      The AT bus is the same thing as the ISA bus, nowadays. Back in
8-bit times, AT bus referred to the 16-bit version of this old doodah,
but the narrower one should be pretty much discontinued by now. EISA is
not commonly seen; if it is seen, it's in larger server-oriented things,
mostly.

      From what I've read in comp.os.linux and c.o.l.announce, you
should be able to get it running on your machine without much problems;
but then, I'm a UNIX-illiterate DOS weirdo, so I won't pay any
damages...

I believe that you should be able to.  You'd need to have null modem cables
attached between the terminals and the serial ports.  Likewise, you'd have
to turn on the getty for the com ports at the speed of the terminal.

I currently have a dumb terminal (wyse) attached to my SVR4 system in
this manner, and it works with very little problems (only one I really
run into is if I power up the terminal before powering up/booting my
DTK 80486-25 mhz machine, that has a serial card with two 16550AFN chips).

I'm going to pull off the SVR4 system probably next month, and replace it
on my DTK system with Linux.  All I'm waiting for is a reply about the
extended file structure being able to handle a file system of greater than
512 MB in size on an ESDI drive...

Greetings,

	My system is an IBM PS/1.  My configuration is this:

	486DX-33MHz
	8 Mbyte RAM
	211 Mbyte hard drive

	I believe it is wrapped around an AT bus.  (What machines have
ISA, or EISA?)  So basically, I want to know if I can make linux work
on my system, and how much work is involved.

Well, all you really need is the correct lines (clocks & ?) in your
Xconfig.. the easiest way to get your Xconfig properly set up being to
get the Xconfig from faith's directory on his anonymous ftp server.
(can't remember the name off-hand, but it's in the Linux FAQ)

Subject: More on dumb terminals
Summary: Here is the solution to my problem
Keywords: Response given
Organization: University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1993 20:43:23 GMT

	I was asked to give a summary of the responses I recieved about 
connecting dumb terminals to my linux machine.

	The first step is to edit the /etc/inittab file. It contains a list of
the various places where input can come from. There is also a line or two
explaining what is needed and the order. There are two lines near the bottom
that are commented that show how to add terminals and modems. Here is an 
example of what I'm talking about...

ttys1:wyse50:/etc/getty 19200 ttys1

	This says I am using COM1, emulating a Wyse 50 terminal, and I am using
getty to connect at 19200 baud to COM1. I'm not sure how to hook up a modem,
but there is a line with a -m in it (I assume that means modem) in the file.

	I am using two terminals. One is on COM1 and the other is on COM2. The
ttys I use are ttys1 and ttys2. I was told by one person to use 0 and 1, but
since 1 and 2 work I figure that was the way to go.

	Next you will have to get a termcap file. Computer services here have
one that apparently has no copyright attached to it (so computer services says)
so I grabbed that one and appended it to the termcap that came with linux. The
location of termcap is in /etc/termcap. There is (I understand) a termcap that
is included with emacs. If you can't find one I would suggest talking with
computer services at some site that runs UNIX to see if they can let you have
a copy.

	My brother (the hardware guy) says that the cables he made have 
transmit and recieve crossed and ground going straight through. Although your
terminals may be wired up differently than ours...

	You may also need to rename your old inittab file. The system I have
doesn't like changes to certain files. Renaming it stops the system from 
removing the new file.

	After all this you just reboot your computer and hope for the best 8-)

				Later

does this machine have the IBM MCA architecture?  if so, you're out of
luck, because Linux cant run on machines with MCA architecture...
If your machine doesnt have MCA, then you can run Linux just fine.  =)

About stuffed toys ...

I have two office bears. One is public and wears 
business clothes (he has his own briefcase with correct
sized contents). The other bear is a tiny one I take out
when I need comforting (with office door closed).

I have a home bear for sleeping with but now I have cats
that snuggle up in the night. 

I used to feel uncomfortable with using stuffed toys but
I am learning that it is ok to hold a stuffed toy for
comfort, even with other people around. I don't need
to judge things like that as "abnormal" or "silly".
It feels good and it is non-destructive. If I have a choice
between cutting and holding a stuffed toy, the toy wins
hands down.

Hi, I've been reading this group for months. Sometimes
   I just lose it. It all seems so familiar. I did want to 
   ask though, If not remembering you childhood at all is
   common. I've four or five memories, but that's it. I told my
   mother about this and got a weird look. Not in connection with 
   being molested of course. It would be considered tacky to mention
   that. 

   Is it common to place yourself in relationships that make you 
   want to scream? 

   Is it common to shoot yourself in the foot (not literally of course!)
   in alot of different ways?

   I was molested for 12 years (that I know of!) by my brother. 
   I told my mother (she wanted pictures)

   I used to think that it wasn't screwing me up.
   THEN I realized that I was thinking it 4 or 5
   times a day (or more). I think you can really
   fuck yourself up over this. It's with me all the time. 

   I went to a therapist back in '86 who said I have PTSD,
   now I'm with this guy 4 YRS (off & on & of & on etc..)
   who's a vietnam vet, also w/PTSD. What a mess!


   One last thing, I have a nine year old daughter, possibly my best
   friend!, I told her everything. We talk about everything from sex
   to safe sex to aids to hockey to what boys will say to get in your
   pants. We love hockey! 

   My mother was appalled! (how tacky of me), the idea that childhood
   should be this fostered state of innocent bliss by people who can't
   protect you is ludicrous. My mother saw only she wanted to see. She 
   walked in one time and caught my brother, and said "what are you
   doing!?" and he said he was helping me clean my room. And then
   she ..... left. 

   My daughter knows what people will do, and she knows it's them
   and not her who has a problem. And she knows not to put herself 
   a situation where someone can hurt her. She also has a tendency to speak
   her mind. And if all else fails she has me. And I would literally kill
   anyone who hurt her. Anyone else deal with this and their kids?
  
   My biggest fear was that the same thing would happen to her.

   That's it for now.....maggie

   You know that Beatles song right?  Well, it's my birthday.  January 7.
   I feel older than ever (makes sense) but so young in some ways.  I have
   planned a non-birthday, except that it makes me angry that I can't celebrate
   my life by recognizing this day.  I want to, but I'm not sure how.  I don't
   want a party, those of you who read my last post know I'd be uncomfortable.

I'm sorry, I don't want to intrude, but I would like to ask a question
about birthdays. How do people celebrate them? Are parties normal? I
know people give presents, but what people? And what's a non-birthday?
I'm sorry, these questions must be very stupid.

  No.  Don't do that.

  What you wrote was very strong and powerful.  To be able to dive
into your melancholy, your appacolyptic ennui and share it so vividly
with others is a fabulous gift and a very empowering thing.  Do
not, please oh Goddess, please do not give it up like some unwanted
thing.

  Pain dwells and lingers, and it's sometimes hard to understand whether
it's a part of yourself or of something else, whether it's something you've
created for yourself or if it was something that was truely given.  The
past fades and mingles until even events a half-hour old don't make sense
anymore.  But the pain is definitely there, and it doesn't fade.

  You are a very special person to be able to stare at that darkness and
embrace it, to hold it up for everyone to recognise in themselves.

  Please.  Please, do not deny your words.  They were wonderful.  It
doesn't matter if they helped you or me or anyone else, they just were
wonderful by themselves.  They were honest.  We need honesty.

  P.S., I like your new name.  Mine means "twilight," but please don't
pass that around too much (I think we've met before.)

hi.  I know I wrote about this recently, but I haven't gotten any responses
and I would really like some.

I am thinking of starting to tell more people that I am multiple and I would
like some hints as to go about it.  Anyone have any good brief, non-threatening
summeries to explain to totally clueless folks what exactly 'multiplicity' is?

I think that is what I am the most stuck.   I am getting comfortable with
people knowing that I'm multiple, but I don't know a good way to explain it
to them -- and I know some folks are going to be scared.  For a long time,
Multiple Personality Disorder, meant to me, a person who had a 'good' person
who was normal and nice, if a bit weak and helpless and a 'bad' person who
killed people.

and well, that just aint what it is folks -- none of us are particularly
evil, although one of us does more tend to hurting people than the rest of
us -- but she has agreed to abide by stuff that the rest of us agree to and
wouldn't do anythign that would put us in danger -- like phsycailly hurting
someone would.

but I don't know how to explain it but I want to be able to, so as
to reassure folks.

any help, please?  respond on the list or privately...

I would add to this list (0) minimizing the further victimization of
the kids.  All too often the remaining family is severly affected
economically by the loss of the primary wage earner.  This can be
compounded by siblings and others blaiming the victim for the lost
income.

>Do the laws include a mechanism for the rehabilitation of the perps?

To my knowledge, the laws don't cover this directly.  However, some
judges are taking more enlightened positions.  Here in California, a
study has shown a recidivism rate of less than 10% for perps
sucessfully completing a particular treatment program.  So, behaviour
*can* be changed.  (Note that this is for non-fixated perps.)

(Yes, there are also some CA judges who are too lenient.  Personally,
I favor long, heavy duty suspended sentences, with some jail time up
front and mandated treatment for the perps who show a willingness to
reform.  Get them working so they can pay for the victims recovery
costs!)
