All,
Using MDK 9.0 and trying to get internet connection
going through an ADSL USB modem. Using eciadsl
package and seems to work OK - to a point. Something
very screwy is happening. I can ping, but only sort
of.
For example, I seem to be ablt to ping to xx.yy.zz.aa

All,
I've just moved from Tokyo (where I had 8Mps cable
modem, unlimited access running 2 ethernet NICs to
drive my internet access and home network) to New
Zealand. Here I've signed up for 128kps ADLS with 5G
limited access and am having problems. The ADSL modem
I have is a D-Link DSL-200
LOL
Of course, if you ever want to check whether a file is
safe (i.e. readable ASCII) or not before you cat or vi
or less it, is to use the file (no quotes) command
first.
Of course, if you like your terminal going postal on
you, cat away!

Did you burn M8.2 on CD-RWs? I had a problem on an
old Tosh laptop where it wouldn't read CD-RWs - had to

the LM install software - very odd.

At the ftp download site, you need to go up a couple

Apache is a web server - it serves up web pages to
browsers on request. Squid is a(n) HTTP Proxy Server.
This is different - a browser can connect to a proxy
server, rather than directly to the web. The proxy
server then connects to the web on your behalf,
retrieves your web pages

Answer to your question is yes. ;-)
