Well, in general theory, you can't use SIMMs and DIMMS at the same time.
Usually a SIMM will be a stick of EDO or otherwise regular memory. That 64
megger (which I imagine you picked up for a song at pc-66) is gonna be SDRAM
by definition since you stated that it is PC-66. I don't think that there
is a motherboard in existance that will let you use both. But the good news
is that you can probably just use the 64 and be better off than before.

Before you tweak parameters you need to understand some basic
netorking concepts. With TCP/IP, all data is broken into chucks
called packets (or a more specific term, depending on the context
of the conversation you may hear segment or datagram).
Each packet has a header prepended with source and destination
IP addresses on it. (Note I'm simplifying quite a bit here.) The
largest chunk of data that can be turned into a packet is called
the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU). So, if you send a 15,000 byte
file via FTP, and the MTU is 1500, then ten packets need to be
sent. If the MTU were set lager then fewer packets are needed, but
the system is designed to work with other computers sending data
over the network. For this and other reasons no one party is allowed
to hog the network, say by sending a 22 megabyte file as one large
packet.
Each IP packet eventually is delivered to a computer's NIC. However
that requires a different technology. In a common situation, you
use Ethernet or PPP. Both of these technologies also use packets,
and they take the IP packet, add some headers, and transmit the
result. At this level packets are called "frames" and guess what?
Frames also have an MTU. Usually it is a little larger than the
IP MTU, so that the whole IP packet can be sent as one frame.
If you increased the MTU for IP, the system wouldn't be able to
fit the whole IP packet into a single frame. It would send two
frames for each IP packet. Of course you might consider increasing
the MTU of the frame, but (without going into details) this wouldn't
work well, the network might not function at all if you did.

That's about it. Actually, some technologies don't even check the
MTU, they assume it is ok and just add their own headers and
send the results. (I think ISL does that.) The result is the
occasional "giant" frame. Too many of these and your network will
experience some failures or at least poor performance.

You have the same issues in Windows as in Linux, and the
default Windows settings are no different than Linux's. (They're
just harder to change. :-)
> 1) Where do I start so I can at least de-bug or tweak my system?
This is why networking certifications are valuable! It takes a lot
to know what you're doing, and I certainly don't feel qualified to
explain it all here. Practically, if your network isn't used for
business-critical/life threating work, you can just experiment by
changing the MTU up or down, stress out your network by sending
lots of data around, and note which setting works the best. Try
1400 and see if that helps.
Good luck!

1. RH7 install fails when installing from Hard Disk (RPMS on
functioning RH5.2 native linux partition). There are many documented
bugs on this, but none of the fixes work for me.
2. My CD Burning software doesn't do ISO images and I don't want
to spend another $100 on Adaptec Easy CD Creator. (TIP: Don't by
an HP CD-Writer).
Can I take the downloaded /RedHat/base and /RedHat/RPMS files
and burn them to CD's as regular files? If so, which files should go
on which CD and in what directories so the installer will like them?

I have no experience with Corel Linux.
1) You create a linux boot floppy and boot off a floppy disk to launch
Linux
or
2) You need a small /boot partition (16M) in the beginning of your
harddisk.
or
3) You could download the lastest lilo that does not have the 1024

Don't know how exactly, or what caused it (although 'operator error' is
almost a certainty!) but I fixed it by booting via tomsrtbt bootdisk and
rejiggering fstab (and mtab). It looks like I could have gotten past the
'remounting' message anyway simply by hitting <Ctrl-C> though perhaps only
in 'single user' mode.
Anyway, it's fixed. I learned a bit but I'm still somewhat puzzled.
Glad I got an emergency bootdisk now though.

I tried this which does not work:
=================================
# mount -t vfat -o rw,loop=/dev/loop0 initrd.img /mnt/cd_image
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,

Hello All;
I have acquired a Connect Tech ISA Intellicon-8 multiport serial card.
It was being used in an older Redhat linux server. The machines were
re-deployed and I wasn't able to get the original drivers off of the
machine.
Has anyone had any experience with these cards and know where I can

there are no Linux drivers for this particular vintage of product.
The recent kernel tree doesn't seem to list these cards in particular
but I would be happy to be proven wrong.
I am planning to use it under a recent Slackware installation.
Any any all help or pointers would be appreciated.
