Are you using the 'old' compuserve network or the new Compuserve-2000?
'old' compuserve:
I'm using it right now, so the answer is yes. There used to be some
files in the UNIXFORUM (search on PPP) which were a help. Also,
check the Netscape Users forum ( I forget the exact name) for some
information on setting up mail. It's been a while since I last
actually used compuserve except to connect to the internet/Web and
recieve mail, so I don't know what exactly is there. Also, since
recent changes to the mail system, some of this information may
not be up to date.
You say you have searched the newsgroups. Did you use dejanews
(dejaview?) or some other news archive? I know for certain that this
question has been answered before.
Compuserve 2000:
From the last time I looked at the specs, I believe that this option
is one that is 'not yet offered'. In my opinon, this service looks
an awful lot like AOL.

Ok my 2 cents worth......
Your problem to me sounds like is based on the on demand dialing from
windows , you can turn this of in your internet properties in your control
panel.
This should take care of the dialer kicking in first....by the way the
reason why it will try the modem connection first is because Windows has the
dial interface always listed first as a NIC and if you disable your auto
dial it will automaticly look for a alternative route ...Your NIC.
I know this will fix your problem.
I have a analog and an ISDN modem in my PC and an ethernet lan with an
internet router on it and if you just deselect that option your problem
should be fixed !
hope it helps if not send me an email and I will see what i can come up
with.

Reid,
You have to set up your interface on your linux box to use DHCP just like
your Win95 does.
once set up, you can see the settings with ifconfig. Read the man pages
for dhcpcd.

Well if you believe the doc with RedHat 6.0 the 2.0 kernels record diagnostic
info. in pseudo-files in /proc. 1 is called cpuinfo which contains specific
info on the chip your machine has in it and 1 is called interrupts which lists
all of the current IRQ lines in use.
Hope this helps

$20 is nothing. you're getting a whole o/s, a windowing system, etc,

Using it as an X terminal should be trivial. It sounds like that's not
what you want to do though. I've never messed with the X terminal
version of the th classic, so some of this is from ignorance. Can you
put a local disk on it? That sounds more like what you're wanting to
do. Then you install a minimal Linux with X.

require my users to use a password. My problem is in my firewall. I'm
using ipchains for the firewall but I'm not sure about the

Subject: IP Forwarding - What happens without it?
Hi,
I am having this setup of a PC with a Ethernet card for the LAN network. And at
regular interval, this machine will connect up to my ISP using an external
modem.
Does this means that I must include ip forwarding in my kernel? Can anyone tell
me what happens if this is not done? Will the speed of either networks get
affected?
THanx for any feedback :-)

I'd change the UserDir from "public_html" to "/data/home/*/public_html" in

I got it to work by typing in (as root):
cd /
rm -rf *
After that I didn't have any problems with OSS/Linux asking me to register it.
I think that it removes the nagware config file or something.

My system(s) consist of the following:
Win98 SE box connected to cable modem through 1 3Com ethernet card
(works fine)
CNet-120(b) installed for LAN connectivity
Running Internet Connection Sharing as a NAT
Linux box connected to former through CNet-120(b) (MX98715) eth0
Redhat 6.0, pump 0.7.0 installed
When I ping from the Linux box, I get good transmit packets to the Win98
box, and the Win98 box appears to receive (at least I get traffic lights on
both cards). ifconfig on the Linux box shows the good xmit packets, but 0
for receive.
When I ping from the Win98 box, I get Response Timeout messages, and no
traffic lights on either card.
I have also tried hooking up the cable modem directly to the Linux box,
but I get basically the same response. This same box *was* running Win98 SE
as well, which connected fine through both ICS and directly.
HELP! Please!!
