USB Modem plug & play?
by Peter 01 Jan '04

01 Jan '04

Hi, before investing on a USB modem I'd like to ask someone here about issues. My system, Thinkpad 600x laptop, runs on Suse's 9.0 Pro edition. Suse was able to detect/configure my current MegaHertz/USR PCMCIA modem. It works well but I cannot get any speed higher than 34 even though it's rated to transfer up to 56. I'd like to switch to a modem with better transfer/compatibility but with the ease of portability. I've noted a few small pocket USB modems, hence my question below. Generally, are USB modems plug and play like most USB devices or do they require additional drivers/configuration? Thanks in advance,Peter LandySchenectady, NY _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding. Introducing My Way - http://www.myway.com

Configuring a Router
by Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. 31 Dec '03

31 Dec '03

I have just installed a Linksys router on my LAN. As I am functionally illiterate with regard to such things (it took me three days and many hours on the telephone to get my Win2000 box working with the router) what is the simplest way for me to get the linux machine on my LAN to communicate with the router? Oh yes, I have a DSL connection to the internet. Thanks in advance.

SUSE 2.6 Kernel as Soon as Summer 2004?
by Olipro 31 Dec '03

31 Dec '03

As I'm all sure everybody is aware (I hope) SUSE have announced their plan to release a 2.6 based version for summer of 2004, I have read that this will be for SLES9, have they discontinued their standard distro since this Novell purchase? I realise they haven't said anything like that; but put me out of my fear please. :P --------------------------------- SUSE - 1,000 Possibilities, not 1,000 Vulnerabilities Olipro - GTA Global <Olipro(a)GTAGlobal.net>

SuSE 9 Pro Loaded -- Some Questions?
by Colburn 31 Dec '03

31 Dec '03

I have successfully loaded SuSE 9 Pro on my notebook. I have been toying with the 82801DB AC'97 internal modem. Using the Hardware app brings up lots of information about the modem and dialup is set to use pppo. But ... no actual dialing is going on. It says it is using irq5 but Driver -- Modules -- Active says "No", and Modprobe says "Yes" and "modprobe slamrmo" Help? Thanks! doc -- "Wars and rumors of wars, disasters, and social decay, yet undaunted for love and peace we pray." dmc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyone using kmldonkey? Configuration and firewall help needed.
by Bob Pearson 31 Dec '03

31 Dec '03

I use Limewire Pro but have been very unhappy with number of hits it gives me in comparison to KaZaa. I wanted to explore using "kmldonkey" and I found out that there is almost zero documentation for it. It asks for a username and telnet password during configuration and I don't want to setup something that requires the use of telnet on my machine. Does this really require telnet or is it just an ascii protocol? Does anyone know what are the normal holes (port/protocol) to punch in your firewall? What do you uses as a server? Does it autodiscover peers? Thanks for any information. I sure can't find any and google is my friend.

To enable telnet server on Win2000 Server net start tlntsvr or Go to Computer Management->Services and Applications->Services. Telnet is listed and defaults to manual startup. Change that to automatic if you want it to run every time. See http://is-it-true.org/nt/nt2000/atips/atips13.shtml for tips.
