Re: [newbie] dropped modem connections with Linux
I found that tweaking the init string is the simplest thing you can do to boost the k/sec w/ a modem. I'm using a Dualmode Zoom 2919 (56flex/V.90). If I leave the init @ ATZ, my modem works, but is not very fast, as this is a default setting that works w/ most modems. By changing this to ATS109=2 (or 1, I forget what I changed it to, V.90 or 56flex only), my speed is more predictable (usually b/t 45333 and 48000). The server I actually dial in to could be 30 miles away for all I know. Sometimes, the speed drops to 26400, so I just hangup and try again. Also, if I use email for a long time (reading from this list, etc..) I think my ISP drops me, I don't know, I have to call them cuz in 10 days I've gotten no response from them via email, just automated replies. Anyhoo...If by any chance you have the documentation that came w/ your modem, look for init strings specific to that model, or go to their website. -Josh Jeremy Kersenbrock wrote: Hello, I'm having what would seem to be a rather strange problem. My modem almost always disconnects suddenly from my ISP after a few minutes online. The time varies -- sometimes 20 seconds sometimes 45 minutes. KPPP gives me the message "pppd died". Here's the strange part: using the same modem in Windows on the same machine calling the same ISP works fine. The modem is a USR Sportster 28.8 External. I do have debug for pppd and kppp enabled, and nothing abnormal shows up in the log(s). Linux thinks that the modem simply hangs up and sees no errors. Also, on the rare occasion when the connection in Linux lasts, the throughput is greatly slower than with Windows. I only average 1.3K down with Linux and the same setup with Windows get me an average of 2.2K. Then, too, I have the registry tweaked up in Windows to adjust the MTU, TTL, RWIN, MSS, and NDI Cachesize. BTW, is there any way to adjust these values in Linux? I already know how to do the MTU and MRU settings, but what about the others. (These two alone seem to make little if any difference). I've already contacted my ISP (who supports Linux) and he says my problem is likely phone line noise (I live out in the country). This is quite possible, but then why is Linux so much more picky about it? I have had occasional disconnects with Windows, but only a fraction of the number as with Linux. I am using this initialization string with Linux: ATZ. I do not have a string specified in Windows. Is there some remedy for this? Do I need a new modem? or do I give up and revert to Windows for my surfing and emailing? Thanks for any suggesions, Jeremy

[newbie] Returned mail...
Earlier, I sent a msg to [EMAIL PROTECTED] scolding them for not having anything L-M specific to add to the discussions, and my mail was returned, but the address is the same as the one sent to the list. Okay, maybe it's not my place to delegate, but it irks me when I'm reading thru 60+ e'mails and then these guys put in something not even related. (Mandatory) Linux content: A previous post mentioned tweaking the TTL, MSS, MTU, RWIN settings in the windoze registry... besides that, what files in Linux should I familiarize myself with to adjust other settings like MinTimeSlice, ComBoostTime, KeyBoostTime, TrapTimerPorts, Vcache, etc...? I'm really not sure what to do to get my L-M system optimized as it's not running as speedy as windows was b4 I trashed it. I was thinking since Linux wasn't such a resource hog, that I could have my 48mb/P133 sys running faster than windows. So far, it has been more stable, just not as fast. My swap is set at 96mb and is used only in small amounts. I think that somewhere, resources are going to things I'm rarely, if ever using. Any tips to bump up the speed of my system, i.e. , disabling services not used by a common desktop? Others? There has to be something I can do to minimally but noticibly increase my PC's speed (besides adding more RAM/HD and a new CPU, for now). Any help greatly appreciated -Josh

Re: [newbie] StarOffice install
A .tar file is an archive, similar to a .zip file in Windows... but without compression. To extract files from it, you'd use the command `tar -xf filename.tar` If you want to see the filenames that it is extracting, put a "v" inbetween the x and f. Sometimes you'll get tar files that are compressed. These will end with .tar.gz or maybe just .tgz . If you like using GUI, you can use the program called "Archiver", which will show up on the right-click menu of .tar.gz or .tgz files. For some reason, it may not show up for .tar files. In this case, choose "Open With" and Archiver will be under "Utilities." After extracting the tar file, read the included READMEs. Before posting any questions about StarOffice, please check the archives of the mailing list. Someone set up a separate list for StarOffice questions, but I don't know the address to subscribe.

[newbie] Win 98 install in VMWare
I got VMWare installed beautifully. It seems like a really nice piece of software. I set up a Win 98 virtual machine quickly and easily, powered it on and watched as DOS booted from a floppy. Wild! It gives me the regular Windows save disk options and I choose 'Start with CD Drivers' or whatever it says. Then it seems to look for my CD drive and can't find it. It throws an error message about not seeing the CD drive but fires up DOS no prob. The thing is, you can't install Win 98 without CD support. What am I doing wrong? I figure this must be one of VMWare's most common uses. Linux-Mandrake found my drive no problem. Any reason why VMWare doesn't see a CD drive?

[newbie] cannot adjust video settings...
I've run Xconfigurator and xf86config several times, but thought my video is set OK now, I can't seem to change it. According to my monitor manual (Smile 1280x1024), I can run 800x600 @ 56, 60, and 72hz N-I; 1024x768 @ 87hz Interlaced, 60 and 70hz N-I; and 1280x1024 @ 87 I and 60 N-I, Hsync @ 30-69KHz, and Vsync @ 50-120HZ Video card default is 1024x768 @ 16bits. When I try anything other than "a monitor that can do 1280x1024 @ 60hz", Vsync @ 50-150, and I test X, my screen flickers and I can't see anything really, and I have to go back and set it to 800x600, monitor that can do 1280x1024, and 50-150 Vsync. Anyway, I think those are the settings I'm offered, but the point is that I can't seem to get the settings to be easily changeable w/ Xconfigurator, though it offers the option of specifying Hsync's, it does not give me an option for actually doing so... So, why is it so difficult to switch b/t resolution settings? 800x600 is OK, but I'd like to have the option of switching resolutions as needed. Xf86config isn't any easier to set acceptable settings, and besides, I'd like to be able to make changes "on the fly". -Josh

Re: [newbie] StarOffice install
Hi Jeffry and all others ! Extract the .tar (tarball) file with 'tar xvf so51a_lnx_01.tar". This will create 2 directorys. One is called (if I remeber correct) so51install. In there is a file calles setup. Run that file with ./setup and install will start. You can also do a network install if you have several users/machines. this is done with './setup /net'. If you do a network install, I would do it as root and put it in /usr/local/. Hope this helps and that nobody flames me about filesecuritys. /Jocke!

That is because the modem is pnp i'm guessing, went to www.linuxnewbie.com and read their article on installing an isapnp modem. Did all the setserial and editing the isapnp.conf file to change it to detect the modem at com1, both serial ports are diabled in the bios and i have no other isa cards. I keep getting a conflict with irq 4, when i set it for com2, i get a conflict with irq3, any setting right now gets a conflict. my computer is an amdk6-2 450, asus p5a mainboard, voodoo3 3000, sound blaster live value, intel pro100 management nic, and da modem. if anyone has seen this problem or knows the fix for it plz reply to the list or e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED], i checked the list archives and didn't see any problems like this one. thanks a whole lot in advance, this is the only reason why windows is still on my computer, once the modem works goodbye billie boy's software. tony

[newbie] ARE YOUR COMPUTERS READY FOR YEAR 2000 ???
In order to protect data bases and email - YOU NEED TO FIND OUT !! You can do so for FREE with a thorough and guaranteed RTC and BIOS test and 7 day trial fix. Problems can and will occur throughout January on most computers - not exclusively on January 1, 2000. Protect yourself by: 1). Not assuming your computer(s) are Y2K compliant. 2). Not paying for something you do not need. 3). Not paying too much for a hardware fix you will require. Complacency can be very expensive in both time and money.
