This is interesting.  Is the Specialix unique in not using CLISTs,
or is this a property of most (all?) intelligent i/o cards?

Trying to install SCO UNIX 3.2 on a clone 386dx 40.  After booting the first 
installation disk, the installation procedure goes through a series of test 
(A through Z).  My system hangs at G8.  The installation procedure does not 
tell me what this means.  By trial and error I installed a serial i/o card, I 
get to the same spot where the error G8 occurs and then the system 
automatically re-sets and re-boots even though it shouldn't (I think) and 
that is not want I want.  HELP what is going on and what should I do??  Any 
help would be greatly appreciated.

50% Correct.  You don't need to do anything to the OS when you
add ram.  However, if you want to optimize the use of that
added ram, I suggest a dash of kernel tuning.  Xenix 2.3.x
arrives pre-configured for a minimum amount of RAM.  Some of
the important kernel paramaters are "determined at boot time".
I suggest "Tuning System Performance" in the System
Administrator's Guide.  This includes a table of recommended
values based upon different amounts of RAM.

If you want to see what your current paramaters are,
	cd /usr/sys/conf
	./configure -x
will belch 5 pages of kernel parameters.

This also works under SCO Unix as,
	cd /etc/conf/cf.d
	./configure -x

Just for a sanity check, I sure hope that the RAM you're
adding is 32 bit memory (on the mother board or on a 32
bit add-on card) and NOT 16 bit memory commonly found on
AT style ram cards that plug into the ISA bus.

Subject: TTY Files
Date: 15 Nov 92  14:21:14 EST

The server is a 386-25 with 16 serial ports. In the "/dev" directory, there are, among other files, about 10 files:

tty00
tty01
tty02
tty03
tty04
tty05
tty06
tty07
tty08
tty09
tty10
tty11
tty12
tty1A
tty1a
tty2A
tty2a

We have 14 of the ports in use, how do I activate the 15 or the 16th port. Would that be, "enable tty12" to enable port 11?

Do you really see the same symptoms? He was losing characters on
*output* too.

Apparantly the Adaptec driver blocks the interrupts for quite some
time, causing the console to freeze. However, I don't lose characters
on output.

If you or someone you know wants a solid introduction to Unix system
administration, plan to be at the Sun User Group Conference (San Jose
Convention Center) on Monday, December 7, 1992 for a full day
tutorials.  The Conference and Exhibition extends through Thursday.

Dinah McNutt (Tivoli Systems) will offer "Introduction to UNIX System
Administration" for Unix programmers and users who want to learn about
system administration.  The focus is on administering SunOS 4.1
systems, but many of the concepts apply to other types of Unix systems.

Experienced system administrators may prefer a different full-day
tutorial:
- Advanced Unix Security (Matt Bishop, Dartmouth College)
- Preparing for Disaster (a.m. - Brent Chapman, Great Circle Associates),
  plus, Why have Computer Security? (p.m. - Bob Baldwin, Tandem Computers)
- Sun Network Debugging (Smoot Carl-Mitchell, Texas Internet Consulting)
- Topics in Perl (Tom Christiansen, Convex Computer Corporation)	
- Programming in POSIX (Jeffrey S. Haemer, Canary Software)	
- UNIX Programming Tools (Kenneth Ingham, consultant)
- The Internet and its Protocols (William LeFebvre, Northwestern University)
- Integrating C Code and Xt Widgets (Craig Rudlin, MD, Medical Software and Computer Systems)

SPECIAL OFFER: 5 full conference registrations (each includes a day of
any tutorial) for the price of 4 when preregistering with a single
payment.  If you just want to go to the exhibits, ask for a free
show-only pass.

To get more information by email about these tutorials, the technical
program, or exhibits at the Sun User Group conference, send requests
to sugshow@sug.org .

You will receive the full tutorials and program description with
registration information.  Or call 1-800/727-EXPO.  (Outside the U.S.,

A couple of months spent trying to make a SCSI 3480 stream on a variety
of Suns indicates to me that memory bandwidth in the Sun is going to be 
your limiting factor. It didn't appear to be able to keep a 3480 streaming,
and the  drive manufacturer suggested that the Sun file system was the 
bottleneck. It isn't the drives, because they do stream on a VAX 6000 series
machine running VMS (via a BI bus to SCSI converter). I was using SparcStation1
and SparcStation2 class machines, the Sparc10s or the 670 or 690 servers may
be a different story (but I don't have either, nor the 3480 any more).

We are writing some Xlib, Xt/Motif and PEX programs. Our programs are so
simple, read the image data, XCreateImage, XPutImage and display. Well,
everybody knows X is dam slow. If you have huge image database, such 
a world map. It takes 3 to 5 minutes to read and display the XImage.
Doesn't matter you have 128 MB RAM and 140 MB swap disk space.
 
Before we can get a fiber-optic computer, a supper-conductor(right now
we only have semi-conductor) computer, a 1000 GHz CPU.
We are try to take some other approaches, such as "shared memory" and
"multi-threads". Write two or three separate programs and compiling
sepately. For example, program1 read image database only, program2
XCreateImage only and program3 XPutImage only.
 
But we have no ideas how to do that. Do we need a new operating system
other than Unix? Do we need POSIX operating system? Are the shared memory
and multi-threads parts of X protocol? We don't know much about the
shared memory and multi-threads. Can anyone out there tell me where I can
get any paper, documentation, book, O'Reilly "animal book", "color book"
and ftp site talk about the shared memory and multi-threads. Or give
me your ideas how to write a X program running "supper-fast".
 
 Thank you very much in advance!

Interesting...... that would jive with my observations as well, but it only
pertains to local items.

I need to log things which come from >other< machines!

My other current complaint which has gone unanswered is that the "preserve"
function in "vi" does not work.  It creates a file all right, but the file
is trash when you attempt to retrieve it.

Again, this is a DELL-specific bug.

You might want to look at Smail3 - it will drop into sysV machines as
a replacement for rmail/mail and sendmail.  It doesn't allow decisions
based on the sender address but it should handle about anything else.

I have an application that needs to print output rotated to landscape orientation,
and using a "wide mode" font - i.e. smaller print so that the rotated page
approximates the hight & width of a 66X132 line printer page.

On my old XENIX machine, this was accomplished with a couple switches passed to
lpr. How do I do this with SVR4? Are there functionally equivalent (but differently
named) switches to pr/lpr? Do I need to (ICK) echo the appropriate escape sequence
into the data stream? None of the above?

I'm currently running UHC SVR4 with an HP LaserJet compatable Panasonic printer.

Thanx in advance.
