Or you can just head on down to your local apple dealer and pick some

Folks interested in the future of DN&R and how information will be brought
to you through one of the few remaining free publications might also
want to check out the discussions on-going in vmsnet.internals.  Although
my name is bandied about there, the general discussion on who you

You can save the last line from /etc/ttys for each frame buffer/monitor
combination you want and put them all in the file with the ones you
are not currently using commented out.

You also have to watch out for differences in the kernel.  You can include
all the frame buffer device lines you need in your kernel config file (or copy
all the lines from the GENERIC kernel config file to yours) and rebuild
the kernel.

Two phases at 180deg or at 120 deg? The .AU power is 240 nominal from each
phase to neutral. The phases are at 120deg, hence 440v from phase to phase.
Neutral is tied to earth at the meterbox BTW, so the phases are resonably
symetric to earth. 
I understood the US two phase system was two 110v phases at 180deg, 220v phase
to phase, and in some places 208v phase to phase 120deg by local motor-altenator.
I have seen 'tricks' to run 3 ph motors off 1 or 2 phases, most having problems
at start-up. A 3 ph motor will run quite happily with only two phases connected,
but may not be able to deliver full power, or may be easier to stall.

These lines appear on Sony Trinitrons.  The manual which came with my

 "The Sony TRINITRON(R) color CRT used on this product provides improved

A safer address is probably either jack%digrev.uucp@eddie.mit.edu or

The only possible good thing I can think of that may arise from this 
transition is if Digital Review would only stop using the brain-dead
term "MicroVUPs".  Use VUPs of SPECmarks or whatever.  The use of
MicroVUPs was (I think) started and propagated by Digital Review, and

I remember that this was covered a couple of months ago, but I didn't

Ultrix on a non-DEC "unsupported" drive.  When we try to
do the install of Ultrix, it comes up with:

Unable to obtain device geometry for rz0.
This is not a supported system disk.

Unfortunately, it is the only disk.  It is a Seagate ST1480N, which
is supposed to be close to an RZ25.  It is 400 MB, but I'm not sure
whether that is formatted or unformatted.

Anyway, we'd like to get the installation done, so any help would
be appreciated.  This would be a great thing to add to the Ultrix
FAQ on gatekeeper and friends.

There are some tar ports in the public domain, you could easily locate
them with archie.

Another solution will be the installation of VMS Posix, there is an 
tar command included. (Besides that VMS POSIX is a halfhearted, damned slow
Unix emulation). Installation of VMS POSIX will be at no cost for you,
as the licence is included with VMS, and the KIT is on the CONDIST.

I'm trying to set up UUCP between a remote machine (bastille) and a local
machine (focus) - bastille always polls focus and focus never polls
bastille.  The unique feature is that on the focus side, the 
connection goes through a modem pool and then via ethernet to focus.

Here's an abridged version of the debug output from uucico -r1 -x6 -sfocus
on bastille:

[...]
root focus (8/25-17:29-190) SUCCEEDED (call to focus )
imsg looking for SYNC<

imsg input<Shere\0>got 5 characters
omsg <Sbastille -Q0 -x6>
imsg looking for SYNC<
Connection Closed
port 15 unixops-annex: root focus (8/25-17:30-190) TIMEOUT (focus)

On focus I get the error:

ASSERT ERROR (uucico)  pid: 1240  (8/25-17:32) NO DEFAULT SPOOL DIRECTORY subdir (0)

in ERRLOG and (sometimes I get) the error:

Ubastill focus (8/25-17:32-18637) CAUGHT (SIGNAL 1)

in LOGFILE.  Does it have something to do with the fact the the modem
is not on a hardwire line to focus and is coming in (essentially) through
the network?  I can't change the /etc/ttys file to tell focus about
this since I never know which tty it will log on to. How can I fix
this?

machine info:
Bastille is a NeXT which I believe is set-up correctly ( I can't see how the
problem could be coming from here). 
Focus is a DEC VAXserver 3500 running Ultrix 4.1.  I set up uucp on focus 
using the supplied "addinsys" script with no changes.

According to the people from DEC I was speaking to at DECUS last week,
around April or so next year - around the same time they expect to start
shipping with X11R5. (Why it takes so long to start shipping something, I
dont know - an X11R5 server for the PXG graphics card would be nice)

Does it HAVE to be a file system.  Generally this sort of thing would
be done with something that write tar(5) format archives.  There isn't
one in stock VMS, but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find one.
