Try increasing your TTL (Time To Live) values (via TCP TTL xxx 
where xxx is the value you want to assign.  It defaults to either 8 or 16.
I think that 32 or 64 is a better value if you want to communicate over large
distances, espcially given the number of routers large networks can have
in place.)  I beleive that this value is decremented by every network router
that your packet goes through.  It governs only the packets sent by your machine
to the remote machine.  So even if packets from a remote machine are getting
to your machine, your response packets are probably not getting back because
they time out before they get there.

I thought it was "start telnet", but that may be only for the DOS version
of KA9Q.  I haven't started up incoming telnet on my LINUX box yet.  Another
thing to look at is the number of ptys on your box.  Doesn't KA9Q use ptys
for the incoming telnet sessions.  If you don't have enough, it may just
give up and close the connection.

Date: 29 Sep 92 16:30:50 GMT
Organization: Mathematics and Computer Science, Aalborg University

Hello all -
I just installed Linux from scratch mainly for programming purpose but ... no can do!

I got two essential problems:

1)  GCC dies with ::  fatal signal 11
  I know that this was disused  a while ago but I thought somebody might have a solution by now.
2) Everything from binutils.tar.Z gives me a SEGMENTATION FAULT when I try to use it => I cant
  recompile the kernel in parts to try and get GCC to work (This solution to the signal 11 problem,
  was suggested some while ago)

My configuration:

33 MHz 386 128 kb cache _NO_ 387
4 MB RAM & 4 MB swap file

The newest boot and root images (0.97pl6? got them from Finland!)

Everything else seems to work just file (including X11 !) but GCC is what i actually needs !
So I hope somebody can help me out.

I called maxtor and told them of my woes with my drive.  Mine has a
pcba number of 52.  What they told me is that my drive just doesn't
work well in a "faster machine like a 486/33."  (That's what I have.)
They didn't seem to think using a unix clone was an important part of 
the problem.  So I have also ordered a replacement.

Well, I don't care much what they think the problem is as long
as I get a drive that works.  I suppose you're glad to hear that this
is a hardware and not a linux problem, Linus.  We maxtor drive owners
have been giving you a lot of grief I suppose.

Subject: Stupid question: where are emacs patches?
Date: 5 Oct 92 23:27:02 GMT
Organization: Universite de Montreal

This is a dumb question but I can't compile emacs-18.58.  I got the original
sources from MIT and I'm looking for the patches that will allow it to compile
on Linux?  Mine doesn't compile right out of the box and the FAQ says nothing
special.

I see that the sources on all the ftp sites contains the original sources so I
guess there must be something I'm doing wrong.  For one thing, when compiling
etc/server.c, I get a "sys/ipc.h and sys/msg.h" don't exist.  Hmmm...

In the src directory, the make fails for dispnew.c because the macro:

PENDING_OUTPUT_COUNT

Is all messed up.  Maybe I'm just not using the proper include files.  I'm
using:

s-usg5-3.h and m-intel386.h

If something else needs to be done can someone out there tell me what?  And
could somebody possibly add it to the FAQ so that the next clueless individual
that tries to compile it won't be as lost as I am...

Thanks for your help.

Sure... there is a dumb 4-port card made by Boca.  It will support up to
8 ports (when upgraded) and uses an ST16C554 chip (quad 16550).  It has a
row of RJ-45 connectors (8 of them) on the mounting bracket.

It comes with 4 db-25 to RJ-45 adapters, each with 6 pins wired.

I can sell you a new card (fresh out of the box) for US$135, equipped for
4 ports.  (Shipping and insurance from the state of Washington: $10.)

Subject: Bug in partition table code?
Keywords: partition table,LILO,MINIX
Date: 6 Oct 92 15:01:08 GMT
Organization: none

I think I have found a serious bug in the detection of the start of the
first partition on an IDE disk.

When I tried to setup LILO (version 5) to boot Linux from the harddisk, with
the root file system on /dev/hda1, it writes its boot sector to Cylinder 0
Head 0 Sector 2 while the partition starts on Cylinder 0 Head 1 Sector 1.
It worked fine when I tried it from a floppy disk.

Also when I put the bootsector in the correct place by hand (Norton disk
editor), it works fine, except that it's in the middle of the inode tables,
as I discovered when I put a large .tar.Z file on the hard disk and couldn't
boot any more because the bootsector had been overwritten.

I then tried to reinstall Linux on the harddisk. I filled the first part of
the partition, including the space between the MBR and the start of the first
partition with zeros. I found out that mkfs writes its first information
on Cylinder 0 Head 0 Sector 4. So I suspect that the problem lies in the
calculation of the first sector of the partition.

Here is the info that fdisk prints in expert mode:

        Disk /dev/hda: 15 heads, 17 sectors, 1001 cylinders

        Nr AF  Hd Sec  Cyl  Hd Sec  Cyl  Start   Size ID

There is a bug in man(1).  The following patch will fix this behavior
(thanks to Willem Kasdorp (wkasdo@nikhefk.nikhef.nl) for sending me the patch,
and thanks to Beaker for testing it with the problem he noticed):

This is a very busy semester for me.  I will get a new version of man(1) out
in November or December, and it will include this patch (which has already
been sent to the author of this version of man), and patches for makewhatis
that work on NET-2 files and cat files.  If anyone would like to put this
together for distribution sooner, please contact me and I'll send you the
patches.

Subject: really odd disk problem..

Over the weekend, I upgraded my meager 386sx-16 to an AMD 386/40 with 8 megs
of ram, all seemingly went well, until I try to install Lilo..

According to fdisk, my drive is

832 sectors x 6 cylinders x 33 sectors = approx 80 megs

I know for a fact that the drive is 124 megs (Maxtor 7120a)

According to the installation, in order to get the disk to work with dos, it
suggested a user definable drive of:

936 X 16 cyclinders X 17 sectors = 124 megs

All works fine, no matter what happens..  I've compiled 0.97pl6 from this
drive, along with lilo, tin, and minicom (today..) when I try to install
lilo, it appears to work, but rebooting does nothing, and I am forced to
boot off floppy..


but here's where it gets weird:

when booting from floppy, I get 'partition table ok' and it loads the
partitions (hda1=root, 62 or so megs) hda3=/usr, 55 megs, and an 8.5 meg
swap partition (not currently used)

When going into fdisk, under Extra functionality, I change the 832x6x33 back
to 936x16x17 and save the changes..  they are NOT written to disk and
nothing changes..  All the CMOS settings are 936x16x17.  This is the only
drive and it has worked fine, except that it is really screwed up according
to linux..  I'd rather not repartition it and lose everything, but if it is
a fix, I will do so..

On a related note, using X11v2.0: since switching motherboards, X no longer
finds its RGB database and everything is black or white, no text is
visible..


I have fsck'd all 3 partitions, and get no errors, but the fdisk listing the
different partition information and lilo's refusal to load suggest something
may be screwed up in the partition table..

needless to say, my apologies for this stream of consciousness style post,
and any and all help will be greatly appreciated..

Probably when 0.98 gets stable. :)  Hold your horses - it'll be out soon. :)

Summary: PC-mouse?  TeX GUI?

Two quick questions:

    1. I have the chance to get a PC-Mouse (Mouse Systems model M2). Does
       anyone know if it'll work with X386?  I'm using Xega, which is hard-
       coded for Microsoft mice, so I can't verify anything.

    2. Someone a short while back mentioned something about a front end to
       TeX.  S/he implied that it was a wysiwyg editor of sorts based on TeX
       and that it had been ported to Linux.  Does anyone have more info on
       this they could pass on to me (like where to get it)?

Please reply via email.  Thanks.

The previous appends on this topic refer to SCSI-attached tape drives,
and comment 
on there being a lack of SCSI device drivers at present.

It is my understanding that Colorado Memory Systems and Irwin backup
tape drives
attach, not via SCSI, but via the IDE connection already in use for the floppy
disk drives. They interpose themselves as a two-sided connection between tape
drive and cable, effectively daisy-chaining.

If this is the case, a SCSI driver would not be needed -- hopefully the
tape drive
could just ride on the floppy driver.

Anybody have experience under LINUX with any of these IDE tape drives?
