Couple of Questions, Q2

Missed the second question all together. :)

Ok, all you need on the linux side is PPP which you already have.  If =
you aren't making your connection to your provider through PPP or SLIP, =
then you need to ask them whether they have a package called 'tia' or =
'the internet adaptor' installed.  I can't help you much with how to set =
this up, but it's not too difficult.    There's another method which =
actually comes with the linux system, but I forget its name.  something =
like (but not) slipterm or netterm,  but you will also need your =
provider to have this package as well.  As long as you can compile on =
your providers machine you could install them yourself, (though tia =
comes precompiled-only, browse the web for it.)  This second package =
really doesn't allow people to access your machine from outside though.

If you don't have a dedicated IP address though, every time you connect =
you will have to send E-mail to the people who want to call your site =
and tell them what the current address is.

The moo will start up correctly under linux as long as you have the =
networking package installed (all part of the linux distribution.)

Subject:  Couple of Questions
Okay, Second one:

This may be more of a Linux question, but in relation to MOOs (I think). =
 I
am attempting to install the Slackware version of Linux on my pentium
100mhz, 16RAM machine.  I want to eventually get a MOO up and running on =
it.
I belive I can accomplish these goals, but...I want to allow others to
access it as well.  I only have a PPP account that I would only be able =
to
use on nights and weekends.  I have heard of programs that will 'listen' =
on
other ports and direct connections to the current ip address that is set =
up
everytime I connect with my ppp account.  Is this all I need? or is =
there
more? Will the MOO start up correctly not being in single user mode if =
this
is all I have? and where can I get what I need?

last question, I promise 8)

Okay, this is more of a request than a question, but if anyone knows of =
a
site for a small role playing MOO that lost it's site a few months ago,
please let me know.  My db file is about 3megs so up and running and =
with
the server would take up 11megs of space.  Very few people log on =
(probably
3-4 at one time is unusual), it is more in the building stages than =
anything
else right now.  Contact me for more details about the theme and =
policies.

Thanks a lot
