Subject: dial up/ignore voice calls/# of rings
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 1999 09:10:16 -0500
I am using uu_getty(2.07j-3) for dialin connectivity to my Linux 5.1
machine.
I have 2 questions:
Can I make uugetty ignore voice phone calls on the line? As it is now
when
someone calls the house the modem trys to talk. Useful for telepromoters
but
not for family members.
How do I set the number of rings to 5 rings?
Included is my /etc/conf.uugetty.ttyS2 file
INITLINE=cua2
ALTLOCK=cua2
TIMEOUT=60
INIT="" AT\r OK\r\n
WAITFOR=RING
CONNECT="" ATA\r CONNECT\s\A
DELAY=1
DEBUG=010
TIA

Forgive if this is a newbiew question, but I can't find the answer to this elsewhere.
Small home network with 3 linux boxes, 2 of which dual boot to Windoze so I have some
dos partions.
NFS runs ok, but when copying files to a dos partition on the NFS server I get error
message.
"Can't create file....". When done, I see a 0 byte file created on the destination
drive. If I then retry (using MC) it writes the file fine.
If I copy to an ext2 drive on the NFS server it works without a hitch.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I almost had the same buzz: the kernel did not detect my NE2000 ISA card
because I did not used
one of the standard address,IRQ that are autoprobed at boot.
I arranged this by adding a line
append "ether io=your_address, irq=your_interrupt, eth0"
in lilo.conf and then reinstall it.
Make sure to check the exact syntax with man , (I am not writing this on my
machine at home :-) )
Have fun

working fine(I can ping myself) but when I try using chat + pppd it says
"Bad local host: 127.0.0.1." And when I try it manually through minicom and
quit w/out resetting, pppd just sits there. Anyone know any online docs
other than the PPP and ISP Hookup HOWTOS? Anyone know how to connect

Hello all,
A friend of mine is trying to access the internet on her Linux
workstation via the NT-proxy on her network. This doesn't
seem to be possible because the Linux station doesn't logon

For under the hood probably any version would do for a workstation so
kernel consideration is any.
Other big points would be user interface. Each comes with different
window managers installed and extra support scripts to fire up and
manage them. For example RH has some nice scripts for 4 window managers
and excells in setting up fvwm but NO kde. So depending on what you
want to make available to your people would be a factor. Then again it
may not make much of a difference as you will probably be making a cd or
a master disk and in that case a specific release is not important. You
would cook up what you want taking the better features from each release
and make a CD/disk for download machines.
If you really are going to do this out of the box on individual
machines then RH is the only choice. Install is clean, support
available and most important is there are of users getting those errors
and weak spots found out so trip points are discovered/known and you can
find out about them in news. You will probably not have a problem that
not been mentioned in new several times before it happens to you. I
would bet that you could get most any support question answered by
searching the news days faster than you will get through RH support but
the others do not have "support".
From personal experience I would eliminate KDE and Gnome from a list
of options to install. KDE has too many problems and with a 100 users
you'd be 100% devoted to complaints about X freezes or cpu usage high
with only a few process running or memory problems etc. I use it here
as my main WM but I live with its shortcommings but average users will
be screaming with complaints. You'll probably have to experiment and
see what you user population wants to live with for a WM which will
dictate a bit of what your setup will require. But thats only a portion
and about all I can add other than some comments on the admin tools.
You preferences here will make a difference. There are several text
tools for admin'ing and semi-gui's and GUI's. You'll probably have to
seek them out and use them to see what you like etc et include it in a
build list if your burning a CD or see which releases encorporate the
most if the things you find desireable.

Yes, at least when you use ringback which is available in 2.07h ps_getty.
There was some blurb about doing away with ringback but it may not have
come to pass yet.
: How do I set the number of rings to 5 rings?
Ringback should be better. It's described in "man getty", look under
the section "RINGBACK=value".
This works for me:
# Ringback enable. One or two rings, then hangup and call back within
# 7 and 60 seconds.
RINGBACK=YES
MINRBTIME = 7
MAXRBTIME = 60
INTERRING = 6
MINRINGS = 1

Unfortunatly most employers in my experience have little interest in their
programmers writting maintainable, testable, or even correct code.
What they are more interesting in is programmers being able to produce
*something* in the time that has been scheduled.
Needless to say this is not a good thing, but most people soon learn
how to keep their employer happy even when they know that what
they are doing is not really in their best interests.

Most CDs you buy don't contain the latest kernel. Go to ftp.kernel.org and
get the latest stable kernel. There's a kernel HOWTO at

Hi,
I've been trying to get Linux working, some of it is some isn't, but one
thing i was hoping to get working, esp. since i have a winmodem (bluck)
is my Ethernet card (which also would get me onto a lan w/cable modem).
However, i have no /dev/eth0, or ethx at all. Linux knows its there,
here is select output from less /proc/pci
Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Intel 82596 (rev 3).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 10. Master
Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xee101000 [0xee101000].

Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xee100000 [0xee100000].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xee000000 [0xee000000].
I know the chipset for it is supported, and i think everything is ok, i
just need to get the device to show up in the /dev directory. I know i
could probably use mknod, but i don't know if its block or character, or
the major or minor revision numbers. Any ideas? Please email me at

Telnetting to the lpd port won't tell you too much. The "acid test"
for that is to do a "lpq -Pprinter -Slinux_box" on the "N"T box.
Probably you don't have the /etc/hosts.lpd file set up to include
the "N"T system. If that's the case, you'll get a "you don't have
permission" (or somesuch) message when you do the lpq.

None of the standard distributions supply an SMP-enabled kernel
out-of-the-box. You will need to install the kernel source RPMs,
and playing usual the usual kernel configuration game, uncomment the
line SMP=1 in the top-level Makefile. Compile kernel and modules,
install kernel and modules. If the modules are installed into
a different directory than your existing modules
you may need to do a few more things (take a look at /etc/rc/rc.sysinit
and see how it sets a symlink from /lib/modules/preferred to the
directory associated with the kernel you've actually booted).
Edit /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo. None of this is _too_ difficult,
but if you screw up it can waste a lot of your time.

Shouldn't be hard at all, since you're going to want to build a
new kernel anyway. Just replace the source code in
/usr/etc/linux-<whatever>/drivers/net with the new tulip.c.
(I've not done this, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.)

It is somewhat relevant to your install, since many of the big differences
between 2.0 and 2.2 kernels are associated with SMP. RH5.2 does not
ship with the 2.2 kernel, and I can't recall if that distribution is
"2.2 ready" (you need recent versions of certain libraries for your
system to function with a 2.2 kernel). You should be able to find
out what updates, if any, are necessary (from the RH site, probably).
I have heard that SMP is a configuration option just like any other
in the 2.2 kernels, no need to separately edit the Makefile.
I have been running dual-processor systems under the 2.0 series kernels
and it works just fine for our applications (large CPU-intensive jobs),
and it may be good enough for you too; it may be more convenient to wait for
RH6.0 (or 6.2!) and do an upgrade to get the 2.2 kernels.
Good luck!

Subject: Running MSDOS programs over PPP
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 1999 15:27:50 GMT
I have a working dial-in ppp service (using mgetty / mgetty+sendfax) that allows
me to telnet, ftp, etc into a Linux Server machine. I (also) have a working
SAMBA Server that appears in the 'neighborhood networking' of any/all Win9X
machines that are networked to the server (via eth0).
I have modified the '/etc/smb.conf' file so that SAMBA provides 'wins support'.
On the Win9X machine (that will be dialing into the Linux Server), I have
modified the TSP/IP (for the dial-up adapter) to show that the Linux Server (at
192.168.0.1) is going to provide WINS Resolution.
What I need to do is to dial into the server and see the SAMBA shares (so that I
can map a SAMBA share over to a drive letter) and run a MSDOS program (that is
stored on the Linux machine). Right now, it doesn't work.
When I dial into the Linux server, the Windows9X IP configuration program shows
that it knows that there is a Primary WINS Server, but shows that Wins Proxy is
disabled.
Where do I go (go a HOWTO or URL) to find that answers for what I need to do to
finish this project? TIA KAS

:) THANK YOU GOD!

:) My PPP connection is working.. but I still get the compressed-21 thing error
add the following to your /etc/conf.modules

alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
