that's a reach. It's no different than saying the Brits invented American
football because it is based on something like rugby and football (what
was the sequence: football -> rubgy -> american football?).
And yes, baseball is quite popular south of the border. It still seems to
be a sport of the Americas though.

You could use "expect" - a scripting language that is usually already
installed or easy to get. A really basic script could look something like
this (to automatically log on via telnet to some host). Of course you
could modify this for ftp use.
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn telnet <some account>
expect login:
send "<user name>\r"
expect Password
send "<password>\r"
interact
#EOF

Subject: Linux unable to ping HP JetDirect print server?
Date: 10 Jul 1999 18:04:32 GMT
I have been running Linux on my PC (actually a jaz
cartridge) for the last few weeks. I have been unable to
setup Linux to print to my HP 4000N printer which is
connected to my PC via an ethernet connection using a Asante
Ethernet hub. So my simple network consists of just my PC
and the HP printer.
I have setup all the configuration files, read all the HOWTO
documents, and reviewed all the help documents on the HP
website. All the settings have been checked on the HP4000N.
The printer functions perfectly under Win98.
The problem is my PC (running Linux) is unable to ping or
telnet to the HP JetDirect print server. HP documents
suggest I need to add the print server to the linux's
routing table using a route add command. Unfortunately, the
two version of the command I tried failed:
hp4000n pc
route add host 192.0.0.192 127.0.0.1 0
fails with: host:Host name lookup failure
and
route add 192.0.0.192 127.0.0.1
fails with: SIOCADDRT: No such device
If I try to print using lpr, linux is unable to locate the
IP address of the printer (192.0.0.192) on the network.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help,
John Chauvin

Adam,
If you're willing to try and write the Java code for our banner, go
right ahead. It needs to be a floating Java box, always in the
foreground, that cannot be stuck (i.e. when you change to another area
of your virtual desktop, it moves to alwyas stay on the visible screen).
Don't worry about it too much, though. I was just informed yesterday
that, after our MacOS port is finished later this year, work is going to
begin on the OS/2 and Linux versions. In fact, I was told that our
original release actually did run under Linux.
So, it looks like it's only a matter of time....

Any help tracking down whatever is sending this request to my ISP would
be greatly appreciated. This is with RH 5.2 dist 2.0.36 kernel, and
Diald 0.16.5a-2. I'm also running Masquerade and firewall. This
happens even with all the other boxes (Win 98, 95 and Linux) shut down

You don't have to compile the kernel. Just make sure the kernel module
for ip_masq is loaded and that you have enabled forwarding in the
network scripts at boot. You may also find it useful to use ip_masq_ftp
as well.
Good luck.
