Hey there,
    I would like to apologize to this group.  The FTP service was not set up 
properly on ucqais.cba.uc.edu.  Apparently the pub permissions were not right.
My mistake, and I am sorry.  However, the service is now ready for use.  In the
future, please try to inform me if there are any problems.  I will do my best
to take care of them.


Thanks,
     Steven Kilby

Looking for a way to integrate your 3b2 into an
existing ethernet network? Looking for that overpriced
piece of electronic magic to plug into a slot, but at
a reasonable cost?

3b2 ethernet card for sale, $250.

I've seen one place that actually sells them for $995!

Price does _not_ include shipping.

I just downloaded the g++ library, and found that the 3B2
is not a supported host.

I don't see how it could be that machine specific.

I'm going to play around with it and try to get it to build,
but I probably won't get to it until tonight.

My employer has an AT&T 6386 WGS Unix system.  While they are currently
only running about 2 users, I can see as many as 40-50 in the future.
They will be using the system with the AT&T Conversant for some voice
dialogue applications.

At any rate, we were told that 16MB of ram on this system was unheard of!
Is this true?  My UNIX background has been mostly Altos and SCO (please,
no cheap shots), and 16MB was usually the minimum ram requirements.  The
AT&T sales rep we talked to said that 12mb was the biggest he's ever seen.

Am I missing something here?  Am I expecting too much out of this machine
(the 40+ users)?  Views anyone?

Lots of stuff is available on the AT&T Toolchest.  Dial by modem to 
1-908-522-6900 and login is as "guest".

Two new packages have just been placed there, 5620dev and 5620rom.
The former is the cross-compilation system development package, and
the latter is the source to the 5620 2.0 roms.  You will probably
also be interested in 630_pkg which contains many downloaded tools that 
run in both the 5620 and the 630/730.  Each package is $100. 

After you have signed up for the service and have ordered packages, 
you transfer them by polling the Toolchest modems with the uucp 
protocol.  

I don't know where you got your Sun layers, but the latest is now 
available on anonymous ftp on research.att.com under dist/dmd/dmdlyrs.tar.Z.

Has anyone out there used the capabilities of differential SCSI on the 3B2
Differential SCSI HA?  What I'd like to be able to do is have two identical
3B2/1000 Mod 70's and "share" the same disks (including mirroring).  This way I
would have one machine doing all the work and the other as a "hot standby". 
This way the standby machine would have the latest data on disk and would take
over for the first machine if it crashed.  And to compensate for a disk failure
I would mirror all disks.  Also, I would like to be able to do this with
internal devices and under SVR4.1ES.  Any info on the above appreciated.

Does anyone print remotely using modems? This is done using the -U option
of lpadmin to give the printer a phone number. Whenever I print in batches
as opposed to single files at a time, the last half page of the batch gets
cut off. The printer will simply stop printing halfway through the last
page and act as if there is no more data to print. Why is this happening?
This happens on modems connected to the internal serial port and to an
IPC. How can I make the *entire* batch print?

can't mount a disk formatted with such a file system.

    How would I go about getting a copy of the software driver diskette to fix
this...   Does this mean I have to spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and buy an entire
band new copy of an operating system for my "home computer system".  I think
before this happens, I would go over to a AT&T 386 System V box and mount the
floppy there and convert it!  It would be nice to fix it however....

NCR Reps:
    Is it possible for me to purchase this missing floppy???  Is is possible
for me to give you a credit card number, and then just go FTP the diskette
I am missing???   You would greatly cut down on your software distribution
costs by making stuff like this FTP/uucp able..  I think a number of us here
would find this useful??   BTW: No manuals needed...

Are you running Wollengong TCP/IP dated about 3 years ago. One of the 
thousands of problems that crept in was a memory leak. Eventually the
device driver allocated all of the available k pages and then started
hogging u pages. 

The interesting thing about device driver semantics is that this cannot
happen, wobbly gong found a way!

If you are running current releases of the software most of the bugs
have been cleaned up, and you can expect to see uptimes of better than
3 days :-)

Yes and no.

There is no easy way to get the UNIXpc to recognize the existence
of two floppy disk drives. The software doesn't allow for it and
only one drive select line is used.

But you can hook up two floppy drives and switch between them. I
have both the original 5.25" and a 720K 3.5" drive on grendl. I put
them both in an external drive box and use a toggle switch to
control which one is used. The UNIXpc generates drive select DS0.
I jumpered the two drives to use DS1 and DS2, resp. The switch connects
the DS0 line in the cable to either DS1 or DS2.

This works like a charm except that I can use only one at a time. I cannot
do a direct copy between the two floppies without using an intermediate
copy.

If you do this, you probably want to add some iv format descriptors
for the 3.5" floppy - 720K (9 sector) or 800K (10 sector). I also
added some User Agent menu items to facilitate this.

With this, I can read and write MS-DOS compatible 3.5" floppies. 
Actually, I use this most often for "sneaker-net" transfers with
the Sun workstation that I use at work.

I think that this is the most appropriate group for this type of question.
There is often times discussions of the 6300 here :)

[ stuff deleted about installing norton 5.0 and/or Dos 5.0 ]

I ran Norto4.5 with no problems at all under Dos 3.2, so I don't see why
5.0 would be much different.  My only complaint was that the screen was
often times difficult to see, so I did the following (which might also help
you). . .

Try adding (either at the Dos prompt, or in your autoexec.bat) the
following command:

	MODE BW80

This makes the screen much easier to see on those ugly green screens.

There may also be a switch for the install program which forces the display
mode you need, try "install /b" or "instal /m"

I hope this helps (a little at least)

Sorry if I missed earlier followup on this thread.... I've seen the
same thing.  I only noted the From line being truly fouled up.  In
the 2.1 version of WIN, the sendmail internal ">" is lost on
the From line and the message bombs, which is, arguably, a better
outcome....I proved (at least to my satisfaction) the problem into 
sendmail and as a function of the length (number) of arguments on the 
command line.  The problem still exists in the 5.59 version of sendmail
which comes with WIN 3.2.

A couple of possible work-arounds - a world writable /usr/lib/aliases
file or getting a copy of the sendmail 5.58 (?) port for WIN which
someone (I think at ucsd) did a few years back.  I'd love to
hear a better solution.

have 3.0 (and no diskettes to re-install the old. 

All this verbiage is by way of asking:  is my system not compatible for 5.
0?  Or would an upgrade to Dos 5.0 solve the problem?  CAN I successfully 
install DOS 5.0 on an ATT?  Do I need anything else to make it work?  I know 
it's a dinosaur, but I'm not in the market to replace it now.  Any 
suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
