Do you have a current copy of binutils (I think thats the name)
installed? IIRC the assembler (as86) is in that collection.

Thanks Kevin,
The RT311 is set up for DHCP. Windoze is set to grab first available IP.
I downloaded the new DHCPCD module and set that up. So I have figured
out
that I have to use DHCP. Whenever the machine boots up, it tries to
configure eth0 by contacting a DHCP server and then I get a timeout
waiting
for DHCP server response.
While the Linux box is waiting on the DHCP response, the corresponding
hub light
DOES light up on the hub box, then when it times out, it goes out.
When I issue ifconfig I get....
lo Link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr: 127.0.0.1 Mask: 255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
It apparently recognizes the loopback, I can ping localhost with no
problems.
Then I issue
ifconfig eth0 up
The hub light comes on for the corresponding port..
When I issue ifconfig then I get
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:24:AC:1B
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
interrupt:11 Base address:0x300
lo Link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr: 127.0.0.1 Mask: 255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
I don't have enough experience networking linux to know if this is OK
or not. My initial impression is that it may indeed be set up correctly.
That is, it's asking for an IP from the Netgear and it isn't getting it,
so it can't configure eth0.
I truly appreciate all the assistance that you and the other folks are
giving me on this....
Thanks again!

Yes, my RH included ircd, it's in /usr/local/lib, just type ./ircd
(NOT as root) and away it will go.
ircd is pretty minimal, but may suffice for your needs.

Or you could use a dialer which supports multiple ISPs instead which manages
the information such as DNS, etc. One that leaps to mind is X-isp. I believe that
kppp and wvdial also support multiple dialin ISPs. X-isp's implementation for me
is tried and true and it works.

I think a better idea would be to find a copy of the /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
script. If you install the SOURCE package of apache, it should be possible
to find. Probably you will need to modify a few paths in it, but other than
that, it should be usable. Put it into /etc/rc.d/init.d, after that, chkconfig
should be usable.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong - I hardly use chkconfig anyways, I usually
just make the appropriate links myself.
