I thought the ultrastore 24F had a WDxxxx compatibility mode that
you could enable so you could boot anything that will work on
a standard PC type controller.  I loaded AT&T sysvr3.2 on a machine
with one once to try it out.  In that mode you are limited to
two drives, but once you are running you can then load the
drivers for non-emulation mode.  However, at the time I didn't
have any r4 driver for it and the machine ended up running DOS.

No, here in St Joe County I've seen several of these large ESIX SVR4 3.0
installations running with the Equinox multiplexers.  These systems handle
a variety of users filing various court documents, accounting like proceedures
and word processing.  Many of the terminals are just that, dumb terminals while
others are actually PCs running, gulp - DOS.

The company who has this contract provides like systems to a good percentage
of the counties around the state, and they all have Telebit modems and 
communicate with each other via dialup UUCP.

We could go back and forth just about forever about installations.  Heck, I
remember doing that with QNX verses Unix (and Xenix) and I don't plan on 
continuing.  The bottom line is that you Fred seem to think that all the large
installations are running SCO which isn't the case.   There are other operating
systems out there that are just as reliable and solid as SCO, if not more.

Oh my gosh -- 43K -- that is very interesting.  Gosh, we (us on the net)
could have passed the bucket and purchased ESIX and made it into our "dream

I'm happy as a clam with Dell.  I have everything I want -- except 4.2.

I would seriously look at Dell.  You get everything you would want,
along with Dos Merge.  ftp access to support services is available
with technical bulletins and updates available on dell1.dell.com.

Upgrade paths are provided with Dell -- with reasonable priced
upgrades (I believe the upgrade from SVR4 3.0 to 4.0 was something
like $100).

Subject: Auto-login from modem conntect dialog
Date: 22 Jan 93 19:35:33 GMT
Organization: Bull HN Information Systems, Inc., Phoenix Product Division

The subject refers to smart modems, like the ZyXel. This modem can decode
selective ringing prior to answering the incoming call by sending RING, or
RING2 to the host. It can also determine if the incoming call is data or
fax by sending different CONNECT messages and can include caller ID info with
the CONNECT.

I have two problems:
 1. I need to set up a Unix system so that an incoming fax call, as determined
    by the CONNECT message, will automatically log in a pre-configured user
    whose .login will start an application to receive the fax.

    I also need to do the same thing based on the selective ring. IOW, if the
    modem said RING2 prior to connect then autologin a different pre-configured
    user.

    Normal data calls get given a normal login.

2.  In any case, _including for a normal data call_, I want to capture the
    caller ID information and make it available to the process after login.

I can see how to do these IF I have the source for login, and perhaps getty.
Someone on comp.bbs commented that it could be done without the source.

How???

Video board. Try putting it in an 8bit slot, checking to see that the
int is disabled, or just borrow another brand and see if that helps. As
a last resort speed up your bus (yes faster).

I had the same problem, solved it by kicking the bus to 12MHz. I do
*not* recommend this. The video card is now in another system where it's
happy, and the bus is back down in speed, working just fine with a
different card.

It could be that the disk controller has gone bad, but I spent several
months finding the video in mine, and it's not something everyone would
ever find unless they were pigheaded and had a lot of replacement parts
to swap in.

	Get your hands on a copy of Richard Stevens book

	"UNIX Network Programming"   Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ

	ISBN:0-13-949876-1	

	It is the absolute bible on this type of stuff. It includes complete

	Good luck.

Any Ideas?

I have a couple of questions for any one who's got the time...

1) mach(1) and arch(1) still return 386/AT and i386 respectively.  Is this a 
generic response for 486 and 386 or does my kernel need to know that I switched
processors on it?

2) Is there a real need to change the kernel or swap parameters for the added
8 meg of memory.  I know the swap area could be increased, but it's hardly
being used now???

3) Could any poorly adjusted BIOS parameters explain the above problem?

4) Anything else a must change for this upgrade?

   I think that the $43K price tag is very misleading.  It is not uncommon for 
someone to purchase a company by agreeing to assume responsibility for its 
debt (that's essentially how Tramiel purchased Atari), and even a quick glance 
shows that they expect the purchaser to be able to promote the product 
sufficiently that the royalties might be in the $1M ballpark within three 
years.  That's not chickenfeed.  While James River may not be famous for its 
computing, it's not a small company.  Actually, I know someone who sold his 
company to James River and did well in doing so.  It is, however, fully 
capable of providing an excellent financial and organizational structure that 
could help ESIX as much as Everex could... perhaps more, since Everex is 
primarily hardware (leaving ESIX as second fiddle) and JR is probably 
accustomed to dealing with each business unit on an individual basis. 

   I think that what I'm getting at is that ESIX is not necessarily dead.  
That's a good thing, since UNIX vendors will have to change their approach to 
competition if they are to fend off the gimmick-oriented "operating systems of 
the future" that crudmeisters like MicroSloshed are going to foist on us soon.  
That means that *IX vendors had better learn how to compete in a fierce market 
full of dumb end users who really do need that "plug and play" that Larry's 
been mentioning.

Hi all,

I'm having trouble running a DOS application under Merge (Dell SVR4 v2.2).

The application is called EMP and is the software that controls a Needham
Electronics EPROM burner.  The problem I have is that the software cannot find
the EPROM burner card in the machine.  I have tried several port base addresses
for the card (280h 290h 390h), all which work fine under native DOS.  Therefore,
I assume I don't have a hardware conflict.  Also, Needham tells me that the
card doesn't do DMA.  BTW, the machine is a Mylex 386-20 with 8MB.

Is there something about DOS Merge that might be causing this trouble?

Any help would be appreciated!   Thanks.....

My Dell SVR4 2.2 system, under X, crashes often with messages that
ldterm/ldtermserver are out of blocks.

From mtune I see that the old STREAMS tunable parameters NBLK4096...NBLK4
are obsolete since data blocks are dynamically allocated in SVR4. But
what is the tumable parameter that describes the total space for data
blocks? Is it STRTHRESH, which in my mtune is now 0x20000?
