DSL setup under Debian/GNU Linux with GNOME
Hello List, I have PIII, 800Mhz, 512MB RAM, with RTL-8139 lan-card and a ZXDSL-831D DSL modem with 256 kbps broadband connection. I was given IP address, default gateway address but NO DNS address, with a user name and password to connect to this DSL. Its PPPoE setup. I could easily manage that under XP. I just 2 days ago installed Debian with GNOME, and not KDE. I tried to see if there was a way to setup/configure DSL, but could not. Could any one be kind enough to help/advice as what can I do.

Hardware Change .... How to update
Hi, Previously I had Lucent winmodem, which is NOT supported in GNU/Debian or any linux. So I have changed and brought 2 new: 1) Apache CONEXANT 2) US Robotics, which are both hardware based. Since my understanding of linux is that of novice, I assume that at the time of installation, debian detects hardware and lists them in some file. And unlike Windows, its NOT PnP. So I would like to ask: What must I do for my Debian to see new modem and install/use it for 56k connection? It is internal PCI-based. If in any case it might help, it is US Robotics, A-Modem/PCI, USR90-11, E124323.1 Your help is much appreciated. Thanks, - K PS: I have Debian 3.1 Sarge installed on my machine.

What exactly are you expecting Debian to do? If you are running a stock kernel, you probably only need to install the software you want to use with the modem and use it. I don't know your hardware, though. It's been some time since I had anything to do with modems. :) J. -- Thy lyrics in pop songs seem to describe my life uncannily accurately.

This one I disagree with. I've never heard a developer say ``I'm building this for server admins.'' It's always ``I'm building the best damn' GNU/Linux system there is.'', where ``best'' is defined as Free-est and most stable. This just happens to result in the distribution most useful for servers, but it's not built for them. I run it on my home computers, and feel no bias against that use. IANADBIUWAIWTDP* We shall release no Debian before its time. Debian Stable IS aimed for servers and not home computers. What I meant by what I said is that the reviews always aim themselves at Debian Stable, which is, let's call it, the server branch of Debian's three branches. But when people review Debian they compare Debian Stable against Ubuntu 6.10 (Or the upcoming 7.04, which isn't even OUT yet) and always say how Debian is an outdated distro. They fail to understand the Debian release cycle, and the way packages make their way through the three (Four if you count experimental) branches of Debian. In other words: Reviewers compare Debian stable against Ubuntu's beta releases, which is an unfair comparison.

Perhaps I'm missing the point ... can spam and viruses be rejected at SMTP time with fetchmail? SMTP? fetchmail is using POP3 to retrieve mails and rejection by exim before receiving them is pretty pointless. How is it pointless if you want your incoming mail (via getmail) scanned for viruses/spam along with any other mail received (via SMTP) by the system? Sorry, it does make sense in an environment where you receive mail via SMTP. But for the ones received via POP3 it's too late because they are already on your system
Internet Dial-up Connection Setting
Hi everyone, I have somewhat different problem. I use Lucent Dual Chipset modem which is on PCI slot 1 (under XP) at COM3. Additionally I have Realtek RTL8139 family PCI Fast Ethernet at NIC #1 2. Last night I installed Debian and skipped to configure internet setting later. Later when I tried, it gave error message /etc/resolv.conf is missing. Create with appropriate read and write permission. I dont know what this means, as I am new, and what should I do to configure and use internet. I tried man resolv.conf and from there I got the impression that either in the proporlly configured systems does not need it, or there are certain human readable params that might need fixing with proper values. I did vi resolv.conf and there was nothing - completely empty. Could anyone tell me in little detail what exactly I should be doing. Unable to get local expertise ont his matter made me to turn to this community. Thanks for understanding. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
