Question about Debian configuration

[Ionut Borcoman <borco@mailbox.ro>]

Hi,

This is my second day with Debian.

Yesterday I have successfully installed Debian 1.3.1. I come from Win95
where everything is made by Win95. Now I have to do all by myself. 8-)

So, here are the problems:
1.
I have a 3-button mouse that works as MS mouse with 2 buttons or
3-button in PC mode. This is what is written on the mouse's box. I have
never seen in the configuration of gpm or xmouse the possibility to
choose a PC mouse with 3 buttons. Nevertheless, gpm recognize the 3rd
button if I set it like this:
    gpm -m /dev/ttyS0 -t ms

Question: How do I set the X mouse to see the third button (now I am
using the emulation, but I don't like that) ?

2.
I have an external modem, an US Robotics Sportster Flash at 56K. I also
have this e-mail account: borco@mailbox.ro.
    Under Win95 I have made an dial-up connection set with "Server
assigned IP address" and "Server assigned name server address".

Question: How do I set these under Debian ? I have understood that for
the IP I have to put 0.0.0.0 in the /etc/init.d/network. What value do I
have to put for the DNS (for this server assigned DNS) ?

3.
When I play my audio CDs, very often the CD is jumping (like with an old
LP). Under Win95 everything is fine. Also, if I use soft eject, the CD
eject and immediately close !

Question: Where can I find a good free audio CD player software ?

4.
Question: Where can I find a good free FAX software ?

5.
Question: Where can I find a good free ANSWERING MACHINE software ?

6.
I have some packages from the net that are tar.gziped.

Question: How do I integrate them in the dselect (to be able to upgrade
them, etc.)?
