How much does the Blinux CD-ROM cost (yes, postage is INCLUDED!): 
Germany:   10 DM 
Europe:    70 Austrian Schillings,
          200 Belgian Francs,
            4 British Pound
           35 French Francs
        10000 Italian Lira 
USA:        7 US$ 
World:      7 US$

If I get stuff cheaper (CD-ROMS, envelopes) prices will go 
down further. If there should accumulate money, it will be
donated for software development touched by Blinux project.

How to pay?:  
Put the money as bank notes in an envelope between a leaf of
paper and send it to me.  
My address is: 

Hans Zoebelein 
c/o blinux cd-rom
Schellingstr. 63 
80799 Muenchen 
Germany

Don't forget to include your email and snail mail address.  
I'll email you as soon as money has arrived and the CD-ROM is
shipped to your snail mail address.


How is Blinux CD-ROM shipped?  
Blinux CD-ROM is shipped to non Europe addresses by airmail, 
to Europe addresses as normal mail. The CD-ROM is
put into a padded cardboard envelope without using a jewel box. 
This is done to stay below the 50gr weight limit and to pay
less postage costs.

Enjoy!
Hans

Postal money orders should probably be included.
Cash is scanned for in the mail and if found by postal officials in
the U.S. is removed.  This is Postal policy.  Anything that
gets past the scan may later have its contents stolen.
I can send a money order for the cdrom which can only be redeemed
in U.S. dollars too.

Concerning the blinux archive, does any screen magnification software come
on that cdrom?

Hi dinesh,

Start by reading the Serial HOWTO.
It contains sections on setting up dial-in and dial-out
using the various getty programs.

Re: remote access

[Bryan Smart]

Several ways exist.

You can configure your computer to be a PPP server.  See the PPP-howto for
a long explanation of how that works.  If your other computer has network
applications on it, you'd be able to telnet, ftp, etc to you home computer
to manage things.

If you need something more simple than that, you can configure your
computer to answer the phone and present a "login:" prompt.  Basically what
you're doing here is setting up a serial terminal connection (just as to a
DOS box), but the modem is the serial device.  The getty man page should
have some information on how to do this.  I believe that entries for dialup
terminals already exist in /etc/inittab.  If this is so, you could just
uncomment the line and go.  You might also want to check the man page for
inittab (there is one, isn't there???).

Finally, you may need to consider security for your home system.  As you
aren't connected to the net (and won't have hackers pounding on your box
all of the time), you probably won't need extensive security, but you may
wish to disable root logins from the modem port.  This would let root only
login from the console of your computer.  I haven't looked at this in a
long time, but I think there is a file called /etc/securetty that allows
you to make these restrictions.  I'm not sure, but this particular way of
securing ttys might only work on Redhat.

You're sure to get other replies from people who've already done this sort
of thing, but I hope these pointers are a help in locating the information
you need in order to solve your problem.

If you have a ntework setup between the dos and linux machine, you can use
pcnfs to read any exported file systems from the linux box.  I've
personally not tried it here (yet) but I plan to soon, and I've heard that
it works from others that have tried it.

Re: access to linux filesystem

[Luke Davis]

Yes: there is one that will give you read only access to linux file
systems.
Check under the utils/apps/similar section(s) on sunsite.

[dinesh kaushal]

Is there any program which can access linux file-system from dos file system?

Re: access to linux filesystem

[Marc Groeneveld]

Hi,

I believe there is something that is called dextfs to do what you want.

Marc.
