It has been pointed out to me that this is not very useful if
one isn't using uucp for mail transportation.  A more general
solution is to set the MMSGLOG level to FST.  MMDF will then
generate log information with the same sort of information as
sendmail's syslog.  You do have to "rotate: the log on a
regular basis to ensure that the disk doesn't fill up, but then
you would see the information

10/ 1 11:08:30 submit6022:  Unknown user 'fred'
10/ 1 11:08:30 submit6022:  xin (USER) Unknown user name in "fred"
10/ 1 11:08:30 submit6022:  [SYSERR(2)No such file or directory]  err [ ABEND (NDEL) ]   No valid addresses
10/ 1 11:08:30 submit6023:  lin msg.aa26023 (1, 989) local mmdf
10/ 1 11:08:49 delive6025:  end msg.aa26023 (MOK) uucp xenitec.on.ca uunet.ca!mail.uunet.ca!somewhere.edu!bob@xenitec.on.ca [0: 0:19]

What you want to look for is a message from "mmdf" shortly
after invalid message.

Hmmm, I am now working on sendmail/IDA port to SCO 3.2v2.0. My solution
is a bit different. As opposed to your solution, I decided to add the
the ^A^A^A^A functionality to sendmail. This addition is really required
if one is using sendmail to deliver directly to files.

I dit this because of I have found the SCO mail program being confused
by the old (non-mmdf) style mailboxes. Now I am running sendmail/IDA
as the Mail Transport Agent and SCO mail, MUSH and ELM as Mail User Agents,
all using mmdf style mailboxes.

OK, I give up.  

I now realize the error of my ways.  Xon/Xoff is bad, bad, bad, screws
up everything and is a total abomination.

From this point on I will never, ever use anything but complete hardware
flow control without the noxious IXANY.

That I had never experienced these dire problems in ten years of working
with thousands of terminals and hundreds of applications can only be 
faulty memory on my part.  Obviously I either must have *not* wired
for Xon/Xoff or the problems must be happening daily and I am just not
paying attention.

Well, no more.  It's Cts/Rts for me from now on.  I've seen the light,
and it says DTR plain as day!

Hello,

I have an ODT 1.0 - System with an Adaptec 1542b-Controller and I'm
planning to add a new, big Harddisk to the system, 1 Gigabyte or even
bigger - now I've heard rumors that older versions of SCO Unix do not
support SCSI-Harddisk bigger than 1 Gigabyte...

So: what is the maximum size of a SCSI Harddisk attached to an AHA1542b
that is supported by SCO ODT 1.0 (or SCO Unix 3.2.1)?

You customize ELM for mmdf with an answer to a question in the Configure
routine. That's been the case for quite a while. All it involves is
recognizing the ^A^A^A^A separators that mmdf wants in the spool files.

This is THE way it should be set.   Incoming modem should
always be set to match what the calling modem requests by
setting S111=255, or conversely setting S111=0 if you want no
protocol.    Any other setting should be used only in an
application where you KNOW what modems will be calling you.

Leaving S111=255 on the calling modem, and having the receive 
modem at S111=255 will give NO protocol.  There is no 'automatic'
protocol detection.

Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1992 16:43:08 GMT

Greetings, I'm about to try something I suspect will not work, so I figured
I would see if some one could save me the trouble.

Here's the situation:  Our Divisional VP just said no software upgrades,
(it's bad for the profit margin.)  So we are still running ODT 1.1 (F or G).
And we are still running a straight Unix Development system circa 3.2.0
1989 vintage. (Pre ODT)

I suspect that in order to get Athena X up I'll need to referance includes
and possably libraries for TCP; which I suspect I don't have since we didn't
get the TCP/IP dev sys.

Can some one out there in the ether tell me definetively if this will work?

As another alturnative, does anyone have binaries and/or libraries available
for anon-ftp?  Another question, deeper into the mire, if I get the
complete finished package from someone, will I be able to compile X apps
or will I still be hamstrung without the TCP stuff?

Thanks for the thoughts.

with a showing of hands, please, anyone using cdrom with sco
3.2.2 or 3.2.4?  multimedia or data? iso9660 fmat, proprieitary?

anyone willing to send me a short msg saying what you do with rom?

i'm not selling anything, i do development. i've run into
some problems(no lun>0 support, not enough surfaces mountable, etc)
with the stock sco Srom driver. that i must work around. as this means 
driver work, i wanted to get what feed back the net would supply 
regarding its current use (or abuse;).

anyone interested in photo cd?

if you reply to the blznrzn path, be sure to use the bang path.
some mailers along the way dont seem to understand i down load from sco.

thanks in advance, jack...

Can anyone shed light on accessing com3 from within SCO Unix 3.2 v2.0,  I have
a everex magic i/o card that has com1-3,  unix sees com1,2 but not 3.  I would
like to use com3 to access a second modem, or a serial mouse.  I currently use
com1 for a 9600 baud modem, com2 for a digitizer tablet, and I would like to use
com3 for a serial mouse instead of using a busmouse on interupt 25 which is a 
reassigned int 5 vector (or something like that).

If this is possible I would like to use the com3 channel for a serial mouse, or
swap com2 digitizer with com3,  the digitizer application will see com3 or com4.
That way I could use the com2 for the mouse.  If anyone has info on how to 
access com3 from the kernel I would appreciate any and all information regarding
the process.

this way I can open up a slot by removing the busmouse, and  then I would have
a slot to put the multiport board in.  This would allow me to add the wyse
terminal and laser printer, etc to the system.

Thanks for any and all help,  I sincerely hope to hear from the network folk
soon,  any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks again,  you can e-mail me direct or post answers to the net in this 
regard.

Which the Everex Cubes or the Ethernet cards?

We just got one in (single processor Step) and it doesn't seem to be as fast

Make absolutely sure that the optimizer is turned off.  $CO and
nn don't work well together.  Have you tried compiling nn under
$CO with the regular (rcc) compiler which is shipped with $CO?

I remember when I was running $CO.  Few things compiled as 
shipped -- or if it did, it didn't properly work.  Now that
I am running SVR4, just about everything I've tried compiles clean
and runs without any "gotchas".

I just wanted to thank everyone who emailed replies to my posting
looking for help with getting NIS running on my SCO ODT2.0 system.

Most of the replies indicated that it was SCO wierdness that created
the problem... 

Unfortunately in my environment I have neither the diskspace nor the 
ability to set the system as a copy only NIS Slave... (the local I.T.
department understandably is a touch uncomfortable with the thought
of my lab machine getting a copy of the maps for all of BNR...) (a
slight hint... they ain't small) 

I have to be a client, and C2 security and all that other garbage
that gets in the way of my being a client is now just a royal pain in
the butt... 

So, even just launching ypbind and ignoring the rest isn't going to
work...

Now how SCO thought that this situation would be acceptable is beyond
me because surely I'm not the only person who is going to buy SCO ODT
to put into a large well networked site filled with machines, with a
couple of dedicated nameservers.... 

If anyone can suggest work arounds... ( The thought of replacing 
ping, telnet, ftp, and rlogin seems a tad excessive...)

Greetings,

	We're running C-news and trn.  mthreads is taking up
a lot of the cpu time when it runs, and the disk makes a lot
of noise.  25 MHz, 8 MB memory.  One question is:  Are we
thrashing the disk?  Would more memory help things?
	(Oh, sorry.  I should add that mthreads used to be
fairly quick, but the load of newsgroups that we take has
gone up.  It SEEMS as though mthreads is taking more than
a linear increase in time as the newsgroup load increases.)

	How do we check to see how much memory we're using?
How can I monitor system performance well enough to decide
what to buy to fix not just this, but any performance problem?  I went
through the manual, but I was in a hurry, so I confess I
might have missed something obvious.
