Check out
http://www.coinet.com/~griz/vgetty/index.html
where you can try 'vgetty' which is apparently a voice
answering machine for Linux if you have a voice-capable modem. You
can get mgetty to automatically fire off a number of things, including
PPP or, I'm sure, vgetty.
But the way you stated your problem - how can you get Linux to answer,
and then if you choose get your answering machine to answer - would
not be easy to do. Your answering machine counts rings and if the
rings stop, (because your computer modem picked up) it would never
answer.

Did you activate ip-forwarding at the gateway?
You can see it at /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. This file must have the
value 1.

First 'net-pf-1 sounds like a NIC driver module.
Sounds like you didn't:
1. Select your NIC in the Linux build instructions, or
2. You selected it as a module and didn't do a 'make module' or
3. You didn't do a 'make module_install'
The sequence should be: (with the 2.2.x kernels)
*make mrproper
*make menuconfig or make xconfig
*make clean ; make dep ; make
*make modules
*make modules_install
Hope this helps

===============================
I am running a home network (peer-to-peer) so that I can test my web
programming locally without having to tie up my phone line all the time.
But it's not working the way I would like.
1. In order to access the content on the Linux box without having
to dial up using the modem, I have to "Connect via LAN" in Windows -
Internet Options. But then I cannot dial out to the internet
when needed.
If it is set to "Connect via modem", it will access the Linux
content only after dialing the modem.
I would like it to only dial if going to the outside world (and I
would like to stop having to switch back and forth to do so).
I would like to leave the modem where it is in the Windows box if
at all possible, but if the behavior I want cannot be configured
this way, I will move it to the Linux box.
2. I can only edit files on the Linux box from the Windows box if I
have set their permissions to 777 first on the Linux box. I would
like to be able to edit them without having to do this first (or
could set the permissions from Windows).
Thanks for reading. If more info is needed, I will try to find out. I
didn't know what to include.

Sorry, but you're wrong, Dan. The 0.0.0.0/0 string is indeed correct. It
stands for "everywhere". The problem is that eelco is trying to target an
individual machine with the wrong mask. That is, instead of
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.2/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
(which translates as "masquerade the 192.168.1.2 network to anywhere" -
doesn't look right , does it?) try
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
(which translates as "masquerade the 192.168.1.0 network to anywhere"), or
else use
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.2/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0
(which translates as "masquerade the 192.168.1.2 machine to anywhere"). The
latter appears the line you want to use. The trailing numbers are
important. Use /24 for a network address, and /32 for a single machine's
address.
Have fun

Huh? The point was that it's not always opened by root which what was
you implied. As far as passing options as arguments to pppd goes I
don't see a problem since pppd can be configured to disallow the ones
that have the potential to cause harm if misused. And regarding .ppprc
my feeling is that it is futile to try to suppress information that is
available to anyone willing to read the pppd manual by simply not saying
anything about it. If you have a specific concern regarding .ppprc it
would be better to voice that concern so others can understand what you
see as posing a problem.

Only if Debian configures pppd for use in a special way. If the ones
using pppd are members of a group that includes the device file group then
they could open it (with rw group permissions). Or, perhaps, the pppd
privgroup option is used and they are members of that group. Users that
are not a member of the group will not be able to explicitly invoke pppd
without "other" read/write permission for the device file. Of course
if the only use for pppd is a single ISP connection then pppd can be run
with the demand option, in which case all the permissions of the device
file can be turned off - including those for root.

I've read your comments, but I'm not sure if my problem is similar.
The fact is that I've two different cards: a 3com 3c905x pci 100Mb and a
DEC etherworks 3 isa 10Mb. The 3com is connectet "outside" while the Dec
is for a local net. Well, the 3com goes well, all is ok, no problems
with nothing. The problem is that the Dec card doesn't go at all (even
if is configured well with ifconfig and route...). Moreover, the *same*
card in another pc with another card of the same kind... is ok! Well,
the kernels are different. Maybe to use two NICs on a pc you need some
tricks on the kernel??
Maybe your problem is of the same kind ? (need kernel cfg?).

Hi everyone. I was just curious what might be the best way to remotely
login to a Redhat 6.0 box from a Windows box. I know that telnetting in as
root is as bad as it gets for security. I need most of the permissions of
root for this account so I can have a lot of control over the linux system -
which is going to be without a monitor in a closet. Is there an alternative
to using telnet from a Windows box?
Many thanks,

I just purchased an Asante EtherPak ISA NE2000 compatible card, and I'm
having similar problems.
I've turned off the PnP and I set the irq to 5 and memory address to
0x320. I've also compiled the ne2000 driver into the kernel (I get
undefined symbols if I try to load it as a module). My problem is that
the card is found, and I can ifup/ifdown and ifconfig it. However, I
can't contact anything on the network. The params to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/resolv.conf are the
same as with my last card (Intel EtherExpress 10), which I got rid of
due to stability problems with its driver.
Other info: Both the network lights are on on my card, and my LAN modem
sees the machine. The card and config work fine under Windoze. No
problems can be seen from viewing /var/log/messages.
Suggestions?
