Still no luck with kppp, but I have my /etc/ppp scripts working, so at least I'm not switching to win95 to get online any longer. However, I have to run the scripts as root, or else pppd tells me it does not have permission to open /dev/ttyS1. Changing permissions on ttyS1 doesn't seem to work -- it eliminates the error, but nothing happens. Any ideas on that one? It doesn't bother me too much to use root to dial in to my ISP, but I would like to keep the system pretty transparent for others who use my computer. And, one other question. I'm pretty new to apache -- do I need to recompile apache with venus to run dbm? I'm trying to run some dbm cgis, but having no luck, and I'm not familiar enough with apache to know if I need to rewrite my scripts or if I'm just not telling apache to enable dbm. (To be more specific, can I continue to use commands like "dbmopen" in my cgi files, or do I have to work with dbm files differently than I have in the past? If I can continue to work with dbms as I have been, do I need to reconfigure apache in some way?) I hope that second question makes some sense, because I'm feeling pretty inarticulate right now. Thanks in advance for a littl help. I'm thankful for you experienced folks out there; I've learned a lot reading this list the past handful of days. -alan | note my new non-Whitman email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Bye-bye Whitman; I'll be writing from U of Arizona in August! |
