Under AT&T 386 Unix SVr3.1, ld(1) has an -z option which says:

	-z Do not bind anything to address zero.  This option will allow

Why? *Most users don't want that*. They want a system they can run
applications on, and networking is still what you do at power lunches.
Most of them aren't computer freaks, and most are buying a system for
their home, even if that's not their primary system, and they want their
primary system to be compatible with that.

That's fine for developers, but who are they going to sell software to?

     I am running Sys V 4.0.3 from Consensys.  I installed the inet package,
but I don't have an ethernet card.  Whenever I booted up I got the message
"error starting network, full message in /tmp/inet.start."  The problem turned
out to be when /etc/inet/rc.inet issued the command:

     /usr/sbin/ifconfig emd0 garage up -trailers

[garage being the name of my computer] It got the error message:

     ifconfig:  ioclt (SIOCGIFFLAGS):  invalid argument

     I'm no expert on networking, and I haven't yet tracked down a copy of
the Network User's and Administrators guide, but it made sense to me that
ifconfig might be attempting to push a nonexisting module in an ioctl call.
At any rate, some commands such as talk didn't work properly, so I had to
change my /etc/hosts file from

     127.0.0.1        localhost
     192.9.200.1      garage

to

     127.0.0.1        garage localhost

which I'm sure was a bad thing to do.
     Now I'm trying to get a slip connection to another SVR4 box with the
same problem.  The computer that is dialed into seems to work fine.  If
I ping the other computer when it has "slattached" to me, I see the Tx
light going off as it should.  The other computer, however, never transmits
anything.  This makes sense since, of course, it has no way of
knowing what its supposed IP address is.  If the slattaching computer
does not have its node name on the localhost line, slattach gives more
ioctl errors.
     I think the problem is with ifconfig.  I can't even do an ifconfig -a
to see how things are configured without getting an ioctl error.  I would
appreciate any advice as to how to solve this problem.

Thank you,

Nothing short of reboot will clear the process. :(

Yes, you are missing something. :) The non-cacheing boards also have
ONBOARD CPUs which relieve the system CPU. In fact, that's another point
in favor ov the Adaptec and BusTek boards--LOWER OVERHEAD. The DPT board
shows (using u386mon, et. al.) more rather than less overhead than the
Adaptec or BusTek boards.

Then why would these people want the extra expense and bloat of NT or
OS/2? Sounds like you're describing a scenario (one which I agree will
be common) in which there's very little reason to upgrade to *anything*
bigger than DOS5+WIN3.1.

Few people are going to have home machines which will have the
horsepower necessary to run OS/2 or UNIX or NT. If they truly want a
totally compatible system at work, they'll choose the lowest common
denominator and use DOS5 at work too. I suspect, that beyond the hype,
Microsoft will have a difficult sell to convince people that DOS5
isn't enough for routine applications. Beyond the technoweenies and
"power-users", I wonder just how strong is the demand for NT and OS/2.
Let alone UNIX.

Well, right now not even running SVR4, because amazing new 486 board

power supply) reboots when installing it. (Thanks to those who replied

Not that I've heard of. I spoke with a Dell person about a
"sidewaysgrade" to Dell SVR4, but the person I was dealing with left the
company and I never could find anybody else there to talk to.

If Dell (Esix? UHC? Consensys?) is listening: all I need is a boot disk, 
photocopied release notes, and a tape.  You don't have to pay the AT&T 
license fee again, because Intel already paid it. Call me! Let's make a 
deal!

Nope.

I presume we'll be offered Solaris, but at what price? And I'm looking

Bottom line: just hanging around and waiting.  Good luck to all the

Apart from the extra performance of NT or OS/2 (or UNIX lite) running their
applications.  I don't know how much you've used Windoze, but it really is
a monstrous CPU hog. For all its problems, OS/2 *is* quite a capable operating
system, and (though this is faint praise) it kicks butt over regular Windows
plus DOS 5.anything.

> Few people are going to have home machines which will have the

You can buy a system that will run OS/2 running Windows or DOS apps faster
than Windows or DOS for not much (if any) over the price of a good Windows
based machine. And that includes the cost of OS/2. 

I don't know if NT will be a contender, but OS/2 (much as I hate to admit it)
already is. If UNIX Lite doesn't target OS/2 on price, it's dead. And I
really hate OS/2's DOS derived API.

the boards sold so some one must have it running.  I have SCO
UNIX/XENIX but they are of little use (I guess?).
 
I called Boca.  They have not returned my call (yet).  I called
their support BBS but only got the same SCO drivers.  

If you have drivers or know how to make these boards work with 
Interactive, please drop me a message.  Is there an archive

Finally...  What about FAS?  It looks as though I can use this

Is this what I want?

This is very interesting and somewhat un-believable.  The i/o throughput
across the i/o bus is going to be much slower than the i/o throughput 
across the memory bus, so there should be a perceivable difference in
performance if the UNIX buffer cache is decreased to almost nothing.
This is especially so if there are many small writes/reads to the disk rather
than many large writes/reads since the small i/o operations would be 
handled directly by the kernel buffer cache.

	Pete, add on to OS/2 or Windows/NT the cost of TCP/IP, unlimited
	users and a heavy duty compiler system with development tools.
	When all is said and done I think 4.2+development 2-user will
	cost the same as a similar OS/2 or Win setup. Also, 2-user
	under 4.2 is console+serial port, uucp excluded if I remember
	correctly. i.e. the VT's can have different users logged in but
	it still counts as only 1 user and UUCP doesn't count as a user.

	At least wait to see what the ACTUAL cost is, the 2-user 4.2 will
	still have twice as many users able to log in as OS/2 or WIN/NT... B^).

I have some kind of puzzle. 

I am running ISC 3.0, with TCP/IP 1.3 and NFS 2.2 installed.

My machine name is "wariat"; I do have an Ethernet interface (wd0)
and SL/IP interfaces (sl0) configured. 
My hosts file says :

127.1	localhost local
192.147.147.1	wariat wariat.org
192.147.147.17 wariatlo 
192.147.147.18 maly maly.wariat.org
192.147.147.19 gazpacho.wariat.org gazpacho
192.147.147.20 brauhaus.wariat.org


Now, if I am assigning in /etc/netd.cf  to wd0 name wariat,
everything is OK.  if I will swap _names_ - and assign name 
wariat to slip interface, and wariatlo to ethernet interface, 
lockd is complaining: 

lockd: udp_connect create to wariat failed
lockd: call_udp: removing cached entry
lockd: stat_mon: RPC: Port mapper failure


But NFS still works...    I am at lost.  Why lockd require from me
to use machine name on ethernet interface ??? 

An pointer to description, or hints are welcome. Yes, I am reading
TFM but I am confused. 

Replies (especially flames :-) by e-mail, please...
