Re: ISA vs PCI Modem

It doesn't matter ONE-BIT. Bus speed has nothing to with a modem. Your modem will run at a constant speed which is a lot slower than the bus will. Either modem will perform just as well. I would consider how easily configured it is and price, rather than bus speed. That's the only real issue

Security in Linux

Hi all. First a THANKS to all who have helped me out in the past. I am now involved in a research project at SFCC in Spokane, WA for a computer science class, and have taken on the project of security in operating systems. What I am doing is researching the security problems in Windows NT

Re: I can't believe this

I read similar articles like this too. They are not really biased simply because they promote Redhat's Linux. The Debian system is a collection of high level puzzle pieces that an under-experienced user would have great difficulty using. On the other hand, you have Redhat and Caldera with their

Re: Debian and Redhat - are most linux users missing the point?

I have now finally figured out the main issues (for me) concerning the Linux install-and-get-it-running problem. Through all this, It (Linux) has simply verified what I have always suspicioned. That is: Bill Gates is similar to a drug dealer. He got everyone hooked on windows, and we now must

DNS

I got the dial-up to finally work. Now my question is: Where do I find some DNS numbers? (Like Netscape.home, Internic, etc). Thanks for any help you can give. Ed

I have the same problem when I start KDE. -Original Message- From: Jim Power [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Monday, February 22, 1999 02:22 Subject: Unable to load NLS charset The following lines are thrown out during boot time: . .

ISP connect

I use the KDE window to configure dial-up settings. I have reconfigured the connect script to this: noauth. That is the only line in the script. I connect through MSN which requires a PAP login. I did not put a DNS number in hoping maybe it would configure this dynamically. The IP is set to

pppd deamon dies unexpectedly

I have tried setting up an internet connection with no success. Every time I try connecting, I get the message pppd daemon died unexpectedly. It does dial, I hear the initial connection made, and then it quits. I've used the terminal window to see what the problem is, but it doesn't show

Okay, I put Auth in /etc/ppp/options, but it still quits on connect. Anything else I can try? From: Anthony Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: eferen1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: Re: pppd deamon dies

StarOffice install

How do I install Star office? I tried dpkg and install but I can't get anything to work. Yes, I did check the Debian FAQ. Or did I miss something? Any ideas to help? Thanx. Ed

RE: Winmodem?

Hi. I had that problem too. If it's a winmodem, forget it! Get yourself a real modem. Debian people won't write a driver for it. MS has a closed door policy on their code, and probably locks their developers in it too. Sorry. Ed -Original Message- From: Brent Hueth

Dial-up problem

A big THANK YOU to all who responded to my dial-up woe with the WINModem. I didn't realize that Windows compatible hardware would ONLY work with Windows. I will have to get a different modem then. I agree that drivers won't be written in LINUX for any type of WIN hardware. There

Dial-up problem

This is a follow up to my previous message. I guess I should have been more specific about this problem. I installed FreeBSD 3.0 to see if it would connect, but it didn't either. Here are the details; 1. I have MS Network. The local provider provides the IP address. 2. I cannot get the IP address

Dial-up problem

I have tried several times to establish a dial-up connection but nothing has worked. MSN is my provider. They have a server assigned IP address. Because of this, I'm sure it does not connect. Anybody else have this problem? Thanx.
