Yes, Coherent is a good OS for news and mail. Mail service works via
UUCP, but not SLIP with Coherent. News requires additional software.
A customer support UUCP bbs is offered to Coherent customers. 
It has some free news software that works with Coherent. 

You also get KA9Q from mwcbbs which will provide you with SLIP, but
it does not support nntp or smtp which are needed for internet news
and mail.

These pieces of software can also be obtained over the internet by using
anonymous ftp from raven.alaska.edu.

I would suspect that the problem is in the dial chat script used to talk to the
modem. Examples of what works for my generic Hayes 2400 compatible and old
internal Trailblazer PC modems are:

/usr/lib/uucp/dial:

dialer HAYES_2400
chat "" ATQ0E1V1L2M1DT\D CONNECT\s2400
chat-timeout 60

I have some code that was compiled under SCO running
under Coherent 4.0.  This code uses curses to set rev
video, contol the arrow keys, etc.  If I log into a
vt100 terminal attached to the serial port things work
just fine, however from the console (set with TERM as
ansipc) the settings are completely off.  The reverse
video does not reset when a non highlighted selection is
selected.  Has anyone out there run into similar problems
with ansipc?  Is there an upgraded terminfo entry?

That and the fact that you don't reboot that often (I hope).  I think
I reboot just once a month when I do a cpio of the entire disk.

I timed how long the thing spun on mine: 1 second (almost).  It goes so

Organization: Loyola College in Maryland

Hello.  I am getting an error on boot time and would like information on
why it is occuring.

I am running:
Coherent 386 4.0.1  on a Notebook 486DX Proffesional
The BIOS is as follows:
Cirrus VGA BIOS 3.03
486 Modular BIOS V3.20 from Award Software

Coherent co-exists with a DOS 5.0/Windows 3.1 partition on the drive.  I
am using the MWC bootstrap provided w/ Coherent.

The error occurs just before the screen clears and the fsck begins.  The
error reads as follows:

prepare_gift(): WARNING: not enough room for arguments.  Only 496 bytes
                submitted.

The OS continues to boot normally and goes to multi-user mode after the
fsck.  I am just curious if anyone else has the problem, and if they know
why it occurs.

Also, my fsck finds ALOT of errors sometimes (SUPERBLOCK problems, unknown
inodes, etc.) caused it to reboot again and again up to about 8 times.  Is
this a common occurance?

Thanks for your help.

You might try to play with your setup a bit.  For example, on my 33MHz 486, for
Coh 4.0 to run I had to: 1) disable video rom shadowing (no loss here, since
under DOS I let QEMM shadow this area - system rom shadow is still enabled);
2) change the I/O Recovery Time Delay (in my case to 8 BCLK).  I have to boot
the system at low speed, but once Coh is up and testing the file system I can
kick it up to full speed.

Obviously, you will probably have to change other things.  The point is that
you may need to play around some to get Coh 4.0 to work on your 486.  Using
the stock "out of the box" setup, the Coh installation disks wouldn't even 
boot - now, I don't think Coh 4.0 has crashed since I got it running.

BTW, Coh 3.x ran just fine on this same system, no tweaking necessary.

Date: 8 Nov 92 20:02:20 GMT
Organization: Ritz International, Inc. - Import/Export Consultants
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]

I'm having a problem with uucico.  If, for whatever reason, I
get a failed login, uucico does not hang up the modem.  I
get a message about a failed login in the log file and the
abnormal completion message, but uucico quits with the modem
still on hook.

Normally, I could just set my inactivity register on the modem
to hangup after a few minutes of inactivity, but even that 
doesn't work in this case since I have enabled this serial
port to allow logins.  So after uucico dies, the port
gets enabled and starts arguing with my machine over the
login: prompt.

There is probably an easy fix, but I cannot seem to figure
it out.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I remember someone posting a way to convince uucico to
keep trying to connect until it succeeds.  Could somebody
email me that solution again?  I get a fair amount of
failed logins as my modem is not very reliable.  Hopefully,
I'll be able to afford a Xyxel soon.

Cheers,

Chris

I installed uusecure and also had problems with it. Outgoing spooled files
are created with nice safe permissions but incoming files are created with
mode 666 (rw-rw-rw-). While these files exist only temporarily (until
uucico exits and calls uuxqt) they're still a significant security problem.

I've take a look at Taylor 1.03. But I'm not using it, because I can't

it, so that it does work with all the system files from MWC's uucp.
I don't like to rewrite all this files, my system is connectet to
many other systems.

I just talked to MWC customer service a few days ago.  They said that GCC
will be a while yet.  They are selling like the sell Cohware, so I assume
that it will be on MWC BBS as well as shipped to people who buy it (media
cost).  I have it on order, and I will post on this group as soon as I get
it.  Also, they say that MWC will soon be shipping GNU Tools Volume 1 which
contains over 50 GNU tools including gawk, bison, less, etc. etc.  It does
*not*, however, include GNU Emacs.
(BTW, does anyone know of a Coherent port of GNU Emacs.  If there is none,
I hope to port it myself when GCC comes.)
Anyway, I will post to this group if I get anymore info.

For what it's worth, I installed Taylor UUCP and set up all the files
but never got it going completely. For some reason it would initiate
the call, the modem would dial and connect, and then Taylor UUCP would
abort for some reason or another. I never was able to resolve the problem,
but it aborted when receiving CONNECT xxxx from the modem. After modifying
various files and investing in several calls to MWCBBS, I finally went
back to the stock UUCP. From what I can tell, Taylor UUCP seems to be a
fine set of utilities. I particularly like the new format files and I
do plan to eventually lick this problem. But it'll take a while considering
the current phone budget. <sigh>

By the way, has anyone tried using Taylor UUCP with a Practical Peripherals
2400 V.42bis internal modem? If so, I'd appreciate knowing the initialization
string you use with Taylor. MWC UUCP works fine right now, but there appears
to be some interaction between the modem and Taylor UUCP that Taylor doesn't
like.

I want to know if X11 sources (release version # will be helpful) provided by the
MIT ftp site can be built on top of Coherent Unix.

Please e-mail to me directly.
Thanks

COPS has been running here for a couple of months and regularly
mails me reports. I'm running 4.0 on a 386/25 with 4Mb.

 Yes, I experienced a similar problem with Coh v3.2.  

 It was caused by adding /usr/bin/modeminit to /etc/init. If I commented that
line out, it all worked as expected.  

 I haven't had time to install v4.0 yet :-(
