All i care about is bandwidth. that's cuz being behind a 33.6/6 connection is not the best way to do things on the net. :=\ For things like PPP, the extra compression would be useless, if the time it takes to compress is more than the time it takes to transmit the uncompressed data. I guess there is a trade off. But i think gzip doesn't take much time, and i get better speeds on a Linux ISP here (POL), who supports deflate compression. i get about 4.2kbps at 'about 3 am... unmatchable by any ISP, on a 33.6 modem... hyd. doesn't have 56k lines... comp.compession is a great newsgroup to read more about these issues.

Re: [LIH] errors in syslog
Hello all, As according to PCQ, I've written scripts for DNS to use named.ca when online and not use when offline. So when online, named has access to root servers and not when offline. Now the confusing part is when I see the /var/log/messages I see that when online named starts and says listening on [127.0.0.1] in lo listening on [202.52.252.128] in ppp0 where the lower IP is my dynamic IP address. Again as soon as I disconnect named restarts with new conf file and again it is still listening on lo and ppp0. Why is this ? ppp0 is deactivated when I disconnect but where is named getting my dynamic address from ? I think that's why I'm getting 'sysquery: findns error (NXDOMAIN) on ns.pucampus.edu?' error after I disconnect since there is no ppp0 active. How do I correct this ? Above all, where is named getting my dynamic IP from when I'm already offline and why is it still listening on ppp0? Is it normal ? TIA Bharat --- LIH is all for free speech.

Re: [LIH] errors in syslog
i'm sorry fer callin' that properietary. realised that after i hit send. sorry again. But AFAIK, the gzip compression is better than the BSD comp... is there a bzip2 compression on PPP? just wondering ;-) Nikhil. --- Arun Sharma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, Apr 02, 2000 at 10:17:42AM -0700, Nick Hill wrote: that msg. comes when pppd is searching for compression modules. PPP offers 2 type of compressions, AFAIK. deflate and bsd-comp. BSD comp is properietary, and is not advised. BSD comp is NOT proprietary. It's licensed under the BSD license, a bonafide open source license. Please refer to the archives of LIG for more discussion. I'd advise you to be careful about making statements about licenses, since it ruffles a lot of feathers around here. -Arun http://sharmas.dhs.org/~adsharma/opinions/gpl-is-unrealistic.html --- For information on this and other Linux India mailing lists check out http://lists.linux-india.org/ __ Do You Yahoo!?
