The problem is worse in that my kermit uses binary pids and my uucico uses
ascii pids.  So I hacked in code that will try a binary read if the ascii
read fails, this way it works with both types.

All gettyps distributions I have uploaded were configured in this manner, so
people with this problem must have changed the config.h file themselves. 
The tricky thing that isn't documented is that you have to #define *BOTH*
'ASCIIPID' and 'BOTHPID' in config.h (near the bottom) for this to work.

Yes, for a dumb modem that you are dialing by hand, this is true.
For a smart modem, you can just keep the WAITFOR=RING line in the defaults.

I have downloaded term076 and compiled it but I think I am confused about what 
is does. Does it simulate a slip connection between two unix boxes over a modem?
If I use xcomm does it make my machine an x-terminal allowing me to run an x 
program from the machine I am logged on to by modem and have it appear on my
screen?

If all of this is correct what doi I have to do to the remote machine to get it
acting right?

No. Fseek () should not be ignored if fopen ("foo", "a+") is used.

Have you tried my test code? Some Unices just ignore lseek (). FIFO is just
one type of file, on which lseek cannot be done. We have char devices and
sockets. I prefer stdio should not know so much details about the kernel.

Hi there.

First a Happy New Year to You all.

The last few weeks I've been reading tons of doc's and FAQ's,(and news)
but.....

I can still not get a SLIP connection to my job (Sun 1+, SunOs 4.1.1)
from my Linux-machine at home (486, 5Mb, .99p2). 

I have tried:

	Rebuilding SunOs (4 or 5 times with different SLIP packages)

	KA9Q  

	Term (Not SLIP I know)

Nothing works. 

I have no problem when running a communication program (i.e Seyon, Thanks M.)
and login on the Sparc, but I want a full connection to the Internet.

If there is anyone that has experienced the same problem, or even better, has 
the solution, could you _PLEASE_ email me some hints.

Thanks for your kind words. One minor note, though: it is not Seyon
that puts the file there. The Imake file has just a line like this:

          InstallAppDefaults(Seyon)

Believe it or not, that's all Seyon (and all other X applications that
use Imake files) has about the location of the app-defaults file. It
is up to the imake config files to place it in the right location,
which is of course system-dependent (hence the convenience of Imake
files. When you type xmkmf, the make file is created according to the
above instructions and the information in the imake templates. so if
the imake templates are inaccurate, the app-defaults file will be
misplaced

Versions 1.75 and up of Seyon no longer really need the app-defaults
file (except for color) since they have fallback resources. At any
rate, I'm enclosing a file called Makefile.SLS with newer versions of
Seyon, so users of SLS can skip xmkmf and just rename Makefile.SLS to
Makefile (I'm assuming in that file that SLS puts the X shared libs in
/usr/X386/lib/jump; SLS users, set me straight if that's not so).

Version 1.8 is due soon. It will have many new features, including a
totally revamped dialing directory, and the ability to set the dialing
parameters (number of bits, parity, stop bits ..etc.). If you want to
beta-test it, you can get 1.7? from sipb.mit.edu under
/pub/seyon/new-beta.

I have had a similar problem. Sometimes Curses had a bug when changing
the position of the cursor which results in the wrong y-position 1.
Curses has different ways to change the cursor position. One way works
with tabstops, but these aren't correctly set on my mashine (termcap bug?).
so I changed 'cr_put.c' (libcurses.a) to use always the 'CM'-code (from
termcap) to change the cursor position and now it works.

Hope it help's

Install groff and you will get all of these functions. You can get source
from prep.ai.mit.edu in the /pub/gnu directory. You should use gcc 2.3.3

You will probably want to get binutils 2.0, since they supposedly have support
for cross-compiling across systems that have endian differences.

But, not to throw a damper on things I have never been able to get my cross
compiler to make working executables. I can compile up to the .o stage and
then take them home and finish, but no executable runs.

I can cross compile the kernel and libraries this way, but nothing else.

(BTW this is from a sun4 system to linux)

NNTP-Posting-Host: psun2.hmi.de

 
(be warned, I *am* one of those dreaded newbies...)
 
I downloaded the new version of SLS (Jan 11, 1993). These are the first
problems that I encountered.

(1) I installed the a-c disks but apparently that was too much. I have 36 Mb
free space on the disk and the docs say that a-c take 25 Mb. Believe it or not,
my installation dies at about disk c4 because space has gone. (I do not need
special swap space with my 16 Mb RAM).

(2) The installation of tcpip seems much easier now, according to the docs,
but I cannot get it up though. I get 'network not reachable' (or similar)
when I try to ftp or telnet from the PC. From another (Sun) machine to the
PC, ftp hangs.

In this connection it strikes me that after running Linux and the attempted
ftp/telnet, a subsequent Dos run of ezsetup (setup software of the Elite16
ethernet card) shows that the ram address is now FD0000 rather than 0D0000.
Has Linux messed with the card's setup?

Another question: when configuring ftpip, one is asked for the "net address"
and the docs tell us to simply use the host's address but with the last bit
changed to 0. I did that. But I find in the NCSA Telnet configuration another
entry, the "netmask" parameter that reads differently (255.255.0.0). Just
wonder, would this be the proper "net address"?
 
Again, here is a newbie, but I *thought* this is the kind of user that needs
protection against hard landing...

Version 1.8 of Seyon (released earlier today) lets you use speeds up
to 115,200 bps, but you have to enable this feature at compile-time by
setting the appropriate flag in config.h (#define USE_NONSTD_SPEEDS).

I just installed GCC 2.3.3 and the 4.2 jump libs.  I read the release

For example, my X386 installation has libs in two directories: 
  /usr/X386/lib     
  /usr/X386/lib/jump
Which files get renamed?  I tried renaming all the files in
/usr/X386/lib/jump to have extensions of .sa, but when I tried to
compile and link some files, ld gives me an error about not being

I am still having the same problems.  Any ideas what could be wrong?

setterm -dump

will create a file called screen.dump

It works on my system ONLY in 80x25 mode, not in 132x42

Hi,

I am having compiling any program that uses lex(flex) and
yacc(bison) under Linux. The same code compiles and runs just fine
under other operating system( Ultrix,AIX,NeXT..).
I put some printf's around in yacc code, and looks like 'yytext' gets some
junk chars. I checked  lex file, everthing looks OK.
My question is ; who defines 'yytext'?, is there anything that we should
do when we port standard lex&yacc code to flex&bison?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It me about NZ$10 (about 3) a megabyte to ftp files so I would like to
know
the size of linux for a bog standard 386, VGA + 40Mb hard drive.  Also, if
it
is too expensive to download, does anybody know of ftp sites which sell
tapes (exabyte 2.3Gb) of linux.  I don't mind paying for the cost of the
tape
and airmail if it is going to cheaper.
