Here's the situation: I have an NT Server as PDC for my network consisting of Win98 clients. They access the Internet through the Linux box running IPMasqing/SuSEfirewall/wvdial.dod. I now want a Win98 client to be able to dialin to the network and access a database in the NT Server which is required by an application running on the Win98 client. Based on my readings, I have to do the following: 1. configure and run mgetty in the Linux box 2. configure and run samba with security = domain in the Linux box 3. configure Win98 client for dialup Can anybody care to give me some advice/hints on how to correctly implement this? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
I am thinking about getting rid of my OS/2 partition (my major OS until SuSE 6.0). Does anybody here know if there is an emulator (like wine for windows) that would allow me to run OS/2 apps under Linux ? Since IBM more or less devoted themselves to Linux there might be some development ?!?

I have an OS/2 partition (on my secondary computer) that I haven't used for over six months. What are you using in OS/2 for which there isn't a better version available under Linux? I'm dubious that anyone these days would find it worthwhile to provide any kind of OS/2 support, seeing as how IBM pretty much dumped it. About its only remaining use, I guess, is in legacy servers. So IBM hasn't been interested in client, i.e., end-user, programs for quite some time.

basically it comes down to 2 things: 1. My connection to the IBM Global Network which I haven't be successful to establish under Linux yet and 2. AmiPro which I used for all my wordprocessing since 1994. That is a bunch of documents :-) cheers - sasa -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
For your connection to the IBM Global Network, I assume you've realized that that is typically a SLIP connection, or at least it was when I was using OS/2. On 16-Mar-00 Sascha Graeber wrote:

There is VMware, which runs another OS inside of Linux though akind of
auto-magically emulation tricks, it might be able to boot an OS/2 session
inside of Linux. The graphics would suck and it eats your resources away
faster than anything, but it might be able to get OS/2 up long enough to get
your documents converted to standard ASCII or Star Office format. IIRC it
is http://www.vmware.com
As for your ISP, call them up and ask them if they support a "standard PPP
connection", if they say "Yes", get them to release some information, what
you will need to get a dialin working under Linux is
primary DNS, both IP and hostname
secondary DNS, both IP and hostname
gateway, both IP and hostname
dialin numbers, including area code
username and password
and if they assign a static or dynamic IP address (if static, get the
hostname and IP of the static IP that they assign to you)
Write this information down, hope up into KDE and mess around with KPPP and
see if you can get it up that way, should only take 10-15 minutes if you got
all the correct information, or the second (but not by far the last) way you
could get it up, is print the Linux PPP, Linux-Modem, and a couple other
docs from http://www.linuxdoc.org, sit down with a beer and read, then read
them again till it makes sense. I also think there is a GNOME GUI dialer
that could be used. Also check http://www.freshmeat.com and check under
both Console/X11/KDE/Gnome under the catergory "dialers".
Any problems or questions? Shoot one of to the list, someone here should be
able to help you.

Afraid not. According to vmware's web site they currently do not support OS/2 as a guest OS, but they might have in the future as separately licensed package. Avi Jack Barnett wrote:

I wouldn't say OS/2 is dead. Even though you, and even myself hardly use OS/2
anymore, its not. In businesses it is still very much in use. My company is
just now installing an Automated Operator/Voice-Mail system running on OS/2.
OS/2 is very much in use for Cash Registers at many businesses.
True, OS/2 is pretty much dead for home use now.
Myself, I just recently cut back on the size of my OS/2 partitions, pulled
Win-OS/2 support out of it, and installed Win98 to replace my DOS/Win3.1
partition. But I still have OS/2. I rarely use it true--but it still is my
platform choice at present for faxing (haven't been able to get that working
under Linux yet).
