Is anyone using any multimedia authoring packages on the HP?
I'm looking for something that can control a CD-rom, VCR, etc.

Thanks in advance, Frank.

Hi!

   I'm looking for a nn newsreader or rn-43 newsreader that someone
has cutsomized for HPUX8.07.  I'm not a super unix user yet so i 
don't know as much as i would like about unix.  I'm working at a new
HP lab the engineering dept set up and we're trying to get a full
newsfeed and newsreader on one of the macines so to make usenet
available to the students here.

anybody?

thanx!

I'm having a "slight" problem getting our HP9K3?? that runs HP-UX 8.0
to understand /etc/netgroup entries in /etc/exports. To be more
specific - it doesn't seem to work at all... Is this a known bug in
HP-UX 8.0?

Another problem we've just ran into is that we seem to be unable to
mount files from the HP9K3?? on our SparcStation 1+ that runs
Solaris 2.1. We just seem to get an error complaining about

  "..RPC: Authentication error; why = Invalid client credential"

Has anybody else seen this?

  We are getting the following error when linking an application:

pxdb: internal error. File won't be debuggable (still a valid executable)

  The error seems to randomly occur.  I have heard that the pxdb error is
due to certain compiler flags not mixing well together, but we compile and
link with exactly the same flags every time we build, and we keep getting
the error over and over.

  Sometimes the error will disappear when we rebuild our libs and relink our
app, but sometimes *nothing* works.

  Thanx in advance for any tips, rumors, heresay, whatever.

Hello All,

	I goofed really big. I have a 9000/755 and have accidentally did
the following:

In Boot Admin on the EEPROM I typed:

		PATH console rs232.a

And I cannot get anyhting ona ANSI terminal hooked to rs232 a port. And
now I cannot figure how to reset the console path to graphics_1.

Any body have the answer?!? (God let there be someone)

I basically cannot boot or use the system (Not on a network)

Also, if someone answers the above, can you boot HP-UX 9.0 in a single user
mode and not have init run the setups in /etc/inittab?

The system has Instant Ignition and tries to run HP-Vue, but HP vue is
corrupt and wont start so the system just hangs there. I need to get the
init run default to level 2 (text) so I can fix HP-VUE...

Email direct to jeff@wsm.com please... (I need the answer as soon as possible!)

HP does not currently supply an implementation of either CSLIP or
PPP.

Morning Star Technologies is working on a port of their PPP product to
HP-UX.  You can contact them at sales@morningstar.com or 1-800-558-7827.
Brixton Systems also has a PPP implementation that they may be able to
port to HP-UX.  Brixton is at 617-497-2938.

Note that HP does not support or provide either of these products.

There are a couple of different HP-HIL extenders listed in the LaserROM
product catalog.  These are passive cables with really thick conductors
rather than active devices, so it probably wouldn't be a good idea to
use more than one extender.

The 745i is a really nice looking machine.  I have the specs infront of me
and it certainly fits the bill for what we want.  It has the 50 MHz processor
so is about equivalent to the HP 9000/725 interms of processing power.  As
you said it has a built in HPIB interface as well as the SCSI.  The surprise
for me was that it also comes with 4 built in EISA slots.  The only thing I
didn't like was that it didn't have much in the way of memory slots so its
memory upgrading is a little constrained.  I would love to see VEE-TEST
running on this thing.

: Differential & fast/wide are not the same. Differential has a 50 pin
: connector, and a 10 MB/s peak, while fast/wide has a 68 pin connector and a
: 20 MB/s peak.

The "16-bit Differential SCSI" port is fast/wide. Wide means 16 bits.
The 735 has two SCSI ports, an 8 bit single ended port, and a 16-bit
differential "fast/wide" port. HP also sells an EISA SCSI card which is
8 bit differential SCSI. 

If you get the 735 upgrade, your machine will be a 735. It will not be
any different from the machine you would get if you ordered a new 735.
The 735 CPU board has 16 Megabytes of memory built in (not removable),
so you will have 16 Megabytes more than you had before. The memory boards
for the 720,730 and 735 are all the same.

Maybe it contains a context-dependant file (CDF).  Type "ls -aH" to

  Hi John, do you have a list of up and coming CDTV software?  I would really
like to get a CDTV but, sadly, there is only the A500 version.  I plan to
upgrade to at least a 1200 this spring, but will there be a CDTV for the 1200
and 4000 sometime in '93?  As a stand alone system I don't think CDTV can
survive against such competitors as CD-I (even though it seems to be an even
race there...I don't think anyone is buying either..), and 3DO..but as an
Amiga expansion device it has amazing potential.

  Do you have any reccomendations of CDTV software?  I am a big games addict,
but I hear most of these early CDTV ports are just the disk versions thrown
onto CDTV.  I wouldn't mind that if they weren't priced so expensive.  I'd
think the CDTV versions of disk based games that haven't been enhanced would
be a bit cheaper...  I'd like to get a good history disc....and possibly that
Japan world one... which ones are good?

	I have an American made CD-TV, and the track number is ALWAYS there,
regardless of when I put a disk in, or when I turn it on.
