Re: TigerJet ISDN under Linux ?
If your friend uses KDE then tell him to download and install KISDN. This program will auto detect the card (ofcourse, if he compiled the ISDN as modules), and it will run smoothly Hetz Ilya Konstantinov wrote: A friend of mine has recently got Linux from me, but he wasn't able to setup his dial-up connection to NetVision using his ISDN card he uses fine under Windows 98. Is anyone here using a TigerJet ISDN card under Linux? Could it be that the card actually uses someone other's chipset so it can be supported via some generic driver (just as RealTek 8029 supported with ne2k-pci.o ?) ? www.tigerjet.com is bragging about being MS Windows NT compatible (and that's not too promising :) -- Toastie = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, I don't know what you consider simple, but I've known people to lose their heads about installation of sshd :-) In any case, I don't belive that they will start charging for things that take about 2 minutes to give you a pointer and lead you the way. Second, I think that what they are trying to establish is a support center for business use. For example, a business that has a linux based server or servers installation, and they might need help with it. For example, lets take a very simple office that wants to have its own domain name, mail server, FW but they don't want to pay for 8 IP addresses, and they have about 20 PC's. So that business would need help configuring IP Masq, FW, Sendmail, sshd, ftp, and apache. On a very simple installation process, from our point of view as Linux experts (if we can call ourselves expert, I don't like the superlative my self), may look in the eyes of the customer as a virtually impossible task. Also, need I remind you that a lot of companies use linux cause it doesn't cost money, but they pay heaps of money for a pay/kill administrator (such as myself or other people on the list). In their case, the support center would be a cheap and efficient way to deal with small problems, that don't require a linux "expert", so to speak. I know that I sound like I'm pro Netvision, but I'm really not. I'm very supportive to any firm who would offer Linux support. I admit that actcom were the first (I think), and amir is a good friend of mine (we've been working on Linux Installation parties in the Technion for 2 years now).

Project Proposal (was: Re: SOT: regarding linux-unfriendly ISPs)
Suggestion for a project for a youngster who is looking for a niche which would give him satisfaction, fame and riches: How about developing PPP configuration scripts for the other distributions? Then the Technical Support would need only to tell the newbie to download the script from their Web site and run it and answer its questions (of course, presented in a nice GUI - which Tk and Python can easily provide). Someone with close connection to Technical Support (enough to hear about commonly-occurring problems) can utilize the information to improve the scripts to recognize common problems (such as failure to install an essential package) and solve them automatically (of course, after getting confirmation from the user!).

MD5 passwords on Caldera
Just got Caldera 2.3 ( Calanit sells it ). It is very nice and easy installation. But it have a problem - It is not preconfigured to use MD5 passwords ( which I run n a NIS server ). It gets the passwords from the NIS server but does not understand that they are in MD5 format ( and in shadow on NIS, another beast, but this works ) The thing responsible for it is PAM. I tried to play with PAM configuration and different versions of PAM, but to no avail. Caldera website is a mess.

Your idea in it self is wonderful, but I see a small snag about it. In general terms, all login scripts for all ISPs in Israel should be the same. As they are all compatible to the Windows 95 login scheme. If we are to take ISDN connections for example, I've configured kisdn with no special parameters, and it worked like a charm both connecting to Actcom, Netvision, Internet Gold and the Technion, without changing anything. Now, as far as I can recall, each of the X-windows envs, has it's own modem and dial-up configuration program that users can use. But the real problem isn't getting them connected via that tool, the problem is as follows. Imagine the following Tech support phone call: Tech: Hello, how may I help you ? Cust: Hi there, I would like to configure my modem under RedHat 6.0. Tech: Are you currently running in X-Windows ? Cust: No, I can't start my X, it says something about a missing X-Server. I don't have an X-Server in my network. Tech: No, No, and X-Server is . you need to install it. What is your display adapter ? Cust: Oh, I have blah-blah-blah Tech: Oh, I'm sorry, that card isn't supported yet by linux. Ok, lets try a generic blah-blah-blah Cust: Tech: Cust: Ok, I got X going. Now what ? Tech: well, you need to install the blah-blah-blah.rpm Cust: rpm ? I didn't buy a motor, I bought a Linux box, blah-blah-blah Tech: ... Cust: ... Tech: did you install dialup support in your Linux box ? while you were installing it ? Cust: Ah No. I thought it ment that I let other people connect to my modem. At this point the Tech-guy would most probably go crazy, after sending over 30 minutes understanding the customer. So, as I said before, nothing is simple. Never say that it is simple, cause no matter how simple it is to you, cause you are used to one thing, you never know what you might find. What would eventually happen is that ISPs would create their own customized Linux distributions. For example, lets take Actcom, they will make a few distributions for their clients, one as a workstation, one as a dial-up mail server, etc, etc, etc which at this point, seems like the best idea that I could think of.

I had the same problem 1.5-2 years ago with slackware 3.5. If i'm not mistaken it comes out with pppd-2.2.3 witch is bit buggy, try to install the latest pppd and try your configuration again. If that will not work feel free to mail me in private. send me your /etc/ppp/options file, chat-script and the script you run (or command line) when you start the connection.

Netvision support for Linux issues?
Hi, Where did u see that Netvision officially support Linux issues (besides PPP)? Any URL? I'm talking about the thing someone said here - something like they support MS products. Oh, btw, they are not such a big supporters. MS Support in Israel (compared to Novell) simply SUCKS HARD. Call MS Israel and ask them a single question about NT. Oops - they don't officially support NT.. So who supports NT for customers who are not affiliated with Compaq? TEAM. Call Team and ask them something sirious (example - SQL and SMS connection, or something abotu ODBC) - Ooops - they donno what to answer.. The support here in Israel regarding MS products sux as I said. You can get help about something that can be found on the MS Technet, but nothing more complicated.. It just reminded me that when our company bought an SMP ready machine with 1 processor - the company (which I will not name here) said that in order to use SMP - they need to tell them NOW so the machine could work - the SMP only "works with 2 serial numbers follow". It took me 3 days to stop laughing.

Given the realities of Customer Support as presented by Nir (isn't it wonderful to have access to someone who actually knows what is going on with customers? :-) ), I am amending my suggestion so that PPP configuration scripts (and other technical support scripts) would have a version which doesn't need X-Window.
