Re: Why is PPP so screwed up!?!?!
John Goerzen wrote: Bad idea. Replace the entry in the options file with ttyS0, do NOT make a modem symlink. This could, in fact, be responsible for all the rest of your problems. Reason is: modems use UUCP-style locking. Other programs will see that /dev/modem is locked, but NOT that /dev/ttyS0 is locked, and will use that device without asking any questions at all!

If this is a symbolic link won't it resolv the link before locking the creating? ie. the UUCP lockfile will be derived from the resolved link and not the link itself. -- Where's my spy camera?

NT and Microsoft can go to hell!
Well I guess I was expecting a little too much of NT when I just tried to shift partitions around. The plan was to simply backup a data partition and move it by creating a new data partition on the same drive and restoring the backup. I figured I'd be able to get the drive lettering sorted out. I figured that once I removed my existing data partition that that would free up that drive letter for the new data partition. Well Disk Administrator decided to shuffle the letters around to it's liking such that my boot partitions drive letter and my other drive letters were all different. At no time did I expect DA to change my existing drive letter configuration. So now the registry has all these references to totally invalid drive letters. Thanks Microsoft for drive letters! To top it off I agreed to write the signature that DA likes to write to the drive in order to operate on it. and this has completely hoarked my Debian Linux Boot record. I guess Linux requires that part of the boot record that Microsoft assumes no other OS doesn't. Thanks Microsoft! Disk Administrator and NT are about as reliable as Active X is secure. I'm now am adding the following to my Resume. I will not work with any Microsoft products! And I'd like to remove every single Microsoft OS I currently own. Right now that's 95,NT,DOS.

All of a sudden lost mouse support...
Very wierd. I install apm which I've disabled but since I did this gpm says /dev/mouse: Device or resource busy. Cat /proc/interrupts shows that the mouses interrupt 10 isn't in use by anybody. lsof /dev/mouse shows nothing. So this is usually the kernel saying that there's no mouse support?

Sorted out my mouse problem... Tecra owners please read.
Turns out that I installed a new version of pcmcia_cs and along the way it hoarked my configuration.. OK Tecra owners what irq do you use for your ethernet? I try to use 11 and so with 12 being the ps/2 mouse I tried setting PCIC_OPTS=irq_mask=0xe7ff to exclude those two interrupts but it turns out that irq_mask in PCIC_OPTS gets passed down to all other modules. So the only way to avoid this collision is to use cs_irq but for me that didn't work either. I'd love to hear how other Tecra 700 series users have things setup. I also specify irq_mask=0800 to use irq 11 with my etherlink which works fine. To use pcmcia reliably I have to use poll_interval=100 and forget about interrupts which I'd rather not do. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

What package is nfsd in?
I think my rex-fixed/updates problems are responsible for the lack of any mention of netstd_nfs. Since I've installed Debian before I'm familar with the need to uncomment mountd/nfsd etc... Well that use to be the case. Could it be that this package resides in rex-updates at the moment? This raises another point. I find it rather troubling that dselect just ignored the missing required/important packages that would have been in rex-updates but in my system weren't present by of the order I chose to mirror things. I don't remember any serious warnings or anything ... I would like to see flashing lights if required/important are missing. Perhaps I'm just wrong but that's certainly how things were for other packages like libc5 etc etc that are in updates. Note: all of this is my problem but I could have used a little help :-) Anybody?

pcmcia-modules source deb?
If I recompile my 2.0.6 kernel with the source in rex I'm also expected to have to recompile the pcmcia-modules I'm using right? They appear to be available in deb format only as compiled against 2.0.6 kernels but when I put in my Hayes Optima 144 it says that the modules don't match the kernel. I don't understand why it didn't complain about my ethernet which uses the same module from the same binary module archive but yet it complains when I put in the modem so I figure I need to recompile the pcmcia-modules against the new kernel? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Using a Hayes Optima 144?
Hi, I believe I've done everything I need to to be able to use this PCMCIA fax/data modem. I've verified that serial is loaded before serial_cs with lsmod and install minicom but all attempts to address the modem fail. Is anybody using this modem? Currently /dev/modem is a link to /dev/cua2 which I assume is appropriate for PCMCIA modems. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Confused about networking..
Ok I installed the pcmcia_cs support and I believe I have /etc/pcmcia/network.opts set up correctly and ifconfig reports the right addresses but netstat -rn is showing 0.0.0.0 for the gateway. netstat -rn shows 192.42.172.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1500 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 35840 0 lo NOTE: the 0.0.0.0's for the gateway.

pcmcia ethernet cont'd
OK here's what I did. I've installed the buzz-updates disks and I have a 2.0.6 kernel now and I've added the pcmcia_cs package and the modules that go with it and my system recognises the 3c589c at boot time. However, it doesn't setup the interface for some reason and my strobe light is hard on on the card's interface. So, if I execute network manually it starts up correctly I'm guessing that when I did the install the setup scripts couldn't detect the interface and so wrote the /etc/init.d/network file but didn't create the rcn.d link. Would this be correct? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: pcmcia ethernet cont'd
I've sinced learned that I should be looking at /etc/pcmcia/network and since I changed that things started work. However, it would seem that the patch cable I'm using is incorrect because I pulled out another much shorter cable that worked but is too small for me to do anything. Does anybody have the pinouts to make a patch cable? -- They pay homage to a king who's dreams are buried in their minds. His tears are frozen stiff.
