Hans,
With it having a WINBOND chip set, and it also being a PCI ISDN card, it
would lead me to believe that it Windows based treminal adapter. I
recommed getting an external model like a 3Com/USR Courier I-modem or a
Multi-Tech MultiModemISDN.
Best of luck -- Hope this helps.

The problem is that I can not get Redhat to boot except if I use an
older Resuce Disk or run the Install disk for 6.2. The later does not
allow access to the conf.modules file.
I have since uprgaded the kernel and was wondering how do I get to the
point where I can go into su mode. I have determined that the driver
needed is tje NCR53C8XX or SYM53c8XX

I maintain a debian linux system (potato) which has apache (1.3) and
php4
enabled. The "standard" debian packages were used for installation.
php4 and php3 are activated within in apache; however, php3 scripts are
not recongnized as php code.
I actually use this in my httpd.conf file:
<IfModule mod_php3.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

How do I go about activating both?

Sorry if this is not what you asked for, but Kensington's Mouse-In-A-Box
works. I had it initally hooked up to my PS/2 port and could not get the
bloody thing to work (kudzu did recognize it though). I even emailed
Kensington about it and received a "too bad, so sad, we don't do Linux"
response. I was about to give up, when I found that hooking it up to the
serial port with the Intellimouse driver (in my XF86Config file, I have
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IntelliMouse"
Device "/dev/mouse"
Buttons 3
ZAxisMapping 4 5
). I have no idea about the 3 button Valumouse, but if you get truly fed
up trying, try exchanging it for the scroll mouse (about $20 Canadian).
It's three button too (the scroll wheel is a button as well as the
scrolling wheel).
Cheers,

Partition Magic has been able to non-destructively resize and
move linux ext2 partitons since v4.0 (current release is v5.0,
with 6.0 in development). The only caveat is that if you add or
delete partitions the partition numbering will change and you may
have to modify your kernel in order for it to find your "/" and
swap partitions. Simply replacing the FAT filesystem on hda1
with an ext2 filesystem is probably your best bet. It can remain
as a primary partition, but linux doesn't need to boot from it as
it can boot from a logical partition just as well.

Always prudent. And make a bootable linux floppy just in case.
And test it. The most likely problem after an operation like
this is that your kernel won't boot beacuse the changes have
confused it. In that case you can boot from the floppy and run
linux that way until you fix things properly.

Try "mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hda1" instead, otherwise mkfs will
complain that it needs to know what type of filesystem you want
to make.

Not necessary. If you can boot linux with your current partition
layout it will still boot after you replace the FAT partition
with ext2. Changing the filesystem from FAT to ext2 shouldn't
affect lilo, as usually lilo lives in the MBR, not on the
filesystem.
> Apply lilo to the new /dev/hda1.
Not necessary unless for some reason you put lilo someplace other
than the MBR. Check your /etc/lilo.conf; if there's a line
"boot=/dev/hda" (note: no numeral after the "hda") then lilo is
in the MBR. If it says something like "boot=/dev/hda1" then it's
in the partition boot record and will need to be reinstalled.
But I can't imagine why you'd do this if you're just going
between Windows and linux. The default location is the MBR, in
any case.
> Edit your fstab to automatically mount your new boot directory
No. Your /boot directory should be fine right where it is. You
may want to edit /etc/fstab to mount the new partition
automatically so you can use it, though.

You can also use the DOS version of Partiton Magic for this.
There's a script on the CD to make a bootable DR-DOS floppy to
run Partition Magic/DOS.

There always has to be one primary to act as a container for the
logical partitons within an extended partition. It doesn't
contain anything else and will occupy only one cylinder of
space. It doesn't need to be "active" or anything else either.
Linux just ignores the "active" flag that DOS/Windows uses to
identify a bootable partition.

That thing has a fixed frequency monitor and is very picky of what
resolutions and frequencies it will take. In your manual, there should
be a list of valid horiz. and vert. frequencies for your monitor. Use
them as part of the configuration.

If you are getting that from the Red Hat Rawhide packages, i've heard
