I am looking at buying a multi-port hub for my laptop (to act as a

contain the combination of serial/parallel/PS2/USB ports that I'm
looking for.
* Belkin - DockStation
* Mobility EasiDock 200
* Targus - Mobile Port Replicator
I realise that USB is not really supported in the Linux kernel until
2.4.x but I don't know enough about USB to understand whether USB
hubs
need to have drivers written especially for them or whether it is
just the devices that I want to connect to the hub will need to have
drivers available for them.
Any comments or suggestions to help with the decision (including
other hubs that I haven't come across would be appreciated.

I have two hard disks.
Each off two separate DMA66 Controllers. Primary one has Win2K. Secondary
one has Suse Linux 6.4.
I can install Linux fine. During the Linux install, I requested a boot
floppy.
However, if I attempt to use the boot floppy the system stops at "LI".
Thanks,

Just as a snap judgment, it looks like you've lost the card. The bootup

I'm setting up Slackware Linux 7 with kernel 2.3.99-pre3. My modem is an
external Zoom 56K which I got specifically because I heard it's compatible
with Linux. It works fine in Windows. I can connect with minicom, but when
I try to download a binary file, I get a bunch of CRC errors and it fails.
When I try to connect with pppd, my script connects but then times out
sending LCP requests. I've tried using hardware, software, and bare
flow control. I've tried using three different accounts: Earthlink, my
school, and another. Nothing works. Can someone please help me?!?

Gene Heskett sends Greetings to Sarah ;
If there are Unix networks, there can be Linux networks,
right?
AFAIK, there is no such thing as a 'Unix' network. Unix, like linux,
macos, amigados, windows, qnx, even the lowly dos, are all operating
systems for computers. _Some_ of them may have a TCP/IP capability
built into them, like Unix and such.
Any of these operating systems can be networked to each other with the
right protocols and hardware. Some operating systems do not have all
the network protocols available, so normally one choses the most widely
used protocol to do the actual networking with, in this case I'd suggest
that TCP/IP be used on all machines. NetBIOS (aka Samba) can also be
used for file and device shareing, something that TCP/IP doesn't do as
easily. Most treat Samba as a plugin for the TCP/IP stack already
running.

SupraExpress 56i PRO has many versions, only one of them is winmodem.
If it doesn't work on Linux you've probably chosen the lucky one. Is
the product number 2560? If so you're just as lucky as me.. go and get
a replacement!
Check this out, a very useful winmodem site:

Hello All,
trying to install RedHat on machine mentioned above - 64MB RAM, Pentium 200
processor, integrated Tulip NIC, 1GB SCSI HDD om integrated Adaptec. I have
distribution on local ftp. Seems to be no problem until it attempts to
install bootloader (or create boot disk). Setup fails with the following
message:
An error occured during step "Install bootloader" of the install.
You may retry that step... and so on.
I tried setting "Use linear mode..." which advised as probable cause for
some SCSI disks, chosen MBR or first sector of the boot partition as place
to install bootloader without success.
Any ideas?
Thnx,
Igor

My Machine: FIC 2013, AMD K6-2 300Mhz, 128Mb RAM, DPT 2044UW Scsi Host
adapter, IDE drive, SCSI hard drive and CDROM drive
I currently have DOS6.22 (on a IDE drive) and RH5.2 (on a SCSI drive)
installed. Both work fine in my system.
I tried installing RH 6.0 on the IDE drive. I booted DOS first and then
tried executing autoboot.bat in e:\dosutils\autoboot.bat.
The install immediately aborted because it could not find the initrd.img
file. The problem seems to be that autoboot.bat has a line like this:
loadlin autoboot\vmlinuz initrd=..\misc\src\trees\initrd.img
initrd.img is not there in the directory mentioned above. In fact it
resides in the dosutils\autoboot directory. In the misc\src\trees
directory there are these files instead:
initrd-l.img (dos name)
initrd-n.img (dos name)

We also manufacture a serial card which can set baud rates of over One Mega
Baud, the product is the BlueHeat/PCI. And Yes is does work! Your question
about maximum cable length is interesting.
I can tell you that the maximum cable length is limited by the quality of
the cable you use and such factors as cable shielding and capacitance are
very important. The lower the capacitance the better.
As a rule of thumb I reccomend a maximum length of 100,000 feet
divided by the baud rate. For 115Kbaud, that's a very short cable,
though :-)I've used 19200 baud on a poor quality cable of about
200m with very few problems.
In my experience, data corruption depends more on the environment than
the baud rate. For example, RS-232 doesn't like arc-welding nearby.
