Organization: Philips Laboratories, Briarcliff, New York
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 20:22:05 GMT

Does anyone know of any public domain/free vt220 terminal emulator
source for an AT Clone?  I need to replace a dumb vt220 terminal on
our PBX with a clone.  I want to hack the source so that some status
reports that the PBX displays on the dumb terminal can be routed out
to a file and processed off-line.  If you mention an ftp site, I'd
appreciate it if you could give me the internet address in a dotted
decimal format (e.g. 128.113....)
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you have found your Windows swapfile.  You will probably find
another smaller hidden file on your disk that is also part of the
swapfile.  I don't recall the name off the top of my head.  (Sorry, it's

Sounds like your modem (internal?) has the wrong IRQ set.
Telix waits for the CONNECT string to indicate that the call
was successful, but the modem won't generate that string unless
the proper IRQ line is active.

Hello fellow netters,

	Our office currently has a number of Macs and IBM PC compatibles
networked together via localtalk (localtalk boards are installed in the
PCs).  We also have a GatorBox CS which we use as a bridge between our
localtalk network and our ethernet backbone to our Sun systems.  Via the
utilities provided with the GatorBox (MacTCP/IP, NCSA Telnet, etc) and
MacX we can work remotely from the Macs to access the Sun systems.  We are
interested in using the PCs in a similar manner. Is there a means
available for accessing the Suns via the Gatorbox->localtalk->PC connection?
Are there any PC products or programs available (such as DesqViewX) to
allow us to run X Windows on the PC via the GatorBox?

Please respond to djgray@rodan.acs.syr.edu. I'll post a summary for
the net.

Thanks in advance!

About four years ago I wrote a fairly sophisticated data acquisition
program to gather ASCII data from an optical mark reader via RS-232 serial
communications in QuickBasic.  I also wrote a similar program to
automatically transfer data between a mini and a PC.  I can offer a couple
tips which might help.

#1 make sure your null modem cable supports full handshaking.  Many null
modems only cross the data lines and do not also cross the status lines and
will fail at speeds above 300bps

#2 make sure you run an identical MODE statement on each machine before
starting your program to be sure the transmission speed, parity, etc. are
the same.

#3 you don't mention how far apart your machines are.  The further apart,
the lower your maximum transmission speed. Avoid speeds higher than 9600bps
if you can.

   Intel has just begun releasing the 33MHz version of the 486SX (within the
past month). If your friend got his machine any time before that, it
may be a "pushed" chip (a CPU that is being run above its rated speed). To
be sure, you have to look at the speed rating on the chip itself, not the
crystal. If this is a pushed chip, I would go have a talk with the dealer.
NO ethical dealer would sell a pushed CPU, especially without telling the
customer what he/she is really getting. The slower chips are cheaper, so such
a dealer is actually cheating you out of money.

Hi to everyone who decides to read this post,

	I am trying to use the INT 2F to register the TSR as loaded
into memory but I cannot get the status of the load to change
using 

	int 2F : BYTEREGS.h.ah = 1

	I read somewhere (I can't remember where) that to execute it
I should use the

command but I don't know what should be passed in the SREGS or
how to arrange the SREGS.

	Can anyone tell me if I am completely on the wrong track,
or if I am nearly there or ANYTHING!
	This problem is frustrating me no end.

	I would also appreciate any other information on other useful
interrupts, or on programming TSRs in general.

	Thanks in advance.

Right! And is it really possible? I mean does any of the well known disk
doubler softwares use public alogorithms? I know that STACKER uses some 
Lempel Zieve version which is called LZS. Which also is used in other 
software (like Norton Backup). More specific. Anyone know the algorithm 
(or if it's available from the manufacturer) of these produkts: Stacker, 
SuperStor and XTRADRIVE? 
 The reason I want to know this is that I want to access my DOS
partition from Linux and I like to have as much space available as possible
(i.e. use a disk doubler).

Hi netters,

Thanks for so many replies !

So the 486SX doesn't have a math-coprocessor build in,(I assume the Norton
does work properly this time.) but I couldn't find a socket on the mainboard
to put in an optional math-coprocessor(80487). Does it mean this knid of main
board can't put an optional math-coprocessor ? What should he do if he needs
a math-coprocessor ? Have to change his mainboard to be 486DX ?

Some netters said there are only 20Mhz and 25Mhz for 486SX, but my friend was
told it is a 486SX-33Mhz,because the dealer showed him on the mainboard there
is a "cyx... 66" (66/2 =33Mhz), however he only gets a 486SX-20Mhz manual as
the dealer says all 486SX mainboard menus are same.

RPI have been unable to get a Toshiba XM3301B CDROM drive to work under DOS
RPwith my Adaptec AHA1542B SCSI controller. I have the Adaptec ASW-410
RPToshiba drivers installed, and mscdex 2.21. Both drivers load normally,
RPmscdex claims to be installing the CDROM unit as drive E:, but attempts
RPat accessing it (eg. dir E:) also result in the error "Disk is not High
RPSierra or ISO9660 format" and the usual Abort, Retry, Fail.

RPNote that this EXACT same hardware setup running OS/2 2.0 has NO problems
RPall reading the drive.

Sounds to me like your driver might not be setup properly in your DOS
session (note, I don't know much about how OS/2 works) but I have the
following line in my config.sys:

device=C:\UTIL\CDROM\FDCD.SYS /D:MSCD000 /N:1

autoexec.bat:

C:\UTIL\CDROM\mscdex.exe /d:msCD000 /m:50 /e

This allows me to operate my Toshiba XM3301B attached to a similar
Adaptec SCSI card and operate flawlessly under DOS/Windows.

Hope this helps!!!

From the Stacker manual:

"Reboot during SDEFRAG detected."  Displayed next to a STACVOL filename
at system startup, this indicates that the system was rebooted or lost
power during SDEFRAG.  If the drive is mounted as write-protected, run
SDEFRAG on the Stacker drive (SDEFRAG d:) to remove the write-
protection, and run SDEFRAG again.  If the Stacker drive is not mounted,
run SDEFRAG with the /Fd:\STACVOL.xxx option on the STACVOL file.

I would rather post a public response:
First I question whether your friend has a legitmate copy of PC-DOS 5.0
(IBM version of MS-DOS 5.0.  If he does, IBM should be willing to make a
media swap.

Another possible solution is to boot the 3.5 disk on a machine with both
drive sizes and 3.5 as drive A: and create a bootable 5.25 disk and copy
all the other files on the 3.5 disks to 5.25 disks.  Then use the 5.25
disks on his or her machine (would likely require a manual installation).

A third solution is to find the PD utility that boots from drive A: and
then transfers the boot process to drive B: (assuming drive B: is
3.5)(often on BBSes as BOOT_B.xxx 'xxx' depends on the archiving process
used)

    I know this is NOT gonna help anyone, but I am posting out of sheer 
nostalgia and fanatism. The BEST joystick ever made has to be the old Atari
Standard. Remember it folks? I am the proud owner of one of those genuine
antiques for the last 5 years, and I am still using it on my ST back home.
I 'll just state 2 facts: 1) I play shoot 'em ups. Lots of 'em !!!.I 
changed 3 computers ( an AMSTRAD 464, an AMSTRAD 6128 --european Z80 based
machines that most people here probably have never heard of-- and an Atari 1040)
but just one joystick. Pity it's not compatible with the PCs...
Call me a fanatic, an oldtimer, but please don't flame me.....
