Re: rebuilt kernel with sbpcd
Following the instructions in sbpcd (the README for release 4.2 or newer of the SoundBlaster Pro CD-ROM driver for Linux) I rebuilt the kernel with no apparent improvement.

Re: 56k baud modem (x2)
I'm refering to using the 56k upgrade to their 33.6 modems. It's some kind of driver (not ISDN) for working on regular analog lines. It might be something that reloads EEPROM or such. I'm looking for success and real connect speeds. Sometimes people with 33.6k only get on at 28.8k or 24k. From looking at it, and reading other lists, the other end has to have a digital connection. So, you can't just connect 56k user - 56k user... it must be done 56k user - 56k provider with special USR gear. Also, I remember bringing up the fact that its illegal (in the US) to run at speeds over 46k (or similar) over the analog lines... so legally, you can't go that fast. I'm assuming that this is going to be overturned shortly, since several companies are coming up with 56k technology. I personally would just assume go ISDN.

Re: Using debian as a proxy/masq. server.

Well, is there a way to do this, in that they authenicate themselves to the debian box, with a username and password, and the proxy server will record wherever they go (until the logout). or is there an easier way. For FTP and Telnet the TIS Firewall Toolkit package will do what you want. As for web browsing, I have never seen a solution that provided foolproof authentication..

routing
hello all. I have TWO Debian boxes sitting side by side (plus more, but they aren't hooked up as of yet) My problem is: When DIALD is running, nothing works over ethernet. If I run TCPDUMP, I can see traffic going OUT, and I can see the other box sending data, but not as a response per se. Machine with modem is a P133 box running the latest diald from bo, (have never been able to get it to work, with any available diald version) it has a 33.6k modem that I use to get onto the Internet with. On the other debian box, I have nothing except ethernet, for a connection to the outside world. If DIALD is running, the other machine won't answer ICMP echo requests, or anything else. If diald is disabled, ethernet works ok. I can only attribute it to routing configuration error, or diald just not allowing things to work. I've posted this question several times to the list.

ethernet vs. diald
I'm still fighting with diald to not gnarl the connection over ethernet, and in the procces, I have managed to make it NEVER touch the ethernet, so its ok, but now diald doesn't want to dial. which is not ok. is there anyone out there that is using both a static ethernet network, and diald? any info will help.

2 things
I'm fighting a few problems tonight with my boxes: 1. Network - I can only talk on my network from my machine named dst, IF I am connected to the Internet... which makes no sense, since this network is LOCAL... (dst is 192.168.1.1) and the machine I am trying to talk to is 192.168.1.2 (named spacewalker) On dst I am running diald. Since I am connected to the internet so much, I didn't notice this before. :) 2. Machine spacewalker doesn't like to boot! I made myself a custom kernel, and it doesn't want to boot. I get up to the point of mounting the root partition, and kernel panics. I'm booting my kernel off of /dev/hda1 which is /boot, and root is /dev/hda2 (swap is hda3) I have a Western Digital 2.5Gb HD.

my problems with booting
I was able to solve my problem with booting, concerning my machine named spacewalker. It was because WatchDogTimer was enabled. It was configuring itself to use io=240,irq=14. I have no watchdog hardware board installed on this computer. Once I compiled with WDT support, everything works ok... and the new kernel is nice and fast, and just what my box needs. :) no extra fluff. I'm still puzzled about the network connection problem, (diald runs my connection) which is: local ethernet only accessible if I am connected to Internet via PPP. I was also wondering if I could one could run diald on a machine that is also a IP MASQ'ing firewall, so that diald would dial out if a machine on ethernet wants to get on the Internet...

quake
I've had some weird things happen in quake under X. 1. Keys are sticking. No, its not my keyboard.

Sideways - It will force me to only be able to move right, (or forward and backwards work) but not left. All these problems seems to be related with the keys. 4. Display pops down when I'm hit. quake iconizes whenever I get hit. I'm running the x version 3.2 and fvwm95 as my window manager.

TIme online monitoring
Merry Christmas to all that it applies. I want to keep a running total of the time I am online, with MY ISP. Is there an easy way to do this? I want to see how much time I actually am online, and see if there is any way I can trim it down. In my local area, ISDN PPP accounts are only $19.95 a month, but Bell South charges 53.15 a month, plus $0.01 a minute after 200 hours. If i'm online for a straight week, there goes most of my time right there.. :) (which happens sometimes) I wanted to see how much time I use before I sign up for ISDN phone service. I figured $300 a month for the PHONE LINE per month if I average 20 hours a day. Which obvisouly, I won't be doing if I have to pay by the minute. :) Also, transfers and what not will be faster, so it will take less time online for many things... :) Like keeping a fresh local copy of Debian... -- Daniel Stringfield mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jax-inter.net/users/servo Send email for more information on the Jacksonville Linux Users Group! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Debian 1.2 - my installation woes.
I bought a 2.5 gig (Western Digital) IDE hard drive. It seems to be making weirdness happen on the machine its on. (a pentium 133, 430vx motherboard, 16mb ram). Whats happening on THIS machine is that the BIOS autodetects it, but locks up on boot. If I disable hard drive in CMOS, boots ok, gets into Linux (the boot set from the 8'th) and sees the drive, but then says hdb-hdd error resetting irq or something similiar (from last night, after my car broke down, and was already in a bad mood, so I don't remember exactly) those drives don't exist on my system, so didn't care about that. but when the Disks do anything to access the drive, the light turns on and I get messages saying something about an error on dev 03:00 i/o error and lots of messages about blablabla error status and it said either 30, or 50, and sometimes sayed 38 (or 58) don't remember.. (Sorry! I was very frustrated after the events of the night) I'm a computer tech myself, and personally think its either the controller on the drive itself, or its the IDE controller on the motherboard. (Which is going to really suck because I bought the motherboard from the last company I worked for who wants to charge me $25 for cleaning a keyboard that its logic board wasn't initializing correctly at boot, 1/10 boots.

I don't think that initrd can be run from lilo (but I could be mistaken), but if you are willing to configure the system (fstab for instance) completely before comitting it to CD you should be able to boot the CD from a small partition with lilo and a kernel that has built in drivers for the cd drive. However, this is a lot of work to get a system that will, by virtue of CD access speeds be brutally slow. The main reason for my interst in this path is that it provides a path for bringing up a system (larger than base) without boot, root, and base disketts, from which a real system can be installed with all the networking tools needed to perform this installation in whatever method the installer desires. I have been hearing on Linux-Kernel that there is work being done to patch the kernel so that it will boot with a loop device, thus allowing an ext2 file system to be built as a file image that can be copied to any partition (either dos or linux) and be booted using the loop device to mount root. This would be a read/write filesystem without the limitations on umsdos file systems. This configuration can be booted from either lilo or loadlin. I see alot of BIOS's that have Boot Device: A:, C:, or CD-ROM. I believe SCO OpenServer is able to boot off of CD-ROM (but not the prefered method, if you use BTLD's).. I wonder how they do it? There has got to be a way... just that several CD-R disks are going to get wasted in the process..
