Hey, Greg (Gulik), were you ever able to get GCC running on
the 3B2?  I lost my feed for about six weeks, so probably missed

The question was of routing OSI (which I eliminated for brevity).
In order to route OSI, you will need an additional software package that
does 'address resolution', much like a Domain Name Server.  This is variously
called NetBIOS Directory User Agent (NDUA), or NetBIOS Directory Service 
Provider (NDSP).

I am assuming that you are using StarGROUP as TOP/NetBIOS, and not simply
OSI as a transport for 'cu' and 'uucp' or 'rfs'.  You will need to put
the various NSAPS into the router (I have experience with 'cicso').

Hi,
	I was woundering what is the latest version of Unix that will run
    on a 3b2/600.  Dos AT&T Produce System V version 4.X for it. Also does
    anyone know of the price, (Runtime, Developement, Printer, Document,
    NFS, RFS).  And the approx size of a harddrive that would be required.

    (I just picked up a 3b2/600 really cheap, and would like to set it up
    as a News server.)

   Okay, I see lots of atari hardware for sale on atari.8bit, but I have no
idea how much of it actually is sold. At any rate, I will try my luck.
   Yes, I have decided (at long last) that it is time for a more powerful 
system, so to help the cost I will part with my 8-bit.

   FOR SALE:

       Atari 800XL computer w/64K   -   Good condition. Has run perfectly
                                        for many years.

       Atari 1050 disk drive        -   Supports enhanced density, no fancy
                                        upgrades on it.

       Atari 1025 dot matrix printer  - Good condition.

       All cables, cords, and power supplies included. All components in good
       working order and have worked for me for years.

       You make the offer & pay shipping costs, and it can be yours!
       I would prefer to sell the system as a whole, but it is not necessary.
   If you do not need the whole thing, I can understand that, and I will
   consider selling components individually. I also have amassed a whole
   bunch of software, too. I would probably throw that in with a sale also,
   seeing that I wouldn't really need it any more.
       
       I need the money to put towards my next system!
       I will consider all offers! Just name it.

Almost.  It runs and everything, but it mostly still thinks the screen is
only 40 columns wide.  This produces a variety of weird behaviors, like
incoming clear-screen commands clearing only half the screen!

Those people that have been here a while may recall my begging for someone
to fix K-65 so it runs better on the XEP80.  I gave up begging when I found
VT850 - a VT100/VT102 emulator designed with the XEP80 in mind.  I'm on it
right now!  I'd still like to the Kermit-65/XEP80 combination perfected
though, as K-65 is overall a more solid piece of software than VT850 IMO.

So far as I understand things, there is no reasonable way to "speed up"
your modem beyond 300bps.  I believe different frequencies are used for
1200bps (and higher).  So you would have to not only transmit faster, but
also change the audio frequencies to be compatible with any other standard
modem.

Go for it!  It would be great to have one that handles multi-part files,
either the way BART sends them (part aa of zz), or the way everyone else does
(Filename.ext 1/100).  I've seen C source code for some multi-part decoders,
but they're written for Unix, and the actual decoding is done by a pipe to
uudecode (ie: the source code doesn't contain the actual decoding algorithm.)

    Here is the  final version of Col80...

Please don't post binaries here.  This point has been beaten to death
many times in the past; if you post binaries, they end up in the digest,
and digest subscribers end up canceling their subscriptions, because
they don't want to wade through it all.
								   John
    Dunning seems to have disappeared... 

That's not true.  As I've told Itay at least 3 or 4 times in email, I've
been completely snowed under at my "real" job, and haven't had time to
do much other than that lately.  I've just now spent a few hours
untangling the stuff that had accumulated in the new/ subdirectory, and
putting it in what I believe are the right places, so you can stop
worrying, everything is now safely in the archives.

As long as we're on the topic, I might as well say a few words about how
to make everybody's life easier when sticking binaries in the archives.
The best possible submission is one that's collected up in an ARC, with
all its sources, docs etc included, and some kind of blurb or something
describing what it is and where it should go in the archives.  Why?
Well an ARC is relatively compact, and can be examined and manipulated
on a variety of platforms.  That means I can see what's in it, and test
that it's intact, without having to download the thing to my atari.  The
blurb/doc helps a lot, because it gives me a hint about where to put it
in the archives, as well as something to put in the catalog listing.

If you've got a new version, or a bugfix, or something like that, please
say so, so I'll know to update/replace the old version.  If you've got
an intermediate version, say so, so that I can tell it's experimental,
and not delete the good copy.

Obviously those rules don't apply in every single instance; you might
have something that needs to be a disk image, and thus needs to be
packaged as a DCM file or something.  Or it might be too big, so you
have to split it up.  But give it a try.

What, you say, that Dunning character is being a junior fascist again,
and dictating to us what hoops we have to jump through before he'll
deign to put things in the archive for us?  Well, if you choose to look
at it that way, it's up to you.  I submit, though, that there's another
way to look at it.  I've got limited time to devote to this effort, and
the harder you make it for me to figure out what's what, the less
inclined I am to try.  The more you help me out, the better shape the
archive will be in.  Please folks, we're all supposed to be on the same
side here.

   I wouldn't worry too much about it.  I used an sx-212 for years, and
never had a manual for it.  
   The SX-212 is (reasonably) hayes-compatible.  Any "standard" hayes
commands such as ATDT, ATA, ATS0=1,  etc. will work fine. 
 
   What I would recommend (and what I did:) find someone who has a manual
for ANY Hayes-compatible modem, and look at that.  Most of the commands
will work. 
   Also, if you want to know what the lights on the case mean, it's the
same as other external modems.  HS is high-speed (1200 in this case), AA
is auto-answer, CD is carrier detect, OH is off hook, RD and SD are
receive and send data, TR is terminal ready, and MR is modem ready...
   (sorry if that's elementary knowledge, but I would have loved for 
someone to tell me that when I had my SX-212, since it was my first "real"
modem (meaning faster than 300 baud...))

I suppose SCSI/SASI could be done with a bunch of software, but it's kinda
stretching things.  You'd certainly want to hook up the IRQ and burn a new OS.
It would be a challenging hack... a MIO or BB makes a lot more sense if you

I don't think it's a good idea to have a separate binaries group (count me

Ryan; I believe Wooley did a 2nd GTIA with it's own ram. He said it was so
easy that Atari should have thought about doing it. I can't remember many
of the details, but I think he did stuff like had one in displaying 16
lums while the other displayed 16 colors => 256 colors W/O DLI's. But I
don't think many people jumped on the bandwagon so no drawing program or
pictures were ever done on it. I think someone was going to GIF viewer, but
I never heard if it got finished.
Jeff; I started out doing everything on the bus, but then from the surveys
I've seen, only about 40% of us have 800XL's. It's no big thing, every signal
on the bus can be had in the computer & every signal in the computer can
be brought out to the buss. The only thing I'm sort'a worried about is if
we start going to far from the original hardware design we will lose our
ability to understand what each other is talking about. For instance, I think
everyone in the sig can just say, "Yeah, another PIA at $D700, I know how to
work that." without even seeing the schematic. Even something like a PIA
@ $D320 wouldn't be a problem for most people that can read a joystick from
hardware. As long as nobody designs something that goes out of the original
hardware area or needs something like a one of a kind PROM, we're all right.
I've got to admit though, I'm thinking a 34 pin expansion via a $3 disk drive
cable would give me more then enough signals for anything I'd need, & 3 edge
card connectors to boot!

My biggest beef with Kermit-65 is the fact that it's scrolling tends to lose
lines of text when it tries to scroll the screen when the cursor reaches the
bottom.  Could be that I'm using an older v., though.  For VT100 you cant beat
V10^2.  Pretty solid little program aside from a couple of bugs.  I log onto
VAX with it all of the time.

Uncle Fester,

Well, the I think the idea would have to be implemented at the site
where the digest is composed, not by each individual receiver.
I know there are programming languages on this system, but how to write
a program to automatically exclude a binary from an incoming mail file
would be way beyond me.  I don't have the time to research into such a thing.

Don't know who Treebeard is?  OBVIOUSLY not a Tolkien fan!  Hmmph!
