That greatly depends on what you want (i.e., the speed and type
of the connection.) Using serial modems, 'SLIP' is the most popular
method to connect to the net. Speeds range from 9600-38.4kbps,
and the cost is around $200 a month depending on your internet
provider. You'ld also need the appropriate software for this
(inet packages for unix, plus the SLIP, which is actually free.
DOS and OS/2 users probably need some sort of a TCP/IP package.
I'd say they're around $150-$250.) Add whatever it will cost
to have a dedicated phone line.

More dedicated lines are, of course, more expensive. Companies
like UUNET have 56.4kbps leased lines available... it may cost
around $1000 to set it up, and several hundred a month to run.
Then there are T1/T3 lines. I think those cost about $3000 to
set up and somewhere around $1000/month to run. For uunet, you
can ftp their rates and policy from 'ftp.uu.net.' I'm not
associated to uunet in any way, it's just that that's about
the only company I'm vaguely familiar with.

Subject: Need help attaching to IPC message queue from kernel driver
Date: 19 Nov 92 18:12:49 GMT
Organization: Hughes Aircraft Company, Fullerton, CA

Hello,

Here's my problem.  I have a process which creates an IPC message queue 
which it will then use to send and receive messages to/from other processes.
It also needs to communicate with a kernel level device driver which is 
used to communicate with another system (via backplane shared memory). 
I can send data to the driver via an ioctl (I don't want the driver 
reading the message queue) but I can't get the driver to attach to the 
message queue set up by the main process to send anything back.  I use the
same key in the driver as I did in the main process (which set up the queue) 
but the driver gets a 0 back from msgget().  According to ipcs, message queue
0 is owned by root.  When the driver then attempts to send to queue 0
with msgsnd, I get an error.  At this point I don't know which error I'm 
getting but I've looked at the possible errors and I wouldn't know how
to solve any of them.  I should point out that this works ok when I send
to another user process as opposed to a kernel driver.  

My system consists of:
HP 9000/300 SPU running HP-UX 7.05 (ultimate target is 9000/7xx on 9.0)
Note that I'm only using the board not a full HP workstation.  We have our
own box which has some other processors in it but they do not affect 
the operation of the HP.  


Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

This means simply that talkd on the remote machine did a
gethostbyaddr() on your machine's address and got a failure indication.

Either the remote machine is broken somehow or whatever nameserver is
responsible for the relevant .in-addr.arpa zone is misbehaving, or
(worst case) hasn't been set up.

> If so, how can this situation be circumvented?

The right way to fix it is to fix whatever's wrong.  A workable
substitute is to fix talkd so that if gethostbyaddr() fails, it prints
the numeric address instead (and in parallel, fix talk to accept
numeric addresses).  This is what I've done, and sometimes when the net
is flaking out (and thereby breaking the DNS) it's proven useful.

No, it isn't.  Suggest you refer to previous issues, about 4-6 weeks ago

The bottom line is, you won't be an 'expert', you'll be discovered for the
charlatan you are, you'll be embarrassed, and you won't get the job, and
you'll have wasted the interviewers time, and you'll have insulted all the
people who really are 'experts', whatever the definition.  You either know

If something can be made simple or powerful, it should be made simple,
for simple users, and powerful for powerful users.  There is no reason
the same thing can't be done in two (three, four, five) different ways.
Installation can be simple for those with simple needs, and highly

there.

[Stuff I can't answer deleted.]

In the editor "ed", if you want to display all lines that contain a particular
"regular expression" (re), you would enter this command:

  g/regular expression/p

where
    "g" means "global", 
    "/regular expression/" is the thing you want to see the occurrences of
    "p" means "print".

Now mentally abbreviate "/regular expression/" as "re" and voila!, grep.

I do know that it happened, but I can imagine the original grep as a shell
script that created an ed editing script, then invoked it.  (It might
be pretty easy.)

Give me a break.  Try Unix Framemaker (about $3000) and Windows 
Aldus pagemaker + Aldus illustrator + (something else) for $900.00 
If you want free Emacs & TeX, there are free versions for the PC too.
Or you can "roll your own" postscript.  Or you can use the free wordprocessor
(with graphics, fonts etc.) that comes free with Windows.  Let's see you

Perl?  Give me a break...If you want free spreadsheets, OS/2 has one built
in too.  And there is also perl for OS/2 (and DOS).

I'm not sure if this is what you have in mind but we have been
developing a program to predict values in a time-series by
embedding in higher dimensions, tesselating, and interpolating with
natural neighbour interpolation.

This program is still under development and probably still has some
bugs - however, criticism and advice are welcomed.  Updates will
appear at irregular intervals.
