Many thanks to those who tried helping with my earlier questions on compiling
the network driver I thought that I needed.
Anyway, another question. I have an EtherExpress 16 network card the
system I'm trying to set up as a linux box. Linux refuses to believe it's
there

Hi all,
how can I make my linux to stabilish a dial up conection to another
system ( say a ISP )?? I did not find the correct way to configure my
fax/modem There will be a problem if I have a fixed Ip address??
Can I get one automatically by DHCP ???
Thanks in advance!
Clovis Sena.
Has anyone ever gotten better than 320x200 with the above setup?
As far as I can tell there is no native driver for this card. Is Matrox
still withholding specs on their cards? I'm running the latest Debian
packages of svgalib from slink.
It doesn't. pppd redirects stdin/stdout to be the proper device before exec'ing

John,
I have been using an EtherExpress 16 card in my hamm system for a few weeks
and have had no trouble with it.
When I installed my hamm system, there was a menu of optional modules which
could be compiled in. One of the choices was EtherExpress.
Perhaps you are experiencing an IRQ conflict,

I'm about to buy a new machine and wonder for which hardware to go. It won't
be an expensive machine so I consider a cheap 3D AGP graphics card but
wonder which one can be used under X. Also what's the better buy for the
money, Pentium II or K6 II?

Look at the pppconfig package (to find it's full path, grep for it in

It has a configuration that pretty much should get your manual modem connection

Can a Debian Guru lend some assistance?
I have been looking for comprehesive information on Debian APT, and
found almost nothing. I am interested in a tutorial, both as a
dselect method and as a standalone.
I understand that an Apt command-line and gui client are available.
Are these in Slink?
I'm having trouble getting dselect to find new packages.
I chose the Access method as ftp and pointed it to ftp.debian.org, and
went with the defaults. I then chose Update and it went through all the
different sections and said that the packages were already updated.

I can solve this simply by killing X and restarting but is there a better

I think you can enter

You want a console shell? Try the keys:

The others will give a login prompt. If you want back to X, it's
