ISC 3.0 and probably other unices have support for CD-ROM drives.  The
good news is that every CD-ROM around uses the standard ISO file format,
so you can read the files under Unix.  The bad news is that every CD-ROM
around also comes with a unique grotty little program to decode the
contents of the files, so if you can't run it you can't make much sense
out of what's in the files.  With luck, you might coax it to work under
vp/ix or Merge, but it'll be an exercise in frustration.

It's only really free if your time is worth nothing.  In which case, it makes
a lot more sense to spend several hours (more or less, depending on your   
level of expertise, which, if higher than some minimal level, means your
time must certainly be worth something to somebody) compiling and installing
"free" software, than to pay someone else money that you have limited capacity
to generate to do it.  I guess the expenses involved in the case of someone
whose time IS worth something would be the money lost due to time spent on
"free" software.  

No judgements intended here on whose time is or is not worth anything.  
(And apologies for the verbosity of this reply.  I think the caffeine's

Hello,

I am  trying to get xvgr up and running under Dell unix without success.
The following are the errors I am getting which occur at compilation of
"xvgr.c".  The problem seems to be in accessing xview.  The same errors
occur when compiling xvgr version 2.07 or 2.08 . 
I have xview version
3.1 .   Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Date: 18 Aug 92 00:32:15 GMT
Organization: Polstra & Co., Seattle, WA

I'm putting together some hardware that is going to run Esix Unix, and I
have some questions about Ethernet controllers.  According to Esix, the
following cards (among others) are supported:

    3COM 3C503
    3COM 3C507
    Western Digital / SMC 8003
    Western Digital / SMC 8013

1. Which of the above are 16-bit cards?

2. What are the common names (the names seen in advertisements) for the
   Western Digital / SMC products?  I see a lot of ads for:

	Ethercard-Plus 16
	Ethercard Elite Plus 16-bit
        etc.

   Are these the same thing?  Do they correspond to the 8003, the 8013,
   or neither?

3. Any advice about which Ethernet card to choose for best performance?

Thanks in advance.

  Time to clarify, when you changed the disk to SCSI, did you replace
the drive with SCSI or are you still on QIC? I've run all combinations,
including both kinds of disks and tape at the same time, and had no
problems with 2.1. I'm running a server with 2.2 using ESDI drive and
SCSI tape, and that works, too.

  Last question, did this work before? I know that sounds like a dumb
question, but it's not the type of thing you do all the time. At least I
don't, only when I make certain backups.

  Dell support has been quite good for me, did you ask them?

Not quite, either. What Sun does is ship 2 versions of the sendmail
program. There's your standard SunOS sendmail program, which does mostly
local delivery and UUCP as well as to Internet hosts listed in a file
called /usr/lib/mailhosts. It may or may not look up hostnames in YP -
haven't got that figured out yet.

Then there is sendmail.mx on Suns running SunOS 4.x. This is a version
of the sendmail program which does nameserver lookups using the resolver
library and works using MX records. 

Then there is the file sendmail.cf which is a sendmail configuration
file for a dumb client which sends all outbound mail to a smart host.

And there is a file sendmail.cf.main, which is a sendmail configuration
file for said smart host - it has to be tailored to your local needs but
this is mostly ``straightforward'' - if you can call anything related to
a sendmail configuration file straightforward :-).

In order to get a sendmail with DNS on Sun, you move the original
sendmail program aside, then copy sendmail.mx t o sendmail and restore
the permissions.

And now, back to the regular program.

Summary: drops data terminal ready

In my UHC SVR4.0.3.6, ttymon for the uucp port occasionally drops
data terminal ready.  It can only be turned back on by disabling,
then re-enabling ttymon.  cu works normally, so it's not the device driver.
/var/saf/_log shows no errors.

I think it may be related to dropped carriers, other incompleted
uucp transactions, perhaps a limit is exceeded.  My respawn limit is 50,
but there is no evidence of the process dying or being spawned multiple
times.

If you have a fix, please let me know.  The current workaround it to have
cron disable and enable it every hour if there are no lock files.

Another ttymon question:  Is there a way to increase the time
ttymon or uucp pulses data terminal ready off at the completion of
a uucp transaction?  I think it's happening too fast for my Worldblazer
to see, as it sometimes locks up and won't answer.

Also, make sure that DCD is set high all the time. The serial driver does
not respond unless this signal is set.  I used a Gandalf EC2400 as well as
a Microcom QX V.32bis, and both had to have DCD high. If you can not set 
the signal with a configuration switch, connect the modem to a terminal
and issue AT&C0 and save the configuration (AT&W).
