[SuSE Linux] isapnp.conf now works :-) BUT kppp still says modem busy

Hi there, Thanks for the help! There were lots of weird M type characters in the .conf file, I fixed it ran pnpdump and got the following output: [start] lspci not found, so PCI resource conflict not checked Board 1 has Identity a9 ff ff ff ff 36 42 63 0e: CSC4236 Serial No -1 [checksum a9] Board 2 has Identity 7b fe db eb ab 31 30 72 56: USR3031 Serial No 4275825579 [checksum 7b] Board USR3030/-1612403801 not found - skipping [end] So I told YaST that the modem lived under Com1, entered ISP info and nameserver. Made sure there was no .lock in ppp/options and punched all the info in kppp, but it still just says "modem busy" In the BIOS setup, I set the irq for Com1 to ISA type instead of PCi/PnP And under the motherboard options I changed com1 form auto to disbaled. So I'm baffled again, but at least something has been accomplished :-) Please help if you can, Cheers!

[SuSE Linux] Thank you all!!!

Thank you all for helping me this days so much. This is the first mail I'm sending within Linux and it feels great! My PPP connection is up and running! Besides the "lock" option I had to comment, I've found out, to my ashame that I haven't the PPP compiled into the kernel! I was used with Red Hat where this was done by default. Instead, the guys from SuSE included radio modems in the kernel, and no PPP. when doing a standard installation. Interesting.. Again, thanx to all those who bothered to answer to my help request messages.

[SuSE Linux] Electronic Funds Transfer
by tjhanson＠tscnet.com 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

I've become interested in EFT. My interest is in creating software which would initiate electronic transactions through the ACH system, both debit and credit. I would like to give Linux and/or coders the ability to have users make secure payments electronically from a financial application over the Internet. While I have no interest in writing the next Quicken, I would like to give whomever does write financial software the ability to give users the option of paying bills electronically. Does anyone know of a resource for learning the ACH system well enough to send money through it? -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] Humor...
by dizzy73＠connix.com 01 Apr '99

March 30, 1999(Seattle) -- Microsoft announced today that it will provide office furniture with its software. The next release of Windows, code named Naugahyde, will include the Microsoft Chair at no extra charge. "This is a natural for us," a Microsoft spokesperson said. "We've conquered the desktop, so we're looking at way of expanding our installed base." The spokesperson denied accusations that bundling constitutes an unfair competitive advantage. "We're just listening to our customers. They've asked for more built in features, and who doesn't use a chair when they're at their computer? Especially when they're waiting for Windows to reboot." Beta testers noted its large footprint and found the chair to lack substantial features found in most of the competition. But when asked if they dislike it enough to purchase another vendor's furniture, most stated that they would just take what Microsoft had to offer. Also in the works is a small seat, dubbed the Microsoft Stool, soon to be bundled with laptops. Beta testers were surprised to find the backless chair at their doorsteps. "Then again, it's not the first time we've received a shrink-wrapped stool sample from Microsoft," noted one breathless customer. -- Linux Home page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] Progress: but help... Now hanging on "Modem Ready"
by mcdo148＠ibm.net 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

Hey everyone, Glad to hear you got your modem working BTW Dizzy :-) Well, I went into my BIOS and changed the motherboard com1 thing from disabled to a different address, and slight progress has been made on the kppp front. Now kppp says "Modem Ready" and then just sits there. I know I've had this problem before, I had it with 5.3 originally I'm pretty sure. I know I fixed it, I just can't remember how... Any suggestions welcome! Cheers!

[SuSE Linux] 2.2.5 and the dell inspiron
by mperry＠basin.com 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

I have heard that the experimental drivers for sound support for the Dell Inspiron 7000 PII 366mhz system are included in the 2.2.5 kernel. Has anyone using a dell inspiron attempted the sound card installation or support? I dont recall the sound card type but have heard that they are available in 2.2.5. Thanks. It also appears that XI has released a version 5 of their video drivers and that they are now glibc based which makes things a lot better. Has anyone upgraded to these drivers? -- Michael Perry mperry(a)basin.com ---------------------- -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] Leafnode
by andyford＠nothnbut.net 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

Hi I'm trying to start using a localhost nntp server called leafnode. The instructions for leafnode instruct me to run the program "fetch", which actually goes out and gets the news, as user "news". Unfortunately, news gets the error: Could not open lockfile /var/run/fetch.lck for writing, abort fetch ... Sould I change the permissions on the dir (seems like a bad idea...) or run fetch as root?
