Re: [newbie] KPPP and No Dialtone
The commas would not help. The problem is that when there are messages waiting, the dialtone changes. The modem does not recognize this other dialtone, hence the 'no dialtone' error. Adding x3 to the modem init string should work - that tells the modem not to wait for a dialtone. Regards, Ozz. I was reading your message again and am wondering if I have the problem correct. You are having problems dialing out after you have received a voicemail? You can add commas to the dial out string (phone number)which gives approx 1 sec pause per comma.

This seems to fool KPPP into thinking it is getting no dialtone or a busy signal, probably the later. It then signals "no dialtone" and stops there. Does anyone know how to make KPPP wait for about 5 seconds and then attempt to connect? I get tired of having to go to the phone and deleting messages so I can get online.

We had a similar machine to yours at the college I was at. It was almost embarrassingly easy to hack.

Someone modified his project so that, on running, it printed a plethora of comments suggesting a visual similarity between his countenance and the topping of a 'House Special' pizza #;-D Hehehe. Yes, these old boxes really had no protection at all to hackers and crackers. But in those days, before 1980, there was not much fear of things like that happening. (Resident hackers in training excepted of course ;) At one of the places I used to work we used to have an old PRIME dinosaur. This was the size of a small family car, and had the performance of a mid-range 386 (blisteringly fast in it's time!). All word-processing and spreadsheet work for 300 users used to be done on it, as well as CAD! However, as the software grew, it got to the stage that a page-down on a spreadsheet took (perhaps conveniently!) approximately the same length of time as a trip to the coffee machine...

Most code is so old and crumpled that we decided it's better to redo the assembler programs in clean Cobol, and patch up the Fortran 66 code to Fortran 77 as we go. On the IBM we had been messing so much that not much of the executable code had any bearing to its source code. Usually we'd patch the hex code directly in memory and dump that back to disk.

I am trying to find out from Cox Cable if there is a nother way to signal voicemail other than the stutter tone. What is your current init. string? If there was nothing there before then the x3 needs to be prefixed with 'at' (without the quotes). In other words, if your modem string was "atm1v1" then it should become "atm1v1x3". If it was blank, then it should become "atx3" (all without quotes). The x3 bit is not case sensitive, and is the standard Hayes-compatible command for "ignore dialtone". It works for me - I needed it for when I was in Europe with a laptop/PCMCIA modem combination. Some of them Europeans have some very different dialtones... Regards, Ozz.

Re: [newbie] Setiathome
I am running seti-stuff too since quite a while. I got the version 3 software just this morning, and it is running no problem. I got the i686 which is very compliant with my Pentium-II/400. A work unit is completed in abour 12 hours here. I think they made a mistake by slowing down the processing though, unless they enforce the upgrade very quickly. A user's stats are generally quite important to him, and a 40% increase in process time is very significant. For me, if I'm running it 24/7, it makes a difference of 2.5 work units a week. A less scrupulous user would be likely to hold off the upgrade for as long as possible, just to give his stats a boost over the other users...

Re: [newbie] KPPP and No Dialtone
Hi I have, British Telecom's call minder enabled on this phone there are currently about 12 messages and the modem dials out fine so we know it is possible The settings on this system are just whatever the defaults are the modem is an external US Robotics Sportster Vi 28.8 If you tell me where to look on this system for the settings I'll copy them and send them to you.

Adding x3 to the modem init string should work - that tells the modem not to wait for a dialtone. Regards, Ozz. I was reading your message again and am wondering if I have the problem correct.

Follow the directions in my previous message to see if you get OK's back when entering the AT commands. Capitalization normally doesn't matter, but some command sets are only partly standard, so trying both cases wouldn't hurt. What X1 or X3 does is tell the modem to not listen for a dial tone, just dial.

Re: [newbie] Help! I know nothing of networks!
When you set up your Linux OS, it should have found your ethernet card, and it should have asked you if you have DHCP, which practically everybody has. You say yes, or whatever the correct answer is, and the installer will do the rest for you. Perhaps your ethernet card is not really compatible. Now that you have it configured, you will have to answer a lot of questions in jargon I don't understand, and the DOC's and HOW-TO's do not bother to explain. The damned installation program is smarter than I am! If you just installed the system, and your MS Windows runs right, then start over, answer the questions re your ISP's domain, etc, that come up with the install routine, and your internet will run right out of the box. The install routine questions are in English. The ipconf (or whatever it is) questions are in jargon that most of us newbies do not understand, and the docs don't even touch on.

[newbie] Cable modem problem
I recently signed up to @home and have set up my Linux machine to connect at bootup using dhcp-client (dhclient). One problem I have noticed over the past few days is that after a while the network stops responding to any calls from my browser, download manager, ping, etc. They don't give a message saying that they can't find a network, they just simply sit there trying to connect. The only way I could find to rectify this problem when it occurs is to disconnect from the network and then reconnect. This is currently achieved by running /sbin/ifdown as root to disconnect and then running /sbin/dhclient eth0 to reconnect. This is not the best solution (ifdown is designed for dhcpcd, not dhclient, but it works), and I'm sure that there's a far better way. Is there any way to have a *constant* connection to the cable network and the Internet without the need to disconnect and reconnect?

If you do have Windows = W9x on hda, edit MSDOS.SYS to 'BootGUI=0' and you'll have a *pure* DOS 7.x environment, no Winblows overhead present, suitable for runnin *any* old DOS game, even the ones on that 'added' drive. Your system will boot to a C:\ prompt, type 'win' to start W9x (no different than with Winblows = 3.x). The drive you added is still viable space for either Winblows or Linux, but it ain't bootable unless you wanna make it hda. -- Tom Brinkman[EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay Hi Tom. Thanks for replying. Okay. I've got it setup like this: WD-10 megger - hda with /swap, /, /usr, and /home as partitions. added: an old Seagate 1 gig HD, as hdd1. My Zip drive is indeed, hdc4... So whats the easiest way to change the old Seagate (hdd1) to hda, and my WD (hda) to hdd1? Without losing data, or having to reinstall? Can I just swap entries in /etc/fstab? Thanks! ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/
[newbie] CD-ROM won't open
Question for you all. I have just installed Mandrake 7.0. Everything installed fine. At the very end right before rebooting I tried to remove the CD-ROM. The CD-ROM will not open. Is there a something I need to do to get the CD-ROM open to be able to use it in the future. Thanks Erik __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
