Do you have the wireless tools (iwconfig, etc?) Try here:

The 'key' option to iwconfig is what you're looking for. More links can be

I've had Debian on my Portege 3025 for nearly two years. The initial
install was a bit rough because it wouldn't boot from Slink boot disks. I
had to use loadlin from a WinDOS98 partition. The Potato boot disks seem to
work fine, at least on this machine.

I installed Potato under VMWare 1.x a while back and I recall having to use
the 'safe' boot disk.

I cannot seem to get the raidtools working on a sparc. I was hoping that
someone here could help out. Before I start, let me note that I've been
using Debian with raidtools on several x86 machines for quite some time
without any troubles.

Your best bet is to convince your network administrator to use masq
modules for these things.
I believe netmeeting uses H.323. I remember seeing an H.323 module at

Sounds like there's a fetchlimit being set somewhere. Do the remaining

See man fetchmail and look for 'fetchlimit' and similar.

I don't have any experience with DSL, but I can tell you about the ATT @home

I just got an @home cablemodem last weekend and I've been running ipmasq for
quite some time over a normal dialup. The short answer is that you can
connect as many computers through your service as you like, using only one
IP address, and you don't really need two ethernet cards in any of the

Configure the machines A, B and C with their gateway set to 192.168.10.1 and
setup their DNS, and your should be set.
The system defaults for X apps are under usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. The

My only concern is that these are x86 machines, not Sparcs. My experience

Specifically, RedHat 6.1 on a SUN4U box doesn't seem to play very nice with
