problem with internal modem
by k_sapre＠softhome.net 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

Hi luggers , I've installed Mandrake 8.2 & I am having Motorola SM56 PCI internal modem on ttys3 or com4 . I am trying to connect to Internet thru Linux. I tried to configure my system using Mandrake Control Center , but when i clicked on "Connect" tab , it shows "connection failed" after sometime. When I list my hardware using HardDrake tool it lists my modem correctly , so I think Linux has recognised my internal modem . But when I click on properties for modem , it shows all details like vendor and all except for 'kernel modeule ' for which it says 'UNKNOWN' . So do i need to install driver ? Please Help . Thanx in advance . Kedar.

But what I was actually trying to say was that a lot of work still needs to be done. Linux has an upperhand in server-end applictaions no doubts about that. But in the desktop area, Windoze still rules. Perhaps, we should learn something from the way they make their UI's. We always say that Linux is enetring the desktop area, but slowly. Has anyone wondered how fast M$ is doing? If you have to race-em' you have to run faster.

If u are confident enough or want to experiment, try out the generic server or some other Xserver for asus chip and try it our if it works. However you need to have your card manual/user guide by your side as you may need the details.try it out. But be sure of what you are doing or you may thrash your system. However that may teach you a thing or two new about your system. The command for the same is Xconfigurator. to get a graphical login set the initdefault line in /etc/inittab to 5 happy experimenting. -->vinayak hegde ################################################# #Linux - The choice of the GNU Generation # ################################################# __________________________________________________________________________ http://dating.zeenext.com Log on to nextDATE.

so is that if mail has to be sent or received...a mta has to be present on each terminal.?? also is it possible to read mail via outlook or netscape ie. pop3 mails if the MTA is qmail?? linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in wrote: On Sun, 7 Jul 2002, akshaysalkar wrote: > when i try to telnet 192.168.0.1 25 > it says > connection refused why? > > however my telnet 127.0.0.1 25 > does accept the connection Please read the docs/faqs before posting questions. It happens like this most likely because your mail server is only bound to your loopback interface. What mail server are you using? If you're using sendmail, then read the faq at sendmail.org to see your solution.
