Re: test from gentooland

[Robert Himmelmann]

Mine is working partly. After recompiling the kernel twice with new 
options I could connect dial in. However after sending the password it 
froze. Then I compiled some other modules into the kernel and now I can 
establish a connection. The only problem is that I can only open one 
stream at a time and the speed is 1.5kbps instead of 4kbps on SuSE. I 
suspect that there is another module missing or I have to configure 
something. I will keep trying. I have also some minor issues with Emacs, 
kdm, bash, mount and some others but I should be able to fix those once 
the modem is running completely. I can also chroot into SuSE and then 
execute commands there. Is there any way to do this and preserve the 
connection to the X-server?

I have to use different configurations for kde under SuSE and Gentoo. I 
saved them as .kde.gentoo and .kde.suse and added the following 
python-script to my .profile. It works under SuSE now I only have to 
test it under Gentoo.

import os, sys
distro = open('/etc/distro').readline().rstrip('\n')
def process(file):
   global distro
   if os.path.isfile('/home/robert/'+file) or 
os.path.islink('/home/robert/'+file):
       os.unlink('/home/robert/'+file)
   os.symlink(file+'.'+distro, '/home/robert/'+file)
process('.kde')
process('.bashrc')

I would also like to come to the fix-up evening. What time does it start 
and about how long will it take? Could some-one pick me up please? I 
live at Idris Road 85 Bryndwr/Fendalton.

Everybody got working modems?
If not we could probably do something on Tuesday evening.
Please make mention in this thread.
