Re: [expert] winmodems

2001-01-26 Thread faisal

with all do respect to your opinion  i have seen most
people turn linux down cause they dont have a linux supported modem & they
dont want to spen extra buck & external modem for linux so they stick to
windows ...
if linux is aiming for people homes then maybe people sholud think diffrent.
i used winmodems my windows machine & i am sorry to say that i have not find
any problem with them in fact if you come to look @ it they are very very
cheap.

It's on the Mandrake CD's. If you run the software manager and searchfor bastille, you'll find it. It's sort of GUI, but is really just aseries of questions with lots of explanatory text, to allow you to setup firewall rules without needing to know much. It also takes youthrough other possibilities of making your system more secure bydisabling known security holes, like telnet (if you want it too).The main part has probably already been installed on your system, butprobably not the "interactive" bit. You'll see something in softwaremanager called bastille-tk-module (close to that anyway). Install thatand you'll be set. Then just become root and type the command:InteractiveBastillejust as it appears above.cheersBrianOn Sun, 2002-04-21 at 22:18, faisal gillani wrote:> > thanks for the reply freind  just help me a little more & tell me what is this InteractiveBastille> is ti present in the default installation of mandrake ? mandrake cd ? tell me where i can find it ?> also is it GUI ?> > thanks> Faisal> Brian Parish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: OK - no problem.
