You need to get that printer on the network. The easiest thing to do would
be to physically plug it into Linux or Windows machine. Or you can get an
external jet direct card and put it on the network. Put an IP stack on the
printer, and then you can directly print to the printer. Save yourself the
headache and the money; just plug it into your Linux machine.

Yes, use the -W option with a device name (etho, eth1 etc...). For example:
ipfwadm -I -a accept -W eth1 -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
Some of the ISPs that I have researched use DHCP even with dedicated
accounts like DSL. There is usually a time limit in which the IP address
will be reassigned. It can be as short as 2 hours but most of the ones that
I have talked to use a 4 hour time limit.

Why do you need NT again?
I think you can make the following scenario work just fine:
Win95_1 <-->|
Win95_2 <-->| <--> Linux <--> cable modem
Win95_3 <-->|
Win95_x <-->|
WinNT <-->|
Were Linux box has two interfaces, one is connected to the private network
and another to the Internet via Cable modem.
All of your Win boxes (including NT) will need to have Linux box configured
as their default gateway. Or if you use MS-Proxy and don't want to
reconfigure Win95 workstations, you can still have them pointed to WinNT
box, and NT box point to Linux box. The same kind of deal with MS-Exchange.
You can also setup DNS server on Linux or use your ISP's DNS.

I put one in a new box I brought up with RH6 a couple of weeks ago. You need
an updated driver. The tulip driver shipped with RH6 worked fine with a
netgear card but not with the linksys.
You can find the source for the latest driver here:
http://www.bmen.tulane.edu/~siekas/tulip.html
You'll have to compile it with gcc. The compile command line is in the
source file at the end. The compiler was installed on RH6 by default with the
'server' installation option.

Since you can ping and telnet to the ISP server, you IP/PPP connection must
be just fine. Perhaps your DNS is not set up right. Can you ping with the
conical name, or do you have to specify the numeric address? You probably
don't have the DNS set up correctly.

Problem probably not with configuration of your systems. You need to
talk to whoever is doing your name service for the site that doesn't work.
Probably your ISP. It's a config problem in the nameserver, not on your
machines (unless you're running your own nameservers).
What are the domain names for the two offices ?

While I agree that a 486 can saturate a T1, your claim about ethernet and T1
being the same speed is incorrect. Ethernet is 10 megabits per second (about
1.2 megabytes per second), a T1 is 1.544 megabits per second (about 180
kilobytes per second). Not even close.

Network Associates and Sophos (and maybe others) make virus scanners
that run on Linux. Of course, most of the actual viruses being scanned
for attack Microsoft computers. But such a scanner may be useful if
you want to install something like AMaViS on your Linux mail server
(AMaViS is a set of scripts and programs that allow a Linux or other
Unix mail server to scan for viruses in the mail, assuming a suitable
virus scanning program is provided).

You can't just add +pap and hope that it works.

You can use a JetDirect box, which I highly recommend. I have also used
the Intel printer ports, but they, in my experience, are much too flaky.
Make sure your printer is *not* a Windows-only printer. I have NEVER
gotten one of those things to work except directly connected to a
computer. They don't work with Print Server boxes, they don't work with
parallel-to-USB converters, they are shaky when using on any passthru
device, etc.

I'd think the /proc filesystem would be ideal for what you are looking for.
see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/proc.txt
BTW, isn't it ironic that posts via searchlinux always come in CRLF format?
You'd think they'd change that If they wanted to be taken seriously.

Hi, all:
How can I get info from Kernel; and how can I set parameters to kernel. I
am on the project to modify Linux kernel (add some functions in linux
kernel). I want the functions can be trigger from user domain ( I can set
the parameters on the user domain and communictate with kernel, finally
these parameters will reach the functions in linux kernel). and then I want
to get the result(report) from kernel to user domain.
Is it possible? How?
Anyone can give me the hint or any pointer to study this kind of
user--kernel communication?
Thanks,
cwu
