My modem is a ZyXEL U-1496E, the manual for it gives no indication that it can
be configured to reset when DTR drops, but it's possible that it works - I
haven't tried it. I'm only using /etc/modeminit on boot to initialize the
modems to a known state (for the ZyXEL all it does is reset it), apart from
that I leave the modems alone.

I'm fairly sure the problem I had was with the serial driver being set the
wrong speed, the modem appeared to autobaud to whatever appeared at the serial
port quite happily.

It's quite straightforward. Just get 4 standard serial ports in your
machine, configure them as the unofficial "standard" for the second two (COM3
is 3E8, IRQ4, COM4 is 2E8, IRQ3) and for each pair using the same interrupt
(com1 and com3, com2 and com4) configure one as interrupt driven (using the
/dev/com?l driver) and the other as polled (using the /dev/com?pl driver).
Then connect the terminals via serial cables (you should require a null-modem
adaptor or null-wired cable) and configure /etc/ttys to enable them. That's
all there is to it.

Using some polled ports will have an impact on system performance, using a
couple of ports at 9600 bps via the polled driver will eat quite a bit of
processor time, but on a real 386 you should have no big problems. I've got 3
external ports enabled on this machine, plus the console. com1pr is a 2400
bps modem, com2fr is a V.32bis modem connected at 19200 (the f in the
driver signifies hardware flow control, you can create these devices with
/etc/mkfdev, contact MWC if your version of Coherent doesn't have it), and
com3l is another PC being used as an occasional terminal at 9600 bps.

Since I have installed a new hard disk in my system, and formatted my 
hard disk with DOS 5.0, I am no longer able to use the /bin/dos command.
I get a message something like GREATER THAN 64K SEGMENTS.  I assume this
is because of the DOS 5.0 format of the disk.  I am running version 3.1.0.15k

Is there a newer version of the /bin/dos command that can handle this
file system?  If someone has a fix, could you please e-mail it to me.

Just where do you get off saying this???

If you mean multi-processing as in multiple processors, then no current PC
unix-like OS will do it.

AND IF YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY THAT MY 12-MHZ 286 IS NOT MULTITASKING AT THIS

We are planning on networking for 4.1. Any comments about details about the
 EXACT
form that support will be is extremely premature right now. We should have
more definitive answers on this in a couple of months.

Yes, basically the same tools (32 bit versions) found in 3.x.x are in 4.0

On some machines (I don't know which ones), the interrupts are
"activated" until a polled access is done.  I'm told that DOS is
always pooled, so this hardware difference is overlooked.  My machine
has the same problem, and I just permanently changed it to polling.

Hi, there was one correct solution already in the news.  Most of the times,
polled interrupts are the problem.  If you use /dev/com#pl  instead of
/dev/com#l,  then everything is fine.

It worked very nicely right away with my system.

<sigh>. Can't anybody read any more?

The suggestion was to move the existing newsgroups (such as comp.os.coherent,
comp.os.linux, comp.os.minix) into the comp.unix heirarchy, as fundamentally
these are very unix-ish OSs. The change would be that comp.os.coherent would
become comp.unix.coherent, comp.os.linux would be comp.os.linux, and so on.
So the only change would be to the name.

Well, SCO kind of admits to SCO Xenix 2.2 (I think it's 2.2).  I've got 
a copy with the C compiler and Text stuff if anyone wants to buy it from
me.  SCO wanted a fortune to upgrade to the 386 version - so I got
Coherent!

I hate to say it - but back in the old PDP11 days they had overlays.
And learned to like them.

And we walked 50 miles to school, uphill, and we didn't have shoes then...
8-)

There is some satisfaction in shoehorning the most functionality in to 
the smallest space.  The amazing fact that a PDP11 could multitask
with the same 64k of memory that ran CP/M was amazing to me.

I grew up with PDP11's and love the fact that RT11 can run foreground
and background tasks (up to 15 background tasks) in a machine with only
64kb of real memory is a fact that some people that haven't had to live
with those restrictions don't understand.

Unfortunately, you can't run X in that space, or NFS... Perhaps TCP/IP
though...

Amen, brother!!

I've seen an Apple II+ running 4 tasks - and I've heard of Commie-64s
doing similar things.

Take a look at Forth some day.......

As long as I'm on this thread... is there a decent pd Forth for UNIX
(like Coherent).  And DON'T give me CForth... yech.

How about a FAST (NON-portable!) machine language based Forth?

As someone said, don't forget 386BSD.

P.S.  You canNOT run _any_ real multiprocessing operating system on an
XT.  It can't even be done well on a 286 (witness DesqView and Coherent
3.X).  You need at least a 386sx if you want to do unix in any

Also use ustar under Coherent, which is part of the pax package.
Under Coherent 4.0 tar is ustar and the old V7 tar may be called
with v7tar.

You are rigth, 4.0 comes without TCP/IP and NFS, but some people are
working at it. However, I can't guess when it will be available.
Maybee we get it before 4.1 is ready to ship, but I won't count
on it.
