Re: Serial connection to windoze box

[j way]

Hi,
After many mistakes, defective cables, and a lot of help from these
people,
I have login to my Slink box from a Win95 box. I have:
A null modem 9-pin mini cable about 10 meters long.
HyperTerminal on Win95
(windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Hyper
Terminal\hypertrm.exe)
Direct to COM4
vt100 emulation
9600, 8, None, 1 stop, hardware | None flow ctrl

At Slink end, /etc/securetty added lines: ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS3 below
tty12
/etc/inittab: removed comment # from
 T1:23:respawn/sbin/getty -L ttyS1
9600 vt100

A click on Send will download a file of your choice to the pwd directory
on Linux.
Hope this helps. -jw

Remote Login

[j way]

Hi, again.
I tried the suggestions provided( tnx) but without change. My login
looks like this at the remote terminal:

Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Struggles ttyS1
Struggles login: jway
Password: (keyed in)
(time passes.)
Login timed out after 60 seconds.
Any more suggestions?  Thanks. -John.

Remote Login

[j way]

Hi, login from ttyS1 is rejected while the same username  password are
accepted
on the main console.  Is there some further permission required to
enable?
Thanks for any help,  John.

Box-box file transfer

[j way]

Is there a way to transfer files between a Slink  Win95 machine using a
serial null-modem cable?
I don't want to tie up two phone lines with modems.  Something similar
to the (msft) Interlnk perhaps.  Tnx.

Re: Newbie needs help on X win!!!

[j way]

 I just install slink and all of the packages that I need. Now I want
 installl X window but I don't know which packages to install. Can you guys
 give me a list of packages I should Install to get X window working. I
 don't want anything fancy yet, right now I just want ordinary X window and
 maybe with file manager like Gnome or something.


If you look in Packages for xbase or xbase-clients,
you will see a list of dependencies.  You will also need
a monitor driver (vga or svga or something).  If you install these
with dselect, other dependencies may arise.  Satisfy them as they
come up.  Some of the packages listed in xbase are:
rstart, rstartd, twm, xbase-clients, xdm, xfree86-common, xfs,
xlib6g, xlib6g-dev, xmh, xproxy, xserver-common, xsm  xterm.
When you get it running, you may purge xbase.
Stay with it, X is a great system. -jw

X Login Fails

[j way]

I have installed X windows for the first time on slink.  The X login
prompt box appears, but after keying the password the system reports
login incorrect.  I'm locked out.  Suggestions? (short of reloading
linux  the entire 7500 files.)  Any backdoor boot options?  J. Way
