I've been running Linux for a few weeks and doing a lot of reading.
There are a few questions I can't find answers to. I thought I'd save
them up and ask a few at once.
* Is there a way to speed up the timing on TCP/IP frames? For example, I
can watch an SMTP exchange between my system and another host. His
system sends a frame with a block of text, my system sends an ACK
frame. If his system misses this ACK, everything stops. I never see my
system try to send the ACK again. Is there a timer I can fiddle with?
After a few minutes his system finally sends RST and we have to start
over again.
* Can I delete the "message.log" file from time to time or do I need to
prune it with some program? Mine is getting close to 2m in size.
* How can I stop the annoying "mail beep" my speaker emits with each
incoming mail while I'm in X. I no longer get this while using the
standard VT after I found how to change the bash shell variables but
while running fvwm95 I still get a beep. I'm on a few fairly active
lists and this is getting old :)
