I'd just like to add I got one of the NetGear PCI 10/100T cards for $29 at
CompUSA... a DEAL! I've dealt with their tech support and they are competent
as well (in my experience). Because it's MUCH cheaper than 3com or Intel and
has been reliable I've been recommending this card left and right.
The installation papers only mention "other OS's see text files on floppy",
and I overlooked this the first time. They include instructions as a
readme.txt, and even include their own tulip.c file for the kernel... but
you DON'T need this and it could be older than what's in the latest kernel.
The card works great under Linux (sorry I forget the model# of my card), but
if you dual-boot... under Windows 98 you MAY need to set the card to run
with the 16-bit driver. I was a little disappointed about that, especially
since the 32-bit Windows driver worked fine before I rebuilt the system (and
it was Linux/Win95). Oh well, card still works...

Or, if you haven't got a t3 handy, and don't want to go up there and back
it all up: shut down all daemons you don't absolutely need, erase and
recompile all the others. Replace all suid executables... Possibly replace the
kernel. That should get you at least reasonably safe...
(Oh yes, one more thing: Change the passwords :-) )

Here's how it works:
(1) Browser requests a page through Junkbuster proxy,
(2) Junkbuster passes request to server through squid,
(3) Resulting HTML is passed back to browser,
(4) Browser parses HTML, sees inline <IMG>s and requests them through
junkbuster proxy
(5) Junkbuster recognizes them as ADs and does NOT pass them to squid,
passes "not found" or dummy content back to the browser instead
Voila, no ads coming down the pipe !
No ?

Have you tried the "idled" package:
Idled is a "demon" that runs on a machine to keep
an eye on current users. If users have been idle
for too long, or have been logged on for too long,
it will warn them and log them out appropriately.
Sounds like what you're looking for...

Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 20:05:36 -0500
hi
im new at this linux stuff.
but here is my problem
i got a SN3200CT network card (some web sites say its a D Link but who
knows). i got linux slackware 4.0. and i got drivers for this network card
for LINUX 1.2.13 or whatever. now i follow the directions to tar it and do a
makeconfig and say (Y)es for network settings blah blah blah . but my card
does not come up. could this be because i have a new kernel.
here is the full directions i have tell me what to do please
INSTALL
-------
1. Login as root user. Using the cp command to copy the "lin8029.tar"
files from the drivers' diskette into the Linux directory.
# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/linux/lin8029.tar /
2. Extract drivers from the "lin8029.tar" file.
# cd /
# tar -xvf lin8029.tar
3. To include networking and SN-3200 support in your kernel:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make config (answer yes on CONFIG_NET and CONFIG_INET and Realtek)
a. "Network device support?" ------> y
b. When system prompts "Realtek cards?", answer 'y'.
c. Then answer 'y' to the "RTL8029 support" item.
# make clean
# make depend
# make zlilo (or whatever magic you usually do)
4. Do "sync" and reboot the new kernel with a SN-3200 adapter
connected.

What kind of modem are you using?
I had the same problem with my US Robotics voice ext. My init string
was ATZ and my modem was no longer using the hardware flow control
default setting in the modem.
I changed it to AT&F1 which loaded the hardware flow control default
setting.
That enabled compression AND error-control both of which were previously
disabled. My previous connection message was CONNECT 50666/ARQ. Using
AT&F1, it became that plus compression and error-control.
Apparently, if error-control was not enabled, the Kppp program reads
garbage from the ISP so it can't connect with your username and password
but it starts the pppd daemon anyway which will eventually die due to
ppp not being enabled on the ISP for your connection.
I don't know what your modem is but I hope this will help you to
understand whats going on and help to set up your Kppp correctly. If
your serial port chip is a UART 16550 then you can use 57,600 or 115,200
baud. Remember to is hardware flow control (not Xon/Xoff).

Subject: Building a Digital modem box with Linux ?
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 10:43:57 +1000
A company in australia is offering a linux box with a 56K digital modem
service. Thats dial in at 56K , not just dial out at 56K.
I have been hunting about to find what cards they would be using. Has
anyone had any experience with making a box like this?
DIGI have a seris of cards called "Datafire RAS" that look like it
would do the trick if it had linux support.
The cards only cost $9999US for a 48 ports which is about what we pay
for a 16 port Ascend upgrade card here in Australia , so the benfits
would be amazing. As well as integrating the proxy etc directly into the
one box.

I was wondering if you could setup a linux machine to listen on an
ethernet card without ever transmitting data on that connection, that is
if I cut the transmit wire(s) in the RJ45 cable, you could still receive
packets over that card.
I hope some of this makes sense.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 02:06:03 GMT
I have searched for a long time and spent months tinkering and I have
just solved this problem for myself. I thought I would post the
results so that someone else may try this to resolve their problems.
(I tried all the suggestions I could find from Usenet searches with no
luck.)
As you might guess it was my own fault.
A quick recap ... I am using 2 very cheap ISA NE2000 clone cards and a
cheap un-managed hub in 486DX4-100 PC's.
The problem is that I also used a cheap coil of untwisted pair (8
conductor) wire to run the cable between the 2 computers and the hub
was located at the firewall pc ... not halfway between. The end
result was that I didn't monitor the length of the line that I ran
carefully enough. Anticipating that I may want to move the kids
computer I coiled up an extra length behind the wall "for later use".
The over all length was very close to 100 feet. Out of desperation I
shortened the cable to about 50 feet. I am now getting reliable 4K+
Byte-per-second transfer rates on 10+Meg files. (Before it wouldn't
work at all.) (The maximum theoretical for 10BaseT is about 1250K
Bytes-per-Second.)
I hope this helps out someone else in a similar predicament.

You don't need samba for this. You just need to make sure that the nfs deamon
is running on the server machine.
If you're running RedHat, then you must go into /etc/rc.d/init.d and type ./nfs
start.
If this doesn't work, your machine is broke.

Hi, does anyone know how get this setting works ?
==================================================================================================
# CacheNegotiatedDocs: By default, Apache sends Pragma: no-cache with
each
# document that was negotiated on the basis of content. This asks proxy
# servers not to cache the document. Uncommenting the following line
disables
# this behavior, and proxies will be allowed to cache the documents.

Hello Ed.
If I recall right it's a 10/100 MHz card, 3C595. I don't have it here,
it at the University, and I'll check it next week. I'm quite sure this
is the one though. And it's still up without problems after some
4-5 days now. So I guess the problem is solved.
I don't really like the solution of swapping boards and not knowing
the real motive of the problem. Strange no suggestions have been made
for a solution to this problem...

Well, yes... after you write it ;) Seriously, though, that is what the
'cron' daemon is for. Not _just_ checking email, mind you, but scheduling
just about anything to happen on a regular basis. I would suggest try
using 'fetchmail', written by Eric Raymond. Once you have it properly
configured, and dial-on-demand as well, just set up a cron script to run
every 10 minutes and it should automagically dial out, get your mail, and
disconnect. YMMV
