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....
