Dear Guys I used a e-mail address from Austria and not from Australia. I am living in the UK for the time being and therefore I have got a lot of troubles to get a cheap internet connection.

If you are in Australia go for "iinet" as it offes 20gig for $90 at 1.5 and so far it has auto installed on suse and xp (once the router is set up) no probs at all. xtremely pleased customer here!

Chris

Well, if his email address is any indication, he's in Austria, right?

Actually, Randall .au is Australia. Maybe they don't have literacy classes where you are. Chris

BT may not support Linux, but Linux supports BT. When we have had problems, especially with dial-up, asking whether they supported pap or chap and have been met with "We don't support LINEUX (yeuuKKK!)", Pete Nikolic and myself developed a standard reply, "Look pal, if I wanted Linux support, you'd be the last person on the planet I'd ask, I'm quite capable of doing that myself, I just want to know whether you use pap or chap". Pete uses BT broadband with a Linksys router and I think he is contemplating inserting the Linux firewall between his internal network and the router.

I have tried to get answers to technical questions from BT without much success. They were completely unwilling to discuss their mail setup and insisted I run Outlook before they would consider diagnosing a broken POP3 connection. Different techies gave different answers about their configuration, about what they do and do not permit and about how to migrate out! But there's no need to use BT; it's a free market! Go to adslguide.org.uk for info on providers and browse their sites or call them to find out their attitude and competence. Which one you pick will also depend on whether you like big or small companies and what you want in the way of email, webspace, domains, scripting capabilities etc.

I got to know that I have to get a router. Is that right? If yes - Is it difficult to configure a router? Pete uses BT broadband with a Linksys router and I think he is contemplating inserting the Linux firewall between his internal network and the router.

All things are possible but an external ADSL-modem-plus-ethernet-router-switch box definitely simplifies life. Mine's a Linksys WAG-54G. Very, very easy to configure using Mozilla or any other browser. Cheers, Dave

I'm trying to monitor packets from a cisco's interface using tcpdump. I'm pushing traffic from my linux box's serial interface to the cisco's serial. The configuration in the cisco will wrap the serial and forward it as IP. My problem is: which command can I use to write to my linux box's serial. If I can use cat, can someone give me the correct syntax? for eg cat file.conf > /dev/tty?

Pushing traffic? Or are you trying to configure the Cisco router? Try using seyon on the linux box to connect to the serial interface on the Cisco router.

I'm sending traffic to the cisco. Cisco is already configured. I just want to see how the cisco is handling the data it is receiving from the linux serial device. So it is just a test data i'm sending from the linux box through the cisco.

IP.

What do you mean by "wrap the serial"?

OK. I'm sending serial traffic from serial devices over an IP network. So the cisco will receive the serial stream on its serial port and 'wrap it with' IP to the destination cisco. The destination cisco will then unwrap the packets and deliver serial via its serial port to another serial device. What I want to do is to monitor the IP packets in the cisco to figure out sizes of the wrapped packets. That's all. So I just wand to generate some serial traffic from the linux box into the cisco, and I needa simple linux command to help me with that. A fried suggested I could use cat filename > serial port. But both he and I don't know the correct syntax.
