I am forwarding this to a couple of lists, Maybe someone can help?
** Reply to note from Jonathan Sprague <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sat, 23 May 1998 08:12:03 -0500 Jonathan, this is further to my last message where I looked pretty hopeless. Well I still am hopeless but at least I am including what I have been working on. Maybe if you had something to see, it might make it easier to tell me what might be wrong.. I list below all the files I have worked with to get this SLIP link into Linux in order to get it to talk to the InterNET. I have read and reread the appropriate HOW-TO docs and what follows is the result of that. I however do not have success yet, and ask that you point me in the right direction - if you don't mind. I should also point out that I already have a Linux Slip link set up for TNOS and Linux. That works and I wonder if that could be causing a problem. Ok, here are my files: /etc/hosts/ # # hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address # mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly # used at boot time, when no name servers are running. # On small systems, this file can be used instead of a # "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses # and any aliases to this file... # # By the way, Arnt Gulbrandsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> says that 127.0.0.1 # should NEVER be named with the name of the machine.

If you could provide some advice as to how to get the right things to come up when I usse MINICOM to go in to the internet and drop Minicom off and enter pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyS6 38400 & I enter ifconfig at this point and all I see is the 'lo' and 'sl0' statements which come from the Linux to Tnos arrangement. Hopefully I can work things out so that I can get by this problem and get this Linux 'thingy' to let me dial into the InterNET.. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide. Pretty lonely out here when noone is interested in Linux. Ted Gervais 05/28/98 06:45pm [EMAIL PROTECTED] Coldbrook, NS Canada 902-679-2253
