Has anyone set up uucp and getty so that they have dial-in/out lines?

I assume it has something to do with uugetty ( which I've gotten ),
but after that I'm pretty clue-less. 

If you have uucp dialing out on the same line that users are dialing in
on please let me know HOW you're doing it.  I'll post a summary when I
get the answer.

You'll also need the base3.Z disk, which has the assembler, the
linker, and various other compilation utiltities.  The README files
don't explain this as well as they might.

Hi fellows!

I don't know wether I'm going to warm up forgotten discussions, but hasn't yet
anybody worked on a program that makes heavy use of realloc ?

I had severe problems getting a regex-package (0.11) to work. I got several
IOT-Trap-cores till I remebered about the malloc(0) problem with linux.
There is a work-around for malloc and calloc in stdlib.h BUT none for realloc!
Somebody forgot something, I suppose! ;-) So to avoid unnecessary cores you
might want to include few lines to your stdlib.h (to make it easy, lets 
patch it!). Its nothing serious (just copied 5 lines) but it makes regex work!

I have found that even some library-functions make use of realloc, I think
this might be the cause of some porting-problems.

If this is a well known problem, please don't flame, I just wanted to help!

Subject: ANNOUNCE: Seyon 1.1 is out
Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 1992 08:07:17 GMT

(The first time I posted this didn't seem to go through, sorry if you
see it twice).

Version 1.1 is out. You can get it from the usual place, sipb.mit.edu
at pub/seyon. Notable in this version is ZMODEM autodownload and
integrating the dialer into the dialing directory. Please let me know
how it works out for you (i.e. don't send me bug reports only, I'd
like to hear success stories as well). I encourage those interested in
Seyon to joing the Seyon mailing list. I send a copy of each reply to
a letter concerning Seyon to the mailing list, so it would be very
beneficial to join. I'd like to carry out discussions about
suggestions and further development of Seyon there as well. See the
FAQ on how to join.

The following is an introduction, followed by the change log since the
last version.

(NOTE: Seyon now uses an Imake file (see below), so it is essential
that you do 'xmkmf' before proceeding.)

Introduction:
=============

	This is Seyon, an X-based communication package that has its roots
	in xcomm 2.2. Seyon has a descent dialing directory where hosts
	can be chosen by clicking at them. Seyon has the same script
	language as xcomm 2.2, which is quite good. Seyon avoids the
	problematic terminal emulation of minicom and other communication
	programs by using xterm as its terminal emulator. Hence, Seyon can
	emulate vt100 and color ANSI (the latter only if color xterm is
	used). Some non-essential features are still not implemented but
	will be in the near future.  If you use Seyon and like it, please
	let me know by email. This will give me the incentive to continue
	maintaining it. Also let me know how it works out whenever you
	upgrade to a new version.

	Please read the FAQ. I've put a lot of effort into making it
	complete and up-to-date. It serves as the documentation for Seyon
	(until a kind soul writes a good documentation for it).

Changes
=======

Version 1.1:
	* Major revisions to the dialer. The dialer is now integrated into
	  the dialing directory instead of having its own popup (no need
	  to clutter the screen).
	* Fixed it so that there may be no more than one copy of the
	  dialing direcotry. 
	* The transfer popup now pops down after the transfer is
	  initiated. Similarly the shell popup.
	* Auto ZMODEM download is now fully supported. See tha FAQ to
	  learn how to set it up or disable it (thanks to R. Ramish for
	  supplying the auto download string).
	* Seyon now has an Imake file (kindly contributed by David Boyce,
	  with minor modifications by me).
	* The dialing directory now 'remembers' its location and size if
	  moved or resized interactively.
	* The status area is now fully supported. most of the messages now
	  appear there instead of at the terminal.
	* Seyon now shows some 'fun' messages in the status area if it has
	  nothing else to say (I know, I got carried away. Anyhow, it can
	  be disabled, see the FAQ).

My newsreader does not include text but this is a followup to the
gentleman who would use kermit if it could do rz/sz.

First of all the new kermit protocols with large block sizes and sliding
windows is not the dog of yesteryear.  It may not be as speedy as zmodem
but it is close and it is embedded in kermit.

Secondly it is very easy to start a zmodem transfer from within kermit
provided that you have a slightly older version of rs/sz.  You have to
know of course which serial port you are using.  Start, for example, sz
on the remote to begin a download, then escape back to the kermit
prompt with ^- C (CNTRL backslash, then the letter c).  At the kermit
prompt type the following:  ! rz </dev/ttys0 >/dev/ttys0

The complete command line should look like this:

     C-Kermit>! rz </dev/ttys0 >/dev/ttys0

Note that ttys0 refers to the first serial port, if you were on the second
the device would be /dev/ttys1 etc...

When the download finishes you will be returned to the Kermit prompt,
type connect to get back to the remote host.

Rumor has it that newer versions of rz/sz have been intentionally crippled
by its author to prevent I/O redirection from being used like this.  I
cannot attest to this personally but have heard it from a couple of places.
If this is true another sterling example of why the kermit protocol should
be used.  Mr. Forsberg seems to have a history of wanting the Zmodem
protocol to become the public standard but doesn't want things to be too
free.  Just my opinion of course.

Good luck.  The new kermits (we are using 186) have an extraordinary
amount of features built into them.  Solid, proven software.

hello,
I am using OS/2 and Linux on my hard disk. I use LILO 0.6, installed
with option -b /dev/hda2 (my Linux partition) The Master Boot Record
was installed by some NOS (no operating system). I made the linux
partition active. os/2 support in lilo is supplied by adding the line
         os2=/etc/lilo/chain.b+/dev/hda1$/dev/hda
when hda1 is the os/2 partition. (Dollar stands for Ascii 0x40, sorry
I'm on some EBCDIC machine here).
As long as you always specify the -b option to lilo, you cannot bomb
any other partition on your hard disk. (Well, almost cannot)
First I worked with OS/2 Boot Manager (tm), but that thing used
1 MB on my hard disk for 14 KB Code, so I sent it to the trashcan.
For file transfer, I use a FAT partition (extended)

I hacked a driver for the Plus Hardcard II XL (105mb) sometime
ago (Linux-0.96 I think), however I abandoned it when I upgraded
my system.  I mailed the sources to someone who requested them
about two months ago.  I don't think I saved them after that.
I'll check my outbox in an effort to identify who I sent them to.

Hi.  I recently got from TSX-11.MIT.EDU the SLS A2 disk which is the root
disk.  After RAWRITing it to a floppy, I popped in my boot disk, and when
prompted to, put in the root disk.  At this point, the disk drive stopped
accessing the disk and then nothing.  And ideas? :-)

Cheers,
