hmm...while we are on the subject:

I've been using an HP EISA machine with two Adaptek 1740 SCSI cards, each
with it's own Segate Elite 1.3G drive.  Using Chantal paragon and
cornerstone software under SCO ODT1.1.1g, I've gotten 3M/second reads,
which I need for loading digital video segments (measured using iozone), by
striping the two drives.  

Question:

When I installed these drivers and formatted the disks, I was asked for a
"striping width".  By experimenting, I determined that 74 gave me the
fastest read rate.  I would like to try to explain this in my thesis, but I
really haven't a clue as to what this "striping width" is, and what drive
parameters affect its optimal value.

Anyone care to offer an explaination, or point me to some literature on the
subject?

thanx

dominic

It's a little late, but: Happy New Year !!

Question(s) :

Is there a driver for SCO ODT 2.0 that supports 3Com's 3C509-card ?

I've heard that the 509-card is about 30% faster than the 503-card.
Is this correct ?

The 509-card is appr. 300 NOK (30  / 45 $ ...) cheaper than the 503-card.
A stupid question: WHY? - Is there any disadvantages?

Isn't it about time SCO or somebody comes up with a driver that supports
this card ? - it has been on the market for some months now .....

I've been looking through biz.sco.announce, and found a ftp-site called
src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.3.7).
There was a file called efs125.Z updated 14. oct. 1992.
efs125.Z is a SCO LLI Driver disk Release 3.1.0 for SCO ODT 2.0.
There was no 3C509 card on the list !!!

I currently have ODT 1.1 with the SCO ODT MMDF SLS installed.  My
problem is when I do a telnet to the smtp well-known port "25" on 
my own machine.

# telnet "hostname" 25  (where the hostname is my own machine)

I receive the following message:

telnet:  Unable to connect to remote host:  Connection refused

I am able to telnet "hostname" to myself and even telnet hostname 13 to
get time services.  I can telnet to other hosts on the Lan with the 25
smtp well-known port number but they cannot get to me with the smtp 25 port.

What has gone wrong?  How can this be fixed.  I cannot receive mail if
this is not resolved.  Please Help!!!

Yes, you are correct, yppasswd uses /etc/ptmp as a lock file, so 
in your case it appears that it got left around somehow from a previous
invocation of yppasswd. Just go ahead and remove this file and all should
be well again.

I'm ashamed to say that many years ago, when I was younger, and more
trusting, I got suckered. When I first graduated  college,
and was working a part-time retail sales job, and one of my regular
customers starting talking to me about coming to a meeting with his
'partners' to see if they had an opportunity for me.  It wasn't too far out
of line, I thought.  My degree was in marketing, and he was talking about a
sales job.  Well, he came and picked me up.  When we got to our
destination, it was an Amway 'bring a sucker' rah-rah meeting.  I couldn't
leave, as he'd picked me up.  So I had to stay for the pitch.  Their guest
speaker was talking to the flock, and said 'Don't be a SAP', and wrote 
  S
  A
  P
on the board in big capital letters.  Then he said, as he finished each
letter into a word 'Don't say anything about Selling -- Amway -- Products'.
Now, no one from that organization can tell me that I misunderstood.  
I saw and heard it for myself.  So they can take their acrimonious ravings 
and go pound salt.  Any business that can't be up front about what they're 
about, and has to trick people into getting involved should be run out of 
town on a rail!  After I got home from there, I had as little as possible 
to do with that 'customer' ever again.  I was fortunate enough to get a 
transfer to another store about a month later, so it didn't adversly impact 
my job.  The bottom line is, I learned to be ever the skeptic after that, 
and learned for myself that 'Anything that sounds to good to be true is a 
con'.  In the years since, I've been approached by co-workers, striving for 
their first million with A.L. Williams, but I headed them off, and told them 
to go suck rocks.  All these scams..er..schemes SHOULD find their own 
newsgroup, and leave the LEGITIMATE businesses to this group.  That way, if 
some individual WANTS to deal with them (poor misguided sole), he knows that 
all of the organizations who work that kind of arrangement can be found there.
