Subject: how to connect a modem to a Sun SPARCstation?
Date: 14 Sep 92 22:35:40 GMT
Organization: Dept. of Electronics, Computer Science & Systems, Univ. of Bologna, Italy


Hi netters,

I'm wondering about connecting a modem to my Sun SPARCstation 1+ (SunOS 4.1.1)
via its serial port.

In particular, I would get the following situation:

1) At home, call the Sun from my PC via kermit and my modem.
2) The modem connected to the Sun replies (it has the auto-answer facility)
3) The Sun offers the login prompt
4) I login into my Sun account
5) I start a program (or a shell-script) such that:
 a) I can hang up at home
 b) In a few seconds, the Sun dials my home phone number
 c) My PC replies to the incoming call and gets a login prompt by the Sun.

Is this procedure possible?
I think so, but I cannot figure out which setup to perform on my Sun and which
software (Public Domain...) I must use.

Any solution is welcome, even partial.
Please reply by e-mail, and I will post a summary.

Thanks in advance.

I have some unused Sun Type 4 keyboards for sale. No mice or pads 
at this time :( and your mouse with the modular (like a telephone) plug 
won't work. Maybe if you hack it, dunno. 

Perfect if your keyboard is flaky or bad.

I have a few US keyboards and a few Swiss keyboards which have a different 
arrangment of keys and different keycaps. 

I am asking $65 each plus shipping for them, buyer to pre-pay 
by check (personal OK). Net references available on request. 
If the response is underwhelming I may be open to offers but I figure 
if you need one $65 is good and if you don't a few bucks won't make any 
difference so I may sit on them. 

I do have some 8 pin DIN to 15 pin D-sub cables available which adapt these 
to Sun 3 and 4 VME CPU's for $15 each. A few will be available seperately 
if I sell a few keyboards without them. 

E-mail me as cornhead@netcom.com if you're interested, if there are any left 
I'll send you my US Mail adress and further instructions.

Sun does assert that SCSI disks are not supported on the 4/490
or 4/690 servers. The fact is, the 4/690 *is* a 4/670 with a larger
VME backplane, mounted in a non-standard 19" rack. Both use the same
system board. Basic rule of thumb: If it works on a 4/670 it will
work on a 4/690. The 490 and 690 are not sold by Sun with SCSI, so
the decision not to support this is a marketing one.

We bought our 4/490 as an upgrade from a 3/280 and so it came diskless.
We have three VME SCSI boards, each with from two to four 1.2GB Seagate
ST41200N (CDC Wren VII) drives. (By the way, the Wren VII is NOT SCSI-2,
but it does synchronous transfers > 4MB/sec).

We recently purchased the 690MP upgrade, along with two of the SBE
(SCSI/Buffered Ethernet) cards you described. We have also purchased
the SBus Prestoserve board. All will be installed this Thursday
evening... I will be posting the results here.

	I'm not real sure what O_NONBLOCK would do in this case but I use
O_NDELAY and that works.  The man pages on /dev/audio make no reference to
O_NONBLOCK but do specify O_NDELAY for controling immediate return if the
device is busy.

	According to the man pages on "open", O_NONBLOCK is supposed to be
equivalent to O_NDELAY.  If you look at /usr/include/sys/fcntlcom.h (included
from /usr/include/sys/fcntl.h, which is included from /usr/include/fcntl.h)
you will find that O_NDELAY is _FNDELAY and is non blocking I/O BSD 4.2 style.
Same file says O_NONBLOCK is _FNONBLOCK and is non blocking I/O POSIX style.
They are different bits in the option field.  Obviously, to /dev/audio, they
are not at all equivalent.  I guess that means that the manual pages on
"open" lied.  Sigh.....

	I have used O_NONBLOCK for opening named pipes when I did not want
a write to a pipe to block.  In that case O_NDELAY affected the action when
the pipe was opened (didn't wait for the other end to open) but O_NONBLOCK
affected active writing when the pipe is full.

	Hope this helps...

Organization: Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1992 22:49:02 GMT

We are investigating adding disk drives to our Sun 4/690MP.  We had
been buying IPI drives but were interested in SCSI-2 drives given the
smaller performance differences between SCSI-2 and IPI and the lower
cost of the SCSI drives.

The local Sun sales people are discouraging me from hanging scsi disks
on the 690MP.  They claim it isn't supported and while it will work
now Sun will not commit to keeping the SBus SCSI and SCSI disks
working with the 690MP.  In the SunExpress catalog (Summer/Fall '92)
on page 49 there is a X1054A SCSI-2/buffered ethernet card that the
side bar claims will work in a 690.  However there don't seem to be
any SCSI disks in the "Storage Products" section of the catalog that
aren't for the 630 or 670 (see the footnotes on p. 37).
Local Sun field engineers claim they have installed the card in 690s
but only for the high speed ethernet--no one locally had used the SCSI
side of the card.

So I called my usual 3rd party disk vendor to see what their prices
and opinions might be.  Their line is that IPI is NOT a good choice
that Sun will be moving to "differential SCSI" technology and that I
should buy the controller card from Sun and get SCSI-2 drives.  This
is a much cheaper solution and probably meets my performance needs,
but I don't want to make trouble for myself down the road.

Do any of you have experience with SCSI-2 drives and the new
controller (X1054A) on a 690MP?  Do any of you think you know what Sun
is doing regarding IPI v SCSI v whatever on the 4/690MP?  If there is
a problem with SCSI on the 690, could some one explain it to me?

The latest OS version a Sun3 will run is "4.1.1_U".  It's 4.1.1 with the bug
fixes distributed with 4.1.2, but without the "enhancements."

Hello, I have a Seagate ST1239NS that has started acting up.
I had cleanly halted its Sun Sparc I+ running SunOS 4.1 to add 
an Uniterruptable Power Supply. While I had it down, I replaced 
the jerry-rigged mounting bracket of the 1239NS with a sun-issue 
one. When I tried to reboot the machine displayed the pre-boot banner, 
(you know, that =~ 4-line header before the "loading vmunix" message 
appears) then froze. It didn't even attempt to load vmunix. I tried to 
capture diagnostic messages routed to ttya but evidentally my dumb terminal 
and printer aren't the proper sort of hardware.

If I remove the disk the machine works again. If I move the disk
to another Sun (I've tried a II running SunOS 4.1.1 and another
I+ running 4.1.2) The same thing happens. Actually the II's screen
refuses to even light up. (Yes, it was on and the brightness/contrast
knobs were adjusted.) The drive had worked just fine before shut down.

SO, has anyone encountered this before? What could be going wrong with
the drive?? I tried calling Seagate but their phone support is now
a toll call. I could very well pay for the drive before I got connected
to a human :-)

Thanks for any advice you may have,
Rich

Unfortunately you don't gives us alot to go on.

Maybe I am stupid, but I need help from someone who knows about Cables.

I am about to install a HP LaserJet III to my Sparc 1+.  It does not have
the parallel port, so I decided to use the serial port.(ttyb, since ttya is
connected to modem).  And I have 25-pin RS232 Cable.  Now, this printer is
currently connected to a switch box, which multiplexes to two PC's.  I am
about to disconnect one of the PC's and connect the Sun to switch box.  One
strange thing is, though, this switch box has 3 25-pin female connectors,
which tells me this is a serial connection.  And yet, the cables from the
switch box are attached to PC through LPT1, which I believe is the parallel
port, and also attached to the parallel port of the LaserJet III.  At this
point, I don't know what's parallel and serial any more.  I simply thought:

1) RS232 is serial, and they come in different pin config.
2) Centronix (sp?) is parallel, and it looks different.
3) LPT1 is parallel.
4) ttya and ttyb is serial.

Now, either there is something seriously wrong with my above knowledge, or
something is wrong with our current connection (but they have been printing
fine), or there is nothing wrong with any of the above and I screwed up
something else and I am going bananas here for no reason.

While I am at it, one more question. :)

Some vague clause in the Sun manual hints me (I hate when they do that), I
might need null-modem cable (???) depends on the printer I have.   It that
the case here?  What the hell is null-modem cable?  They lost all HP manual
except a user manual which says things like I have put more paper when it
says "Out of Paper", I am clueless in what kind of cable is needed to
connect these suckers.  Does someone have experience in this?

Of course I have tried the "connect-where-it-fits" method and of course it
doesn't work.  Silly me.

Could someone please enlighten this poor soul?

Thanks in advance
