Hi,
Im trying to set my Linux machine up as an internal NTP time server. Im not
interested in absolute accuracy down to the pico second, I just want to
syncronise several UNIX machines to the same time. I have xntpd running on
RedHat 6.0, but when I try rdate from another machine I get connection
refused. The Linux machine has two IP addresses, as it in on two networks
I am happy to RTFM if someone can point me in the fright direction
Thanks
Alan

Subject: PPP Help
Date: 14 Sep 1999 06:00:35 PDT
I have been using Red Hat Linux, on and off, for a little while and
now have the need to connect to the internet. I am using RHL version
5. I have read the PPP HOWTO and verified that I have kernal support
for PPP. For the life of me I cannot get the modem to do anything. I
have an external Hayes Supra modem connected to cua1 (com2). I have no
problems dialing out using Seyon but I cannot get the modem to react
to the PPP and Chat script. I have tried netcfg, linuxconf and
manually editing the scripts, nothing seems to work. What am I doing
wrong? I have tried to launch the connection using the activate option
of netcfg and I have tried the ifup ppp0 option as well.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you cable modem service provider only gives you 1 IP, turning off
DHCP for the second NIC may help.
I have a setup where NIC 1 is connected to the cable modem and uses
DHCP. NIC 2 is my own private network with a privately assigned IP
address. See IP forwarding/IP masquerading for more information.

Ernest, your message to which I am `replying' is quite interesting: you
use the convention of replying before the quoted question and you don't
snip anything from the original text.
the net result looks like this:
<your reply to Dave>
||<Norman's text>
|<Dave's reply to Norman>
since <Norman's text> is quite long, the text to which you are referring
is not visible on my screen as I read your text.
this does not demonstrate that your style is worse than the what other
people here do, it only shows that if you adhere to a different style
than the one originally used is a bit like behaving as that employee at
the information desk of Frankfurt Central Station answering in German to
a question formulated in English. that is, it requires more effort on
the side of the listener/reader.
if we go on this way, you could get something with this structure:
7
|6
||||3
||||||1
|||||2
|||4
||5
I would prefer either
||||||1
|||||2
||||3
|||4
||5
|6
7
or the opposite one.
I don't know if you were # 2 in this thread, in that case you could
assert that you decided the direction to follow, i.e.: reply<-question,
but if you look at the other posts in these newsgroups, you see that all
others follow the `question->reply' style. Something like starting
speaking German in a place where everyone usually speaks English. You'd
been asking for flames, you got them!
however, I believe we're definitely going off topic, what about
following to news.newusers.questions?
Mario
p.s.: I'm not following the convention Q->R because I'm not really
replying to the original post, just appending it to my post as a sort of
appendix, and appendixes are at the bottom!

Reply-To: Adrian Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Can anybody point me to an example (in English, if possible) of linking
multiple sites using isdn4linux? Each site currently uses a private
class C address, and connects to the Internet using a dialup provider
and IP masquerading.
I think this will probably involve configuring interfaces isdn1...isdnX
with rawip, but examples are hard to find. I'd do some trial and error,
but there are distances of several miles between the machines and I
can't perform remote administration until I've got this working.

Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 16:02:24 +0100
Hey all, I'm away to install Suse on my machine (*again* :) since I would
like to use it as a router for my lan at home, I'm thinking about a way to
minimise online time and have come up with a strange solution which I
seriously doubt has been implemented, but thought I'd ask anyway :)
Since I'll be using a dial-up connection from my Linux box (and I pay per
minute for my phone calls here) does such a program exist that would
listen for activity from the modem (i.e. "ring ring" ;)
wait for disconnection
dial into my ISP
My phone line is there only for dialup, it's just if I'm round at a friends
house/work/whatever and need to get a file from one of my machines/drop a
file onto one, I'd like to be able to call home, let it ring once, wait a
few minutes then start up/downloading.
Any feedback would be nice, let me know if this has been done before or if
it can be done simply without resorting to code, I'm a Dos/Windows c++
programmer, and I'd like to play with linux a bit before I start writing
programs for it. If it doesn't exist, please let me know anyway and I guess
I'll sit and figure out the dark side of linux :)
Cheers,
Jado.

Yes, but usually the name server is a different machine from the
dial-up server. I believe there is an option for pppd to get it from
the isp, check the manuals.
Otherwise, you can just call and ask your ISP what the correct IP
address of the nameservers are.
Or, if you can get it to work under Win9x try running winipcfg, which
should tell you what the nameservers are.

Not exactly sure what problems u are facing. As for RH, the Linux side is
pretty much set up already. This is done when you first install the OS. If
not, try running 'netconf' or something similar.
As for the win95/NT machines, go to help and search for 'Networking->

Read your Cisco (not USWest) manual for the 675. All the things you need to do
to a 675... such as initiating a DOH (Digital Off Hook=Select) session... can be
done from the command line either through the serial port or through a Telnet
session to the 675.
You could easily do a script to take the place of the Commander connect button.
In fact, you could use perl and TCL to replace the Commander completely.

a) /usr/sbin/chat -v '' AT OK >/dev/ttyS1 </dev/ttyS1
should return in less than a second.
Look in /var/log/messages to see that the OK comes less than a second
after the AT was sent out.
Note Use the /dev/ttyS ports, not the cua ports. The cua ports are being
phased out ( and may already not work with the 2.2.x kernels).
b) setserial /dev/ttyS1
to see that the serial port is actually set up ( port irq uart)
