I'm no great expert either, but I can tell you
about PPP (Point to Point Protocol). That is
the connection protocoll uesd by most ISP's.
AFAIK, all ISP's. I believe the command to
establish a dialed up PPP connection is PPPdial.
Anyway, do a man on PPP and PPPdial. IIRC There
is also a mini howto that will walk you through the
procedure.

Hi Gaiko,
I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Although my SCSI adapter is an
Adaptec AHA1540CF and I'm running RedHat.
My primary boot disk is an IDE and I thought I'd add an old SCSI control I
had lying around. I discovered after loading the kernel source that the
driver for the aha154x cards will only try to autodetect the cards at two
I/O addresses (0x330 and 0x334). After setting my card to use I/O address
0x334, I was able to load the driver manually using: insmod 1542 and then
manually mounting the attached drives.
For some reason the kernel will not automatically detect and load the
aha1542 driver during the boot process. I too always get the "zero scsi
hosts detected message" I even tried (without success) recompiling the
kernel to include SCSI support and the AHA1542 driver as built-in instead of
as modules.
Anybody here know what might be happening?

I'm running SuSe 6.1 and had the same problem with Adaptec 2906. I had
to compile the driver into the kernel. The module was never detected
on boot-up.

Works like a charm. Thanks for the info.
xhost + localhost BEFORE su'ing works great.
I was really confused why as "root" I couldn't xhost +. I had thought
root should be able to do anything. I guess not.

Hello all,
I was running a ipmasquerade network, with two machines I will call them
insideA, and insideB from inside accessing one internet connection on
machine I will call gatewayC. For some reason everything is sooo slow
lately. I mean from the two machines insideA/insideB accessing gatewayC
as well as machine gatewayC accessing the Internet. Trying to access the
web from insideA/insideB via gatewayC is just extremely slow. I tried
disabling most services on gatewayC and still things has not speed up.
I just moved to ipchains in hope of solving this problem, it didn't work.
The only other thing I am concerned of is that the machine has been
hacked into before while I left it on for a few days. ie last log showed
someone ftp'ed into it from an unknown location. Also log showed that
they tried to access start imapd2 repeatedly. They also attempted SYN packet
attacked at around the same time. Hopefully he didn't leave any running
funny program that bog down the system. :-)
I also suspect the hub that I am using maybe defective but have no extra
hub to test out this theory.
Are there any tools out there that will show me where the bottle neck might
be? like whether it is the hub? or the linux box itself?
I appreciate any help in resolving this mess. Please email if possible.

I have Seagate TapeStor 8GB Travan internal IDE drives on several Linux

The Seagate drives work fine with tar and BRU.
So does the HP, but the HP can't read the tapes made on the Seagates.
Also xbru works well with the Seagates on S.u.S.E. 6.1 but xbru takes

I avoid external tapes drives - there's a definite loss of speed.

Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 09:33:45 -0500
I am having trouble with setting my PATH at login. If I can figure out
where it cones from, I might be able to fix it. Is there a way to track
the sequence of files that are read in at login? I know the sequence of
files that are supposed to be read at login, but I am not convinced that
the standard sequence is being followed, so I need a way to be sure.
For instance, I tried putting a couple of "echo" commands in the
/etc/profile file, but didn't get any output. When I put "echo"
commands in ~/.bashrc, however, I do get the output I expect.
One more thing to show you what a newbie I am: Is the PATH saved
somehow at logout?
Thanks.

The most risky item is the modem. If this is what is called a winmodem
(quite possible if it is an internal one) then it will never work under
_any_ operating system other than windows. Other posts
recently have pointed to a site showing modem types that will work with
Linux, try searching
dejanews (deja.com).
> 4. How to install software downloaded into Linux?
If the software comes as an rpm package (i.e. file name ends in '.rpm'
the RedHat package
manager (RPM) will do it for you (once you have Linux running try typing
'man rpm'. Other
software is more complex and may need to be compiled on your system.
Look for a README or
INSTALL file where you download the software from.

The response Juergen gave in c.e.m.w is correct, that message by itself
cannot
cause a program to exit with no messages at all. Are you sure there are
no other messages ?
try running with trace on (e.g. wine -debugmsg +all
c:\\windows\\write.exe). If this still
shows you nothing meaningful repeat that but directing the results to a
file and post the last
500 lines here.
Have you read the debugging document that comes with wine ?

The handling of CGI POST is roughly equivalent to the mainframe
"thing" where you press "enter" on a 327x screen, and the terminal
blocks together all the changes you made into a single block,
transmitting this to the mainframe.
There is the difference that mainframes tend to be virtually hardwired
to respond to this, whereas web servers often spawn a Perl process to
handle each and every CGI request. High performance web servers don't
do it that way...

Probably not. I have Caldera 2.2 and it appears the Partiton Magic
included is very limited. It only runs in Windows and only lets you
create a Linux partition of (a) 300 MB, (b) 1.0 GB, or (c) all free space
minus 100 MB. I couldn't use it because I don't have Win 9x.
Fortunately, I have Partition Magic 2.x for OS/2 and created partitions
with it.

That will _not_ force vt100 emulation. It will cause the pseudo
terminal device to be configured correctly for a vt100 and it
may send vt100 initialization strings to the terminal emulator
on the host machine from which the telnet session originates
(which probably will have virtually no effect whatever).
It will also be done for xterms run under X, which also use
pseudo-terminals.
What it does NOT do is the precise thing that is really needed,
which is set the TERM variable to something which matches the
capabilities of the terminal emulator! If the command were
"tset -sQ vt100" it will set the TERM variable, but I'm not
certain that is actually the whole problem.
The right approach is to get the TERM variable set to an
appropriate name and see that the TERMCAP or TERMINFO (judging
by the error messages above, elm uses TERMCAP) database entry
for that terminal matches the actual capabilities of the
emulator which is used by the orginating telnet program.
The first question is what is the TERM variable being set to,
and does the TERMCAP database on that system have an entry
for it (or is there even a TERMCAP database?)

There's a telnet variant for Linux called ztelnet which supports Zmodem

wants to charge arms and legs if I stayed online for more than 16
hours a day.
Just a reminder. I had a hacker trying to get lewd newsgroups
through leafnode, Not olnly did I set host.deny and host.allow
correctly now. but I wrote a sed script that Removed any suspicious
groups from the groupinfo file. I would welcome anyone to view my ftp
site. but right now uploading is disabled. I am TRYINg to figure it
out and wu-ftpd is just too much to handle. I also need to redo my web
page (thats offline also). only downloading ftp files anonymously
should be working.

Subject: Where and how to start kernel modules at boot up?
Date: 8 Aug 1999 15:23:13 GMT
I am running RedHat 6.0.
I am starting the following modules in rc.local:
# Starting sound driver
modprobe snd-audiopci1370
modprobe snd-pcm1-oss
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore
# Start cdrom drives
modprobe ide-scsi
Everything is working, and working well with this config,
but is there a preferred way to start modules? Are they
normally started in conf.modules? I'm a bit confused
about how modules shoud be started at boot up. All advice
appreciated...

Netscape Gold 3.04 & Netscape 4.05 for Linux had no problems for me.
