[newbie] ADSL - mgmt.0 - how do I get this ?
I can't get mgmt.o from www.speedtouchdsl.com\dvrreg_lx.htm (the address supplied by ML9.1 install). I can't even see 'mgmt.0' mentioned on that site. I downloaded the 'SpeedTouch USB Linux driver' but all I got was a zip which expanded to two files - KQD6P1.eni and KQD6P2.eni. God knows what I am supposed to do with these, but I don't. (I have the old mgmt.0 - which worked with ML8.1 but doesn't appear to work with ML9.1) Advice how to obtain the current mgmt.0 appreciated.

[newbie] OpenSource AutoCad for Linux?
- Original Message - From: ThinKer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello All, I looked at LinuxCAD ( www.linuxcad.com ) but to be honest, the site looks a little desperate (sales oriented) and the fact that I can't download the demo version is a bit of a deterrent as well. I am currently looking for options for an engineering group that would be interested in having all of the desktops and servers in their office run Linux provided they be able to run an AutoCAD program that was comparable to what they currently use and compatible with the AutoCAD systems their customers are using. TP I rushed to LinuxCad.com, credit card in hand, hoping that you were being over critical about their site but, I see what you mean. Everything is wrong about the site. There is a 'restricted demo' available at $35 or - did you notice? - you can purchase the full version from the top of the page for $89 or, if you prefer, a download version is offered at the foot of the page for $99 !! Let's face it, only a fool would *not* buy a program as good as Autocad for $99 and practically every free demo cd that was issued would result in a sale. For them to charge $35 (non creditable against a full purchase) for a demo cd speaks volumes. The site is either; terrible marketing of an excellent product, in which case they won't sell many copies else excellent marketing of a terrible product, in which case they will earn a few dollars from selling the demo cd's. Sad, I hope it is a good product and if so, I hope they sell lots of copies so that I might bump into it working in a drawing office one day. If I do and if it's good, I;I'll be rushing back to their site. Fingers crossed ! Idealist Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] ADSL Modem not recognised
Hi Stormjumper - my reply is a bottom of this lot - - Original Message - From: Stormjumper [EMAIL PROTECTED] i'm also trying to get my Speedtouch USB to work with Mandrake, ANY mandrake. Idea.list, you referred to documentation that accompanied the packages. i assume you refer to the Mandrake specific packages. can i find out where to find those package specific documentation? as in which RPM they come in, or where they're installed to. thanks. - Original Message - From: Idea.list2BT [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2002 9:59 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] ADSL Modem not recognised - Original Message - From: Dennis Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Saturday 30 November 2002 09:02 pm, Idea.list2BT wrote: Can someone tell me why, with LM-8.2 we simply had to load the USB-Speedtouch file mgmt.o into usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o and then Linux detected it but with LM-9 it doesn't?

In windows, assuming your cd is E: the path is E:\Mandrake\RPMS\speedtouch-1.0-3mdk.i586.rpm (I'm back in windows now - so, going from memory) Think it installs in usr/share/doc/speedtouch and in usr/share/speedtouch It expands into several files including several text files with HowTo's etc. When I succesfully installed the Speedtouch USB in LM8.2 (long time ago) I thing it was necessary to remove my network card completely and only put it back after the Speedtouch is working. You also needed to put the mgmt.o file in as usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o Then entered ISP (bt) connection stuff (username etc. - I probably entered the bt prefix as with windows - i.e. mine is [EMAIL PROTECTED] - you are probably something other than hg11). I chose to 'connect at bootup' Rebooted and bingo - worked first time. Now the downer. Others tried this sequence but it didn't work for them. Wish you luck. You are welcome to let me know how you get on or discover any tricks. Dave. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Re: [newbie] ADSL Modem not recognised
- Original Message - From: Dennis Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED] One other package to see if you have installed, pptp-adsl-1.0.2xxx this is supposed to have something to do with included support with an Alcatel modem to go through a firewall or something. Worth taking a look at maybe? HTH -- Dennis M. linux user # 180842 Thanks Dennis Will probably be away from machine for a few days. Will follow your suggestion upon return.

[newbie] ADSL Modem not recognised
Can someone tell me why, with LM-8.2 we simply had to load the USB-Speedtouch file mgmt.o into usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o and then Linux detected it but with LM-9 it doesn't? I was even more disappointed to find that I might have to do god-knows-what to the kernel and recompile it to get Speedtouch recognised by LM-9. Have Mandrake not put the same facilities in LM-9 as they had in 8.2? Now for the sulky bit - (you don't need to read this, I'm just venting) - and don't tell me that you all don't secretly sulk. I'm feeling very **ck*** sorry for myself! I want my Linux! I've been trying, on and off, for literally years to get into Linux, and Mandrake 8.2 was the closest I've been to a working system. I was finally able to actually start learning Linux with it! Then of course there came closing down problems which led to more probs and that was the end of a working ML8.2 system. I can't easily install a new Linux on my tri-boot machine - Win2000, Win98 (for work reasons) Mandrake - so it wasn't until I noticed that vers 9 was available that I got the enthusiasm to disturb my machine again with a new Linux install. I was at least confident that problems with the USB Speedtouch had been solved way back in the 8.2 past. Instead there seems to have been a step backward. As the USB-Speedtouch is supplied by Britain's largest ISP British Telecom, to all it's ADSL customers there must be so many thousands of punters out there needing it to work with Mandrake I am amazed that Mandrake seem to have chosen to 'withdraw their support??' for it. Mandrake detects all my other peripherals but not this bloody modem. Kernel - Shmernel! I haven't even learned how to escape from the gui and get to the command line yet - that's another prob I've got. (I was weaned on CPM and DOS so I can appreciate the value of using the command line). I don't know why I'm such a fan of Mandrake, perhaps because the RedHat BookDisc kit I bought in 1997 nor the various systems from magazine covers have never worked, perhaps because this has always been such an informative n.g. :-), who knows. If anyone can help I'd apreciate it. Five years of being a Newbie is very embarrasing - what can I tell my kids? Thanks Dave --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
