This is a function in C++ that is built into the kernel and is an execution

Well, I've reached the bitter end in the "Quest for Access", ISDN. From
what little experience I've had w/ Linux and internet access, POTS/Modem
and Cable Modem, I would expect that ISDN access and routing to other
computers is a doable thing. But I have no clue and providers don't do
much to help! Has anybody had any experience with Linux/ISDN setups?
Any "gotchas" to look out for? It's still iffy if we can get ISDN, but
I'd like to be prepared.

ISDN tends to be expensive. on top of any ISP fees you're likely to have
to pay for the ISDN line installation and maintance, like with any other
phone line. but there are also usage fees on the line which are per
minute. isdn routers can cost any where from a few hundred dollars to
few thousand. the ones that i've worked with are external devices that
have rj-45 ports to connect to a hub/switch or x-over to you pc.
here's my isdn horror story. when the company i worked for moved last
summer verison went on strike and didn't get our T1 installed, another
horror story. we had an isdn line in our old building for backup and
isdn in the new complex. since we had the old building for a few months
we kept our T1 there and used isdn to bridge between the 2 networks. for
course when we where setting up the isdn routers it wouldn't dial out.
we had verison techs out to look at the line 5 times over a 2 week
period before they actually fixed the 3 or 4 seperate problems. in the
mean time we speaker netted our POP server over the the T1 to pickup
email, fun fun. it turns out that verison had the isdn setup to
translate like a cell phone, which took over a week to figure out.

Hi Greg.
Well can't help you here. The information I asked for from verizon when I
looked into ISDN is this yes its around $100.00 to install it and a small
monthly fee of around $10.00 to use the line, (but its a penny per minute to
use the service.) Also the price plan goes up is you want the commercial
line! (ie: slighty faster speed) otherwise it really is no faster than a
56kbps modem.
So knowing the time I spend online it would cost even more than a cable or
DSL modem and not be anywhere as fast.
My best advice is forget ISDN and get ether a cable or DSL modem. Their
faster and cheeper in the long run.
Well my two cents worth. Take it or leave it. Hope I was of any help?
Oh and by the way to all my friends at NFLUG this is smiling Ron the used
ISDN modem dealer. To all you suckers I mean to all you nice people out
there I have an ISDN modem to sale. Like new, Only use to dial out to church
on sundays by the little old fellow from Amherst. Its all yours for twenty
easy payments of one dollar with no interest charges. Call me at 677-5909 or
1-888-888-8888 and I'll sell you for five easy payments of two cents each
for a small book of smart remarks.
See ya};-)
Ron

That's probably the route we'll end up going. I look for the Linux
solutions first, though. Has a nice conversation w/ one of the techies at
our ISP who uses ISDN for much the same reason: can't get anything else.
He mentioned a "Pipeline 75" to be sure it has POTS jacks on the back,
that way we can double up w/ the fax machine. I'm checking into that.
Thanks!

Yeah, I should have been more specific: Adelphia wants $1000 a pole and
the estimate is @40 poles. We are "beyond the Pale" as far as DSL goes,
So ... as I said, the BITTER end ...

What are the specs on that modem? We may very well end up w/ this ISDN,
horror stories and all. And from Verizon, I've got some horror stories

Not at all! I was just trying to be funny. Just goes along w/ what I
expect for this kind of project: lots of "phone tag", a week or so after
the "you'll absolutely have it no later than" date the initial testing is
finally done, an unspecified period of time after that a good,
knowledgeable tech shows up w/ a hopelessly screwed up work order w/ the
proper parts for the work order, but not for what you want done, and
>eventually<, it all works! ;-)
I've been trying to get something (ANYTHING!!!) better than POTS out here
for 3 years now! :-( If we get lucky this time (3rd year's the charm?),
I'll probably leave the ISDN router thing alone and connect my SmoothWall
firewall to it, then parcel it out to the Windoze boxes. Hopefully, this
will end up being "a good thing" tm.!

Here's some information about a software design contest that may interest
the NFLUG:
DevelopOnline, http://www.DevelopOnline.com, a company that enables
developers to build embedded electronic products via the Internet, has
launched a Software Design Contest.
DevelopOnline provides pre-configured development environments for proven
microprocessor-based platforms. DevelopOnline provides development tools,
including a cross-compilation toolchain when appropriate. The developer,
however, has complete software control over the pre-configured device. All
of it is running Linux.
What this means is Linux users can access working reference designs,
configure Linux, and execute on a test board all within DevelopOnline's
secure environment.
The deadline to enter DevelopOnline's Software Design Contest is August 17,
2001. The winner will receive national recognition, plus $10,000. Fifteen
runners-up receive $1,000 each.
What is DevelopOnline looking for? Here's a sample of a few of the entries:
* Remote control of computer systems through cell phone/pager
* System power management
* Remote operation of a home security system through the Internet
If any of your members are interested, they can visit our Web site for more
information: www.DevelopOnline.com .

I just got this email a few minutes ago, can anyone
help?

Samuel,
You have no idea who I am.. but I represent the IT
interests for Strates
Enterprises. You may know our name.. we manage the
midway at the Erie
County Fair, have for many decades.
I happened upon your name from the UB OpenSource
website. I have a bit of
a Linux situation and it just happens to be at the
Erie County Fair - no
really, dont laugh. Our Linux server is broken. The
server normally
dials into Earthlink and then uses IPMasq for the
clients to get out to
the net to check their e-mail, etc.. but it's not
dialing anymore!
We're based in Orlando, FL.. the weekend is
approaching and honestly I
don't want to fly to Buffalo. :) By chance could you
recommend a locally
based Linux consultant who could drive out to the Erie
County Fair, fix my
box, make a few bucks, and ride a few rides?
If you can, or know of someone you can.. PLEASE give
me a call or have
them give me a call -- 407-230-3024 or e-mail ASAP.
Thank you so very much!

This past Sunday we took an exploratory look at Fonts in Linux.
Here are some links to articles that will help any one interested in using
TrueType or Type 1 fonts on a Linux box in X, Printing and StarOffice.
FIRST: Read the Font HOWTO. It is a must to really understand the way fonts
work in Linux and make the whole font server vs. print server thign much
clearer:
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Font-HowTO-4.html
Then if you are interested in StarOffice the StarOffice documentation (appendix
on installing Fonts)can be better understood (although having read the above
may eliminate the need to read teh SO docs, but it's good info anyway. The
HOWTO goes into installing fonts in StarOffice actually less confusing than the
SO doc.
Then to Find FONTS go to :
http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=1193&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0
EVEN IF you don't use MAndrake the article is still worthwhile. Not only does
it point out where fonts can be retrieved, but also has a short discussion on
EULA's and the usability of "proprietery" fonts in an Open Source enviroment.
MY SUGGESTION. I read the Font How To and the thing that stuck out clearest
was LINUX supports Type 1 Fonts wihtout any hassle and there is a tool to
convert TT to Type 1 fonts GUES what I did, YUP converted my TT fonts to Type 1
and they work!
After doing all the steps manually you may feel that it is better done by a
single tool. Well that tool has been created and is made to work under KDE.
IT is called kfontinst and can be found at:
http://www.cpdrummond.uklinux.net/kfontinst
I wasn't able to get it to compile but if you have success please report your
findings.
The test I finally did when finished was to create the same document in
StarOffice and Word (with many different Font sizes, dimensions etc) and print
each document in the other app. I was able to see and print almost all the
fonts (still can't print Courier New from MS on a SO box :-( ).

Hello All,
I was just wondering this morning if this mail list had stopped or if I
had become removed or something because I havent had any mail from this in a
while, especially about last Sunday, which I apparently missed and would
have really enjoyed the Font topic, anyway, I have been majorly busy
scrambling to reconfigure my networks here as my current SDSL provider of 4
months is pulling out of the area. Luckily there is a provider taking over
for them but with new IP allocations and my router that cost $700 will not
work with there DSLAM. So as is becoming a practice, I have been turning to
Linux for help. I have downloaded and made a boot disk with the Linux Router
Project version 2.9.8 and have it up and running, completely running off ram
from a floppy, NO HDD NEEDED! Anyway, after searching all over on the net, I
have found nothing in respect to how to configure and use this. I am not
that savvy in configuring a router in the first place but the one that I did
have, was pretty simple. Does anyone have any experience in this? If so and
you think you might be able to help, I could explain my IP config's,etc.
What a great way to use that 486!(I currently have it on a p166). Any help
as always would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, peter@thecybersource.com

Well, I've been using the Coyote router project stuff and it has a configurator
that builds the initial floppy after asking a few questions. After it's
running, you can tweak some of the stuff from the 'lrcfg' program that's there
when you log in as root. I think that the linux router project stuff has a
configuration tool, too. If you log in to the router as 'root', what do you
get?
By the way, I have a customer with two LRP boxes running a VPN between them.
The reason that I can't remember how to configure them is because I haven't had
to touch them since they were installed many months ago :-)
Cheers!
Bob

Hey Bob,
Thanks for the reply, I tried emailing the guy at Coyote
(wecoyote@technologist.com) and his email\domain is down. On one of the
sites, it said that he would send a configured copy upon request, but I
havent been able to send him a request. When I log in as root, i get a very
simple menu. I am not sure how to do much past that point. Do you suppose I
could get a copy of yours or maybe you could guide me through its setup. As
in ip allocations, ethernet cards being recognized, etc. ?

Well, I've been using the Coyote router project stuff and it has a
configurator
that builds the initial floppy after asking a few questions. After it's
running, you can tweak some of the stuff from the 'lrcfg' program that's
there
when you log in as root. I think that the linux router project stuff has a
configuration tool, too. If you log in to the router as 'root', what do you
get?
By the way, I have a customer with two LRP boxes running a VPN between them.
The reason that I can't remember how to configure them is because I haven't
had
to touch them since they were installed many months ago :-)
Cheers!
Bob

Intel to boost Linux programming tools
By Stephen Shankland
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
August 22, 2001, 9:45 a.m. PT
Intel, one of the first mainstream companies to endorse the Linux operating
system, will release programming tools Thursday to make Linux programs run
better on its chips.
The chipmaker plans to announce compilers that translate Linux programs
written in C++ or Fortran languages into commands an Intel Pentium 4 or
Itanium chip can understand, the company said in a statement.
Compilers are key to making sure programs can take advantage of a chip's new
features, such as those that distinguish the Pentium 4 from its
predecessors, but the design of the Itanium family relies even more heavily
than most chips on the performance of the compiler.
The compilers will include several features
already
incorporated in Intel's compilers for Windows computers, including support
for the OpenMP standard for multiprocessor
computers, the chipmaker said.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel has been a backer of Linux, a clone of Unix
that's grown popular for use in servers--chiefly those based on Intel chips.
Releasing compilers helps write programs that show off Intel's chips to
their greatest advantage.
However, the standard compiler most Linux programmers use is GCC, recently
upgraded to version 3.0 . Scientific
programmers, the chief users of the Fortran language and people who often
write their own software, are often interested in squeezing every bit of
performance possible out of a chip.
Each Linux compiler is expected to be released in September as a $399
download or $499 CD on sale at Intel's software site
.

Hi guys.
I need your help. I installed Mandrake 8.0 and gave it the info it =
needed to get on line, but the following links say I have to add the =
following info for a logon script. Please tell me its not so. I thought =
Mandrake was a gas-N-go (OS) now I'm stuck!
Worldnet uses CHAP for authentication and states that the following has =
to be added to a login script argument in order to logon.
If someone could look at the links below and tell me in newbie terms =
just what do I need to do and where to type it in.=20
I think I know where to type it in but I want to do it right the first =
time so it will work!=20
Oh by the way Bob I changed the video card and cd-rom so it installed. =
No problem! I did have to use a serial mouse though.
1.. Add the following line to the file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets:
999999999@worldnet.att.net * "password" *
where 9999999999 has been replaced by number on the "Name" or =
"LoginName" line of your account information file, and password is =
replaced the value on the "Password" line. The quotation marks around =
the password are important to protect any special characters that might =
appear in the password.
2.. Create, the following script, substituting the proper values for =
$NAME and $PHONE. I have given my script the name /usr/sbin/ppp-on.
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Script to establish connection from a Linux system to
# worldnet via PPP.
#
$DOMAIN=3D"worldnet.att.net"; =20
$SEARCH=3D$DOMAIN;
$NAMESERVER1=3D"204.127.160.1"; =20
$NAMESERVER2=3D"204.127.129.1"; =20
$NAMESERVER3=3D"204.127.129.2"; =20
$NAME=3D"999999999\@worldnet.att.net";
$PHONE=3D"6213400"; # Cambridge, MA =20
$MODEM=3D"/dev/modem";
$resolv =3D '>/etc/resolv.conf';
open(CONF,$resolv)|| die "Cannot open file: $resolv.\n $! \n";
print CONF "\#resolv.conf - created by ".$ARGV."\n";
print CONF "domain ".$DOMAIN."\n";
print CONF "search ".$SEARCH."\n";
print CONF "nameserver ".$NAMESERVER1."\n";
print CONF "nameserver ".$NAMESERVER2."\n";
print CONF "nameserver ".$NAMESERVER3."\n";
$command=3D"/usr/sbin/pppd name \"".$NAME."\"".
" -d connect \'/usr/sbin/chat -t 45 -v ABORT BUSY \"\" ATDT".
$PHONE." CONNECT \"\"\' ".$MODEM.
" 57600 noipdefault modem defaultroute crtscts";
$ENV{'PATH'} =3D ''; # Make $ENV{'PATH'} untainted
system($command);=20
Executing this script should then startup up a connection to AT&T =
WorldNet Service. Give the script a permission of 4755 (chmod 4755 =
/usr/sbin/ppp-on) if you want to be able to startup the internet =
connection from accounts other than root.
This script is a bit fancy in that it writes to the file =
/etc/resolv.conf the domain name and the nameserver numbers. This can be =
handy if you have several similar scripts for different ISP's, each of =
which has its own domain name and nameservers. If perl is not available, =
or you want a simpler script, edit /etc/resolv.conf to contain
domain worldnet.att.net
nameserver 204.127.160.1
nameserver 204.127.129.1
nameserver 204.127.129.2=20
and use the following the following script startup PPP (replacing the =
login name and phone number with appropriate values.)
/usr/sbin/pppd name "999999999@worldnet.att.net" -d connect \
'/usr/sbin/chat -t 45 -v ABORT BUSY "" ATDT1111111 CONNECT ""' \

3.. Optionally, one may optionally add a script to disconnect ppp. The =
following is an example of /usr/sbin/ppp-off
#!/bin/sh
# ppp-down - simply kills the ppp-daemon
kill `ps -a | grep pppd | grep -v grep | cut -b 1-6`=20

OK, here comes my glorious comback to the list. Hello to all of those
who know me...
I now work for Auria Networks, the second largest telco operator in
Finland. ISDN has been a lot more popular as a home user service over
here than in the US. One of my jobs is to monitor and maintain the IAS
systems that integrate the 5000+ local ISDN lines coming through the
telco switches with the IP network that leads to the Internet. Thus, I
have a whole bunch of ISDN lines coming into my office for testing
purposes, and I also have a fancy assortment of different ISDN adapter
cards at my disposal. In the last month I've had a good chance to test
these cards on this Linux box I have here, and I must say most of them
work quite as advertised. For most of them, Linux drivers do exist and
Mandrake 8.0 even regocnizes and sets them up during installation with
no trouble (usually =)). There also is a myriad of ISDN software tools
available for Linux. There's no shortage of dialers and configuration
tools. ISDN always beats POTS 56K modem line hands down, even when only
using one B channel for a 64K connections. And of course you can always
use the second B channel simultaneously for a 128K connection. The
establishment of the connection is almost instantaneus, since there's
none of the negotiateon hassle of analog modems. Because of this, ISDN
lines also work nice in dial-on-demand configurations. If you can't get
"real" broadband sevice to your house, I think ISDN is a very good
option, just as long as you ISP can provide some decent service and
reasonable pricing. I can't say Verizon could boast with such merits,
though...

Hey Pete,
I also run coyote Linux.. running it on what used to be my P166, which has
been scaled back to a P133. I have 64MB of RAM in it (donated the other
un-necessary 64MB to a friend who needed it) and it runs awesome. It is
extremely stable, and not hard to configure.
After install, I made sure to move my ftp and telnet ports to non-well
known ports.. at first I left ftp on 21, but was getting a lot of hits [all
refused of course :-) ] and so I figured to keep a low profile, I would
move them, haven't been hit since :-)). I am not running a web server yet
as I haven't had time to work on a suitable index page, but my web server
is available to my internal boxes.
At any rate, I have found that it (CoyoteLinux) normally runs on about 10MB
of ram, talk about a small footprint!! I would be willing to email you my
configs if you would like, I didn't setup anything extravagant, just what I
needed at the time.
It is extremely nice to be able to have my lan online 24/7 and telnet into
my box from work. Gonna look into installing SSH onto my fileserver soon
so that I can sleep even BETTER at night, knowing that I am quite well
protected.
Oh, as a side note, since Adelphia is my cable inet provider, and they
prohibit running servers, I find it QUITE convenient to have my open ports
off of the well known ports, that way if they scan for web servers and
such, I get past their probes, as they only probe the well-known ports :-)).
BTW.. anyone interested in embedded linux should check out axis.com they
have some AWESOME cards available.. **drool**
Hopefully I will be able to make a meeting one of these months, but my work
schedule is whacked..working graveyard with Mon & Tues evenings off.. :-((
Will also be working on installing/setting up MySQL on a box to work on a
database project at work, anyone with any tips/tricks/hints I would be MORE
than happy to talk to ya..
Gotta love the versatility of Linux.
Chaz?

Hello Charles,
That would be great if you could email me your configs or perhaps let
me ftp it. If you have a floppy sized copy (1.44mb) That I could
acquire, that would be fantasitic. I really appreciate your help,
Thanks! I have some experience with databases as far as Access is
concerned and I have setup a couple VPN and Terminal Services clients
for use with Databases, I may be able to lend a hand. I have found that
working with $indoz and Linux that it gives a unique perspective for the
whole picture and puts light on things that normally would'nt be shown.
I am very interested in learning MySQL. Please let me know about the
disk, I think it would be best if I could get a copy of your Coyote
router project, as you may show me configs in that that would differ
from the Linux router project that I have (2.9.8). Thanks again,
peter@thecybersource.com

The disk's are net-card specific at creation time, so one of my floppies
(of course I have backups) will likely not work on your system, but would
be glad to help you out on creating the floppies. As far as the configs,
here is that information.
rc.local.. which can be edited when you go into the network settings, it is
#3 and states (rc.local)
#!/bin/sh
#
# Coyote local command init script
#I am moving ftp off of port 21 as I am getting hit left and right..
#going to move it up with the telnet window

that moves your services offered off of the well known ports.. of course I
removed my specific information..
in "your-ip" of course you have to enter your specific ip address.. if it
is given to you via dhcp you may want to change this to be a network
interface.. I know my ip is pretty much always the same so I hard coded it
in.. and "open-port" should be off of the well known ports.. ie above 1024..
you will also have to change the internal net address of the box that you
are connecting to.. I have 192.168.x.x above.. you may have done internal
ip addressing differently than I did.
I know these settings don't offer the best security, but I have not seen
any hits in my logfiles since implementing these few rules.. I also suggest
that after you get your firewall/router setup you use a linux box and do an
nmap or some other form of portscan to see what else you have to close up.
On the MySQL database, I installed Mandrake 8.0 yesterday and it even has
MySQL as an installation option. Have some more work to do on the box, but
I am keeping a diary of the installation/setup that I would be willing to
share with anyone in the group that is interested in such things.
As far as Access, I don't use it.. as a matter of fact, that is why I
failed my DB class in school, I carried an A throughout the semester, but
the final project that was worth 50% of the grade was to be done in Access,
and I refused to do it.. teacher thought I was irrational, and was probably
correct.
The good news is that they are now using Oracle for the class project, so
when I retake the class there should not be issues LOL.. I don't mind
Oracle. Just M$

How's about Gnome 'logview'? Seems to be pretty decent and has filters, etc.

Well, I've reached the bitter end in the "Quest for Access", ISDN. From

ISDN tends to be expensive. on top of any ISP fees you're likely to have
to pay for the ISDN line installation and maintance, like with any other
phone line. but there are also usage fees on the line which are per
minute. isdn routers can cost any where from a few hundred dollars to
few thousand. the ones that i've worked with are external devices that
have rj-45 ports to connect to a hub/switch or x-over to you pc.
here's my isdn horror story. when the company i worked for moved last
summer verison went on strike and didn't get our T1 installed, another
horror story. we had an isdn line in our old building for backup and
isdn in the new complex. since we had the old building for a few months
we kept our T1 there and used isdn to bridge between the 2 networks. for
course when we where setting up the isdn routers it wouldn't dial out.
we had verison techs out to look at the line 5 times over a 2 week
period before they actually fixed the 3 or 4 seperate problems. in the
mean time we speaker netted our POP server over the the T1 to pickup
email, fun fun. it turns out that verison had the isdn setup to
translate like a cell phone, which took over a week to figure out.

I haven't tried ISDN, but have you tried a seperate box like the Linksys
cable/dsl sharing box?

Well, I've reached the bitter end in the "Quest for Access", ISDN. From
what little experience I've had w/ Linux and internet access, POTS/Modem
and Cable Modem, I would expect that ISDN access and routing to other
computers is a doable thing. But I have no clue and providers don't do
much to help! Has anybody had any experience with Linux/ISDN setups?
Any "gotchas" to look out for? It's still iffy if we can get ISDN, but
I'd like to be prepared.

Hi Greg.
Well can't help you here. The information I asked for from verizon when I
looked into ISDN is this yes its around $100.00 to install it and a small
monthly fee of around $10.00 to use the line, (but its a penny per minute to
use the service.) Also the price plan goes up is you want the commercial
line! (ie: slighty faster speed) otherwise it really is no faster than a
56kbps modem.
So knowing the time I spend online it would cost even more than a cable or
DSL modem and not be anywhere as fast.
My best advice is forget ISDN and get ether a cable or DSL modem. Their
faster and cheeper in the long run.
Well my two cents worth. Take it or leave it. Hope I was of any help?
Oh and by the way to all my friends at NFLUG this is smiling Ron the used
ISDN modem dealer. To all you suckers I mean to all you nice people out
there I have an ISDN modem to sale. Like new, Only use to dial out to church
on sundays by the little old fellow from Amherst. Its all yours for twenty
easy payments of one dollar with no interest charges. Call me at 677-5909 or
1-888-888-8888 and I'll sell you for five easy payments of two cents each
for a small book of smart remarks.
See ya};-)

That's probably the route we'll end up going. I look for the Linux
solutions first, though. Has a nice conversation w/ one of the techies at
our ISP who uses ISDN for much the same reason: can't get anything else.
He mentioned a "Pipeline 75" to be sure it has POTS jacks on the back,
that way we can double up w/ the fax machine. I'm checking into that.
Thanks!

Yeah, I should have been more specific: Adelphia wants $1000 a pole and
the estimate is @40 poles. We are "beyond the Pale" as far as DSL goes,
So ... as I said, the BITTER end ...

What are the specs on that modem? We may very well end up w/ this ISDN,
horror stories and all. And from Verizon, I've got some horror stories

Not at all! I was just trying to be funny. Just goes along w/ what I
expect for this kind of project: lots of "phone tag", a week or so after
the "you'll absolutely have it no later than" date the initial testing is
finally done, an unspecified period of time after that a good,
knowledgeable tech shows up w/ a hopelessly screwed up work order w/ the
proper parts for the work order, but not for what you want done, and
>eventually<, it all works! ;-)
I've been trying to get something (ANYTHING!!!) better than POTS out here
for 3 years now! :-( If we get lucky this time (3rd year's the charm?),
I'll probably leave the ISDN router thing alone and connect my SmoothWall
firewall to it, then parcel it out to the Windoze boxes. Hopefully, this
will end up being "a good thing" tm.!

http://lhd.zdnet.com/LDP/HOWTO/Thinclient-HOWTO.html
How to turn inexpensive legacy computers into fast terminals using the power
of your main computer, you will need : A fast computer to act as Server, A
client computer (old and unwanted). Linux compatible network cards. A
connection between computers.
How to centralise system administaration by useing NFS, ie placing the
entire file system of a faster client on the server.

Here's some information about a software design contest that may interest
the NFLUG:
DevelopOnline, http://www.DevelopOnline.com, a company that enables
developers to build embedded electronic products via the Internet, has
launched a Software Design Contest.
DevelopOnline provides pre-configured development environments for proven
microprocessor-based platforms. DevelopOnline provides development tools,
including a cross-compilation toolchain when appropriate. The developer,
however, has complete software control over the pre-configured device. All
of it is running Linux.
What this means is Linux users can access working reference designs,
configure Linux, and execute on a test board all within DevelopOnline's
secure environment.
The deadline to enter DevelopOnline's Software Design Contest is August 17,
2001. The winner will receive national recognition, plus $10,000. Fifteen
runners-up receive $1,000 each.
What is DevelopOnline looking for? Here's a sample of a few of the entries:
* Remote control of computer systems through cell phone/pager
* System power management
* Remote operation of a home security system through the Internet
If any of your members are interested, they can visit our Web site for more
information: www.DevelopOnline.com .

Thanks, Lawrence!
This looks "ultra-cool"! It may be the ticket for a more reasonable
distribution of resources around the house. And a "fun" project as well.

Samuel,
You have no idea who I am.. but I represent the IT
interests for Strates
Enterprises. You may know our name.. we manage the
midway at the Erie
County Fair, have for many decades.
I happened upon your name from the UB OpenSource
website. I have a bit of
a Linux situation and it just happens to be at the
Erie County Fair - no
really, dont laugh. Our Linux server is broken. The
server normally
dials into Earthlink and then uses IPMasq for the
clients to get out to
the net to check their e-mail, etc.. but it's not
dialing anymore!
We're based in Orlando, FL.. the weekend is
approaching and honestly I
don't want to fly to Buffalo. :) By chance could you
recommend a locally
based Linux consultant who could drive out to the Erie
County Fair, fix my
box, make a few bucks, and ride a few rides?
If you can, or know of someone you can.. PLEASE give
me a call or have
them give me a call -- 407-230-3024 or e-mail ASAP.
Thank you so very much!

This past Sunday we took an exploratory look at Fonts in Linux.
Here are some links to articles that will help any one interested in using
TrueType or Type 1 fonts on a Linux box in X, Printing and StarOffice.
FIRST: Read the Font HOWTO. It is a must to really understand the way fonts
work in Linux and make the whole font server vs. print server thign much
clearer:
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Font-HowTO-4.html
Then if you are interested in StarOffice the StarOffice documentation (appendix
on installing Fonts)can be better understood (although having read the above
may eliminate the need to read teh SO docs, but it's good info anyway. The
HOWTO goes into installing fonts in StarOffice actually less confusing than the
SO doc.
Then to Find FONTS go to :
http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=1193&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0
EVEN IF you don't use MAndrake the article is still worthwhile. Not only does
it point out where fonts can be retrieved, but also has a short discussion on
EULA's and the usability of "proprietery" fonts in an Open Source enviroment.
MY SUGGESTION. I read the Font How To and the thing that stuck out clearest
was LINUX supports Type 1 Fonts wihtout any hassle and there is a tool to
convert TT to Type 1 fonts GUES what I did, YUP converted my TT fonts to Type 1
and they work!
After doing all the steps manually you may feel that it is better done by a
single tool. Well that tool has been created and is made to work under KDE.
IT is called kfontinst and can be found at:
http://www.cpdrummond.uklinux.net/kfontinst
I wasn't able to get it to compile but if you have success please report your
findings.
The test I finally did when finished was to create the same document in
StarOffice and Word (with many different Font sizes, dimensions etc) and print
each document in the other app. I was able to see and print almost all the
fonts (still can't print Courier New from MS on a SO box :-( ).

Hello All,
I was just wondering this morning if this mail list had stopped or if I
had become removed or something because I havent had any mail from this in a
while, especially about last Sunday, which I apparently missed and would
have really enjoyed the Font topic, anyway, I have been majorly busy
scrambling to reconfigure my networks here as my current SDSL provider of 4
months is pulling out of the area. Luckily there is a provider taking over
for them but with new IP allocations and my router that cost $700 will not
work with there DSLAM. So as is becoming a practice, I have been turning to
Linux for help. I have downloaded and made a boot disk with the Linux Router
Project version 2.9.8 and have it up and running, completely running off ram
from a floppy, NO HDD NEEDED! Anyway, after searching all over on the net, I
have found nothing in respect to how to configure and use this. I am not
that savvy in configuring a router in the first place but the one that I did
have, was pretty simple. Does anyone have any experience in this? If so and
you think you might be able to help, I could explain my IP config's,etc.
What a great way to use that 486!(I currently have it on a p166). Any help
as always would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, peter@thecybersource.com

Well, I've been using the Coyote router project stuff and it has a configurator
that builds the initial floppy after asking a few questions. After it's
running, you can tweak some of the stuff from the 'lrcfg' program that's there
when you log in as root. I think that the linux router project stuff has a
configuration tool, too. If you log in to the router as 'root', what do you
get?
By the way, I have a customer with two LRP boxes running a VPN between them.
The reason that I can't remember how to configure them is because I haven't had
to touch them since they were installed many months ago :-)
Cheers!

Hey Bob,
Thanks for the reply, I tried emailing the guy at Coyote
(wecoyote@technologist.com) and his email\domain is down. On one of the
sites, it said that he would send a configured copy upon request, but I
havent been able to send him a request. When I log in as root, i get a very
simple menu. I am not sure how to do much past that point. Do you suppose I
could get a copy of yours or maybe you could guide me through its setup. As
in ip allocations, ethernet cards being recognized, etc. ?

Intel to boost Linux programming tools
By Stephen Shankland
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
August 22, 2001, 9:45 a.m. PT
Intel, one of the first mainstream companies to endorse the Linux operating
system, will release programming tools Thursday to make Linux programs run
better on its chips.
The chipmaker plans to announce compilers that translate Linux programs
written in C++ or Fortran languages into commands an Intel Pentium 4 or
Itanium chip can understand, the company said in a statement.
Compilers are key to making sure programs can take advantage of a chip's new
features, such as those that distinguish the Pentium 4 from its
predecessors, but the design of the Itanium family relies even more heavily
than most chips on the performance of the compiler.
The compilers will include several features
already
incorporated in Intel's compilers for Windows computers, including support
for the OpenMP standard for multiprocessor
computers, the chipmaker said.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel has been a backer of Linux, a clone of Unix
that's grown popular for use in servers--chiefly those based on Intel chips.
Releasing compilers helps write programs that show off Intel's chips to
their greatest advantage.
However, the standard compiler most Linux programmers use is GCC, recently
upgraded to version 3.0 . Scientific
programmers, the chief users of the Fortran language and people who often
write their own software, are often interested in squeezing every bit of
performance possible out of a chip.
Each Linux compiler is expected to be released in September as a $399
download or $499 CD on sale at Intel's software site
.

Oh by the way Bob I changed the video card and cd-rom so it installed. =
No problem! I did have to use a serial mouse though.
1.. Add the following line to the file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets:

the password are important to protect any special characters that might =

2.. Create, the following script, substituting the proper values for =

OK, here comes my glorious comback to the list. Hello to all of those
who know me...
I now work for Auria Networks, the second largest telco operator in
Finland. ISDN has been a lot more popular as a home user service over
here than in the US. One of my jobs is to monitor and maintain the IAS
systems that integrate the 5000+ local ISDN lines coming through the
telco switches with the IP network that leads to the Internet. Thus, I
have a whole bunch of ISDN lines coming into my office for testing
purposes, and I also have a fancy assortment of different ISDN adapter
cards at my disposal. In the last month I've had a good chance to test
these cards on this Linux box I have here, and I must say most of them
work quite as advertised. For most of them, Linux drivers do exist and
Mandrake 8.0 even regocnizes and sets them up during installation with
no trouble (usually =)). There also is a myriad of ISDN software tools
available for Linux. There's no shortage of dialers and configuration
tools. ISDN always beats POTS 56K modem line hands down, even when only
using one B channel for a 64K connections. And of course you can always
use the second B channel simultaneously for a 128K connection. The
establishment of the connection is almost instantaneus, since there's
none of the negotiateon hassle of analog modems. Because of this, ISDN
lines also work nice in dial-on-demand configurations. If you can't get
"real" broadband sevice to your house, I think ISDN is a very good
option, just as long as you ISP can provide some decent service and
reasonable pricing. I can't say Verizon could boast with such merits,
though...

Hey Pete,
I also run coyote Linux.. running it on what used to be my P166, which has
been scaled back to a P133. I have 64MB of RAM in it (donated the other
un-necessary 64MB to a friend who needed it) and it runs awesome. It is
extremely stable, and not hard to configure.
After install, I made sure to move my ftp and telnet ports to non-well
known ports.. at first I left ftp on 21, but was getting a lot of hits [all
refused of course :-) ] and so I figured to keep a low profile, I would
move them, haven't been hit since :-)). I am not running a web server yet
as I haven't had time to work on a suitable index page, but my web server
is available to my internal boxes.
At any rate, I have found that it (CoyoteLinux) normally runs on about 10MB
of ram, talk about a small footprint!! I would be willing to email you my
configs if you would like, I didn't setup anything extravagant, just what I
needed at the time.
It is extremely nice to be able to have my lan online 24/7 and telnet into
my box from work. Gonna look into installing SSH onto my fileserver soon
so that I can sleep even BETTER at night, knowing that I am quite well
protected.
Oh, as a side note, since Adelphia is my cable inet provider, and they
prohibit running servers, I find it QUITE convenient to have my open ports
off of the well known ports, that way if they scan for web servers and
such, I get past their probes, as they only probe the well-known ports :-)).
BTW.. anyone interested in embedded linux should check out axis.com they
have some AWESOME cards available.. **drool**
Hopefully I will be able to make a meeting one of these months, but my work
schedule is whacked..working graveyard with Mon & Tues evenings off.. :-((
Will also be working on installing/setting up MySQL on a box to work on a
database project at work, anyone with any tips/tricks/hints I would be MORE
than happy to talk to ya..
Gotta love the versatility of Linux.
Chaz?

Hello Charles,
That would be great if you could email me your configs or perhaps let
me ftp it. If you have a floppy sized copy (1.44mb) That I could
acquire, that would be fantasitic. I really appreciate your help,
Thanks! I have some experience with databases as far as Access is
concerned and I have setup a couple VPN and Terminal Services clients
for use with Databases, I may be able to lend a hand. I have found that
working with $indoz and Linux that it gives a unique perspective for the
whole picture and puts light on things that normally would'nt be shown.
I am very interested in learning MySQL. Please let me know about the
disk, I think it would be best if I could get a copy of your Coyote
router project, as you may show me configs in that that would differ
from the Linux router project that I have (2.9.8). Thanks again,
peter@thecybersource.com

The disk's are net-card specific at creation time, so one of my floppies
(of course I have backups) will likely not work on your system, but would
be glad to help you out on creating the floppies. As far as the configs,
here is that information.
rc.local.. which can be edited when you go into the network settings, it is
#3 and states (rc.local)
#!/bin/sh
#
# Coyote local command init script
#I am moving ftp off of port 21 as I am getting hit left and right..
#going to move it up with the telnet window
/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L your-ip open-port -R 192.168.x.x 21
#/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L your-ip open-port -R 192.168.x.x 80
#Added on 6/15 to enable portforwarding of web server
/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L your-ip open-port -R 192.168.x.x 23

that moves your services offered off of the well known ports.. of course I
removed my specific information..
in "your-ip" of course you have to enter your specific ip address.. if it
is given to you via dhcp you may want to change this to be a network
interface.. I know my ip is pretty much always the same so I hard coded it
in.. and "open-port" should be off of the well known ports.. ie above 1024..
you will also have to change the internal net address of the box that you
are connecting to.. I have 192.168.x.x above.. you may have done internal
ip addressing differently than I did.
I know these settings don't offer the best security, but I have not seen
any hits in my logfiles since implementing these few rules.. I also suggest
that after you get your firewall/router setup you use a linux box and do an
nmap or some other form of portscan to see what else you have to close up.
On the MySQL database, I installed Mandrake 8.0 yesterday and it even has
MySQL as an installation option. Have some more work to do on the box, but
I am keeping a diary of the installation/setup that I would be willing to
share with anyone in the group that is interested in such things.
As far as Access, I don't use it.. as a matter of fact, that is why I
failed my DB class in school, I carried an A throughout the semester, but
the final project that was worth 50% of the grade was to be done in Access,
and I refused to do it.. teacher thought I was irrational, and was probably
correct.
The good news is that they are now using Oracle for the class project, so
when I retake the class there should not be issues LOL.. I don't mind
Oracle. Just M$
Chaz?

How's about Gnome 'logview'? Seems to be pretty decent and has filters, etc.
Cheers!

Heh, I rarely use Gnome. Thanks for the info though. However, I quickly
discovered that RedHat 7.1 does not come with logview, whereas 7.0 did.
:) I love RedHat
