I have a Linux box connected to a MediaOne cablemodem without any
problems. I can help you, but need to be more specific. Like, you
can ping what? IP addresses? host NAMES?

The modem to computer speed is unrelated to the modem to modem speed,
except that the modem to computer speed should be at least twice the
modem to modem rate (to take into account modem compression.)
The serial port speeds are 57600 and 115200

I would also suggest that you upgrade your distribution. Those old
distros have a large number of security holes if you are going to
connect to the net.

Yes, otherwise you would be able to bypass the restriction
on protected ports by opening a raw port and constructing
a low-port TCP or UDP packet to send through it.

Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 19:02:06 GMT
Hi all
I need a little help from you. Probably I have an old version of
pppd(version 2.2 patch level 0).
The doc. in HOWTO section of my distribution(Redhat) tells me to put 38400
as the connection speed and it works fine.
But I want it to connect at 56kbps( because my modem is 56K). I tried
putting in some other values but pppd puts message in the system log that
those speeds are not supported.
What value do I need to put as the baud rate in the ppp-on script in order
to get a 56k connection? And if that new speed is not supported where can I
get the new version of pppd? My kernel is 2.0.32.
Most interstingly is there any option (or whatever) which can tell me what
are the speeds supported by a pppd? Is there any linux command by which I
can check at what speed my modem is currently connected to my ISP?
By the way I am excited to have IP masquerding working in my small lan.
Naturally I am looking for more conn. speed now.
May be I am asking too much in a single post!
Thanks in advance.

Javascript keyboard events (OnKeyPress etc....) are not functionning at all

competing with Microsoft -- make sure all developers simply stop developing

chilisoft.com for ASP on apache
it will set you back $3000 though
I agree will bill weiss on PHP (php.net)
it's free, easier then ASP, can run on just about any OS, supports ODBC
it's just great
there is even a utitlity called asp2php, that can convert ASP to PHP (though

Subject: PPP Frame Errors
Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 16:35:36 -0400
I've been having trouble in situations where I am receiving large amounts of
data over my PPP link, it starts generating errors. I'm using a 3Com ISDN
TA connected to a high-speed serial card with a 16650V2 UART running at
230400bps. In general the connection works fine. Transferring small bits
(tens of kilobytes) of data in either direction always work flawlessly.
Sending large files using FTP or other means always works fine and with very
good throughput. However, trying to receive large files through any means
will eventually start causing errors on the ppp0 interface. I noticed this
at first with FTP when the hash mark printing would often pause and then
continue when downloading from a computer that is almost directly on the
other side of the PPP link. Eventually, the errors would cause FTP (or
copying over a SMB share) to freeze up. Here's some sample output from
ifconfig after trying to download a 570Mb file and aborting after it froze
after 4.8Mb (notice the 50 errors - I've seen it go higher than 300 on
occasion):
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:[my static IP addr] P-t-P:[remote IP addr]
Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:3908 errors:50 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:50
TX packets:2455 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
I doublechecked that the ISDN TA was configured for RTS/CTS flow control,
and everything looked fine there. I suspected maybe something was strange
with the high-speed serial card, so I tried plugging the TA into a standard
16550 port and setting the speed to 115200. Same thing. I tried lowering
the MTU/MRU from 1500 to something near 500, and that had no effect. I
never experienced this problem with my old 28.8 modem dialing up with PPP.
Any ideas at all as to what might be causing this? Thanks for any
suggestions.

The likely answer is that your network card is plug and play. Plug and play
is NOT supported under RH 6.0 for certain network cards, I strongly suspect
that yours is one, mine was. Use the software supplied with the card to set
the card up manually. This should remove the problem next boot.
