For serial ports, the devices are /dev/ttyS0 , /dev/ttyS1 , etc.
And, /dev/ttyS0 is equivalent to MSDOS COM1:

I'm using RedHat 5.1 on a server right now, and wonder how, if I run
this 'rdate' command when the server dials into its ISP to grab mail,
can I get the Windoze boxes on the network to set their time from the
Linux server?
In the past, I've used a Windoze utility called D4 but it's overkill
for what I need (I think).
Can I get Linux to broadcast the time on an SNTP port or something?
Thanks,

It all depends on wheather AutoDesk has registered ACAD as a trademark. You
notice that they do not use the word "AutoCAD". I do believe that they

Subject: Problem with dip dial-up
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 23:00:43 +0800
Hello, I am using dip to setup my dial-up networking to establish ppp
connection with the ISP in Redhat Linux 6.0, the modem is able to
intialize the call but it does nothing after that, i.e. dial tone with
the corresponding number and nothing happens after that. The modem in
the remote end of the computer does not seem to respond.
Owing to the answering machine that I subscribe to the telecom company,
I usually disable the detection of the dial tone in the Win 95 modem
configuration because my telephone does not give solid dial tone with
the telecom answering machine installed.
Does anybody know exactly what number I should have dialed to bypass the
dial tone detection machanism in Linux?
Thank you,

30Mbps is well below media capacity, even if you are using hubs with

This is a known problem in all stock Linux kernels. Get the knfsd
package from ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/support/hjl/knfsd/, or use
RedHat 6, which has this built in.

I bought the Network in a Box kit from Linksys (it was a 10 Mbps version)
a while ago and I was very pleased with it - the cards installed
flawlessly in linux and performance appears adequate (can't give you more
detailed info on performance). In fact, I was so happy with the ease of
installation, I have been buying Linksys cards since then (since then, I
have bought three 100 Mbps cards from them). I have never had any problems
with the linksys cards. I can recommend them.

Anecdotal evidence... We bought and installed a Network in a Box
solution; I believe it was Linksys, but it could have been D-Link.
These were PCI cards, 10/100Mbps. We set them up in Linux and
proceeded to test the throughput. I noticed immediately that
the box I was on (PII-333) felt incredibly sluggish. I fired up
'top' in a window and had my assistant log in via FTP and copy
the kernel source tarball (~18MB) to and from my box. Whenever
the network was being accessed (the tarball copied to and fro),
system load went from our average 0.04 to 3.0+ and CPU utilitization
jumped through the roof.
I took out the generic card and swapped in a 3Com Vortex we had
lying around, and we did the same experiment. System load stayed
at 0.04 and CPU utilization climbed only two percentage points.
YMMV, but we were less than impressed.
You can get a 4-port 100BaseT hub for ~$40, and Kingston cards
(DEC Tulip 2104x-series based; very good card) for ~$49. As for
the expense of 3Com... You get what you pay for.
Bear in mind, most of these generic cards are the PCI NE2000-compatibles
that Becker et al disparage openly:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html
Also, if you take a look at the chips on the cards, I'll wager most
are using Winbond chips. Winbond chips == exceedingly low end,
and they're *not worth your money.*
If you're going to do it, do it once and do it right. Spend a few
more pennies now to avoid scrapping your investment down the road
when you replace your hardware with stuff that actually performs
as advertised.

I try to download de 0.99.1 version and I have some problems to compile
it.
I edit and comment the first to lines in Makefile file and then I run

I have some compiler errors, mainly about netlink.h location. I was fix
it.

Date: 13 Jul 1999 20:23:56 +0200
I have a running workstation wich is NFS client and also server (SMP
Pentium II / 2.2.5 Kernel/ SuSE 6.0 Distribution). Normally everything
works well.
Sometimes, about every few days, I am not able to mount local files

This happens also with exported files, and also with files mounted via

When I reboot, this problem disappears frequently but it may appear
again rapidly.
When I have remote filesystems mounted via fstab or manually, there
are no problems with them. The problems thus seems to be with autofs.
This happens also with an No-SMP Kernel.
The problem seems to be much more frequent if various mount points,
local or remote, refer to the same filesystem, e.g.
auto.home:
orion orion:/mnt/homes
jork orion:/mnt/homes/jork
Have to mention that there is a NIS auto.master entry which refers to
a direct mount for some SUN clients. Could it be that this drives
Linux autofs crazy ?
auto.master:
/etc/auto.direct -hard,intr,nosuid,bg
I have been searching around now for two months and would appreciate
greatly any hints.
Exist there some resource for fixed bugs of the Linux Kernel or bugs
of software close to the Kernel ?

Subject: installing ipchains
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 17:49:50 GMT
i am trying to install ipchains in a 2.2.5 kernel. i've compiled the
kernel with CONFIG_FIREWALL=y and CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y. the file
/proc/net/ip_fwchains exists. however, when i try to invoke ipchains,
the bash shell says 'command not found'. there doesn't seem to be any
man pages for it either. is there a rpm package that i need to install?
thanks
patrick
