This card is supposedly functional with the tulip driver, but so far
I can't get mine operational. It should be probed fine during
installation - perhaps I'm missing something in the PCI setup.

The peer cannot hear you. The peer is probably using very buggy
software. Try setting asyncmap to 0x000a0000 instead -- most of the
bad implementations get along better with that particular value.

Why not telnet to that printer's IP Address and program it to
an IP address that's on your network. HP printers are fairly
straightforward about that once you connect - just do a ?
and it'll tell you how to do that. 192.0.0.192 is usually just
the standard default ip address they assign to their Jet Direct
interfaces, both internal and external.

Hello all!
Do anyone knows how to get rid of 'show terminal window after connection is

possible to configure linux ppp server to use only windowz dialup

Tom,
You have a couple of options:
1) Enable root login privilages through telnet (not a very smart option)
2) Add a local tpennings user account on your Linux box. Then you can telnet
into it and then "su" to root if needed.
There are many X window servers available for Windows. I use a product
called "Xwin32" from www.starnet.com. I configure it to do a XDMCP query (X
Display Manager Control Protocol) to my Linux box which is running "xdm".
Xdm is the program that answers the XDMCP query. If you already have X
running on your Linux box, xdm is already running.
I believe there are many other X servers available for Windows (some free I
think).

Try VNC:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
it's absolutely great. I use it in the exact the same configuration as you want.
You will need the vncserver on the Linux box and the vncviewer on the NT box. It
acts as an X server and is perfectly transparent to windows: you have the KDE
screen (or whatever you like) on your windows screen. Also all keyboard and
mouse events are passed. You can have the server running all the time, if you
don't want to run into the basement to restart the server. However, it is
possible to configure the Linux box to allow root telnet sessions. This is a
security matter.

Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 14:16:48 +0200
I have two machines running under SuSE Linux 6.1 (kernel 2.2.7) and AIX
4.2.1. On the AIX-machine some file-systems are exported via
/etc/exports with the insecure option. The Linux box is able to mount
these file-systems correctly but the writing
performace is less than poor while reading is OK. In the Linux's logs I
find messages
like "nfs : task xxx can't get a request slot" or "nfs-server yyy is not
responding / nfs server yyy OK".
While the combination Linux 2.2.7 / AIX 4.2.1 is problematic, the same
physical connection between the Linux box and another with a 2.0.36
kernel and between AIX and 2.0.36 is OK.
Is there anyone who knows some reasons for this behaviour (not 42 ...).

Yes I've tried this. Its only effect was to alter
the connection speed, but transfer speed was still
a solid 1 Kbyte per second. I'm going to test if
the transmition speed is the same.
I'm also going to try to find a local BBS and see
if the issue is modem or PPP related.

Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 13:30:01 GMT
Hi,
I am testing IBM switch with only 2 PC connecting directly
to the ports. I am surprise to get only 1280KB/s when FTPing .
a big file between the PCs. I am expecting figure near
12.5MB/s (which is 100Mbps / 8 bits)
I still get the same throughput when I connect the 2 PC using
cross over cable. I am sure it is transmitting at 100Mbps
because the 100 LEDs is lighted.
Suspecting that the hard disk is the bottle neck, I created
RAM disk on both PCs. The ftp speed increase to 3700KB/s.
1.Can I go faster than this?
2.What are other bottlenecks?
The processor are Pentiun II 400Mhz.
The adapters are 3C905B TX
I ran this on NT4.0 and found that there is less than 3%
overhead in the netstat Interface statistics.
Thank you in advance.

I've got one of these and it works fine in Linux, with one caveat that's
common to Tulip clone NICs: You may need to update to the latest version
of the tulip.c driver file (and compile it into your kernel or as a
module). Check http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip-devel.html
for this driver file.

Login as a user and su to become root. You can use any
number of really good telnet clients; I personally use
TeraTerm Pro as a telnet client, and F-Secure's SSH
to do secure logins (encrypted) in conjunction with
sshd 1.2.27 running on the Linux box.
As for the X Window System, take a look at:

You have a number of solutions.
The simplest is to login as an ordinary user and then use su to gain root
privileges. You can then do your administration with that.
If it really is strictly ADMINISTRATION you want to do, you might look
into setting up linuxconf to accept HTTP logins. That way, you can use a
web browser on another system to administer the system. You'd specify
port 96 (I think -- maybe it's 98), as in "http://foo.bar.com:96" or (for
a small local network with no DNS) "http://192.168.1.1:96".
As for X programs, there are a number of commercial X servers for
Windows. One that's free but not very good (IMHO) is MiX from
Microimages (http://www.microimages.com/freestuf/mix/). Another that has
a 2-hour time-limited demo is X-Win32 from Starnet
(http://www.starnet.com/). X-Win32 is FAR better than MiX, in my
experience. There are others, but I don't have any names or URLs
offhand. Another option is to run a program called VNC
(http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html). VNC is *NOT* an X
server, but it accomplishes much the same task, at least for your
situation. It's much slower than an X server in my experience. In terms
of problems with software, I'd peg it in-between MiX and X-Win32.
I don't know if any of these support direct root login, since I've never
tried them that way. If they don't support it "out of the box," they
could probably be made to do so (as can telnet, BTW). IMHO, it's best NOT
to have that support, at least not on any machine that's connected to the
Internet, since it makes it that much easier for a cracker to gain
privileged access to your system.
