Diamond's SupraExpress series work well with Linux and are often recommended. I personally wouldn't recommend them as Diamond's tech support really really really suck with their autoresponders and start quoting legal stuff at you as soon as they find out you want support for something other than the recommended spec on the box.

Sorry I can't remember what distribution you're using, so I can't advise how to fix it permanently, but you could try using the "route" command to delete any route on the internal network. > I have a 3com ethernet card in the machine as well which has an IP > address of 10.10.10.2 this is configured at bootup with a default > gateway of 10.10.10.1. how do I change it all to work with PPP? It should just work, but why is there a gateway if this is the ppp machine... ie, is there another network beyond 10.10.10.1?

It's reportedly an improvement on NS4.7x in many respects, but incompatible in some others (third party plugins are troublesome at the moment) and has too much debugging code left in because they forked and fixed what is now quite an old Moz rather than maintaining a patchset. I'll wait a little, then try building a new Moz. MJR

Thanks to all who replied, for somereason, changing the cable allows it to work under kppp. I can now log into my isp and get an ip connection. but I can't get anywhere else as I think my default route and my DNS isn't configured right. Wont resolve names and pings don't work for any address other than the other end of my ppp link. I have a 3com ethernet card in the machine as well which has an IP address of 10.10.10.2 this is configured at bootup with a default gateway of 10.10.10.1. how do I change it all to work with PPP?

Has anybody tried running it under Linux yet? It's a bugger of a beast under Windows, and there are some rendering issues too, but I do like the new look and feel of it. Regards, Martyn -- Martyn Drake <martyn(a)alug.org.uk> http://www.alug.org.uk

Graphics cards
by David Freeman 15 Nov '00

15 Nov '00

All, I am about to upgrade my aging amd k6-2 PC. I have decided on most of the hardware I am going to use, except for the graphics card. Can any one recommend a good graphics card which will give good performance on a linux box, work with opengl linux games, and be good for gaming on other OS's? Also, has any one used the daimond 'hardware' modem (sorry no other details known)? Thanks D __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Linux Newbie PPP problem
by David Freeman 11 Nov '00

11 Nov '00

All, Before I get to the problem I am having I should really introduce my self. I am a 18 year old C programmer from Ipswich presently working for a telco in the area. I have been using linux for a while now, Redhat >5.2 + SUSE >6 at work. With suse 6.1, Tomsrbt and small linux at home. Up until now I have had no need to get ppp working, I did try a few months ago to get ppp working using kppp but found that the modem I was using needed a large driver (micro$oft windows). I recently aquired a 28.8 external modem which I have connected to one of my home PC's which is running Peanut linux. I have spent all evening trying to get ppp working and have failed. What I have done is this - * using O'reilly's TCP/IP network admin book I have tried * DIP using a small script as suggested in the book. gets to a login prompt but wont get any further * pppd with chat script, dials in then drops out * Kppp, initiases modem then drops out trying to dail. All this is done using the uklinux.net ISP. If any one can help I would be very Apprecitive. The machine is a amd k6 2/ 200 with 32MB ram duel boot with win95, 3 HD and a haupage TV card* + all the usual refinements. Thanks D * If any one knows how to get this working under Linux I would be interested. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products.
