Hi All,
I am really new to this Linux thing. I actually only became aware of
it a couple of months ago and didn't really start to check it out till
a couple of weeks ago. I have been to numerous web sites that deal
with it. Interviews, people's opinions, how to's and screen shots,
etc... Nowhere have I bumped into this simple and actually irrelevant
question:
Why the penguin?
It's cute and I actually like it, I was just wondering how a penguin
got hooked up being associated with Linux. Just curious.
Thanks
Russ

Probably I have to configure host or domain or IP or any other kind of deamon. With kppp starts automatly pppd, I think right. If someone tell me how can I do, thanks. Please answer me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] too. I hope, I'm usefull: How I configured my internal ISA PnP Diamond Supra-Express modem --- 1) download 'isapnp' RPM and install it 2) type 'pnpdump | more' without quotes to see settings of your PnP cards installed in your machine. type 'pnpdump /etc/isapnp.config' to have a prototype 3) edit /etc/isapnp.config to setting your pnp modem. how to edit read isapnp documents (try in /usr/doc/isapnp...) 4) type 'isapnp /etc/isapnp.config' to check your work. 5) if the last point is successfull you have to configure the COM port typing 'setserial -g /dev/ttyS2' to see your COM3 actual settings 6) type 'man setserial' to know how set /dev/ttyS2 with the same IRQ and HEX address of your PnP modem 7) create new script like 'pnpmodem' and edit it as the example you can read in isapnp documents 8) type 'chmod a+x /etc/pnpmodem' to make exeguible the script 9) edit inittab file (PAY ATTENTION, to find it type 'find / -iname inittab*') to add a line that have to call /etc/pnpmodem script so your modem will be initialized anytime you will start your machine 10) G'luck!
