[LIH] Hoaxes or true ?
Hi all, I heard that MS is going to make their own Linux distribution. Is it true or a hoax ? Also, I heard MS has 'bought' Java hence Visual Basic is fast going to overcome Java. I wonder what that means. I didn't get head or tail of these two news. Anyone can clear ?

Re: [LIH] Connection problem in pulse system
Well, here it goes - We are trying to dial-up to an ISP from a remote location where the telephone system is pulse dialing (I am told the switching system used is C-DOT, whatever that means). Whereas on the city where the ISP is, the system is dial tone. I am first trying to connect from minicom and have failed to get a stable connect. Now when we dial (pulse dial) the modem most of the time does not detect dial-tone, or when it does detect and dials, connection is not established or if connection is established, I get the ISP login prompt rarely and most of the time I get lot of garbages. I changed terminal settings and it doesn't seem to help. When I do get login prompt and login successfuly (rarely), the connection is lost or PPP doesn't start properly. All these problem are present only from there. So I guess the problems may be related to line quality. Once, a technician told me that setting 'wait for dial tone' may help but how do I do that ? Also suggested was putting a sound-filter on the phone-line. Also, I have tried ATX3 and XTX4 and ATX1 and ATX2 but not much help. Any suggestion to improve connection is greatly appreciated.

[LIH] Setting up Linux server for 1st time
Hi, I have a 16 windows 95 clients. Currently running Wingate. Wingate server 192.168.0.1. Clients have 192.168.0.x static IP address. Peer to peer network. Wasn't set-up by. The management is currently skeptical about my Linux project so I don't want to change anything on the client side and Wingate side so that it continues to boot and operate in Wingate environment until I finish up configuring Linux and showing it off. My plan : enable SAMBA, web server, internal email, internet email, proxy server, internet connection sharing, demand dialling by tommorow. Started today. Installed RHL 6.0 from Chip CD. NIC is Realtek 8139. Gave the Linux server 192.168.0.1 so I don't have to fiddle with the client settings. Configured SAMBA, working fine. Apache web server working fine. Now I wanted internal email. Enabled POP3 and SMTP in inetd. In clients they were already set to use 192.168.0.1 as POP3 and SMTP server at port 110 and 25 so no change required. Opened user accounts in Linux. But send/receive from client takes a lot of time. Sometimes it times out at 'connecting to 192.168.01' and sometimes at 'Authrizing' and sometimes mails are sent/received after taking a lot of time. Haven't done any DNS setup till now. Is the trouble due to DNS server not set ? Any help is very much appreciated. I am hoping to finish off internal / internet email and internet connection sharing / proxy by tommorow.
