AFAIK, Telstra use standard PPPoE for ADSL.
No heartbeat or anything as such.

[SLUG] Telstra ADSL modem recommendation
G'day, I've got a client using telstra ADSL, 1g/month. Currently they using modem supplied by telstra, its a DASL-with RJ45 output. I've been asked to replace this old modem with a router so they can connect to internet without depended on 1 computer-must-be-on (as the Internet sharing) Any telstra-experienced can give me an advice about the router with built in ADSL modem? I know telstra always put some sortof software and a bit tricky to handle. Thanks for the answer. __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Re: [SLUG] Apache Queries
After building a reverse proxy with authentication, and including various tags I found that authentication would be requested on every image or page downloaded. So far I have not found a solution. At this stage I disabled authentication. I've set up apache on my linux firewall to reverse proxy for a web server on nat'd internal network with these conf entries; ProxyRequests off ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.100/ ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.100/ Two things are a problem. Firstly authenticated pages don't work. I don't mean https 443, I'm just talking about a page that prompts for a username and password. Secondly, the logging on the web server (192.168.1.100) only shows one very active user (the internal ip of the firewall 192.168.1.1) rather than the actual source. Is this just a fact of life or is there some apache magic that will allow the address infomation to be passed without messing with the routing? TIA's Pete. P.S I've been trolling the apache doco but don't seem to be using the right words in the search as I'm getting a lot of chaf back and not much info, a link to a relevant RTFM much appreciated. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Just post the small bit of interest.
The SMH is now a brain dead site.
Even if you register, it is a major PITA.

[SLUG] Printing with Debian/Morphix
I have installed Morphix on a computer and upgraded the Distribution with apt. All works well. I can use the net through the lan etc. but I have one major problem: How the hell does one set up a network printer with Debian. From my SuSE 9.1 box I just use YAST. There seems to be no comparable tool in Debian. As you can guess I have used SuSE/Mandrake/RedHat type distros for several years. I have no experience with Debian based systems.

If you mean the "you should register, because we'll be pulling free access soon" page, "random" appears to mean "there's no cookie on the computer which says the person has been harassed recently".

Re: [SLUG] Debian auto-logouts
One possibility is that the TMOUT variable set in the environment, to check this do and see what the response is. eg env |grep TMOUT TMOUT=7200 means that the shell will time out in 7200 seconds or 2 hours. To change this put in your /etc/bashrc or ~/.bashrc file or comment out any existing equivalent line. Another possibility is that ssh or a firewall is timing you out if you are logging in remotely. If you think this might be the problem have a look at the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file or check your firewall configuration. Hope this helps, Chris Freeman Alan L Tyree wrote: Hi, I've just installed Debian Woody with the 2.4 kernel and (for the time being) IceWm.
