It is certainly unusual but I don't see it being a problem. It is I guess sort of like have two or more DNS entries pointing to the same IP address.

Hi All, I have an unconnected local subnet. I have one machine on it so far. I wonder what will be the effect if I have two entries in the /etc/hosts file for the same machine? 192.168.1.9 johannes johaness.blanco.org 192.168.1.9 geeklog geeklog.net Is this kosher? resolveip seems to find both entries. max. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Sprint CA
by bobbrews-VBJBm02B4Ag＠public.gmane.org 14 Aug '03

Hi All: Have got both Mandrake 7.0 and Red Hat 7.2 operating well with my present IP. Because I have dispatched Bell as my local phone company and changed over to Sprint Canada I am trying to setup and internet connection with Sprint. Sprint Tec Support is NO help at all. DLC and Echo are not available to me because I am not with Bell. If anyone on the list uses Sprint Canada as their IP, could you send me a copy of your Sprint Linux Login Script. I have been unable to get a connect with Mandrake. I get an Authentication Failure. With Redhat 7.2 I get garbage after a connect. I'm using KPPP with Mandrake and KPPP and RedHat Dialer with RedHat. Many Thanks, Bob Bob Brewster O.S.L. Toronto, Ontario, CANADA E-Mail bobbrews-VBJBm02B4Ag at public.gmane.org E-Mail bobbrews-VBJBm02B4Ag at public.gmane.org -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Supposedly keycodes 112 - 127 are unused so you can do: According to dumpkeys on my system though, everything up to 119 is used setkeycodes e05e 120 You can then use key 120 for something in loadkeys. To make it a modifier key I guess you have to look at how alt and such are defined and do something similar. > Suppose I figure this out, I will know how to refer to the key. > > I will not know how to map the key to a function calling up "ctrlaltdel"; > I will only know how to map the key to such madeup functions as > "Console_1". Well 'Boot' is the codeword for reboot it seems. There are keywords for a few things, but I have no idea if you can add any. > Please help. > > I have tried... Well I can't figure out how to create a meta key, but maybe I just haven't looked hard enough. Nor have I found how to create a power off button on the keyboard.

Suppose I figure this out, I will know how to refer to the key. I will not know how to map the key to a function calling up "ctrlaltdel"; I will only know how to map the key to such madeup functions as "Console_1".

Now it is possible that on a modern mac the modem is a software modem (aka winmodem style), but I really have no idea. The ibook3 apparently uses a conexant software modem chip, which works OK with the appropriate non free drivers installed. Perhaps output of lspci would help identify the modem.

Hi all, I have debian/woody release up and running on my powerpc. I would like to get my modem working with linux; it works with the MacOS ppp. I have two problems: minicom doesn't work (lacks an include .h file - likely debian doesn't include this in the proper directory) and I don't know how to use chat. So either way, I'm sunk. All I ask is a simple dialout chat script to check that the lights flash and the external modem picks up hook. I can write the perl wrapper to cycle through the /dev/ttyS*... that is unless anyone knows which /dev/ port the modem connects through on a mac. max. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
