I have been using a shareware package called NCSA telnet (V2.3) to run
telnet sessions from my PC. It works very very well except in one 
instance.
	
I have found that if I connect to any UNIX machine and leave my
session idle for a while,then come back I can resume as you would expect.
However, if I do the same to a SUN, I find that the
session goes to sleep. If you keep the session active all seems to be
ok, but left for 10-15 minutes and it's good night session.
		    
The strange thing is that if open a telnet session to the same SUN box
again, almost immediately the first session wakes up and responds to
everything to typed to it while the session was asleep. BTW, if I have two
session open one to the SUn and one to another UNIX machine, if the SUN
session goes to sleep the other one is quite OK.
	    
If I do the same from any other UNIX machine to the SUN the session stays alive
all the time, but then again there is a lot of other IP stuff on those machines
aprt from telnet.
    
Looking through the source code to NCSA telnet,there is a curious

Looking through the source code to NCSA telnet,there is a curious
comments in the bit of code that handles ACKs. It basically says that we
may get more ACK's than packets sent because of:

"4.2's habit of sending those damn keepalive packets out everywhere."
		     
I assume it is referring to BSD 4.2. I know that NCSA telnet never
sends out 'keepalive packets' and as far as I know, a keepalive is not
required to keep a session open.

Just to test this out, I fired off a script that pinged the PC every minute
and sure enough, the session never went to sleep.
	    
My question then is, does anyone know if SUN-OS requires a keepalive
packet to be sent out every so often ?

Howdy,
  I've got a SPARCstation IPC with a Sun CD-ROM drive and was
wondering if there's a program available that let's me play audio CD in
the CD-ROM drive. That is, something that will let me turn the CD-ROM
drive into a CD player of some form. I'm running OW2, if that matters.
Thanks.

Hello, netlanders!

There's been some talk about changing our CAD-system from a Sun based
system to IBM RS6000 and Catia. However, I am not so sure our
bigbosses are doing something very sensible.

Would you, fellow netlanders, tell me why I should or should not want
to do this change. What are the pros and cons of RS6000 when compared
to Sun?

(We are now using Sun IPC (and Sun SS1, SS1+ and Sun 386i), but the
IBM's would have to be much faster machines as Catia is (I think) much
heavier program than the one we are using now. We have three Sun
4/370s as fileservers and about 70 workstations.)

Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 1992 17:19:52 GMT

From the README.fd file:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an implementation of the /dev/fd driver. This driver provides
access to a process's file descriptors via the file system name space.
For example, when a process opens /dev/fd/9 the operation performed is
the equivalent of dup(9).
Standard input/output/error (i.e. descriptors 0,1,2) are also visible 
as /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr}.

This is a loadable driver. Check the README file in the tar archive
for instructions on how to set up your system so that the driver is 
loaded automatically at system boot time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The driver is available via anonymous ftp from mystique.cs.colorado.edu in
the pub/kernel directory. It is in compressed archive form: fd.1.0.tar.Z

Reply-To: leo@ipmce.su
Organization: unknown
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1992 20:41:13 +0400

	The results of the discussion can be summarized as follows:

	1) There is the only (almost?) portable way to test the
	value of address constants - to use additional variable:

	extern _DYNAMIC[];

	/* global - to avoid optimizations, though gcc I use doesn't
	 * optimize "if" when pDYNAMIC is local
	 */

	int * pDYNAMIC = _DYNAMIC;
	...
	{
		if (pDYNAMIC) ....
		else    ....
	}

	I must note the error in some answers. Their authors
	propose to test *_DYNAMIC. Obviously, this may cause NULL
	pointer access and therefore coredump.

	2) The source of strange behavior of the C compiler is
	its origin. GCC tries to optimize the "if" always,
	MS-DOS' Microsoft and Borland C don't make any presumptions about
	the value of address constants, and only PCC-derived
	compilers (3 of them have been tested, including SunOS')
	behave strangely.

	Thanks,

 I have a QMS-PS 2220 printer that I would like to  attach to a
 SparcStation.  It is a dual tray system, A3 and A4, and can 
 run at speeds from 1200-19200 baud.

 However the printer comes supplied with PC and Mac drivers
 only. Connecting the printer to a Sun is easy, using the rs232
 and a printcap like so;

 QMS:qms2220:\

 but I cannot select between the paper trays. Anyone got a 
 solution to this ? 
 
 On a similar subject, I connected an Apple Laserwriter to a Sparc
 recently. It works but is very slow. Is the reason the "psif" filter I'm
 using? or the 9600 baud rate been too slow for postscript? If the latter
 be true, then there nothing to be done, as although the laserwriter manual
 says the rs232 can be set faster than 9600 in software, theres no means from
 unix to do so!  Heres the Apple printcap......

Organization: State University of New York at Buffalo / CEDAR Research Group

I'm hoping for some help in diagnosing the following problem, which
occurs on a Sun 4/630 running SunOS 4.1.2.

Often, running jobs will hang in a non-interruptible wait; i.e., the
first character in the 'STAT' column of ps will contain 'D'.
According to the man page for ps, this means that the process is
"typically in a short-term wait for disk or NFS I/O".  However, at the
time the job enters this state, it's not doing a disk read, and the
wait is anything but "short-term" -- these processes subsist until the
machine is rebooted.

The only distinguishing feature of these processes is that they are
larger than average, being 100-150+ MB in size.

Any advice on how to track down the cause will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Why does it get a "no more processes" error?  Or why does it try to fork
"/usr/etc/mount_hsfs"?  The answer to the latter is "because they didn't
want to put support for every single file system in creation into
'mount'"; the reason why it tries to run "mount_<fstype>" is to allow
new file system types to be added to the system without having to hack
up the "mount" command.

I don't know of one which will do that, but I do know of Sun Tar, which allows

Has anybody ever installed a trap handler to catch
stack overflow on a sparc?
I have the problem that some functions sometimes don't work 
any more after a stack overflow occured.
"sometimes: depends on the size of the involved Stack Frames,
"some functions" are e.g. system, dlopen, dlsym.
The interrupted process however, works perfectly after
using a longjmp to recover from the trap.
Any comments are welcome.
