Well, normally it _doesn't_, but I saw a package some weeks ago (on www.linuxnow.com, I think - but you should be able to find it everywhere ;-), it's the bind daemon, version **8**, and it looks like it DOES... I'm sorry I can't provide you with more information, because it's a while ago and I can't remember, but I know I saw it !!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Printer messed up!
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

Hi all!; Steve and I have been working on the apsfilter. But now I have another problem that has me dead in the water. I tried to print a one page picture file. I did it wrong and Lpr started to dump the raw file to the printer (i.e. 10101 etc). It is around 60 pages long. So I tryed the remove command, nothing. Then I checked with the lpq command the que was empty. I logout, then did init, and at last a reboot. Nothing stops my printer! Right now I have it turned off, but I'm still getting error reports to /var/log/messages. How do I get the SOB to stop? Thanks for your help.

I always had to use a "telephone line simulator" which is a little device that provided line voltage and a simulated ring. -----Original Message----- From: zentara [SMTP:zentara@mindspring.com] Sent: Thursday, April 02, 1998 12:38 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [S.u.S.E. Linux] connecting 2 machines via modems with no phone Hi, I want to do some testing of mgetty. I remember at one time there was a way of getting 2 modems to connect, without a phone line; that is, with just a phone wire between the 2 modems. You set ATX0 for blind dialing on the originator, then ATDT. On the receiver, you went offhook with ATH1, then an ATA to answer. When I did this under dos, they would connect. This dosn't seem to work under minicom. Has anyone heard of someone testing this way? And what a good procedure would be? zentara -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuperX for win95
by alfiesty＠chaffee.net 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

I am trying to use superx, available on "www.winsite.com" to connect my Win95 box in the house with the linux box in the shop. When it loads it goes out and finds the Linux box but returns a message "Fatal Server error :unknown host:192.168.1.254" now this is the IP address I gave SuSe during installation and I can telnet and ping to this number. Do I need a port number? Which one? Sure like to be able to work in the house, its ~30 Meters to the shop and we are still seeing 5 degrees (F) at nite around here.
