Now that I've solved my compile and Samba problems (I think), I'm interested in moving my internet access off of my Win98 machine and onto my Linux server. My question revolves around whether there are any special considerations from my using MCI as my ISP, and Newsguy as my newsfeed. Right now, all of my internet activity at home goes through a Win98 machine with an external V90 modem. I use Netscape for browsing and mailing list email, and Forte Agent for usenet and non-mailing list email. What I'd like to do is to shift the connection to the server, while maintaining the existing software which would then hopefully just be pointed to the server instead of directly to MCI and Newsguy. In addition, I'd like to add some new usenet functionality, namely the ability to filter easily on IP address using sendmail or Linux software, and to download usenet news messages based on user-id. The latter is not an immediate need, but I'd like to implement it eventually. Are there any special considerations, or will all of this be relatively straightforward? I'd like to have my own domain name as I did when I ran a private Waffle site, but I don't know if MCI permits this. I think I sent them an email and never got an answer. I'm running Red Hat 6.0 on a Pentium 200 with 64meg., 10meg. drive, and a 10 megabit ethernet connection to the Win98 machine. Eventually there'll be a Pentium 133 on the same network, from which I'd like to browse. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
