Use the ALSA drivers:

http://www.alsa-project.org

worked for me and it's free (and better); a bit hard to setup for a newbie
perhaps. Cracking is stealing; the author of a piece of software has every
right to ask money for it and you have the right to not use it.

I hope this helps,

First sign on as root, then bring up terminal if you are in Xwindows

Change your directory from root to proc by typing, cd /proc

Then type, cat pci

This will give you a listing of the location of all your PCI devices, I
assume your ISDN card is a PCI card

 
When you find you ISDN modem, take note of the irq and the "FIRST" I/O
listing (something like I/O at 0xb800)

Then type, setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0xb800 irq 5

The irq and port (I/O) will be the ones on your computer

Now test it and see if it works,

If it works, email me back and i'll tell you how to set it up so it
boots up when you turn on your computer.

If it doesn't work, you can always get an external modem, connect it to
com 1 and the rest is easy

First, several questions:

What version of Red Hat are you using?
Did you do a fresh install or upgrade?
Are you using Linux straight off the distribution CD or have you
upgraded anything?
What kind of system(s) are you telnetting in from?
Can you try others?
What happened when you took out/changed the issue.net file?
  (if you haven't, try it and see what happens)
When you are telnetting in, what happens at the console?
  (i.e. system load, response time, etc.)

With that information, I'm sure we can sneak up on some kind of
solution.

Have you set up the "suid" permissions on ifup?  Only the root ID can do
some of the things associated with making a PPP connection.  I forget
the syntax off the top of my head (no linux at work) but you should be
able to "man chmod" to get the appropriate syntax to do what you want to
do.

The two cards are probably conflicting with each other.  The 905 should
be a PNP card.  Try one of three things:

1.  Set up your BIOS to configure them
2.  Set them up with the Linux PNP configuration utilities
3.  Use the 3Com utility under windoze to take at least one of them out
of PNP mode and set the I/O address and IRQ manually.

Personally, I would try option 3, as a "hard coded" IRQ and I/O address
is easier to work with.

For RedHat, there is an option in netcfg to allow mortals to bring up
and down an interface. It adds the line "USERCTL=yes" to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*. I don't know if it does anything
else.

Hello,

I found out in the termcap file that a terminal answerback may be set
using the u8 or u9 field within the termcap definition file.  I'm not
having too much luck getting the answerback to change, and the file
itself didn'f offer an example syntax.

Does someone out there have a termcap file that has a defined
answerback, and if so, advise the group?  I have a feeling it is a
simple control character, but am not versed enough to know for sure.

Thanks!

My experience with the proprietary OSS drivers has also led me to use rm -rf,
but only on the downloaded materials rather than the whole filesystem.

The first thing that their binary-only piece of digital trash did was promptly
lock up my kernel as soon as I opened the device. If I'm going to pay for
garbage, I might as well install Windows and use the drivers that came with the
sound card.

I tried the 4Front technologies driver for my sound card. It locked up my
kernel hard so I never looked back at the crap again. That is just lousy
programming.

I wish that a hole in the ground would open up and swallow up these guys.  Not
only do their drivers suck, but they are also getting in the way of free sound
development by getting into bed with manufacturers who then don't want to
release specs.

I agree with you about the public network part. Hopefully some of the people with
this same question will read this and maybe not repeat this question sooooo much.
I've seen it here so many times.
I used samba-2.0.3 because linneighborhood doesn't like the newer versions.

It is perhaps unethical, but I don't see why not. The consumers should use their
power and boycott the manufacturers that don't release hw specs. Too bad

Hi;

What type of 3Com card is it? Have you looked at the Linux Ethernet HOWTO
(at http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html)? What type 
of NIC did Windows report? Is it an ISA or PCI card?

I think you need to talk to your ISP.  Their PPP appears to be configured
to only accept the request for a dynamic IP address.  The 0.0.0.0 is
the standard way of asking the peer to supply your IP address for the
PPP connection but most PPP implementations can be configured to let you
provide the address.  There may be a problem since I'm doubtful that a
connection that supplies dynamic addresses would allow a user to choose
which address to use.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a FTP proxy server supported by Linux.
I read that pftpd freeware could be fine but I don't know where I can
dowload it !

May anybody help me to find it ?
Tanks a lot.

Subject: Multi homed Linux as router between MS domains
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 12:17:39 +0100

Hi all

My company has two subnets, 192.168.20.0  and 192.168.10.0 .
Each of them is a Win NT domain. Both servers at each segment are multihomed
and are serving as gateways. Because of the way MS networking works, each
subnet can't see the other, only the other subnet's server, and even then
it's really slow.

For this reason, I thought of putting Red Hat Linux 5.2 with 2 NICs to serve
as a router between the segments.
All went well, except for when I tried to browse the network. Although I can
ping both subnets from the Linux box, and ping any host from any other
subnet from any machine, the MS browsing thing isn't happenning.  Now I
can't see any machine across subnets...

Since ping is working, I suppose the gateways were correctly configured.
It almost feels like the Netbios packet is being striped when it passes
through the Linux box.

Am I missing something ???
Samba was automatically installed. Could it interfere ?

Any help is most welcome !!!

Thanks in advance
Nuno

I wonder if some kind person could help me with a small problem I am
having trying to add a v90 modem init string (usr courier ext) to my
ppp-on-dialer script in RH6.
This is what I have so far:-

!/bin/sh

exec chat -v                                                    \
        TIMEOUT         3                                       \
        ABORT           '\nBUSY\r'                              \
        ABORT           '\nNO ANSWER\r'                         \
        ABORT           '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r'            \
        ''               \rAT                                   \
        'OK-+++\c-OK'   ATH0                                    \
        TIMEOUT         30                                      \
        OK              ATDT$TELEPHONE                          \
        CONNECT         ''                                      \
        ogin:--ogin:    *********                               \
        assword:        ********

When I replace the 5th line with the v90 init string
         ''            \rAT&F&B1&A3E0Q0V1&C1&D2S0=0             \
nothing works. 
I am a complete Linux newbie and after setting up samba and struggling
with ip masquerading this is a real pain in the butt. :)

TIA

You might have to download/compile/install the driver for this card. It
looks like Donald Becker has deveolped a  specific driver for the 905C.
Check out this site.
