Subject: Netscape goes to sleep
Date: Tue, 02 Mar 1999 11:52:23 -0600
When I'm on line with netscape 4.0 in Linux suse 5.3 Netscape seems to
go to sleep. I can pick up the phone, the line is still connected, but I
hear the beeping and other noises that go with connecting to the net. Is
there some setting that I've missed?
Another problem that I'm experiencing is that Netscape doesn't
disconnect when I close the program. The only way to disconnect is to
close Linux. Hope someone can help. No experience with Linux so please
keep any answers simple. Thank you.

Hi all,
I have a 3Com 56K Voice Faxmodem Ext. Eversince I installed the modem, I
could no longer connect to internet under Linux (kernel 2.0.36 and 2.2.x).
After the modem finished dialing to my ISP, it acted as if it's connected,
but when I checked using route and ifconfig, there's no ppp0 device. It
never happened before when I was still using Sportster 33k internal. Please
mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cheers,
Ed

Sound can be configured without getting the card set up in PnP? I had thought
that before I could do ANY monkeying around with sound drivers, I had to get
the thing set up in PnP first. Am I mistaken?

Subject: Port redirection in C question
Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 21:00:03 -0500
Is there a/what is the system call in Linux (from C) to redirect an INET
socket request to a socket server listening on a different port?
For instance, say you have a socket server listening on port 2000 and a
different socket server listening on port 2001. A socket connection request
from a client shows up at port 2000. How can the socket server listening on
port 2000 send the request to the socket server listening on port 2001?
I can think of one way to do this: let the client connect to the server on
port 2000, have the server on port 2000 send it the port number to connect
to, then have the client disconnect from the server on port 2000 and
reconnect to the server on port 2001.
Is there a way to accomplish the same effect without having the network
round trip? (I think there is, I just don't know it!)
Please respond via email as well as posting if you would be so kind.
Thanks and regards,

Subject: Faxing with mgetty+sendfax (.gs to .g3 translation?)
Date: 3 Mar 1999 02:26:26 GMT
I'm trying to get us to where we can output a Ghostscript file from
StarOffice or Netscape or whatever and then invoke a CGI program which
I'll write (calling however many translation programs I need to in series
to get it going) to translate a file.gs to file.g3 so it can be faxed.
The intermediate steps of .g3 to .pbm, and .pbm to .xbm, are fine, so I
could even use something that translates from .gs to any of those formats.
I have a niggling feeling that Ghostview might be able to do some of this,
but, I haven't found anything on it in the docs.
The idea behind it all is to end up with the benefits of mgetty+sendfax
(ie, being able to use the same line as dial-out, dial-in and fax-in) with
the ability to fax documents from our .gs outputting office apps .
If I'm going about this in a completely stupid way, please let me know :).

These comments are most likely false. I have done som very interesting things
with my cable modem. Currently, I have 2 registered IP address's from TCI
being used on 2 different machines using 1 cable modem. I have also used 2
machines proxied through 1 machine and even cheated and used a made up address
(not recommended as it could cause you to have your access revoked) and all of
these worked fine.
Do some research. Talk to cable modem customers like me. I am thinking about

It depends on where it's going.
If you can trust your users not to be idiots, go for a terminal emulator
on DOS or Linux. C-Kermit is available for both and does the job quite
nicely.
If the terminal is in any sort of public space, your best option is
probably a Termtek TK-625. Turn them on, hit RETURN and you've got a
login prompt. They're configurable to a number of different text
resolutions and terminal types.
We use them at the company I work for. They survive some pretty horrid
conditions.
> 2. Where do I get one, cheap, preferably in Germany?
No idea about Germany. http://www.termtek.com.tw/TK-625.htm has info on
the terminal though. There's probably a link somewhere at that site for
purchase info.

Has anyone bought a copy of WP8 that actually included the fonts? I'm

fonts except the ones that also came with the free download. I contacted
corel, and they sent me a second CD that contained more clipart than I
could ever use but still contained NO FONTS. Corel has been giving me the
runaround about it. Even the people at technical support who acknoledge
the problem have no idea when Corel is going to get around to correcting
it. So, I was wondering if there are copies of it out that contain the
fonts, so I can circumvent the mess that is Corel technical support,
return the copy I have, and buy a new one.

Or, maybe you compiled this card as a module. If so, you'll need to update
your /etc/conf.modules so that an alias points to this module. The alias name
is eth0 if I remember correctly and I have no clue what the module would be
called, but you should be able to determine that by poking around in
/lib/modules/. The module name should be something like ne1000.o or something
similar. Then you put the line
alias eth0 ne1000
in your /etc/conf.modules. If you didn't compile it as a module, then
nevermind.

Correct me if I am wrong, but to obtain an actual copyright on
something, you have to register it with some authority? Probably,
some government?
I have been told that you can copyright something simply by saying
copyright all over it, however, I don't know how that would hold in
a court of law.
That being said, how many parts of any given distribution of Linux
have real copyrights? I would venture to guess that much of GPL'd
software out there is not really copyrighted.
I do not claim to know law, or programming, for that matter. I do
not practice law; rather, I offer my opinions from a point of view
that I believe to be [very] slightly more informed than those who
ask.

Are you sure you have a ppp connection?
What is in your /etc/resolv.conf file?
can you ping any of the IP addresses in the /etc/resolv.conf file
can you ping 137.82.43.58?
If none of those work, you do not have a ppp connection.
See
axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html for detailed instructions.
