Hi All,
Does any one know if it is possible to run acm on a linux box without
an ethernet card?
I believe that 0.98 sources are compiled with tcp/ip as default,
and when booting, I do get the message that the Internet sockets
are being initialized.
I read in the linux network faq that there is a loopback option
that enables your machine to talk to itself.
I think that's the very thing that can make the acm process
talk to the acms process which is running on the same machine, but how?
Do I need to give a special kind of inet addr in order to
have the loopback option take effect?
If ya are able to spread some light on this matter, please drop me a line,
Thanks in advance,
Bram Stolk
