It's been seen many times although usually there are only 10 LCP
messages before pppd gives up. Extending the timeout doesn't do
anything to help. Something's very likely wrong with the chat script.
Post the chat script and the chat -v messages from the log file, look
for them in the log files defined in /etc/syslog.conf .
:
: The chat script doesn't seem to complete, because I see this:
: /usr/sbin/pppd connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -r /etc/ppp/report
Huh? This is a command involking pppd, where do you see this? Even as
a command it's broken - the chat command is being specified by the
connect statement and needs to be inclosed in ``s or ""s.
:
: The ppp0 interface never gets brought up.
That's believable.

You have chat -v, look for the chat messages log. It will be one of the

One thing might be that you have upgraded to a 2.2.x series kernel and
not read the linux/Documentation/Changes file in the kernel source tree.
In that case I'd suggest reading it. If it isn't the case then I've
no suggestions to offer.

Hello There,
I'd like to know if anyone could give me some hints on how to use
file locking through NFS with Linux. I was testing file locking with
two SCO's as clients on a Netappliance file server and everything went
alright. But with two Linux or one SCO and a Linux as clients, the lock
just isnt enforced. I tried flock, lockf and fcntl, and none seem to
work. Any help will be appreciated. Im using kernel 2.2.10.

I have been a user of Geoworks/New Deal for 8 years. I have been using the
New Deal 2.5 version for about 2 years and just downloaded the Release 3.0 45
day sample version last week. Anyone looking for an alternative to Windows or
that has a computer kicking around that can't run the latest version of Windows
needs to download this test version and take it for a spin.
(www.newdealinc.com) It will shock you that you can get so much for so
little. New Deal offers a Windows like interface that will have you or your
family up and running in minutes. Plus with a fully integrated suite of
applications, (Imagine, an OS that comes with a usable suite of applications
included!) it just makes it a must have for anyone. Does it do everything
Windows does?? No, but it does do most of the basic tasks that any computer
user needs. Download the trial version, take it for a drive, and I will bet you
will come away amazed at just what it can do.

It cost you nothing to try it out... So try it now.

I'm no expert in Java - especially state-of-the-art java compilers - but
my thought would be that it is the much higher percentage of non-local
variables that would cause the greatest performance hit in Java.
For local variables, of course, there is no delete or garbage collection
required. I'd be curious to learn about whether Java compilers are able
to transform a lot of stuff to local variables behind the scenes.
If they can do that, then I would think that they could use explicit
allocation and deallocation as well.

Like most performance discussions, a lot probably depends on context.
Part of the relevant context would probably include program(mer) style.
Even such a simple thing as freeing dynamic storage in the reverse order
from allocation might turn out to be play a decisive role in the
comparison.

you have someone swinging a bat.
You have someone throwing a ball, on the opposite team.
peson swings the bat, and hits the ball. person then has to run around
four posts in the ground. (sounds familiar?)
the BIG difference, if I remember correctly, is that the person at bat, has
to run around ALL FOUR AT ONCE, to score a point.
rounders is thus playable in a smaller field, because the posts are a little
closer together.
But the all-four rule makes it difficult in even a friendly game to score a
point. Unlike baseball, where in an average non-pro game, you have a lot more
runs.

Every 4th person in Belarus was killed. Does 'lebensraum' ring
any bells? The Germans were actively persuing it. If anyone has
any motivation to grouse about being left out to dry it's the
Russians, NOT the French or English.

I think you will have to re-compile the kernel, not "edit" it.
Basically, you should have the kernel sources in /usr/src/linux .
You say "make menuconfig" or "make config" or "make xconfig"
and answer the questions that you will be asked,
some of which concern masquerading.
Then say something like
"make def; make clean; make bzImage; make modules; make install; make modules_install"
(You can get the most recent kernel from http://www.kernel.org ,
or at least find out where to get it.
If you are going to re-compile,
it might be as well to use the latest kernel,
though you might find you need to update other programs,
as described in Documentation/CHANGES in the kernel sources.)

Reset your modem before dial (ATD) via appropriate set of AT commands.
Take a look at modem init string used by minicom or
other software for direct modem access.

Subject: Can I "trick" WebPhone modem to use ADSL connection?
Date: 8 Jul 1999 20:30:54 GMT
I'm a hardware newbie, so I'm not sure this is possible, but:
I have a Cidco "WebPhone" that I'd like to trick into using its internal
modem to connect thu my Linux box via an existing ADSL connection. That
is, instead of having the WebPhone dial out using the phone line, I'd like
to trick it to connect directly (to save the dial-up/connect time delay and
avoid tying up my single POTS line). I assume the solution will involve
linking the WebPhone modem to a modem in the linux box (via phone line,
possibly thru some kind of electronics to fake the dial tone/DTMF stuff).
Any chance in heck that this will work? Anybody hacked something together
in a lab somewhere that will allow this?

I'm trying to set up the card for use with my cable modem.
The connection between the card and the cable modem is working and
I use the tulip driver for the card as included in my RH6.0.
I have the eth0 interface set up in netcfg and selected DHCP.
Can't get online though, do you know what else has to be done in
order to get things working? I'm using Stj�rnTV cable provider and
according to them it's possible to get it working with Linux.
Do I have to download dhcpcd in order to get it working?
What does ifconfig have to do with this, why do I not have it on my
system?
This is the output I get from dmesg | grep eth0:
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0x9100, 00 a0 52 9a 50, IRQ 11.
eth0: MII transceiver found at MDIO address 1, config 3000 status
7829
eth0: Advertising 01e1 on PHY 1, previously advertising 01e1
eth0: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 816e0000
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Ben,
I am told (and I found out) that choosing the third part of your network
address with a 0 is not a good idea. I forgot the reason, but since I did
choose a different number there, it worked ok... Also in the (mini)Howto's
I found a lot of usefull information...

Subject: Linux VS: Win 98 and a proxy server
Date: Thu, 8 Jul 1999 13:09:20 -0700
what is the difference that linux can do that Win NT or Win 98 and a proxy
server like SyGate? I have a Win 98 2 computer network and want to dial both
of them to my internet provider. I have read that I can do that with a Proxy
Server like SyGate or use Linux or Win NT to do it. I can't afford Win NT
but want a system that will help me out in my future job prospects. (I'm
going to school at them moment) Any Advice is appreatchited Thanks Adam
