the 1.2 GB disk.  A reformat will take less than 1 hour (SCSI-drive with

- installing a vines partition taken 2 to 3 hours, e.g.an HP 1.2 GB with
an Adaptec 542B controller in a 386/20 server : 154 mins)
- restore operation : several hours ?

Yes, you can read mail on a Unix-based mail server this way.  Wouldn't it be
nice if the so-called "Intelligent Messaging Support" for VINES would
let you read your mail the same way?  Of course, MIME support would be
nice too! :-)

I suppose this entire thread is probably a result of my basic dissatisfaction
with SMTP and VINES.  The need for a well-integrated mail service is apparent;
the problem lies with the non-standards-based approach taken by Banyan; this
is not really their fault, since the standards are just beginning to emerge.

Someone at Banyan needs to take a hard look at the newest Internet RFC's and
Drafts - particularly dealing with MIME and IMAP/POP3/etc.  The opportunity
exists for some really useful multi-media messaging services which would be
interoperable with the rest of the Internet.  

This may be most readily implemented within the VINES/SCO Unix platform.  While
one could argue the viability/desireability of using SCO Unix ( :-( ), we seem
to be stuck with it for the moment.  It appears that the IMAP/POP stuff will
play in the SCO environment without major plastic surgery - haven't tried
MIME and PINE 3.04 yet.  We have ordered a SCO/VINES test platform and I look
forward to some tinkering in this area.

With respect to NTP, last I heard our VINES network is chiming peacefully
with our Stratum 1 Network Time Protocol Server (timelord).

Best wishes.

Chris why copy a large file???  Simple make a new subdirectory.  Write down
the free disk space before and after you make the directory.  Subtract and you
have the cluster size.  On my 660Mb HD my cluster size is 8192 bytes or 8Kb.
It might be like DOS 5 above a certain limit the cluster size automatically
increases.  BTW, as far UNIX is concerned a "cluster" may not have any
meaning.  I think UNIX uses the term " allocation units/blocks".  Just my two

Brian,

Thank you for your extensive answer. I have downloaded Trumpet 1.05G from
sifon.cc.mcgill.ca (file trmp105g.zip in the /pub/news/readers directory) and
fetched teh file drivers.zip from wuarchive.wustl.edu and thought I just had
to pick the right driver to get started.
However, I'm using etherban.exe on my PC here (3Com Etherlink) and there
doesn't seem to be a packet driver for that. Am I missing something?

In your answer you also mentioned a 'shim' version which will work with the
PC/TCP software. Does this mean that this thing would not need a packet
driver but merely the PC/TCP resident module (IBANYAN in my case). If so,
where can I find it?

Again, thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

P.S. I sent this message to the list as there may be others Out There who
     might face the same problem.

Subject:      re: StreetTalk woes

Try separating the 2 servers ie breaking the x.25 connection, shutdown to the
console level, set the time on the server forward 96 hours, shutdown
completely and reboot the server.  This should remove the extra knowledge
about the other servers across the x.25 link.  Now delete the duplicate groups
on both servers.  Shutdown to the console level on the server and set the time
back 96 hours and reboot the server.  Rebuild one group after you link the 2
servers again via the x.25 link.

I had a similar situation where there were two different cases for the same
organization.  The above actions allowed me to remove the incorrectly entered
organization.

The Hayes Non-Ultra modems use a prop. Hayes protocol that the other modems
don't have.  Get a normal (non Hayes or Hayes ultra or better) 9.6 to fix your

This phenomenon manifests itself in 4.11(1) and 4.11(5) also.  It sometimes
happens after forcing user's to change their password in these revisions.  The
system forces user's to change their password and the next or second time they
login after that, their password is not accepted.

We thought maybe the user's were forgetting their new passwords but we have
seen evidence to the contrary.

Here is some info from the FAQ.  Sorry, but I don't have any FAX
numbers or addresses, just voice numbers.

10. Where can I find equipment to make my own CD-ROMs?

  If you want to do single copy `one-offs', or low volume CD production,
  there are recorders announced by JVC, Philips and Sony.

  JVC Personal ROM-Maker       $12500 (complete system, including software)
  Philips CDD 521               $5500 (+ $1900 for software)
  Sony CDW-900E                $10000 (???)

  You can buy the Philips drive with CDGEN software for ISO-9660
  discs from DataDisc (1-800-328--2347) for $7895.  They recommend
  that you use it with the Adaptec 1542 SCSI Card.

  Here are some phone numbers you can call for more info:

  JVC Product Information:            +1 714 965-2610
  Philips Consumer Electronics:       +1 615 475-8869
  Sony Computer Peripheral Products:  +1 800 352-7669

  The blank discs for these drives cost about $40 each.  They are not
  the same as a normal CD.  The metal data surface is gold instead of
  aluminum.

I have a Philips CDD-521, and I am very pleased with it.  It was very
easy to set up.  I finished cutting the first CD-ROM less than two hours
after I took the drive out of the box.
