Subject: Multiple simultaeneous PPP connections
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 21:05:38 +1300
Hi. I've been appointed the Network Administrator for our new geek flat
and have a problem to do with modems.
We have the following internet connections.
1 Fulltime (call it "albatross")
1 Parttime (call it "paradise") (we have two phone lines, the second
modem would ideally be fired up on an ass-needed basis.
Additionally, we will also have a DSL connection, though that may need to
be connected to another ('doze) machine.
My problems are as follows.
How do I setup ppp to have more than one connection?
How do I setup the routing tables to arbitrarily send to either modem?
(I've seen in the kernel, the option IP: Equal Path Multipath. I've
downloaded iproute2 tools, but there is not documentation for this kernel
option.)
Here's a quick sketch of what I think the network will look like.
I've left out the DSL, since it is an uncertainty at present.

I had Linux Red Hat 6.2. When I enter command Perl, the answer is next:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US"
are supported and installed on your system.

Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 08:13:42 GMT
Hi all,
I got a cheap laptop recently (running Win98) and I am
trying to let it access the network. My server is a
RedHat Linux 7 box. The ethernet card is just too
expensive for the cheap laptop so I am trying to
connect 2 computers with a serial cable. I followed
some doc on the web and got getty working on my linux
box. With pppd and a chat script, I also "fooled" the
Win98 box that it's dialled a number and connected to
a dialup server successfully. However, pppd doesn't
run successfully during the login; it complains that
"Could not determine local IP address"...
<headache...help...>
Here is debug message the /var/log/messages:

Hi all ,
Where can i find the detail LILO document? (ex. append and so on)
I have 3 G memory and it's ok at windows 2000, but RedHat 7.0 only
recognized 2G memory size.
How to do ? ( it's fail to set "append= " mem=3000M" and it's ok to set
"append = "mem=1500M" in lilo.conf)
Best regards.

No. It always means "no IRQ assigned".

Not needed in this case. It is a typical "PNP-OS = Yes" error.
Change the BIOS settings to non-PNP OS.
(sigh)
A quick glance at deja.com would have given you this in seconds.

You probably just need to compile the nvidia module and GLX again for your
kernel. I had to do this when I installed 2.4.0-test5. The module will only
work with the kernel it was compiled under.

Nikola,
One way to stop this message is to set one of those environment variables,
for example set
LC_ALL=C
in your bash shell and the messages will go away.
For a full answer have a look at
perldoc perllocale
especially in the section "LOCALE PROBLEMS" .
Cheers,

Pilot-link can be found at rpmfind.org or you can grab some sources for it
from sourceforge I believe. I don't know the url offhand but I know the
author of pilot-link and I believe he provides tarballs that others make
rpms from. Check out rpmfind.org and see if its there first. You could
also check out freshmeat.

I do this at home now. My approach is to use exim, procmail, fetchmail, and
mutt on each system that gets or sends email. You could set up one box to
be an smtp and pop mail server but you would still need to get the mail to
that box and fetch it from that box. I found it much easier for my linux
clients to use fetchmail and exim. I agree that exim is easier. Its also
very easy to masquerade envelope headers. You don't have to rewrite
sendmail.cf files. Each instance of exim points to the same smtp server on
my ISPs network as the smarthost since all the traffic is masqueraded as
coming from one host. I do change the envelope and regular headers using a
combination of exim and my .muttrc file.

Hello,
I try to install Mandrake 7.2. The setup program detected my modem but not
my soundcard, so far ok. I could use kppp to dial out. Then I set up my
soundcard (Yamaha YMF715E including OPL3,MPU401,MIDI) with harddrake. That
worked.
But now my modem seems to be locked (can't use minicom, kppp etc.). Maybe
modem (ttyS1) and soundcard are set to the same IRQ ?
On bootup I get an error message:
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17mdk/misc/opl3sa2.o failed
However, the card works.
I saved my old SuSE isapnp.conf. The IRQ is 5, DMA 8 is 1, DMA 16/2 is
1.Under
Mandrake there is no /etc/isapnp.conf only /etc/isapnp.gone...?
