A/UX is a commercial product available for purchase from your nearest Apple
computer dealer.  The A/UX 2.0.1 version available on aux.support.apple.com
is a free upgrade available to those who have purchased A/UX 2.0.  It is
not a complete distribution of A/UX.

When you purchase A/UX, you get complete instructions for setup.

This is my first dumb question since installing A/UX 3.0 on a quantum 210
prodrive.  The partition scheme is the standard for disks larger than
160Meg (about 128meg for usr & root, 4meg macpartion, swap, driver etc. and
50Meg Unix Free slice 3). The question is am I getting this space. I used
df and saw only one file system and it looks like just 120megs. Do I have
to add something to my /etc/fstab? Thanks, gsm

Yes.

The cpio file (the 9 megger one) got "fixed" by A/UX 2.0 because it 
treats cpio file as TEXT file. This happens when you move the 
downloaded binary cpio file from MacOS partition to A/UX partition.

The best way to avoid this is transfering the file from Sun
to A/UX partition directly.

	Has anyone had any luck using Ethertalk under A/UX 3.0 with a TechWorks
Ethernet IIsi card? When I switch from LocalTalk to EtherTalk, I get an error
saying it can't open the connection, switching to Local.
	I'm pretty sure I need to use the Installer program which came with the
card. It does some patches to the System file. Unfortunately, the Installer
program crashes in A/UX. Can I use ResEdit to manually make the changes? If so,
what are the changes.
	I have already installed the A/UX drivers for this card. But I think
these were meant only for TCP/IP, not AppleTalk connections. I haven't had time
to test out the card from the command prompt, so I don't even know if the A/UX
drivers work.
	Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello;

	Once again I need to ask for help.  

	first...I would like to run Eudora1.2.2 with A/UX as the server.  When I 
try to access my mailer Eudora tells me that the server came half way up then
crapped out.  I think I need a pop server since it looks like A/UX does not
come with one.  I am currently using elm and the sendmail deamon.  Where can
I get a pop server?

	second...I am trying to set up nn to access the network news.  I would like
use nntp.  I ftp nntp1.5.9 from jagubox, and compiled the code.  I then tried
to install the client (i.e. inews)  When ever I try to access inews, I get
the following message "nntp/tcp: Unknown service."  I set up a file that has
the name of the remote nntp server in it, and I put its address in my 
/etc/hosts file.  Inews seems to find the info OK since it echos back to me
that it can not find the nntp host at the address I provided to it.

	I am totally dumbfounded by this nasty situation.  The building of nntp, and
nn seemed easy.  Yet I can not get it to work.

I know this doesn't help your problem, but I would suggest you run C news
rather than B news if at all possible. It runs just fine under A/UX and
is MUCH faster and more efficient than B.

This wouldn't be the "TZ isn't set" problem would it? Or isn't that fixed

Except... It doesn't handle telnet synch properly. Also, transparency doesn't

Hm, actually it sounds like you've got a different problem than the one the
wuarchive telnet is supposed to fix. I recommend that you fiddle with various
kernel parameters.

This machine accepts hundreds of telnet connections daily, without the problem

Yes, as was explained in an earlier post.

I have had similar problems, and at times the following worked for me:

uuencode the file on the mac, using some PD program (the name escapes me
for the moment), and then transfer it to A/UX.

Best is to uuencode the file before you transfer it to the mac, then you
will never have any problems. Supposedly 3.0 fixes this bug.

Despite what I originally wrote, BlackOut does not work under A/UX 3.0.
Moire 3.22 works fine but has a very minor incompatibility with FMbackup.
AfterDark (version v) also works great with no problems at all (although
one user did mention that it ran _very slowly_ on his system... This has
not been seen by any others).

There is also an Application called DarkSide... As far as I can tell, it
works just dandy under 3.0.

If you use one of the CDEV/Extensions screen-savers, then you'll need to
put them in the A/UX System Folder (usually /mac/sys/System Folder) and
not in MacPartition. This get's asked a lot... I think I'll add it to the
FAQ ;)

Yes. It works fine to install a/ux. It will mount both HFS and unix fs
cd's under a/ux. No tricks necessary, other than to have the mac

Well, let's 1st of all assume that the HP unit is correctly configured
to be a SLIP server (is it?) Also, it knows the IP address for your
client (in /etc/slip.hosts or whereever for HPUX).

Let's also assume that your /etc/hosts file is correct (Looks like it is).

So let's start with the simple questions (which are kinda obvious)....

	1. Are all your networking deamons active? (looks like it)

	2. Is the Devices file right (and are you using HDB 1.16)?

	3. Are you using 'cu' or 'tip' to establish the connection
	   between your client and the server?

	4. Can you connect to the server with 'cu' or 'tip'?

	5. Did you start slip after you "logged onto" the server?

	6. If so, what did it say?

	7. As slip is running on the server, did you start another
	   CommandShell (on your client) and run stattconf? What
	   options did you use?

	8. Only after all that happens will TCP/IP stuff work.

Ah.. But I thought I corrected for that, by changing the TYPE to BIN & A/UX
while the file was still in the Mac partition. Then when I move the file from
the Mac Partition, to a A/UX partition, the file is not supposed to be 
converted.

Anyway, I was finally successful transferring the file via floppy. I "bar'd"
it from my sparc, and used suntar on the mac to get the file into a mac 
partition. Then, I used ResEdit to change the finder attributes to BIN & A/UX,
and copied the file from Mac to A/UX partition. This worked. The resulting
file in the A/UX partition "passed" the checksum.

However, it did not solve my initial problem (in a separate post <sign>).

A/UX works fine if I boot with only my monochrome monitor. If I put the

I have: Radius 24XK precision color interface

No problems on the MacOS side (in fact, I'm quite happy with the color setup.)
I moved to A/UX 2.0.1 because it is based on 6.0.7, which is required for
the interface (so says the Radius documentation, which also says its compatible
with A/UX 2.0!!)

If I call it as

everything is fine. The parameter is recognized and life is great.

Here comes the confusion: As soon as I call it as

the parameter is not recognized anymore. Even supplying it with

Could some kind soul out there explain what is going on and why
