Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 08:34:05 -0500
Hi,
I need help in installing the PPP dial-up. I tried to setup PPP dial-up
through XWindow, but it seems that I cannot connect, although the line
to the ISP isn't busy.
I configured the modem ok, and can dial to the ISP, the modem ring ok I
can hear the tone and the ISP server receive connection, but no
connection is established. I don't know which part isn't right. I got
the hostname, the domain, DNS server, phone number. Which part is still
wrong.
Actually, I'm not that good with Linux or PC...I got the XWindow install
because I am using redhat 5.1 (installation set the XWindow for me)...I
try reading the documentation, but became worse, I don't understand a
thing. Tension...
Huh, hope somebody can help to clear the things up to me. Thanks.

Hello!
I have been dinking with PPP, and have RedHat 5.2 on a laptop that dials
into a PPP server just fine. My next step is getting one of my RedHat 5.2
boxes set up to answer incoming PPP calls. I've dropped 3 modems in it, and
set up a rollover group (on the 3 lines) to handle the calls coming in.
I thought I remembered that someone said to use MGETTY to handle my
incoming calls. The incoming calls will be from Win '9x machines, and using
PAP, I guess (isn't that the default).
1) Where should I get MGETTY from?
2) Is it the 'best' program for what I need? By best, I mean easy to use
and stable. This machine isn't going to get a lot of calls, just one or 2 a
night. I don't need any bloatware that does accounting, etc.
3) Are there any e-articles that compare softwares of this sort?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

have you tried "guash" within the Gimp? Guash will display a
thumbnail of all the graphics files in a directory. A little slow, as
it scales each image, but very useful. Should be under the Xtns menu.

rxvt is a cut down version of xterm and uses less resources. The features that
are omitted are of little use to most people and so it makes a useful drop-in
replacement.

most modern bios' can boot off a cdrom. RedHat cd's come with a live

Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 15:52:22 +0100
Hi,
I've got a problem where a normal user under Xwin can start a big
memoryhogging program (like loading >500 pics in ImageMagick or
something), this will make the machine crash as it runs out of memory
and NFS then gets desperate. I've been directed to use ulimit to set
down the limit of the mem available to a user to maybe 90% of available
so that theres always a couple (10) percent left for system critical
tasks, but how do I accomplish this!? The doc (help ulimit) is quite
limited....
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Internet Phone for Linux?

Does anyone know of any Internet Phone applications that are available for
Linux? These allow two (or more) people to talk voice over the Internet
(through their computers, not necessarily over normal phones). I have been
using Vocaltec's Internet Phone (for Win32) and am trying to find an
equivalent in Linux.
The application must be able to talk to other people that are using
Windows-based phone programs (like IPhone or CUSeeMe). No good if I can
only talk to Linux-based users.
I found something called SpeakFreely (www.speakfreely.org), but it looks
like it is only for Win32.

Hello,
I have a network system using RH5.2 and running fine. The IP is 192.168.16.1
Because I want ot learn more about linux, so I hooked up one more linux box
in my existing lan (of course running as a SERVER and IP is 192.168.18.1),
so i can change anything in the new linux box for my testing.
I cannot ping the 192.168.16.1 from the new linux box (192.168.18.1), is
possible set two different IP in one lan system?

I read that the only component that could be damaged by a wrong
software setting is the monitor (if you set a wrong
resolution/refresh rate on the video card) Is this true?

Hi,
Just give Mangrake a try.
Actually you have RH5.2 coming so add KDE1.1 and I believe you will have
Mandrake ;-)
Although Mandrake is also nice because it has on its disk the newest
kernel < needs to be installed> and the newer 4.50 Netscape
along with much more.
Hey for a $1.99 ??
You may as well give it a try, you wont be sorry.
Good Luck,

Subject: PPP Dial Out Problem
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 08:14:37 -0600
I am running RedHat 5.1 SPARC Linux an a SPARC 5, and a ZOOM 56k modem
Model 2949. This machine is providing Internet access to a small LAN
using IP masquerade. It sometimes takes hours ( hundreds of attempts )
of attempted dial out connections to make a successful ppp connection
with my Internet service provider. After making a ppp connection, often
the connection will die while it is actively in use (it is not being
disconnected due to an idle connection). After the connection dies,
running ifconfig shows that the SPARC 5 still has a ppp connection with
my ISP but pinging the ISP results in 100% packet loss.
When using a windows machine (with a modem by another manufacture) to
access the same ISP using the same telephone line & number and the same
Internet account, the windows machine usually logs in with one or two
dial out attempts and stays on line as long as it is not idle for too
long.
I suspect that the Modem Init String may not be correct. Does anyone
have an init string that works well with a ZOOM modem Model 2949 and
RedHat SPARC Linux?
Using the Network Configurator I set up the following on the SPARC 5:
Use hardware flow control
Abort connection on well known errors
Allow any user to (de)activate interface
Line speed: 38400
Modem Port: /dev/modem
Modem Init String: AT&F
Modem Dial Command: ATDT
Phone Number: my ISP’s number
Expect Send
(left blank) ""
x: 2
e: my user name
d: my password
TIMEOUT 5
~--
Set default route
Restart PPP
no connection: 60
broken connection: 60
MRU: 1500
MTU: 1500
Local IP: (left blank)
Remote IP: (left blank)

Hmm, i'd still have to say that Mac's, and
other commercially produced OS's, still offer more
support for audio/graphics apps.
Just my two cents but i'll always have a
second win95 machine around for doing sound editing
and graphics manipulation. At this point Linux is
still lacking.

I think the problem is Netmask. I think you have a Netmask of
255.255.255.0 and so, your IP-numbers are in two different
subnets. The first one is the subnet 192.168.16.0 and the
other on is 192.168.18.0
Choose an Ip-number of 192.168.16.2 for your second
machine and it runs. Never choose the IP-number x.y.z.0
for a machine because the .0 is the number of the subnet.
(That is correct for a netmask of 255.255.255.0)
If you ping to the subnetnumber you get an answer of every
machine connected to this subnet. (No problem to try it!)
The 2nd way is to change the netmask of both machines to
255.255.0.0 or 255.0.0.0 but I would prefer the other way.

Hi Jack,
You can use as many IP addresses as you want. But they have to be on the
same subnet:
192.168.16.1 and 192.168.16.2 are on the same subnet.
To get 192.168.16.1 and 192.168.18.1 to talk to eachother, you'll have to
play around with routing.
If you want the new mcahine to have 192.168.18.1 as an address because
you're just experimenting and don't want to mess around with your "real"
network, try adding the additional IP 192.168.18.2 to the first machine.
Multiple addresses per interface works fine. that way the first machine will
be on both subnets.

: PS2 To Use Linux OS

: At the Game Developers Conference yesterday, Sony's VP of Third-Party
: Realations and Development, Phil Harrison, confirmed that the PlayStation 2
: will use a Linux operating system in order to sustain a, "Stable enviorment."
: This was applauded by the crowd of developers, publishers and other such
: people. In an obvious attack on Sega's "unstable" Windows CE OS, developers
: were more than happy to see the product being put to use in the next
: generation PlayStation. This makes the future even bighter for the PS2.
LOL!
This is going to be good.

OK, I agree with you that we don´t need another window manager.
Only with good applications will Linux be an alternative to Windows (for
most people). BUT: a good desktop and the hidden functionality it offers
will make developing and using applications easier. So Gnome is
definetely the
way to go (I am not so sure about KDE).

Then what would you call a "quality" application? Microsoft Office?

Subject: Migrate to Linux?
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 16:49:13 GMT
Hello there. I have been experimenting with RH Linux for some time
now, and seem to have gotten to a situation where I have nearly got
everything up and running under Linux as I have under Win98. Except
the Twain scanner! (Plugs into the parallel printer port) Anyone any
suggestions? I am using a Winchip
200 cpu, and RH 5.2 with a 2.2.0 kernel. If I could get the scanner
working under Linux then I have the strong possibility of a 100%
migration to Linux.
This has been my idea all along. Also does anyone know how to
change the delete key under Linux? Under Win98 word processors I can
just backspace over a letter to delete it, but using a WP under Linux
I have to back arrow before the letter to be deleted and then press
delete. Only a small thing I know but its one of those things. ( This
is under X windows using currently Staroffice 5.)
Anyone else done a 100% migrate from Windows to Linux on a permanent basis?
