I know ESIX committed early on to Solaris, but is re-evaluating the
situation. The company does not want to plunge into both Solaris and
R4.2, but wants to make sure it chooses what will be the best long-term
path.  As a source licencee of Solaris, ESIX would not be restricted by
some of the claims presently made about it (ie, distribution only on CD-ROM).
But there appear to be many desirable features in 4.2 which Solaris
won't have (ie, swictable Motif and OL look-and-feel).

Are there any comments on the net, based on the available knowledge,
about the plusses and minuses of Solaris 2.0 vs. System V R4.2, from the
viewpoint of a poptential source licensee?

Where are they both in regard to Intel multiprocessing support?

Will they be able to run each other's binaries? How about ODT apps??

How good is their support for non-GUI (eg, Wyse 60) environments?

And will Solaris have the level of SCO support now in 4.0.4?

Just how much will the two packages differ internally, and from the
user's and administrator's viewpoints?

Will UNIX International be endorsing both as a long-term migration
strategy, or only one?

All the sources I have seen use flock calls that I believe are
unsupported under System V (or have different function codes).

Is anyone running POP under System V ?

Except that the fan is way too noisy for me to sleep through it. Is there
any *safe* way to cut the noise? Do the thermostatic silencers cut the
noise while keeping everything as cool as it should be? 
I have never liked the idea of trusting a multi-K$ machine to a
third-party gadget.

Will turning the machine on and off morning and night harm the machine
at all? (i.e. wear out the HD motor faster?)

Leaving the machine on all the time gives you the opportunity to do expensive

Lucky you.  Some of aren't so fortunate to 10 or 15 parallel ports
hanging off of a machine.

I have one machine that has an HP LJ+, HP IID, IBM Laser (forgot the
model), two HP rugged Writers as dedicated printer ports, and about 4
Okidata 182s hanging off PC's as attached printers,  and 5 or 6 182's
hanging off dual protocol terminals that act as local
printers for the SCO system, or screen print for the mainframe.  (I
think one of the above may have a mainframe polled address, but I don't
fool with that).  And there is one more PC acting as a smart terminal
that also has an IBM laser on that.

I've had some problems with some serial interfaces, but all you have to
do is monitor the lines.  Then you find out that hardware handshaking
can be on different lines even from printers that outwardly appear the
same (but have different serial interfaces internally).

I'd hate to think how slow a system could be with about a 1/2 dozen
parallel ports hanging off of it.    A good intelligent serial board
really works nice.

Oh, and the IID also has a smart serial switch, as two of the PC
terminal emulators have a parallel to serial conversion on them so the
local 123 program can use the laser printer.   By the end of next week
the IID will be shared with the SCO system and 3 PC's.

Gives a total of about 15 printer and 20 terminals - but I may have
missed counting something.

Serial isn't THAT hard to do.

Organization: University of Wisconsin - Madison
Originator: kasab@luther.che.wisc.edu

I'm not completely convinced that this is the best forum for my question,
but I think it's the best place to start.  Here goes:

I have a ZEOS 486/33 running DELL's SVr4 (A _fine_ product, I might add :),
and I currently have a 2400 bps modem on loan from my department at school.
I am interested in purchasing a 14.4 kbps modem, since the main computing
center for the College of Engineering here is going to upgrade to 14.4 kbps
modems at the end of the summer, and the thought of SLIP connections to
campus from home is mighty appealing.  (Actually, just a faster "boring"
connection would be great, too. :)

So, my question is, is there a certain make or model of external, 14.4
kbps modem that you would recommend?  Some criteria that I should add are
the following:  I would like to be able to make 9600 and 2400 bps
connections as well, since 14.4 kbps modems aren't exactly widespread;
the cost should be low--preferably under $500; it should preferably be
easy to set up (but since I have the basics down, how hard can it be?);
and reliable.  I have looked through _Computer Shopper_, and found a
bunch of names, but I don't recognize many of them, and I was hoping that
maybe the Collective Experience of the Net would help me out.

Please e-mail replies, suggestions, etc., and if there is sufficient
interest, I'll post a summary of types.

Thank you very much,
JK

Hey, come on now, people.  I've had a few interactions with Dell
support and I've received nothing but prompt, knowledgeable, and
helpful responses.  And I don't even own any Dell products (yet).

Frankly, I can understand Donn's problem with this guy.  I think a
rather obvious attempt to blackmail a vendor with bad net.publicity
was met with, if perhaps a bit too much strength, an appropriate
response.  Having had to deal with the occasional demanding (l)user, I
can understand exactly the kind of frustration that regular support
troops are left feeling when dealing with someone who wants things to
work THEIR way, and no other answer is acceptable.

[Note that I do NOT usually do support -- for those who missed it,
neither does Donn.]

  You left out the smiley in the part about OL looking better.
Regardless of my personal preference, I have to admit there's a strong

should qualify the above paragraph as opinion, since OL vs. MOTIF is
a reasonably close race.

  Like Bush vs Clinton, most users think there must be something better.

  There's a public domain version floating around, or maybe you can get
something off the Dell archives, SLIP is part of their V.4.
