Subject: [Ham-Linux] Modem problem
Message-ID: <003501c30ae6$62dfdd20$f0720cd8@oemcomputer>

I have a TP770 with the factory 33.6K pcmcia modem running Debian.

I can't get the modem to dial out with "pon" only if I run ifconfig, then
ping the P-t-P addr. under ppp0. Then the modem will dial out and connect.

However I can then ping ip addr. but not URL's. When I ping a ip addr. I get
100% packet loss.

LYNX can't seem to find any URL's

But others have said they can see me pinging a ip addr. and the ip addr. is
responding but they aren't making it back to my system?

Any ideas?

Been fighting with this for 3 days now...

Well the ip but not the url is due to not having the /etc/resolve.conf entrys
something like the following (using your isp's dns servers)

nameserver 208.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver 208.xxx.xxx.xxx

perhaps you would like to use microsofts dns servers rather than ur isp's <g>

nameserver 207.46.138.20
nameserver 213.199.144.151

Message-ID: <006d01c30b50$8fb07020$16720cd8@oemcomputer>

I have given up on the modem on my laptop so I have a few other smaller
questions.

First, I am very new to linux so I need very descriptive replys, so you
might reply directly to me.

1. Which of the 3 windows manager (gdm,kdm,xdm) uses the least amount of
system resources?

2. I am presently using KDE by default, how do I change it to default to the
reply from question #1?

3. I have downloaded and made a CD-ROM of some software and packages I want
to install on my system. How do I tell linux to install them from the CD?

I am running the latest stable version of Debian Woody

None of these are actually window managers. They are login managers.  In
order (IIRC) they are for Gnome, KDE, and raw XFree86.

Window managers would be things like Sawfish, Enlightenment, FVWM2,
BlackBox, ICE, etc.  Of the bunch FVWM2, ICE, and BlackBox have smallish
resource footprints. I'm a gnome user so I'm not sure which of them is
best integrated (or possibly another one) with KDE.

KDE isn't a window manager.  Its an environment that runs on top of the
window manager. The two main contenders here are Gnome and KDE. You
don't absolutely have to have one or the other.  You can run without
one.

I can't help you much with this one. (I'm a RedHat user)  I'd guess it
will involve use of the Debian apt-get program.

Subject: [Ham-Linux] Kpsk
Message-ID: <3EABC7DD.3040701@gwi.net>

I posted this on the Qrp-L list and someone pointed me to this list so 
here goes.

I've a new (to me linux box ) that I want to use for Psk 31.  I've 
loaded it with Red Hat 8.0 and everything except the networking with my 
Windows box ( thats another story) is working .. I down loaded KPSK and 
did the config and Make and it istalled great.. got it up on the desktop 
  so one click will take me to it. But I can't get it to work properly. 
  The water fall works but the amount of band spread id very limited all 
the signal are very small and on the left hand side of the display. 
when I click on a signal I get just random jibberish for out put in the 
text window.  no deceriable text.  When I try to trans mit  nothing it 
will key the rig but no signal out put from the sound card.  Any 
suggestions where to start would be appreciated.  Also will have to get 
a real modem for the box since the winmodem that came with it does not 
work. (haven't as yet found any linux drivers for it any way.. )
Thanks  Please reply to me direct and off the list as I'm not a member 
of the list yet , though have submitted my application.
