Re: Determining original FBSD version
- Original Message - From: Gerard Samuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freebsdquestions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2004 7:20 PM Subject: Determining original FBSD version I plan on making the move to 5.3 on boxes running 4.10 via a fresh install. The thought came to me as to what was the original version of FreeBSD did I install on those boxes. Usually I upgrade the boxes via build/install world. If there is way to find out, that it would be interesting to know. If not, no big deal, as its an absent minded thought... Thanks I believe you're looking for uname -a. man uname for more info.

Hi, Anyone have any howto pages or any web sites where I can find on setting up a freebsd box as a voip gateway for a phone card co im looking into? I'm not quiet sure, but I think you'll find Asterisk and SER interesting. Check: Asterisk: http://www.asteriskpbx.com SER: http://www.iptel.org/ser/ They're both available in the ports collection: ports/net/asterisk and ports/net/ser. VOIP info http://www.voip-info.org can be very helpful as well. Hope this helped. Eihab E.

Re: pppoa problem
From: Long Story [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 7:00 PM Subject: Re: pppoa problem Hello Eihab, Hello Thomas, Hello Marwan :) I found a Zip file called, SpeedTouch330_firmware_3012.Zip When I did unzipped this file I found two unknown extention files which is zzzl_3.012 and kqd6_3.012 and it came to my knowledge from somesite that the file zzzl_3.012 is for 330 usb speedtouch and that i have to place it in /usr/local/libdata/ to be in the same directory with mgmt.o, so I did so, and i did a manual modem run modem_run -v 1 -m -d /dev/ugen0 -f /usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o But still complaining from no firmware found in /usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o Would you please correct my informations please? what additional packages files i should install? The two files zzzl_3.012 and kqd6_3.012 are different versions of the firmware for different modem revisions. try: dmesg -a |grep ALCATEL to see your modem revision. mine says: ugen0: ALCATEL Speed Touch 330, rev 1.10/2.00, addr 2 kqd6_3.012 is for revision 0 and 2, zzzl_3.012 is for revision 4. You need to Replace mgmt.o with either one of these files, e.g. do a: # mv kqd6_3.012 /usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o this will over write the old mgmt.o file with this new one. I didn't have much luck with it though, the connection was shaky. I downloaded a fresh copy of the file speedmgmt.tar.gz as Eihab said but it ask for hotplug-2001_01_16.tar.gz I also downloaded that hotplugin and I did install it, but still the make make install for speedmgmt doesnot work and says operator missing.. The file speedmgmt.tar.gz contains a few files, you should just copy mgmt.o from it to your /usr/local/libdata/. A list of commands for that would be: # tar -xzvf speedmgmt.tar.gz [extracting files] # cd speedmgmt # mv mgmt.o /usr/local/libdata/ Hope this helped. Eihab E.

Yahoo runs FreeBSD as well as many other popular sites. You can check www.netcraft.com to find out which site is running what. A direct link to yahoo's results: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.yahoo.com MSN and Microsoft run Win2k, Win2k3. Netcraft's website is filled with various surveys/graphs about web servers, their performance and uptime. You can find out more information on how does FreeBSD stand against other OSes as a web server. As for a comparison between FreeBSD and Windows you may want to post your question to freebsd-advocacy@ mailing list (?), or wait until someone else replies with a more fulfilling answer.

From /ports/pppoa I have done make, make install , and everything went fine. I have done also whats instructed to do, which is : cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/adsl.sh.sample to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/adsl.sh and cp /usr/local/share/doc/speedtouch/ppp.conf.sample to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and changed the adsl profile in ppp.conf to the correct usrname,password,vpi, vci also i have included the following in my /etc/rc.conf usbd_enable=YES ppp_enable=YES ppp_mode=ddial ppp_profile=adsl [...] You only need usbd_enable=YES in your rc.conf. Try removing the ppp_enable,ppp_mode,ppp_profile from your rc.conf, and let the adsl.sh take over. Hopefully it'll work this way. Eihab E.

The adsl.sh worked fine for me, just make sure you use only one method not both. Please accept my apologies for not reading your email thoroughly. It could be a problem with the firmware file you currently have. Try to download a fresh copy from: http://download.ethomson.com/download/speedmgmt.tar.gz and replace the mgmt.o with the one in this package. [...] Im really sick of trying wish someone could help. Take a deep breath, it took me 3 days of searching to get this modem working decently :) Good luck. Eihab E.
