provided with the Mandrake distribution.

Subject: Winmodems with Linux
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 13:36:50 -0500
Hi,
I use a Win98 + Linux LILO boot machine. I have a 56K HSP Micromodem that I
use on win98. I've read everywhere that Winmodems cannot be used with Linux.
But I've have also read and seen some drivers for these modems now called
linmodems. There is a driver in pctel.com but I can't seem it to get it
installed - wvdialconf still doesn't detect my modem (which is in COM4). Can
anybody tell me if they've had success installing a WinModem on Linux?
Thanks,

Did you exit dselect skipping the 'Install' and 'Config' steps? The
'standard' packages are preselected when you enter that first run of
dselect, but still need to be installed and configured.
IMHO this is a deficiency in the install.

People have used a lot of ISPs to connect to the 'net. Its not a question
of the ISP openly supporting linux; since many of them don't even have linux
support pages. Its more of a question of determining if you will use dialup
ppp and getting a basic level of information from the ISP such as local PoP,
dns, whether you get a static or dynamic IP address, etc. Its the same
stuff you need for a windows box. Now you need a dialer. I like wvdial
personally. Its not a pretty gui tool but it works for me. If you are
using kde, lots of people use kppp. Another nice one is X-isp.
Just so you know, I have had good luck with several national ISPs including
ATT worldnet, ATT Business, Concentric, and Verio. I use a laptop on the
road and dial into Verio now with no real problems. Verio has limited
information available on unix setup requirements. ATT Worldnet was not
difficult whatsoever to setup. Concentric was easy.
At home I use dsl through pacbell but I don't use pacbell as an ISP. I
found a more localized ISP which does bsd and linux stuff and does not mind
if I share the network connection with multiple pc's on a home network. All
I did was get a external dsl modem which for me is an Alcatel at home.
Don't get a pci one and expect it to work. I also do not know if the usb
ones work. If you need pppoe, can't help you there. My dsl modem is a
simple ethernet device. It has a phone cable and a cat5 ethernet connector
which goes right to a firewall box.
I have spent some years doing dialup with Linux and have not had serious
problems. Prior to the graphical dialup apps, I used to write chat and ppp
scripts. After some experimentation I was able to use these quite
effectively.

Hi,
Use the following at the boot-prompt when starting up from the CD:
"vmlinuz ide2=0x9400, 0x9002 ide3=0x8800, 0x8402" for graphical install
or
"text ide2=0x9400, 0x9002 ide3=0x8800, 0x8402" for text install mode
For more details see the "Unofficial ASUS A7V and Linux ATA100

This worked fine for my system (RH6.2 by the way).

I have an older IBM aptiva box that I've been using for a while. I just
put RH 6.2 on it. It runs fine with the stock 2.2.14 RH-patched kernel.
I got a fresh 2.2.18 kernel from kernel.org, and compiled it. Now I get
kernel page errors and the box freezes.
The error is on eline, something like The kernel cannot find virual page
location HEXHEX.
No dump, none of the usual register spewing, just a completely frozen
box.
I've tried recompiling with various CPU settings all the way down to 486,
no luck.
This error seems to hit when pppd is redialing, but why pppd should kill
the 2.2.18 kernel and not the 2.2.14 kernel is a mystery.
Any ideas?

Subject: lilo: linux, NT & 98?
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 20:11:29 GMT
Every notice how things are always fine until you mess with them...?
Anyway, I had lilo running fine on my system with /dev/hda1 holding NT
(on NTFS), /dev/hdb1 holding some data (on FAT32), and /dev/hdb5 holding
linux.
Then I added Windows 98. Aside from the poor planning of adding Win 98
after NT, and aside from loads of other 'fun' difficulties, everything
is up and running with the following new configuration:
/dev/hda1 Windows NT (now FAT32)
/dev/hdb1 Windows 98 (booting from /dev/hda1, FAT32)
/dev/hdb5 Linux
Despite my (foolish) efforts, I can't get my lilo.conf to directly boot
Windows 98. I can only get it to boot Windows 98 by booting Windows NT
and then going through the NT bootloader to get to 98. Surely there is
a simpler way?
(And once there is a simpler way to boot W98, I'll just remove the W98
entry from the NT booloader)

Subject: Re: Help- Setup of Network Parameters
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 20:21:04 GMT
I WAS in luck! It must be my lucky day! Thanks a heck of a lot!
Working on the principle of "let's get access to the mini-LAN" first, with
Win98SE still operating on the gateway PC, I focussed on Machine B. Only
change one thing at a time ... good concept. Lots of fun. The situation at
this time is:
1. The single NIC in Machine B is a Realtek 8029 PCI card which, according
to all accounts and the Realtek site in Taiwan, "is ne2000 compatible". So
I assumed that the proper driver for it would be "ne2k-pci" which is in one
of the directories.
2. But, using "ifconfog -a", there's no entry for eth0, just for the lo
local loop.
3. Being smart, I looked at the system load logs. The entries there say:
- "Delaying eth0 initialization", followed by
- "Bringing up interface eth0: failed"
4. OK, I thought, maybe the OS is not detecting the card. So I did a "Cat
/proc/pci" and there was the Realtek 8029, Bus 0, Device 13, Funcion 0, IRQ
17, and I/O at 0xc800 [0xc81f]. (so was my Ensoniq ESS1370 card which
doesn't work either ... but that's another story).
5. Doing the rest of the changes for Machine B, though, I did the network,
network-scripts, and /etc/conf.modules changes/confirmations. It does have
an "alias eth0 ne2k-pci" entry.
So at this point there's no use of the NIC yet. And I got to thinking ...
would the "ACPI=on" in the BIOS be making Linux use virtual IRQs (like W2K),
because in 98SE the IRQ is 9 or 10, and in this case it's IRQ=17. Also, I
don't think the 8029 is a bus-mastering card, so it might not like to share
ANY IRQ with another device. (Ditto perhaps my Ensoniq Audio Card?)
Any suggestions?

Whats it complaining about?
How did you install open_ssl, if you built from source tarball it by
default does not install the shared library. Also have you updated
ld.so.conf?

Subject: switching to LINUX mail server
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 20:30:11 -0000
Hello, I just got hired and one of my first tasks is to switch our mail
server from a 15 yr old Sparc box to a LINUX box and I need some
recommendations.
Which version of Linux should I go for ? caldera, red hat etc.?
Can anyone recommend tutorials or books on this?
How do I start?
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Subject: CD Writer Setup
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 14:20:31 -0600
Hi
I am trying to set up a parallel port HP 7200 external CD
Writer on Linux (RedHat 7). So far I have figured out how to read
stuff from the writer by loading appropriate modules (paride etc)
and then mounting /dev/pcd0
But I am not sure what I have to do to burn CDs using, say, CDRecord.
The CD-Writing howto talks mainly about Scsi devices, so it did not
help much for parallel port writers.
Also, I loaded the ide-scsi module, and then 'cdrecord -scanbus'
detects the device, but I cannot get it to write to it...it gives
me an error as 'Cannot send Scsi cmd thru ioctl' or something like
that.
Any help, please?
TIA
Raj
