Are you sure that you need a VT320 emulator? Most software of this ilk is
happy with a VT200 emulator, or even a VT100 emulator. The VT320 is a
superset of the VT100/200, but most software on VMS is geared toward the 100
or 200. Actually, most software on VMS is geared toward ANSI compilant
terminals, which the 100/200/300 are.
If you're using the X Window System, then "xterm" is probably sufficient for
your needs. Just start up an xterm, and telnet from there. I believe that
the Linux console is also sufficient.

This very true. Specifically I have RoadRunner service and they advertised
the speed difference: 192Kbps upstream and 1.5 MBps downstream. In general
for basic to average users (a very large population on the internet now
days), this is the case (ca. 10:1).
For folks who want to do more uploads, you're on the wrong side of the

I've also had this. it said, loading linux and reboot immediatly. If you DO
have a clean source rerun your configuration, and turn off all hardware
'bugfixes.' Chances are you won't have the bugs they fix anyway. Once i did
that, it booted fine. Hope it helps

Thanks to Phil, Stefano Del Cont and everyone else.
Seems the problem, at least with using the same module for both NIC's,
is to do with the base address and irq. I set up my /etc/conf.modules
as follows
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x320,0x300 irq=5,10
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x300,0x320 irq=10,5
The above may be belt and braces but at least it works and I can see
both network cards! Yahoo! A good end to the week.
Thanks again everybody.
Cheers

True, Appletalk is chatty, but Netatalk with SMB will work smoothly together.
This shouldn't be an issue.

Subject: IP Masquerading with Red Hat 5.2
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 18:45:06 -0500
Can anyone give me some sort of direction on setting up IP Masquerading on
Red Hat 5.2? I am new to Linux and this is my first attempt at doing
anything with it and so far it has resulted in an endless search of HTML
documents that all point to another document.
I need to take my machine that has two ethernet cards, connect one card to
the wireless 256K internet connection we have (I have done this and accessed
the web with no problem) then I need to connect the other network card to an
internal network of the 192.168.1.xxx variety. I have setup the second
network card as 192.168.1.1 and connected it to a hub, then I connected a a
windows98 machine numbered 192.168.100 to the hub but I can not ping the
192.168.1.1 machine from this machine. If I reconfigure the Windows98
machine to our other network and connect it to the internet, I can ping the
Linux machine from the internet on its adapter marked 209.198.17.41. I am at
somewhat of a loss on how to trouble shoot this. I have the HOWTO dated
February 7, 1999, but I don't really see a troubleshooting guide with it. I
have enabled IPV4 routing in Red Hat. Is there any routing information that
needs to be added in the Network Configurator to make this work? I didn't
see anything about routing tables in the HOWTO, only the ipfwadm and I used
the most liberal setting available there just to try and get it working.
Any help would be appreciated. I was hoping to not have to go to the NT
Proxy Server package, but since I set that up in an hour at another location
and I have little time as it is it is looking more likely.

Hello !
I have a question about multicast address.
I would like to know how the multicast address to be assigned in the
Internet.
Is there any reserved address zone for multicast ? if so, how can the
group assign it's own address for multicast communication ?
Could you explain how multicast address should be assigned in the
Internet ?
And is there something to do in the router for multicast communication
?
I wll appreciate your any response.

Are there any programs/services like DynIP available for linux ??

There's this attitude that if you're not doing anything wrong, then you
shouldn't worry about lack of privacy. That's wrong; here are examples.
- Do you want potential thieves to know that you're going on vacation?
Do you want them to be able to find what alarm company you subscribe to,
if any?
- Do you want your competitor to know about the product you're developing,
or the employee you're thinking of hiring? In fact, executives who
fly private planes are now bitching about a public database that lets you
type in the number of a plane and retrieve its current flight path.
- Are you so sure that you're innocent? Here's what local police often
do to trap men in alleged rape cases. The woman says it was rape; the man
says it was consensual. The police are quite sympathetic to the man, and
ask him to describe what actually happened, in great detail. Then they
charge him with sodomy in addition to rape. Since he admitted to sodomy,
which is often still illegal but few people know that, he hasn't a chance,
even if the sex was consensual.

Hi folks,
I've got some problems telnetting to a host over the network. _After_ I
entered my login name and password, there's a 60 seconds delay before I
get my shell prompt. The same occurs after su'ing root (and entering the

I already found a lot of hints that delays occuring _before_ the login
prompt have to do with DNS timeouts. But, my DNS seems to work fine...
Any ideas?

Hi all,

The driver worked, under kernel 2.0.36. However, i can't get it to

like SLOW_DOWN_IO not defined, dev_tint not declared, etc. Maybe
someone that knows about drivers can fix it? I tried, but I know too
little about network drivers to understand how I need to fix it. If
anyone is interested email me.
