Linux Internet Connection?
saito
for a long time :-), installed RedHat Linux right away,
and am having a trouble with connecting to USF server via
PPP from home (I could connect via V102). I tried minicom,
ppp-on, and RedHat's network controlpanel, but none of them
seems to work. The modem does sound like connected, but when
I try to use clients such as PINE and Lynx on my HD, they
says "No such remote host as ....," "Alert!: Unable to connect
to remotehost" and the like. (I certainbly can use these apps
on the USF server when connected via V102). I can connect
using Mac and WinNT just fine, using the same modem.
Does anybody know what's wrong with this?

check your '/etc/hosts' file and make sure your Domain name servers
are in there, or you can use the network config panel in x-win it's
fairly simple. also, a good thing to use to check whether or not you are
connect is either the ping command 'ping helios.acomp.usf.edu' or maybe
the '/sbin/ifconfig' it will give you the stats on the ppp connection. I
currently run RH 5.1 on my computer and have my ppp set up fine. I am
willing to help you get your system up (anything to spread the use of
linux) , but you need to be more specific, you weer kinda vague in your
problem statement. Also, do you live on campus or off?

Yeah. You bought a PC.

I still do like Macintosh very much, but my Performa 6214
does not support MkLinux or BeOS, and new Macs are way too
expensive to buy for me at this particular moment. So I
bought a cheap pc (about $350, DEC AMD 233MHz) just to
try Linux (and some other OSs later).

It worked. Actually, i tried this one before, but didn't
work somehow that time. But yesterday I damaged x-server
and had to reinstall Linux (because I'm still too newbie
to fix it by myself [sigh]), tried the RedHat's network
control panel again, and it worked so easily. :-)
> do you live on campus or off?
I live in Villege dorm. I heard they will install ethernet
in USF college dorms, but my room has not got it yet, so
I'm using a USRobotics modem (which is shared by Mac and
WinNT) to connect to the USF server.
Anyway, now I can download utilities to japanize Linux and
get a file (/desktop) manager (probably KDE). Also I'd like
to try some other window managers. Do you have any
recommendation? (I like taskbar but don't like Win95
interface,:-p)

Need I even mention that my Amiga can kick your Atari's butt with
one processor disabled? :)
I still use my Amiga 2000 with a 68030 running at 25Mhz...PPP,
web browser and everything!

When it comes to enduring technology, how about my abacus ;-)
I routinely resort to figuring calculations on the palm of my hand, with a
pen, or just counting on my fingers -- let's see ya beat that :-)

Okay, but one question: what'd "they" do way back in evolutionary
history when fingers and toes were still webbed like the fishies?

Hey, at least I refrained from saying something about "uphill through
the snow barefoot on broken glass after a lump of cold poison for
breakfast, being woken up an hour before we went to bed in a shoebox and
we were so poor, our box didn't even have a floor..."

Easy. I do it in my head.

My suggestion as towrds the window manager you might try is
Enlightenment. Very beautiful window manager! BTW, is your USR modem an
internal PCI 56k? If it is I would like to know how you have it
configured! I have a 28.8 Isa Modem which I use and also a 56k PCI
modem. I would obviously like to use the 56k. So, Maybe you can throw me
some config info!

I use Window Maker (http://www.windowmaker.org).
It's not as cool looking as E, but I not so sure E is that stable.
OTOH, with Qt under Open Source now, KDE might be a real good choice for
you.
For configuration, have you tried linuxconf? It's a GTK app that I like
better than the config tools.
Good luck.

I'll try it. thanks for recommendation. :-)
> BTW, is your USR modem an internal PCI 56k?
It's external 56k, but of x2 type which is not
supported by the USF server, I think. Maybe the ones
being sold by USR lately might have both x2 and
K56flex connectability, but my earlier version does
not. (It could be upgraded to meet the new standard
[v.90?] though.)

Yes, I just installed KDE and it's really good...
especially for me who is not very familiar with
command line user interface, yet. ^^;;
