Xnext mono works quite well.  The only problem with Xnext is that it
takes over your screen i.e. you can't flop back and forth between
apps.  A good basic X windows system.  R4 server, R5 clients.

Now co-Xist is easy to install and works quite well.  I purchased
the Motif developer's version.  co-Xist also let's you move between
apps (hence the name).  I have one problem with co-Xist though and
that is this one single app I have, using all Xlib calls, doesn't
get the keycodes right ("i" is turned into a "7" and all the special
characters "$" and "%" and "^" etc are turned into spaces).

I recommend both.  For the money, Pencom's product seems pretty
good especially if you need Motif.

Those cartridges are a lot cheaper if you buy someplace else.
Adobe also makes a cartridge.  For a while I could get it at my
university for less than $200, street price is about $375.

Just be aware you're playing with fire, and may have just been lucky so far. 
Also, if a powered-down SCSI device IS loading the bus excessively, as most
powered down SCSI devices will, you are overloading the bus drivers on all
other SCSI devices, including the NeXT, and while it may continue to work just
fine, you are treading on pre-mature failure of the driver chips.

I may not be a NeXT/Unix guru (yet :-) ), but I DO know what I'm talking about
here.

I agree.  I have an 040 with 32 meg, and a full usenet feed INCLUDING alt, and
I barely see the load.  And at 16 meg there was little difference, unless you
were also running something like a big compile at the same time, then it
dragged a bit, but nothing like what he reported.

BUT, the first time I installed it, in either NNTP or C-NEWS, I forgot which, I
said 'no' to batch mode in the config stuff, then it processed each message
individually, and was unable to keep up with the feed, given full time to
process it.  So, that would be my suggestion.

Believe it or not, some people actually want, or must have a WORM type  
device...  In these cases, a WMRM or hard-drive with some kind of funky  
management won't cut it.

I've been calling various vendors in the NeXT software and peripherals  
guide, attempting to find out if anyone has WORM drives that will work  
with the NeXT. A marketing guy at MicroTech told me that they wouldn't  
work with the NeXT. This sounds unreasonable, but seems to be the case  
since I can't find anyone that sells a device that works with a NeXT.

I would like to get in touch with anyone who is currently using a WORM  
drive that is directly connected to a NeXT. What brand and model? How  
does it perform? Where did you buy it? How much? Any problems to be  
aware of?

Thanks for any input.

This is not always true.  I have had scsi chains that would not work properly
unless ll the devices were turned on.  not just the last one.  

I never bothered to diagnose it further, and don't really know why either...
but i guess i'd say, if you don't have any visible problems when you leave
things turned off, then you probabl don't have anything to worry about.
Then again, i'm not an EE and could be all wet and your system might
blow up of you do this.  ;)

I am pretty sure that the only daemons that you need to start are the following  
(although I could be missing a few)  Also note that unless you plan on using  
NIS, I don't think that you need to start ypserv & ypbind (if you are using NIS,

Since 2 days ago, I have a 1/4" wide strip going along the center of
my page (lengthwise). Towards the end of the page, one can recognize
characters that were printed in the middle of the page. It looks like
some unit is dirty.
Would anyone happen to know off hand which unit it is and how I can
clean it? I've printed about 3700 pages with this cartridge and the
print quality has gotten lighter. If the solution is to put in a new
cartridge, would you happen to know whether the old one can be
refurbished (it's the first 3700 pages on it) or whether it has
permanently decided to add the black tone to the page as its personal
note? 

Thanks,

Axel

P.s. It's NeXT's 400dpi laserprinter (and the first time ever I have
      a problem with it)

The rule is this:
On boot, the NeXT checks to see if there is anything to export, based
on the contents of the /ets/exports file. If this file is missing (or
empty??), the NeXT does NOT run the special daemons (nfsd, ...) to handle
nfs mounts. 

So...

If you add a /etc/exports file to a running NeXT, the easiest thing to
do is re-boot the computer. I have tried to figure out which daemons
to run, and tried to remember, but it is really easier to just re-boot.

After the re-boot, the NeXT will be running everything necessary to 
support nfs mounting. (Note that Sun servers also exhibit this
"feature" for their nfs daemons.)

Hope this helps...

     accounting files...

2.  I added "routing" on my NetInfo & Configuration server.  However, the
     netinfo client doesn't see the routing.  (i.e. I cannot telnet to 
     some hosts on the client that I can get to on the server).  Should I
     manually add the routing on the local configuration sheet of the client?

3.  Are there any programs to put background pictures on the display?  "Scene"
     just doesn't cut it.  I have a nice color tiff file that only comes out
     in awful b/w.

4.  Finger user@nextmachine gives the same output as finger @nextmachine.
     Fingering user (locally) works fine.  Any suggestions?

One of our machines on a network of 40+ NeXTs refuses to let me change   
the time or the time zone and gives a "cannot set time" error messege.   
All our other NeXTs know what time it is.  Anybody have any ideas?

You have two choices:

1)  Get a network connection.
2)  Get a modem and run uucp, SLIP, or PPP

This is just a test.  I would like to avoid having the line run off the end
of the world like I see some peoples' posts do.

I have no signature.
