Dear ISP'ers, First, Thanks to everyone who has written me, you guys have been a big help, the line or 2 (or more) that many of you have written has made a big difference. Thanks Again. I am not connected to the net, aside from a UUCP feed that cost me $50 a Meg,.. I can't even sign up to lists because almost all of them run over a meg or 2 every month.. I have written a few times, so I don't want you guys to think I am just lazy, I just don't have any other source. By the way, everything I figure out, is going to be replicated on six other servers in a month or so, when I do get an IP feed. It will be heaven. ( Noboby has installed Internet in the Chernobyl Zone guys, I can stick a router up an go home, but thats not any fun is it?) Here is what I have I have a 9 node LAN, all machines running Windows 95, Novell 3.11, and FBSD. (11 Computers) there are 2 Modems on the BSD box and 4 laptops with modems floating around, I have a UUCP feed to the net, (*.wvb.gomel.by) with 5 subdomains, I also have about $12,000 to connect my town to the internet. So... I set up wvb.gomel.by on FBSD (I was using UUPCex before). connected it to the LAN. I then loaded IP on all the nodes, and started running named, then I set up Samba, POP, Apache, UUCP, and Microsoft Exchange as well as a dozen or so other little tweaks, made it all work in Russian. Again, Thanks, Many of you have filled the wholes in the handbook and Faq.. Now I have to set up PPP so the laptoppers can call in for their mail. and I have a few more questions.. I have sucessfully called and downloaded the mail, but, There is no login prompt, it connects and starts the PPP, It also does not give IP addresses and DNS. although I have put Login and all the IP comments in the /etc/ppp/options file, does this all need to be on the command line? I have added the -d debug option to the command line but I get no file, There is no mention of it in syslog.conf, should there be? PPPD exits after the first call, does it need to be reloaded after every call? I am using the scripts from the handbook. Is there a PPPD FAQ somewhere? If someone has it, is it BIG? (I have a 100k limit on the feed) What is the REAL meaning of life? Anyways, Thanks for reading this, and as always, I am willing to pay the poeple who help me, Please include your ground address. I am in the former soviet union, so you'll get 50 former soviet rubles for helping. <g> Yours, Dave
