I'm using a high-speed modem as well, without any problems, only difference may be, that I use some dial-sequences.
Following is an extract of my remote:

This generates a (almost) smooth connection:

The stupid tip has something against 2 character wide reslut codes (ah yes, U need to turn off all kind of addtional reslut

Bonjour all,

I need to create a  directory (/Apps) that will contain some apps. I  
already have a directory named /LocalApps (exported from a server on our  
net). 
Now the problem that I'm facing is how can I modify the default search  
path in order for the Workspace Manager to locate the apps in /Apps when I  
double-click on one of their documents?

Thanks in advance.

If such a list exists, I would really appreciate seeing it.

GNU-Tar is included in NeXTSTEP 3.0. It's in /usr/bin/gnutar.
Call 'gnutar +help' for more info. It's apparently Version 1.10.

From NextAnswers:

Q:  How can a NeXTstep application run windows on the Window Server of a remote  
host?

A:  Someone must be logged on to the console of the host you would like the  
windows to appear on (the "target" host).  The user that is logged on must have  
Public Window Server access on.   This gives permission for a remote host to  
establish a connection to its Window Server.  Public Window Server access is  
set through the Preferences application.  From a remote host, you can then  
launch an application and specify that the windows should appear on the target  
machine like this:

% Webster -NXHost TargetHost

In this case, Webster will launch on the remote host and the windows will show  
up on TargetHost.  "TargetHost" must be the hostname; you cannot substitute an  
internet address.  The -host option is equivalent to -NXHost.

You cannot use NXHost from a 1.0 machine to a 2.0, or vice versa.

QA35

Bear in mind that giving public window server access is a security problem.

Hope this helps.
	Michael.

Results of trial and error, after hearing/reading about the
"swaptimizer:"
If your /etc/swaptab has the ,compressed entry (after lowat and
hiwat), after rebooting you will have compressed or "swaptimized"
swapping and df will show wo swapfiles: /private/vm/swapfile and
swapfile.front (the latter being "mounted").  This seems to be the
default for NeXTStations with less than 12 MB RAM and Color Stations 
with less than 16 (I have 20, therefore trial and error was required).
df does some "creative accounting," since if you add up the occupied
space, minfree (10%) and the two swapfiles you end up with more than
your disk can hold.  Obviously the two swapfiles are not independent
and their inflation is correlated.
 
However if you have the entry ,uncompressed (or nothing, but > 12/16
MB) in your /etc/swaptab, swapping is as in 2.1. 

I was unable to determine which of the two is better -- only that 
subjectively it seems that with swaptimizer the originally smaller
files will swell up faster (e.g., if one starts up mathematica or runs
a compilation). 

If anyone has run any comparative timings, or can shed more light on
the subject (the man-page and release note does not even 
mention the second swapfile, and the index of DL does not find
anything appropriate).

Organization: University of Notre Dame
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1992 17:21:52 GMT

Being a newcomer to the NeXT sysadmin game, I'm not sure if I have a  
handle on the way the swapfile works, especially under NS 3.0.  Here's my  
situation:

I noticed that swapfile.front doesn't ever shrink.  For instance, it grew  
large (~8MB) after I did some extensive playing around with BackSpace.  I  
expected it to shrink after I quit BackSpace, but it didn't.  Now I don't  
remember whether swapfile changed size at all (I have it set lowat=16MB).

Swapfile.front returned to its small (~2MB) size upon powerdown/powerup,  
but didn't shrink after a hot boot (Alt-Cmd-*).

Can somebody shed some light on what's going on?

Thanks,

James

Do you have the appropriate permissions to mount?  Try to mount it manually  
using the mount command.  Also, autonfsmount doesn't understand maps in the  
form of "machine1,machine2,machine3:/filesystem" as the Sun automounter does.   
This caused me some grief until I discovered it, and ended up writing a short  
sed script to remove the extra machines (which were there only because Sun  
doesn't do multihomed hosts properly).

What exactly is the _writers property for under the printer/fax entry in

I was wondering if I could use this property to only allow specific users to  
print to this printer.  Or is this just to allow modifications to the  
printers/fax modems themselves.  If this is the case, does anyone know of a  
way to only allow specific users to use a printer?  Is there anyway to limit  
who can _send_ faxes since using the printmanager it is easy to limit who can  
receive them but it seems (by looking at the logs) that anyone can send? 

I cannot simply limit which machines see the printer because this printer will  
be located in a lab setting and thus, it is currently accessable to anyone...

Perhaps I wasn't sufficiently clear.  Let me try again.  I wasn't trying  
to say that NXHost over SLIP was made slow intentionally.  I was trying to  
say that it might be deliberately hard to make it work at all.  So far as  
I know, to NXHost over SLIP, you have to have the same IP address for both  
the ethernet and the slip interfaces, and to make that work, you have to  
rather carefully adjust the routing tables, in the case of a standalone  
machine.  Making it hard to set up NXHost over SLIP (not the speed) could  
have been a design decision at NeXT, Inc.  If they purposefully made it  
hard to set up, then people would tend not to do it, and hence not  
complain about how poorly it worked.  It's rather like disabling access to  
the Help files in Icon.app in 2.X: the files are there, you can read them  
if you like, but since you can't get to them just by clicking on 'Help' in  
a menu, you know that they are likely to be an inaccurate description of  
the program, i.e., you shouldn't be doing this.  It's also like making it  
hard to power off without syncing the disk: sure you can pull the plug,  
but you know that's not the preferred way, since there's a power button  
right on the keyboard.

I would assume it makes the little status window, the one with the spinning

I tried to use the Preferences app to no avail (as did everyone else
who experienced the problem).  It would just crash when I tried to
enable the MegaPixel display.  I assume it was not set up to handle
the rather large values that were set in the bounds property.

The autoNetWareMounter does the same thing (burns cpu).  Apparently
there some sort of kernel bottleneck or a mutex is being locked
somewhere.  NeXT definitely knows about it though (whether they think
it's a problem or whatever is different).
