I presume your modem is in COM3 so link /dev/modem to ttyS2 (ln -s
/dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem). If /dev/modem already exists and is incorrect,
delete it (rm /dev/modem).
To test if your modem is responding, you may use minicom (just type minicom)
and check if it responds to AT commands (at, ata, atdt123456, etc.)

Subject: Neues Vertriebssystem Internetservice und Webdesign!
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 12:24:43 GMT
Gutan Tag!
Wir sind ein kleines, innovatives Unternehmen aus dem Raum Leverkusen welches
sich auf die Bereiche Internetservice und Webdesign spezialisiert hat.
Wir bieten alle Dienstleistungen dieser Branche zum Teil in Zusammenarbeit mit
unseren leistungsfähigen Partnern an.
Nun haben wir ein neues Vertriebssystem entwickelt und suchen dafür neue und
interessierte Partner. Speziell sprechen wir Computerinteressierte und
Einzelhändler sowie Netzwerktechniker an. Das Vertriebssystem ist nicht auf
diesen Personenkreis beschränkt sondern prinzipiell jedem zugänglich.
Im folgenden stellen wir dieses System kurz vor:
Im Grunde geht es um die Vermittlung unserer Dienstleistung. Jeder Computer -
Einzelhändler kennt das Problem. Oft wird neben dem Netzwerk oder der Hardware
nach einere Internetpräsenz oder einem anderen Internetservice gefragt. Die
eigenen Mittel und Ressourcen ermöglichen es jedoch nicht, diese Wünsche zur
Zufriedenheit der Kunden zu erfüllen.
Hier greift unser System. Sie vermitteln diese Kunden an uns weiter und erhalten
12% - 16% Provision der Gesamterlöse. Natürlich steigt die prozentuale
Beteiligung bei entsprechendem Auftragsvolumen. Ohne großen Aufwand können Sie
a) Ihren Kunden zufriedenstellen
b) Ihren Umsatz ohne jedes Risiko erhöhen.
Dieses Prinzip übertragen wir auf jeden unserer Partner. D. h., daß nicht nur
Einzelhändler und/oder Netzwerktechniker davon profitieren können, sondern jeder
Interessierte. Wir gehen so weit, daß wir jeden Freiberufler, jeden
Arbeitssuchenden dazu animieren möchten, an diesem Vertriebssystem teilzuhaben.
Wir gehen noch einen Schritt weiter. Durch eine aktive Mitarbeit an der
Gestaltung der Seiten kann der Vermittler sein Einkommen noch erhöhen.
Falls Sie Interesse haben, einer unserer zahlreichen und erfolgreichen Partner
zu werden, setzen Sie sich bitte umgehend mit uns in Verbindung:

I get a COREDUMP after free() (not everytime).
Is it because of the linux version, or the laptop ?

Hi !
I've got a parallel ZIP and I'm getting it work under Linux trought the
"ppa.o" module which I load at Linux starting (in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules).
Then I mount it and it work without any problem. But when I load ppa.o, I
must disable lp.o, and so I can't use my parallel port (and my printer). Is
there a way to make ppa work without disabling the access to the // port,
such as a new version of ppa.o ?
Thanks by advance...

What I want is a system where I can change the look and feel of all the
programs I am running, instantly and reversibly - say switching between a Mac
look to a Windows look. Updating my system to use a scrolling mouse - or any
other new UI device - should be trivial if a driver is available. This
situation is not what we have at present.

Hello all:
I would like to know of experiences with different Eicon ISDN cards and linux.
Which one would you reccomend to use with Suse linux 5.3 (kernel 2.0.35)?
I have gone through a lot of FAQs, mailing-list archives, etc, and there is
too much information. I ended up not knowing exactly which card does work and
which one does not. :-)
Thanks for your help.

If you are using the SVGA server, try switching to the S3V server. This
corrected the same problem for me on a generic S3 Virge DX video card.

Subject: NE2000 compatible card - how to setup?
I have an NE2000 network card. I compiled my kernel with NE2000 support
(at least I think I did). However, it is not automatically initialise at
boot time, which is what it should do. ifconfig outputs only the lo
device, unless of course I am connected to the net, when ppp0 is also on
the list.
"ifconfig eth0 up" gives no problems.
"ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" returns the following
errors:
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Operation not supported by device
In my /etc/conf.modules file there is the following two lines:
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300
I am using RedHat 5.1
What more can I try? What am I missing to get this card to work?
TIA,

Take the hard drive out, put it in another computer that works better,
install it, and then put it back in the other computer.

fdisk away all the partitions on the drive, run fdisk /mbr from DOS, reboot,
and run fdisk under DOS again to setup you're dos partitions. Then do the
normal format /s to make the drive do bootable.
Fdisk /mbr gets rid of lilo which is probably the step you're tripping up
on.

Subject: x11amp crashing...
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 17:06:12 -0400
Okay, this may not be the right place to post this but I'm getting
VERY fustrated. Scenario: At the begining of the school year I installed
slackware on my machine off the internet. My sound card is a Yamaha
OPL/3 whatever built into my intel motherboard (PII 233). Since
I couldn't get sound working I shelled out the 20 bucks to get the OSS
auto-install driver from 4front. It installed easily and I had sound.
But the thing crashed like crazy when ever I used x11amp (installed
about the same time as the system, no idea what version it was). Some
times the system locked, sometimes X bombed, sometimes x11amp bombed and
sometimes x11amp just locked up. It happened anywhere between 5 seconds
of starting it and 2 hours of playing mp3s.
Last weekend I installed redhat 5.9.7. Freshly downloaded the driver
from 4front to work with the new kernal. Today I downloaded the new
x11amp, compiled it and it looked very nice and had lots of options.
After 5 minutes of mp3's the son of a bitch LOCKED! The whole computer,
dead!
My analysis: I'm starting to think it's the sound driver or a hardware
problem. The kernel's got to be good and/or any bugs from before
(2.0.34!!!!!!!) fixed by now (and I'm not even using the sound
software). x11amp's also been through a few major upgrades and other
people I've talked to say it works fine. So I'm guessing either the
driver I BOUGHT is messed up or I have a hardware problem.
Has anyone had anysuccess with this hardware? Does the new kernel
nativly support my sound chips? Or do I just need to shell out 50 bucks
for a decent soundcard and disable the piece of crap? I'm getting really
sick of having to use my roommates NT box at parties becase my linux box
is too unstable!
