Usually cable modems are 'coded' to a particular MAC address of the
ethernet card.
Could this be the case?

I have a SMC EtherEZ 10 ISA but it is an older model and has the 1660
chipset, not the 8416 chipset. I've searched every networking page and
HOW-TO that i could find, the only lead that i could find says that i
need "smc-ez.c" for this chipset. Can anyone tell me otherwise or point
me to the driver file, i have been unable to find it. Any help would be

Alternatively, there's a asp2php converter somewhere.

Fraid not Andrew. I have vmware, and although it works great, I don't
think it's a suitable fix for this particular problem. Since DSL is a 24
hour connection to the net, I don't think using a virtual machine is a good
way of utilizing this connection, while maintaining the security Linux
users have come to enjoy.
My advice is to learn DHCP. I just got a DSL connection today, and have
gotten it working in WinNT. I will attempt to get it going in SuSE linux,
tommorrow, and will post my results if I succeed.
btw - vmware is pretty cool. If you're tired of the blue screen of death
and all the other usual Windoze problems, its a great solution!

Oh yeah. I have been trying to get my Mandrake box to work with @Home for

I am at the end of my patience with Linux. Hardware support sucks unless

I'm assuming that you are trying to connect to a NT ras server, if so you
need to recompile the pppd
give the following make options:
make CHAPMS=1 USE_CRYPT=1
this will allow you to connect using MSCHAP80.....

Better check if you have wu-ftpd installed ...
`rpm -q wu-ftpd'
If its installed run: rpm -V wu-ftpd to see what else might be
missing.
If it is installed but files are missing try reinstalling:
rpm -Uvh --force wu-ftpd*rpm

This is probably not what you wanted to hear.
Most distributions invoke in.ftpd (or in.wu-ftpd) via tcpd(8) ("TCP Wrappers")
which is called by inetd(8).
I found inetd(8) was unreliable, and TCP Wrappers redundant.
I replaced them with tcpserver(8) from D. J. Bernstein.
It's part of his "ucspi-tcp" package available from
http://pobox.com/~djb/ucspi-tcp.html
It comes with a little utility called tcprules(8) which compiles
a simple deny/access file into a format designed for fast runtime parsing.
It's well documented and it works.
If you can't make that inetd-tcpd contraption do what you want,
retire it.

No. All the distributions's pppd already have MSCHAP compiled in, but
that is not the users problem. His problem is that the remote system
does not say Login: but something else. So, where yousee ogin in the
script, put in assword: and then the terminal server password.
However I suspect that you were never supposed to get there but rather
end the chat script with
CONNECT '\d\c'
and then use pap or chap to finish.
