buy the $15 card and try it, if it works fine the n keep it.
if not return it and get a credit against the $98 card.

My cablemodem is working perfectly with Windows 98.
Now I installed Slack 4.0 with DHCPCD.
DHCPCD get the dhcp packet for me and configures Linux correctly.
However, it's not working. Ping fails on all IPs.
What am I missing here?
Thanks,

Other things to do:
1. Disable all networking protocols on the MS Windows side except
for TCP/IP.
2. Create a hosts file on the MS Windows side. Put this file in
the c:\windows directory. Make it the same as the one on the
Linux side. Make sure this file has the IP address, fully
qualified machine names, and machine names of all machines on
your network.
For example:
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX machinename.domain.com machinename
etc.
3. Make sure the hosts file on the Linux side is also set
up properly.
4. Make sure no demons on the Linux side are causing problems,
for example, sendmail checking for mail every 10 minutes or
so.
5. Make sure other programs, for example, netscape, are not
checking your pop account for email at predefined intervals.
Currently, I have a three machine network at home. I have a 486
running Linux, a MS Windows 95 machine, and a Sun Sparc running
Solaris. I have not modified the rules supplied with diald.
I am using diald 0.16.5.
Best of luck.

If I had to guess, it is probably Windows 98 doing a DNS lookup.
If you think it is Linux, see if there are any programs running
that might cause this. I don't know that much about squid, but
I thought it only cached pages to your local hard drive.
Try the tcpdump program and see if you can find out what is causing
your link to come up.
If you are using the demand dial function in pppd, I don't know
if you have much choice in controlling it. If you are using
diald, then you can mess around with the different rules on what
will and will not bring up your link.

I have my parents (SuSe 5.3) on free-online.co.uk, which is OK, but
AFAIK delivery by SMTP is a rare luxury that you only get with
techno-savvy ISP's like Demon. Free-Online's server claims to be ETRN
compliant but I never got it to work that way. I have set up for them
mail recovery using fetchmail, and demand dialling using diald, with a
cron job to fire off a mail collect in the wee hours every morning.
There is a "domain" name for mail receipt and web pages (their hosting)
only.
If you want the good service, IMHO demon is worth the 12 quid, but all
my aged ones wanted was email and a bit fo surfing.

None of these exist in the UK, in the form the poster refers to. He's in
the 51st state (Canada) which has US technology and even US phone
numbers. ;-) Phone technology over here is pretty primitive - in the
USA/Canada, a modem typically only connects at 28.8K or 33.6K beacuse
the phone lines are so rough. I bet his mobile phone sucks as much as
the AT&T one I've got to put up with. Come back Cellnet, all is
forgiven! I want my, I want my, I want my GSM....
But I digress.
I think a couple of the UK cable companies are looking into doing cable
"modems" - this is what he meant by "cable", and is basically an
ethernet-speed (very fast) 24hr connection carried down the same
circuits as Cable TV. This necessitates being in a big city. Cable TV
technology in the UK is a bit different (mostly fibre optic, here it's
mostly coax) so this may delay availability of suitable endpoint
equipment. I have a cable modem for which I pay the equivalent of 35
quid a month and it's pretty good value.
What most UK cable companies offer is a cheap deal on a second line on
their phone service, and ISP connections on cable numbers which dodge
(some of) the call fees. So it's still a 56K dialup.
ADSL is a variant of DSL, which runs on a HF carrier down the normal BT
copper phone line. I know BT were testing this in some wee village in
Yorkshire, but don't hold your breath. They were still trying to punt
ISDN for home use last time I heard.
The "wireless" here is some wierd stunt where you use a normal modem for
uplink, and use a microwave relay dish to receive a high speed downlink
stream. Haven't heard of anyone doing it in the UK.

Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Linux (red hat 6) and I'm having
problems when it comes to connecting to my isp (best.com) via ISDN with
an external 3Com impactIQ on com1 I keep getting: "pppd[2212]: PAP
authentication failed"
I wonder if any one can point me in the right direction. I've read web
pages, howto documents and other docs until the words blur together. I
kinda feel so close but yet so far from successfully connecting. I've
tried kppp and don't have any better success.

My two PC have the same RH6.0 with kernel 2.2.5, I recompiled the kernel
for enable some necessary options of masquerading and forwarding.
Two PC refer as A and B. Now A dial up to my ISP without any problems.
And the communication between A & B are also good, such as: ftp, telnet.
But when I try to setup machine A as gateway so that B can also use
Internet while I dial up from A, I failed.
IP of A is 192.168.0.1, B is 192.168.0.2. In B, the config file include:
" route add -default gw 192.168.0.1 metric 1"
In A, I include:
"ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0"
I use the same way under Kernel 2.2.1, and it worked! But now it doesn't
work under RH 6.0?
I feel so bad, almost back to NT. :--)
I may forget some points? Anybody could help me out??!!
