to return the IP address of the local host. In Win 95/98
this works fine but in Linux (not networked -- using a PPP connection
with a dynamically assigned IP address) or on my school Unix acount
this method returns 127.0.0.1 . In order to retreive files from a FTP
server I have send a PORT command that includes the IP address to get to
my machine from the outside world. I can get this on Linux (logged in
as root) by running ifconfig ppp0 and doing the appropriate string
parsing. I know there must be some better way i.e more general to get
the local IPAddress. I can't find any way to do this on my Unix account
because I don't have root privledges. Netscape and other programs seem
to be to able to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Presumably "ifup ppp0" is something RedHat provide for configuring
a ppp interface. You need to use diald scripts with diald. See the
documentation and examples that come with diald. Or ask RedHat
what to do.

That is due to the way a proxy is working. It does not transparently
translate your datagrams to another IP address. What you needed in
this case was a program like NAT32 (http://www.nat32.com/index.htm).
Whan using a proxy, you will _not_ be able to ping, telnet or ftp to
hosts outside your LAN unless the proxy program supports that. Most
proxies require special application setup or commands. Refer to the
manual that came with the proxy for details.
>I can't connect to Seti@home or RC5Des servers....I get "network
>unreachable" in Seti@home and "unable to resolve..." in RC5.
In SETI@home you should be able to set up a connection using your
proxy. With programs that do not have such a feature you are a little
bit out of luck. Sometimes the proxy program supports mapping or
bridging for special TCP/IP ports but then you are only able to
connect to one certain host outside the LAN.
If you want to avoid fiddling around with the proxy settings either
use something like NAT32 on the Windows box or the Linux box as
Internet gateway itself.
Cheers
Gerd

Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 13:10:58 GMT
I've got RedHat 6.0 that I'm setting up on my
computer with a 3c509 card connecting to a cable
modem. My problem is that I can't get the card
to receive data. I can tell that it is sending
OK because if I try to ping a remote address I
can see the lights flashing on the cable modem
for both send and receive but Linux shows 100%
packet loss. Can anyone offer a suggestion? If
so please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(remove the NO_SPAM) because I don't have easy
access to a good usenet server.
Thanks.

Agreed, however one of the drawbacks that I have been running into with
Linux is that documentation is often incomplete. i.e. going to 5 or 6
different sources to get enough information to setup Samba. Now, don't get
me wrong, I'm fairly impressed with the o/s and, as a lotus notes shop, we
may well be using it in the near future, depending on how the winds blow at
IBM. We will always be NetWare shop as our primary NOS, but I'm always
willing to learn, integrate & support anything that makes our environment
more dynamic for our users.
Of course, since NT documentation amounts to using a Ouija board and a
Scrabble set, I should be used to this sort of thing by now.

Same here in Europe. We (Belgium) supposed to have 'the best level of education
in the world'. This was stated by English, French en American research teams.
Meanwhile, they are 'reforming our education system'. And i can tell you, it
looks like crap. Did you know they want to cancel history ? And geografy ?

A host on the _outside_ NIC can ping the _inside_ network, ie. a IP# in the
192.168.x.x range??? That sounds fishy as normally the packets in the
192.168.x.x range aren't allowed to leave via the outside NIC, unless
they are masqueraded...

ifconfig and network config look okay as far as I can see...

We need more than this to guess what's happening. Add the pppd debug
