If you are talking about X, edit your XF86Config file. I can't remember
the exact syntax off hand, but the man page should get you started.

Subject: Re: ADSL via serial ports
I've never really heard of a serial port based ADSL solution. It would
seem that the 115K top speed of the com port would be something of a
limiting factor. you'll have to find out what protocol they are using.
if it is ppp, I don't forsee any problems because ppp over a com port is
how you would connect a modem. I'm not sure what the command set might
be to the adsl device. You wouldn't need pppoe (PPP over ethernet)
unless you are using an ethernet card.

Are you using the USB modem or the pccard modem? the USB modem emulates
a AT command set. some of the pccards do too, others work like a NIC.
Just create a dial-up session like any other modem. Unfortunantely,
I've never used Ricochet under linux.

Linux supports several different filesystems through kernel modules.
I'm not sure what type of filesystem HPUX uses, but you could look at
the different options available in the kernel sources.

OK, did all that. I edited Makefile and changed HOSTCC to "kgcc" and
did the make mrproper first. I get exactly the same errors. Lots of
warnings about not getting valid pre-processing tokens, and the same
"badly punctuated paremeter list" errors at the end, with no vmlinuz.

Did you un-mute the channels? By default, alsa mutes all output channels.
You can fix this with xmixer or amxier.

I don´t know mandrake. But it should come along with several packages

use a boot disk (1.44 or original cd...something like that) and you enter
repair mode or whatever your installer offers. if you don't have one, then
you should be able to get a boot disk (image) of some linux dist from the
internet. you boot from that and reset up lilo (access your old partitions
if necessary or just build a new lilo.conf on the disk and use that.
that should work.

Are you sure ? I'm pretty damn sure it doesn't. See below.
I just got my CRW8432IA, and after 6 hours of debugging I found out
that this drive has a firmware incompatibility that at least the CRW1032A
has, too.
When being told to do a simulation burn, it doesn't switch back to a *real*
burn after being told so !!
And this is where the problem begins:
cdrecord has to do a simulation burn first in order to get the next write
address returned from drive. (see "Dirty Hack" in cdrecord.c).
And after that it tries to start the real burn, but the drive
doesn't switch back.
Removing the "Dirty Hack" helps greatly.
Blanking disks wasn't affected by that, though.
And of course there seems to be even some Windows software out there
that has the very same problem: nothing gets written.
I already notified Acer support yesterday, but I didn't get a reply yet.
I already contacted the cdrecord maintainer, Joerg Schilling, about that,
too, but so far it wasn't too helpful.
We'll see :)
