A 486 can, in principle, saturate a T1 line. (An ISA bus,
10Mbaud ethernet and T1 line all operate at around 1 megabyte per
second). However, you would have to look at the actual speed of each
link in the chain to see where your bottleneck will be.

Gee ... maybe the "defaultroute" option to ppp ????
on my system I tried man pppd and then grep'd through looking for default and
found:
defaultroute
Add a default route to the system routing tables,
using the peer as the gateway, when IPCP negotia-
tion is successfully completed. This entry is
removed when the PPP connection is broken
Now if you are using some gui tool to get this to work then you are on your
own. But using CLI this is the ticket.

And the war with the Beast has begun. And what better place than in the

And what is this really all about? It's about advancement of the human

barriers that those putting them up are seen in their full light, for the

128.110.75.80 needs to have in its routing table information on how to get to this
network. ie:
/sbin/route add -net 150.1.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 128.110.75.10
I would suggest static routes as opossed to default routes unless you realise that if
ppp is *ever* run from a system using a default route then this default route will
need to be removed before ppp is started up.
Hope this helps....

You need to set up a delivery agent (procmail). Try

You can also do a man sendmail and man procmail on most

Subject: DHCP <=> DNS
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 22:54:29 +1000
I am controlling a small lan with linux and windows machines. I have
configured each of the machines to obtain their network details from
DHCPd.
What method should i use so that each machine can find out each others
ip number dynamically using host names? (so i can ping, or use samba)
I think windows machines use netbios broadcasts to find the ip of the
machine in question. Linux does not have this natively. BIND is static
as far as i know and is therefore not useful for changing ips.
I have read the How-TO's and have not found a solution. I noticed that
DHCPd version 3 has dynamic dns functionality. This is still in beta
form however.
Am i totally confused or trying to do something impossible?
Any solutions, pointers or links would be greatly appreciated.

To detect a virus, the virus must be in a form from which it can
execute. No virus scanner can scan through all archive and encryption
mechnisms. Viruses almost never "exist" in transit, most of them are
compressed or encrypted. I my experience, most docs and program are sent
as .zip files.

I am dubious that scanning e-mail is a useful process.

Yes, MS Office viruses are the worst. The best solution is use another
word processing package. *In fact* the only people that have been hit
with any notable viruses lately are MS Office uses. A good argument for
Applix or Word Perfect.

Excuse me, but how do I set up my adsl in Linux? (I am using Redhat 6.0)
Have read all the HOWTOs but fail to get anything out of it.
Currently, I have a VIRATA card. But I could not find a single Linux driver
in the Internet. It's a PCI card. I've heard people who successfully set up
their ADSL but they were using 3com NICs. Btw, what NIC model are they using
to hook up to their ADSL modems? Also, does the 3com card work with my Adsl
modem? Mine is an alcatel 1000 adsl modem. Could anybody teach me how to
setup my adsl? Thank you.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone run into a similar situation like me:
I am using RH6.0 and is using kppp to dial in to my company's NT-RAS
server. It used to be very smooth until my company's RAS servers'
upgrade. I am not sure what or which version they upgraded. After that,
everytime I log in, I will get "authenticaton failed" messages logged
into my log and connection is losted. They are using CHAP.
I have heard that if the server is WIN2000 then it will happen like
this. It seems it only allow Win95 or WinNT to connect!!
Any idea? Please also send a copy to my mail box, thanks

I'm not very familiar with Novell networks, so this is something of a shot
in the dark, but Linux CAN be configured to serve as a Novell-style host.
If the Novell clients do what you want, then using them in conjunction
with a Linux server configured for IPX, NPX, etc., may be what you want.

Definitely. IP masquerading means that your internal network is totally
unreachable from the outside, at least directly and if you're not trying
out the new extensions to IP masquerading that let you set up internal
servers. Somebody could conceivably break into the masquerading router,
but that's at least easier to manage than an entire network.
> Problem is, masquerading breaks UDP and FTP within Netscape and IE.
Not on my system it doesn't. I just tried to be sure -- I ftp'ed a file
from sunsite.unc.edu using Netscape for MacOS, and it worked fine. I'm
running a 2.2.8 kernel with ipchains (Red Hat 6.0), using a PPP dialup
connection. It's possible that you just need to upgrade your IP
masquerading software; I know that the developers keep implementing new
protocols that get masqueraded correctly.
