Hello All,
|
|
|
|
I am having major Slip problems. The remote host that I am
|
|
connecting to and my local host are apparently not getting along. Okay,
|
|
here is the situation.
|
|
|
|
1) /sbin/dip /etc/connection.dip
|
|
---> this dials the remote host.
|
|
2) I receive a message saying "CONNECTED remote ip-address ---> local ip-address"
|
|
3) telnet remote host
|
|
4) I receive a message saying "Trying ..."
|
|
5) After 3 to 5 minutes of waiting it gives me a message saying, "unknown host"
|
|
6) However, when I pickup the phone, I hear the connection.
|
|
7) Then I begin to cuss!
|
|
|
|
I do a netstat -r and I do see that my remote host is listed under the
|
|
gateway category. Go figure? Then I simply do a netstat after the
|
|
telnet and I see the SYN GET (or something like that) indicating that
|
|
they are still trying to connect with each other.
|
|
|
|
Has anyone out there had to deal with a problem similiar to this one?
|
|
Does anyone have a clue to what is going on? Could someone send me
|
|
an example of how there *.dip scripts and anything related to the
|
|
local and remote host info (Of course, minus the info. such as a vital
|
|
password or a site that they don't want to share)?
|
|
|
|
Signed,
|
|
Pretty Desperate!!!
|
|
Thanks!
|
|

How to print out a fax? What I tried was raw fax --> g3topbm (from

|

The problem is that i loose the resolution. Small letters that I can

BTW: Dos someone know why xli can't read sendfax's g3-files correctly

Hi!
|
|
|
|
I have a PAS16 and 1542CF. I tried some bus on/off times (in the aha1542.c
|
|
driver) and found out, that the PAS worked great when the 1542 was near
|
|
300KB/sec transfer speed. (Don't ask me for the parameters, I only tried a little
|
|
but don't know them any more.)
|
|
|
|
You can use the PAS with lower sample rate (ca. 22KHz Stereo, 8Bit) in normal
|
|
work. But when you have much hard disk acces the sound stops again.
|
|
|
|
Until now I found no solution to this problem.

I've got the same problem with an Orchid Kelvin 64. I think the X
|
|
server uses some of the font-area on the card. As a hack I run setfont
|
|
after leaving X. Don't do this on a VC whilst X is still running;

things crash.

I would like to be able to send mail (using smail) which appears to
|
|
come "From" a pseudo-user other than the real user who created the mail.
|
|
(For instance, my mail "smarthost" expects me to be called "efh",
|
|
whereas I can be other things on my Linux machine). I've tried fiddling
|
|
with the config file, to no avail; maybe some other files should be
|
|
configured. So far all mail has to be created as real user "efh",
|
|
or "cb" (see below).
|
|
|
|
I'd like to be able to be real user (e.g.) "ted" or "root" and send
|
|
mail as "efh".
|
|
|
|
While we're at it, my wife is known to the smarthost as "cb" and so
|
|
it would also be nice if she could be pseudo-user "cb", whatever her real
|
|
uid on our Linux machine may be. Can both options be configured in?
|
|
|
|
If anyone knows how to do this I'd be much obliged to hear about it.

With efax06a I created G3 file, sent it and other side

Has anyone developed any scripts to confirm the installation of a slackware

I'm re-installing this distribution from scratch and have had the setup

trusting that no error messages means that everything went as it was supposed

The problem with this method is compression. The system banner or motd can

be transmitted much faster than a normal *.zip program. The best thing ist

the method you suggested first. Transmit one file and measure the time for

it.

I have kernel 1.0.9 and the 2.90 drivers compiled all right. I have full
|
|
sound capabilities and doom sound also works. I don't know about 1.0.8 but I
|
|
don't think there could be that much of a difference.

ConfigXF86 on my recently installed Slackware2.0 version of linux doesn't
|
|
have a driver for my VL bus Paradise card (with Western Digital chip WD90C33-
|
|
ZZ). I've tried all sorts of other cards, and even tried to use the
|
|
makecard program to make a driver (with no luck of course).
|
|
Does anyone know where I can get the driver I need, or give me the info I
|
|
need to sort the problem out myself? (as a temporary measure I put an
|
|
ET4000 card into the machine and it worked fine, but it had to be returned
|
|
to it's original machine).

I use the same IRQ and DMA for the PAS16 under DOS and Linux does the card

work in DOS? The Dos PAS programs will find the best IRQ and DMA have you

tried this program. This may help you find a place where the card may work.

When Linux boots I see this:
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Linux 1.1.18.
|
|
hostname login:
|
|
|
|
and it waits for someone to login. This is fine, but I would rather
|
|
have Linux boot into X and show somekind of dialog box prompting for
|
|
login id and password. I don't need a window manager running or
|
|
anything. Actually, I'd rather not have one running and let the
|
|
~/.profile load one.
|
|
|
|
My attempt:
|
|
I modified /etc/rc.d/rc.local and added the line
|
|
xinit -position =+100+150 -e login
|
|
I think it's -position, but I forget. If not, it's whatever does that.
|
|
This works, but when the user logs in and enters 'mwm&', it says display
|
|
not found.
|
|
|
|
Attempt #2:
|
|
Modified /etc/rc.d/rc.local and added the line
|
|
startx
|
|
Then I added a login command to the root menu in the system.mwmrc to run
|
|
a xterm -e login. This worked fine, but if the user asks for a generic
|
|
xterm, they get a window with a root account! In addition, the .mwmrc
|
|
file in the user's home directory is ignored (because mwm is already
|
|
running).
|
|
|
|
The results are the same with every window manager I tried (mwm, fvwm,
|
|
olwm, etc.). Also when the user logs out with the above attempts, X
|
|
exits and goes back to the name login: prompt. I simply want it to show
|
|
the 'login dialog box' again.
|
|
|
|
Help, thanks.

The Macintosh does however.

Due to security reasons we have disabled the finger from outside
|
|
of our machine. Now if someone tries to finger they get the
|
|
message " connection refused ", which some people find annoying.
|
|
|
|
I have noticed that some people have found a nice solution to this.
|
|
When a person fingers their machine they provide some helpful
|
|
information on who to send email to get information on the machine
|
|
etc. For example finger @sgi.com gives the following result :
