Yes, I tried Commerce, Communication and Proxy withing the 60 days server trial. It's nice to configure the Netscape servers via Netscape menues... > I am also looking at apache-ssl, but the CA delays may force me to > go with Netscape and BSDI (if necessary). What are CA delays ? BTW, a good way to accelerate you WWW Server is the harvest object cache. Look for cached in the ports section. Cached can act as a fast http accelerator, that serves incoming http requests very quickly if they can be answered from the cache. The accesses can be speed up from 3 to 200 accesses per seconds, if the requests can be fed from the cache... The other configuration is to use cached as fast Proxy Cache... It's much faster than Netscapes Proxy. And you can cascade proxies, Netscape can't (sisn't find it yet). Note, cached can only act as http accelerator or Proxy Cache. If you need both, then you need two cached's configured for the purpose you need. Cached is so fast, because it never forks, keeps some kind of objects in memory to be fast, uses non blocking I/O. I threw away Netscapes Proxy, because cached is blindingly fast ;-) http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/httpd_accel.html http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/FAQ.html http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/Home.html Andreas /// -- andreas@knobel.gun.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ - Support Unix - aklemm@wup.de - \/ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz apsfilter - magic print filter 4lpd >>> knobel is powered by FreeBSD <<< From owner-freebsd-isp Mon Jan 29 03:35:45 1996 Return-Path: owner-isp Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id DAA24031 for isp-outgoing; Mon, 29 Jan 1996 03:35:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from news1.gtn.com (news1.gtn.com [192.109.159.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id DAA24016 Mon, 29 Jan 1996 03:35:42 -0800 (PST) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by news1.gtn.com (8.7.2/8.7.2) id MAA23695; Mon, 29 Jan 1996 12:30:18 +0100 (MET) Received: from knobel.gun.de (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by knobel.gun.de (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id MAA02295; Mon, 29 Jan 1996 12:16:25 +0100 (MET) Date: Mon, 29 Jan 1996 12:16:25 +0100 (MET) From: Andreas Klemm To: Jonathan Hahn cc: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Latency problem with pppd/Telebit Netblazer In-Reply-To: <199601280827.AAA17566@and.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-isp@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Sun, 28 Jan 1996, Jonathan Hahn wrote: > I am using pppd under FreeBSD 2.1, my ISP (Bay Area Internet > Solutions) has a Telebit Netblazer.

When I switched from FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 to FreeBSD 2.X (don't remember exactly the release), then the Xyplex Terminal Server of my ISP simply hung (the whole t-server!). The problem could be tracked down. So after disabling VJ compression completely on the Xyplex for my machine (ppp account) cured the problem.

I wan't to see if the particular dial in port has no activity for more then 15 min then I wan't to disconnect user on that port. Is there any options you can specify in FreeBSD which will allow you to do this? This problem is solved when user log's in with the PPP connection. There is an option for setting timeout in the "ppp.conf" file to do this. Please send your replay to tpatel@ecpi.com Thanks for taking time.

Whatever you do note that SLIP and PPP connections don't update the modify time, so they appear idle when they're not. -- Alan Batie ______ batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / Freedom for me to be and do +1 503 452-0960 \ / only what *you* approve of 45 28 59 N / 122 43 20 W / 440' MSL \/ is no freedom at all.

If the idle time is greater than 20 minutes (or whatever) then the script kills the process. The script would be run by root as a cron job every 20 minutes or so. I'm no perl wizard, but it doesn't sound to complex a script to write if you know any perl.

I know the one in Quarterdeck IntenetSuite is good. At least it allows user to dial to different providers.
