SCO UNIX 3.2v4 supports DOS5.0 with large/multiple DOS5.0 partitions.

I was wondering if anyone out there could help me locate a communications
program for UNIX system V (AT&T, rel. 3.2.2) preferably public-domain or
"shareware" if such things exist for UNIX.  I'd also like pointers to 
Zmodem or other such protocols.  At work, we only have an old version of
Kermit, and we are needing something a little more powerful.  I had heard
of Pcomm (I think it was) for UNIX, but have been unable to locate it.  
We also have a package called M-link, but it doesn't serve our purposes...

Any info would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

(Please e-mail the below internet address, thanks.)

I suspect you have a 1742a (with floppy) and not a 1740 (no floppy).

ISC 3.0 has a know problem with 1742's because they didn't exist when
they wrote the "enhanced mode" driver.  The floppy portion is confusing
the driver.  That is why it is complaining about interrupt 6 when you
have it set to 11.

I believe the fixdisk 3 for 3.0, solved this problem.  However, they are
now shipping 3.01 ($95 from 3.0, or free in you bought 3.0 "recently".)

There would be gnashing of teeth and untold horror out in generic sysv land if

The hardware: Everex MP.
The software: SCO Unix 3.2.4, SCO TCP/IP 1.1.3, SCO TCP/IP Maint. Supp.

When any attempt is made to load MPX 2.0, it fails immediately after it
has the serial number and activation key information giving a message
concerning serialisation failure. So far (this is dragging on and on)
support people and SCO have come up with:
1) Trying other serial number/activation keys.
	(Trying anything other than a valid MPX combination causes custom
	to ask you to try again, as per the manual.)
2) Reload the link kit.
	(We've done a complete reload of the O/S.)
3) Reserialise the O/S with /etc/brand.
	(Done it: makes no difference.)
4) "Check sergen".

This last remaining SCO suggestion is less than comprehensive, since they
haven't said how to check it or what to check it for. After a failed MPX
installation, /etc/sergen is certainly there, but whether it is the program
it should be, how to run it or even what it should checksum to are as
yet unknown.

Anyone with any experience with loading MPX, especially on an Everex MP
and even more especially if you have seen this problem, please tell us
(including SCO!) what the problem is.

  There is a lot of free documentation on how to do FSS stuff on uunet
in the SCO section. I'm told that this applies *mostly* to the V.4 FSS
interface. The opinion is that there's some stuff in the V.4 manual set,
because I think I hit it looking for something else. I admit I have no
idea why this is not in V.4 offerings, since small development teams
have been able to make it work in various free unix-like o/s's.

UNIX is a registered trademark of either AT&T or USL.

That could easily be a defect in the mainboard design, that causes two
or more DMA channels running at the same time to foul up the
transfers. Solution: buy a quality board or try diddling DMAEXCL.

No, they listen.  They read the net, and many of the complaints about SCO
products have been addressed because of the complaints on USENET, I believe.

But, you must realise that a decent support department costs lots of money
to run, and they have to re-coup costs somehow.  I don't think it can
be argued that SCO have the best support of any Intel based UNIX vendor.

Anyone that has worked with them would agree!

Organization: Grebyn Timesharing
Distribution: usa
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1992 14:45:07 GMT


I've been helping an associate of mine with a utility that runs under
Interactive Unix 3.0, which must spawn a DOS utility to do part of the
work.  This DOS utility has no need for user interaction, it's purely
batch.  It must run periodically in the background, to check for
events in the Netware system, which is mounted via NFS.  It's not
feasible to replace this DOS utility with a Unix one.

The problem is that VPIX seems to require some sort of keyboard
device, and it's very particular.  When spawned with stdin and stdout
to a pipe or pty, it prints a message like "Unable to set keyboard
mode, exiting".  Yet I know VPIX can use a pty somehow, since it works
okay in an xpcterm, and across an rlogin.  What's the secret here?

We're currently working around by opening an unused vt, which vpix is
happy with.  Yet nothing we try prevents the output from this vpix
session from coming up on the screen.  It seems like a bug in the vt
device, since it doesn't switch screens, and vpix is definitely
writing to a different vt device than the frontmost, yet vpix output
is written to the current screen.

I know nothing about DELL but the usual way to compile gnuplot

make x11
or maybe something like
make 386ix_x11

But make gnuplot_x11 doesn't make sense as gnuplot_x11 is only a
backend for X. You need gnuplot itself...

I found Allied Telesys (look for their ads in the trade rags) to be very
helpful when i was in a similar situation.  I am doing a multibuilding
mining operation in Virginia with LanTastic.  It has been strongly
recommended that I hire a fiber contractor, and after seeing that the
tools to install the connectors can cost $1500, I agree.  I was
surprised that the overall cost was not too bad - sure cheaper then all
the ground loop blowouts and lightning downtime you'd get otherwise.
BTW, we also found a nice Infrared link for distances up to 1000 meters
(I think).  I can't remember the name but EMAil me if you need it - it
is $4500 per end, which may be too much!

There is another, fairly recent, alternative.

A number of tape drive companies (Archive, Tandberg, Sankyo) have come
out with drives which will support the 3M "Magnus" QIC cartridge. These
will store about 1.3GB on a QIC tape, and are reported to have faster
data-transfer rates than DATs. They're also considerably cheaper than DATs.
(Well, the drives are. The 1.3GB media is a bit more expensive than DATs).

One more point in ther favour is that they can read all the smaller QIC
formats (and write them all except the 60MB). This is an advantage
because it gives the ability to back up large amounts of data, while
allowing you to interchange tapes with the large installed base of people
who already have QIC drives. I don't know of a single vendor who ships
their applications software on DATs (Dell ships their OS on it), but
many vendors can ship on QIC carts. Some, like Corel, *only* ship on QIC.

  They have always accepted questions by mail from me, even from my home
machine. I doubt that I'm so influential that they are giving me special
service, at least not a home, where I spend minimal $$.

    I admit that when I was in school I wrote COBOL. But I didn't compile.
