I've talked with two X term companies (NCD and Tektronix) and their terminals
have parallel printer ports.  I'll be receiving some info from them
shortly as to how this is handled over TCP/IP.

If anyone else knows how to do it, I'd greatly appreciate some advice!

UUCP has a CALLBACK feature, but I think you are looking more at remote login.
You might want to try using "ct", if remote login is what you are looking for.

I'm (still) running ODT 1.1 and I used to be able to use "cc -dos ..."
to compile and link DOS programs.  Now I get

    Command line fatal error D1001 : could not execute '/bin/masm'

Attempting to execute masm directly:

Both cc (except for "-dos") and pkzip.exe appear to work fine (as to the other
DOS programs I have tried).  I used to be able to use "cc -dos", and it worked
fine.

What kinds of things could I have done to make this not work?  Any hints?

SCO nor Locus will admit that this can happen.  "Noone" has this
problem.  So, I am forwarding this problem to a higher level...

I have ODT 2.0 installed on a DEC 433MP (currently without MPX 
being installed).  We are actively networked with TCP and PCI and 
are contemplating the NETCON Novell clone under SCO UNIX.

When I logged in today using PCI, I tried to run a command which 
requires a proper user ID.  It failed.  I then did a "who" 
command and it reported that I was "sue" logged onto ttyp1....

Since I had logged in as "lee", this is a bit of a puzzle.

I normally log in using JSB Multiview and this was the case this 
time as well.  However, logging in using the raw "em2" command 
from a DOS prompt results in the very same "who" strangeness.

This has happened before and went away after I removed Lan 
Manager from the system.  I thought that had solved the problem.  
It is now back again.  At least this time, it comes back with a 
user name that is actually on the system.  Before, it would come 
back with nonsense names which were not even real users.

I'd really like to know what is going on here.

Subject: Remote mounting a CD-ROM drive?
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 1992 20:46:15 GMT
Organization: Information Data Management

	We have a 486 running the ODT-2.0 development system here with a mounted
CD-ROM drive (High Sierra file system).  For some reason, no other system
in our network can remote mount (NFS) the High Sierra file system.  All the
other file systems on this machine can be remote mounted just fine.  Thus, I
don't think its a problem with the NFS configuration.

	We also have an HP workstation with a CD-ROM drive on it.  NFS on all
of our systems (SCO and HPUX) has no problem remote mounting its High Sierra
file system.

	Is this a design/coding flaw in SCO 3.2v4 or ODT-2.0 ??

	Has anyone out there succesfully remote mounted an SCO HS file system
	through NFS ??

If we can't get SCO to allow remote mounting, we'll just have to make the CD-ROM
a second HS disk on the HP workstation.

As a side opinion:

	I have always found networking much more complete and easier to
	configure/use under HP-UX than under SCO.

	Any Help or Info out there?

I have a very specific need.

I would like to be able to copy reads and writes inside a disk
driver to user memory from the kernels request.

The kernel sends a buffer with its address somewhere in the structure
(bp->) (from the device drivers manual).

the routine paddr(bp) returns the address of the buffer

I am confused by all this phyical to virtual conversion stuff +
the rules about what memory is user and what is kernel.

If it is not possible to copy the contents of this buffer to a user
memory buffer I would be happy to copy it to a static buffer in the
dirver (kernel memory).	 This is an academic exorcise to learn more
about device drivers. (sounds sadistic doesn't it)

If any of you device driver wizards under sco has a clean example could
you please send it to me.

I can think of three places to check.

1. /etc/default/lpd (BANNERS=1 is correct)
2. /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/printers/<printername>/configuration
    should have a line 'Banner: on:Always'
3. /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces<printername> is the interface program
    It should be one that actually prints banners.

The GCC compiler is just that - the compiler only. It doesn't include
libraries or header files. You need to purchase the devsys to get those
files, although part of the requirements are distributed on your OS

We have recently been doing some testing for several clients
about running SCO Xenix 386 v2.3.4 on various machines.
I know that most of the major names have been listed in the SCO
compatability list, but...  What about all the rest of the machines
that seem to be popping up everywhere?

We have seen problems on several machines (486/33 & 486/50) where it
has problems booting the N1 diskette.  Comes up with a string of "EEEE"'s.
The number of EEE's will vary. Sometimes it will come to the Boot:
prompt and many times it will not???

The machines have AMI BIOS, and various controllers.  One has an
Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller, and the other has one of the multi-i/o
IDE controller boards.

We are trying to determine what makes a system able to run SCO Xenix
and what constitutes a problem area.

Thanks for any input and assistance.  If interested I will post the
results of any findings.

When we tried to upgrade to 2.0 from 1.1, we found out that the
intelligent upgrade cound not handle all of the various drivers
that were installed in the kernel.  We had: ethernet, digiboard,
omnipage, and a bunch of other stuff.  We moved important info
over to the second drive and Installed ODT 2.0 onto the first
drive as a new install.  We then could just remount the other
partitions on the second drive.  We had a show the next day 
and were quite amazed how smoothly everything went!
