modem connection for COMPUTAX.




i've just talked to amir plivatzky (my actcom boss). we'll get a PPP 
account for the duration of the COMPUTAX exhibition. anyone want to think 
of a proper name for the account (i suggest i-linux , bbut anything could 
go). not that it really matters, but i thought maybe people will want to 
select.

he also reminded me of a few tips about how to configure the modem for 
best throughput, and i'll come on monday evening to help with the network 
installation. now, i forgot to ask him about an IP routing, but i will ask.

the people who bring modems with them - please also bring your modem's 
reference book. it will be requiered in order to configure the modem 
properly, so we could get the best out of it.

i also intend to install networking software (well, i have mosaic 
configured with hebrew fonts, but i can also download netscape and try to 
configure it to use hebrew too - no promises!).

i'll also install and demonstrate an X-window based client for the 
internet Go server (and of the chess server too, if i could remember its 
address), as well as a tcl/tk based irc client (zircon). so this could 
serve as an interesting networking demonstration.

we should still use a cache server for web accesses that will be 
installed on one of the linux machines.

more - later....
