does anyone have a dialer (uucp) for a UDS V.3224 Modem?

Thanks in advance.

$For terminals & printers, I wire 2-3-7 only.  XON-XOFF flow control works
$perfectly well, and there's a lot less to go wrong.

   It does not work perfectly well in all situations.  Here's one,
for example, in which XON-XOFF is not the best choice for an SCO
box.  If you're running WordPerfect on a Wyse 150 terminal with an
enhanced keyboard, running in 8-bit mode, there are two of the
function key combinations (I forget which ones, and which shift
keys are involved) which do not work, because part of the sequence
sent by the terminal is a Ctrl-S or Ctrl-Q with the MSB set.  I was
informed by WP's tech support that this is because the SIO driver,
when set to XON-XOFF, will consider a Ctrl-S or Ctrl-Q with the high
bit set to be the same as a normal Ctrl-S or Ctrl-Q.  Yes, I know,
WP provides a workaround, but it's inelegant, particularly when trying
to convince users that WP for Unix will be familiar because they already
know WP for DOS.  And yes, it's a very specific set of circumstances ...
but then again, Wyse terminals are among the most common, and WP is
among the most common applications, and so this one must bite quite a
number of people using this common app on these common terminals.

Sois it possible to have a / in a filename??

Take a look at /etc/rc2.d/S11uname and the tail end of /etc/rc2.d/S20sysetup
for enlightenment. The -S switch for uname causes it to change the contents of
the utsname structure in the kernel (effectively allowing you to change the
nodename while the system is running). For the specifics of how this is done,
read the manual page for sysi86(). Of course, using a system call to do this
is for wimps -- when a real programmer wants to "shift on the fly", he
scribbles directly on /dev/kmem. :-)

Date: Tue, 6 Oct 1992 11:03:05 GMT

I had posted a brief question about this last night and left out a
lot of detail because I was banging at a 2400 baud modem with a ton
of line noise.

Anyway:  I can (usually) dial out w/this SupraFax V.32.  The line is 
noisy, so it often has trouble connecting, but 2 out of 3 times it
will get it.

Dialing in (from another Suprafax): no luck whatsoever.  Looks like bad 
baud rate, because I'm seeing garbage characters which redisplay whenever
I send a break.
Also I can see activity on my RS232 tester- brief bursts every time the break
is sent.  And, getty is running, so all indications are that everything
is hunky-dory except the speed is wrong.  But, I cycled all the way from
300 to 38,400 and never saw anything but garbage.

Well, the display on the modem says it's connecting at 14.4K.  If thats
what it's trying to do to getty, that would explain the garbage.  So the
manual says that register S23 sets the DTE rate and that it defaults to
103.  But S23 doesn't even show in the at&v dump, and if I display it
explicitly it's always 000 no matter what I try to set it to.

I am confused, perplexed, and probably annoyed :-)

Dear net-people,
the following reduced my sleep last night to three hours:

In dialog text fields of an application we programmed ourselves, the  
characters \|[]{}, when entered via the keyboard, will not appear. These  
keys are accessible on a normal (though German) keyboard via the <Altgr>  
key, which is the only thing special about them. They work fine outside  
odtview, under unix. They work fine, to my surprise, under scoterm, even  
if I use the same font as in our application. If I try xmodmap -pm, the  
<Alt> keys are both defined as modifiers. So they should work ... but they  
don't. In fact, the system behaves, as if the <Altgr> key had not been  
pressed at all. If my modmap was wrong, or there was a mechanical defect  
of the <Altgr> key, the problem should also occurr under scoterm, I think.

Has anyone a suggestion, what to do, to correct this mistake next night ?

I asked in biz.sco.general some time ago for front end menu systems for 
Unix. I received a number of replies, and some people sent me menu systems
they had written, or were using.

None of these systems really took my fancy, so I spent today writing one 
of my own !

It handles a number of nested menus and submenus, and allows all the 
different types of command one might expect. It uses curses, with boxes 
round the menus etc.

I will be making it available for public ftp as

ftp.demon.co.uk:pub/trumphurst/unixmenu.tar.Z

if anyone is interested. 

Source, binary and a sample menu are all included in the tar file.

Things like hooking up terminals seems to be of a "religious choice"

My experiences have been like yours, use what is appropriate for the
specific case.  Terminals normally get XON/XOFF and 3 wire connections,
and printers and modems get hooked up with what they need.  I have
never had any real problems using XON/XOFF, including using performance
monitoring software like UMON386 and MONITOR.

I will sit back now and wait for the "flames" to start rolling in,
because I disturbed someones "the way the world HAS to be"....

This is follow-up on my question: How can my process overwrite the
contents of u_psargs[] in its own user block under SysV, especially
under SCO and Interactive UNIX / 386 ?

Here is my test program. This program overwrites u_psargs[] in the user
structure for (hopefully) the current process. I have learned from
<sys/user.h> in Interactive UNIX/386 that the user block resides at
kernel virtual address 0xE0000000. It seems that the user block resides
at the same virtual kernel address in the SCO UNIX.

So my question has changed and is now: Is this the safe way how		<<<
can I overwrite u_psargs[] in the user block of my own process under	<<<
SCO and Interactive UNIX / 386 ???					<<<

Is it guaranteed that the write() will always write to the user block of
my own process, e.g. that the write() request will be processed by the
driver in the context of my process, e.g. while the user block for my
process is at kernel virtual 0xE0000000???

I am sorry for asking this trivial question, but I am totally naive
SCO and Interactive SysV user with no knowledge of SysV internals.

Thanks in advance,

Eda

And I neglected to mention that if you have Wyse-150s and don't have
hardware handshaking, then you can't use the terminal definition
provided by WordPerfect that puts the terminal into scan code mode,
because when in scan code mode the terminal uses different characters
to do handshaking and Xenix doesn't pay any attention.

I have a 486-33 with SCO UNIX 3.2.4.  This system has been shakey ever since
the install of 3.2.4.  I've re-installed the whole thing at least 3 times, 
all due to different problems.  The system is a network bundle (incl TCP/IP
and NFS which are version 1.2)

Now I'm getting lockups, not panics, the machine will just lock up.  However 
the lockup is not hardware.  Hitting return on any of the console screens will 
move the cursor down the screen, but not give another prompt.  I'd almost
swear the machine was up, but the console was just dead.  That is however not
the case, as all the backgroud deamons which log to files cease at the same
time.

The fact that the console still responds to a <RETURN> by doing a CRLF
suggests to me that the machine is still running and the hardware is not
locked up.

How do I trace this problem further??

What uname command are *you* talking about? Every one that I've come
across, the "-s" switch causes it to display the system name, not
change the nodename. Perhaps you meant the "-S" switch? ;-)

Personally, I dislike the fact that uname takes it upon itself to muck
