I have sent a private note of thanks to the official Dell response. I would 
hope that other readers here would encourage Dell NOT to discourage Donn or 
others from public commentary. The Dell letter was already anticipated by many 
here and it would be a shame if personal honesty and an outspoken word would
simply turn into deadly silence. It would negate the purpose of the net.

I'm running SVR4 on an ATT StarServer E, a 486 machine, and have trouble
starting up NIS.  I was able to do a 
	
	ypinit -m <master_server>

but the machine dumped core when I tried a 

	ypserv

Anyone have any ideas about what's wrong?  AT&T doesn't seem to provide any
information about NIS in their documentation.

Don't get smart with me, Chip ;-)

OK, so I didn't know that ISC 2.2 doesn't have a ut_host field.  It
sounds like I now have to write a slew of utmpx file functions and
include them with Shadow.  Obviously I would also have to write a
fresh new who(1) command ...

Sorry, unless Dell says that he is speaking for Dell then he is speaking
for himself.  If someone had said something like "I think our policy on
<something> sucks!" would you assume that he was speaking for the company?

Let's not make the suits any more nervous than they already are about

If your Solaris 2.0 application uses threads or makes use of NeWS, you might
be out of luck if you move the binaries to SVR4.2. This observation is from reading the magazines :-)

I agree with Neil's opinion.
Here is another *big* fact against Novell-Nets and for Unix file
servers via ethernet:

What do you do, if you want to program a statistic over all your one
million articles ? You cannot transfer one million records over the
net, to compute some statistics on your DOS-PC or Unix-workstation.
And you cannot write programs on a Novell-Server.

If you have a Unix fileserver, you can run your statistic program
directly on the fileserver, only the output from your statistic has to
go through the net.

Forget DOS/Novell environments if you want to make professional
applications.

My requirements are these:

486-33 ISA (16Mb or more)
Tseng ET4000-based localbus VGA (NOT S3 driven)
Compatible with ESIX 4.0.3a
VGA must work with X386

Has anyone out there done this and if so could they please

I have SCO 3.2.2 with TCP/IP 1.1.1 as well as the associated

Any other suggestions or comments would be most welcome.

Now, I see a lot of 'we' there.  When I see a person posting from a company and
using the term 'we' to refer to the company, I think it's safe to assume he's
speaking _for_ the company.  If he said, "Dell has no obligation" rather than
'we', then it can be viewed differently.

You need to do much the same as was mentioned for SCO.  Setup a user 'ftp'
with the home address set to where you want your ftp access to be.

ftp:x:255:100:Ftp user:/src/ftp:/bin/ksh


In that directory you need to setup the following directories:

Hello,

I got a warning message on either of two machines after doing the following:

1) the /etc/rc2.d/S85tcp script always called a /etc/default/tcp script
   wherein env. variables like DOMAIN and NETMASK are set.
   All worked fine.
2) I edited the S85tcp and replaced the 'ifconfig xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ...'
   by 'ifconfig $ADDRESS ....'
   With ADDRESS being set in /etc/default/tcp
   All worked fine so far.
3) I copied /etc/rc2.d/S85tcp to another host as well as the /etc/default/tcp
4) I edited the /etc/default/tcp and put the correct ADDRESS in.
5) Local addresses and all the other is correct, but:
   from time to time the machines say 'there is a duplicate serial numer
   on host (address of 2nd/1st machine), please reinstall tcp/ip on that
   machine'
Despite this warning, all works out correct.

Does anybody know WHY THE HELL the serial numbers figure out to be identical
with only the /etc/rc2.d/S85tcp files being copied???

1) The effect is certainly not limited to, or characteristic for 17" monitors
2) I thought the 9080i is a 16" monitor
3) The effect only shows up under certain conditions:
   i)   a very fine grain, regular dot pattern is displayed
   ii)  at high resolutions 
   iii) with respect to the dotpitch of the tube
   iv)  and the size of the tube
   provided that
   v)   the bandwidth of the monitor is high enough
   vi)  and the picture is displayed slightly rotated on the screen.

   In addition, in practice, it becomes worse if you operate your monitor
   at or beyond its specs. I remember that there is some kind of periodicity
   wrt. the dotclock. Note that even highly professional monitors have suffer
   from vi) enough to make the effect observable.

Solutions:
a) reduce granularity of the pattern displayed (a solid background comes to mind)
b) reduce resolution (not a popular one if you just payed to be able to use that)
c) tweak timing parameters (helped for me)

If this doesn't help for you,
d) get some el-cheapo monitor and be satisfied ever after :-}

Do NOT
e) open your monitor to try adjust anything. It won't help, and you'll
   probably screw up quite a lot.

I just want to mention that Sam's clubs in Florida now stocks ZEOS hardware -
which I find quite interesting --

What model of modem did the university go with?

You guys are missing the point of the statement.  They are saying
that running DOS ON TOP OF UNIX works better if UNIX is given more
RAM.  Try running MERGE/386 from Locus on any system (like SCO or
Microport) w/ less than a couple of meg. free & you'll harken
back to the good ol' days of 8086s!

'Nuff of this!
