The LAT protocol is not a VMS bogosity but a DEC "bogosity" that is the
ONLY protocol used by many of our campus terminal servers, supplied and
maintained by our campus Computer Center.  As a result, Engineering
students must either connect (at 9600 bps) to our central computing
facility (currently VMS Vaxen) and then telnet to the ESchool machines
*OR* use a modem and their (sometimes-shared) dorm phoneline to connect
(at 2400 bps) to the smart (multi-protocol) dialup server.  Neither of
these is a really great answer.

Why burden your Sun with VMS bogosities?

Since DEC now claims "Open VMS" (hoo, boy! :-), why not simply put
compliant software on the VAX instead?

Here's the best solution as posted to comp.os.vms by Dr. Glenn Everhart, the
DECUS Program Librarian.  I've reformatted his posting (below) and corrected
the phone number (since two digits were originally transposed):

	CMU TCP/IP
	Gives Telnet and FTP among other things, and is quite robust.
	Costs $150 to order, approximately; send mail to

	Ms. Karen Heilman

	R635KH55@vb.cc.cmu.edu

	412-268-5896

	Carnegie Mellon University
	UCC Bldg Rm 24
	4910 Forbes Avenue
	Pittsburgh PA 15213-3890
	U. S. A.

Glenn adds:

	ps. - if you are not up to VMS 5.4, you will want to ensure you order
	a version of CMU TCP/IP that will work on whatever VMS version you
	have.  Such things exist which support VMS V4 and on, though the
	VMS V4 supporting releases were considerably more complex to install.
	The VMS V5 version is VMSinstallable and goes in very simply.

Date: 7 Apr 92 04:44:25 GMT
Organization: Burdett, Buckeridge & Young, Melbourne, Australia

We are looking at getting a CD-ROM drive on our Sun network.  The
intended applications would be a couple of databases that are accessed
very rarely, say once/day.  We would like to be able to use several
disks in the one drive, and use operator alerts to mount the correct
disk.

And when there is no-one accesing one of the databases, I'd like to be
able to play music on it!

What I guess I am after is some sort of NFS server that can intercept
mount or unmount requests (or usage requests) and ask me to change
disks as necessary.  Kind of like a manually-augmented automounter.

Tricky complication: one of the applications needs to run on PCs under
PC-NFS.

Anyone know of one of these?

Greg.

I am a new owner of a used Sun-3/60M. Not being an electronics hobbyist,

Should I expect h/w failures? Should I get a maintenance contract?

I have one problem already: the (19" mono) monitor fades in and out.
Is this ominous or expensive to fix? How expensive is the monitor to replace?
Can any other model of monitor be used as a substitute?

I'd appreciate a recommendation of a repair service in the SF Bay Area.
Is there a SF SUG for people with one old Sun at home?

Hi, folks. One of the researchers here has expressed interest in setting
up a database of online medical imaging data, and permitting remote users
to call in via modem, peruse the database, download some statistical data,
and request a CD with the raw data. 

He's examined a CD-WORM drive that would run off a DOS platform, and is
examining a UNIX box to provide multiple user logins. My thought is that he
could eliminate the DOS machine altogether, if the CD-WORM could be run off
the UNIX box. I've also suggested that he investigate Sparcstations of
various ilk, since we've had good success with them in this lab.

My question: does anyone out there know of a good, cheap CD-WORM drive for
Sparcstations that could do ~platters a year? Also, can these or other SCSI
based devices be transferred between a Sun and a PC, and if so, how? Please
email responses: I'll summarize and post results.

Uh, while such power connections do exist, the 30A service for the older
Sun servers (dunno about the new ones) is not among them.  It is exactly
what it claims to be:  a 30-amp *one*-phase circuit.  It has a special
plug precisely because the equipment is considered capable of pulling
more power than a garden-variety 15A circuit can supply.  If you're sure
you're not pulling more than 15A, including startup surge, you can switch
to an ordinary plug and an ordinary circuit and it works fine.  (We did
this on an SGI 4D/60T, which had yet *another* whacko plug for one-phase
20A service and wasn't drawing anywhere near that.)

Before arguing with me, please consider that (a) zoo.toronto.edu *is*
one of these, and I was involved in getting the power connection put in,
including measuring the voltages afterward to make sure the electricians
had done it right, (b) we've also got two-phase equipment, and I know
the difference, and (c) I checked the Sun manuals for confirmation.

It is quite possible that your capacitors have "dried out".  Some of
the monitors have "wet" capacitors and after some years they dry out.
Our tech here replaces them with Tantalum capacitors as I remember.  I
