What's wrong with /etc/ttytype? This is a small cut from our machine (Dell 2.1)
wix-wh	term/01
wix	term/09
vt100	term/03m
unknown pts/0

login reads this and sets TERM for your login shell - if you didn't use
/usr/bin/login, then you would have to make other arrangements like those
above.

Hey there y'all
     I am running a 3b2 with Sys V R3.2 and TCP 3.0.1.  I have followed the
instructions in the FAQ for setting up an anonymous ftp login, but I can
not get it to work.  I can login in all right, but when I try to do an 'ls'
I get no output.  The command seems to work okay.  I get the proper
response from the verbose messages but no directory entries appear.  I
can change directory to the subdirs I know are present, but they just 
do not show up with an 'ls'.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please
respond via email.


Thanks,

If I get lots of people interested, it of course goes to the highest

I have an old 3b2 running svr3 version 3.1, we are running Wollogong TCP/IP to
connect to a local area net.  I am in desperate need of upping the process
limit for the number of users.  I know that it can be done because I have
seen people do it, unfortunately, I can't remember who or where.  
Too many machines, much too small channel for information.  Anyway, I looked
up in the manual (Enhanced TCP/IP WIN 3B at Tunable Parameters, figuring
I might find it there.

He Mike - there is a BBS system that supports all kinds of good stuff

Sorry, very few programs will actually be able to use more than the base
48K. The 16K difference between an 800 and an 800XL lies underneath the OS
ROM.  To get at it, you have to switch off the ROM during the VBI.  The 800
does not have the capability of turning off the OS ROM.  On the 800,
everything beyond the base 48K must be banked switched just like the extra
64K in the 130XE, HOWEVER the banks do not switch at the same 16K range of
addresses as the 130XE, so even if you have the extra memory you can't run
software designed to take advantage of the 130XE.  The best known memory
expansion for the 800 is the Axlon expansion.  Some older software such as
SynCalc, and newer software such as SpartaDOS X can use Axlon compatible
memory on the 800.

It all depends where the handler loads before it relocates itself into low

Someone mentioned that you need to have a SCSI Drive WITHOUT the embedded

has an option for 'Seagate Embedded Drives'.  I have never tried using a
SCSI drive (I have an Adaptec 4000a) so I don't know if it works.
HDFMTPH9 and HDFMTPH8 are both greatly improved HD formatters over those
that were included with the MIO.

No that ISN'T a typo. The 800XE is quite popular here in Germany.
I didn't know that these computers aren't common in the U.S.A.

I think the 800XE was released around 1989 in Germany.
It looks axactly the same way as a 130XE (you know: that gray
colored case that appeares like a tiny ST).
The 800XE doesn't have a PBI like the 800XE but it has the cartridge
port along with the ECI on the back (same as 130XE).
Unlike the 130XE it has only 64Kb RAM.
I wonder if it isn't just the 800XLF with an XE case?
I don't know for sure, but the 800XE should have the Freddie (sp?)
chip inside.

On the whole the 800XE is a 130XE with 64Kb. Nothing special.

Strange, I don't remember seeing a 65XE around here. I guess
the 800XE IS the 65XE.
Atari seems to give two names for one computer.
65XE in America, 800XE in Europe.

     What I think would be grand is a cheap networking scheme,
unfortunately, I don't think there is a practical way of implementing it
though. 

     The reason I would like to see one is that I now have 3 800XLs and

I think I should bring up a point here.  Yes, ICD has abandoned us as  has many
other companies (mostly software), but I din't hear users crying about not
buying software that still exists from these companies because they have
abandoned us.
 
I feel that the "Don't get an MIO because ICD has abandoned us" is one of the
lamest excuses for not getting a good piece of equipment I've ever heard!!  All
who seem to fall back on this more than likely have another thought which is,
"If something happens to my MIO, how can I get it fixed?"  I seriously doubt
that ICD is the only company that can pick up a soddering iron or a volt/ohm
meter and find out what is wrong with an MIO.  The area I live in has got to
have the SMALLEST Atari 8-bit user base that I'm aware of, but we can get an MIO
fixed - WITHOUT ICD!
 
I just thought I'd mention that because farnkly, it's a lousy arguement not to
consider an MIO, which is a great piece of equipment that was manufactured by a
not-so-good company, but then again, the MIO sounds like it comes from the SAME
group of people who gave us the good 'ol ATARI 8-BIT!!!  Atari Co.  Are we going
to not continue   with the 8-bit also because we've been abandoned by Atari
Corp.?  If not, the the same attitude should be taken about any of these other
companies that have done the same thing.

Well.. the way I've done it is hook up the 8-bit via SIO to my SX212 (it 
has both an SIO port and an RS232 port.)  From there, I connect the VT101 
MONSTER to the RS232 port.  If you could disconnect some pins here and 
there (to keep echoing from happening), you could xfer data between an 
RS232'd system and an Atari 8-bit with only one modem (but it HAS to be 
the SX212, unfortunately..  It has only 1200 baud... UNfortunately...)

it was fun screwing with the working VT-101 that I got set up, but it 
takes up SOO much room, and even tho it's convinient to have the 8-bit 
running something other than a terminal while I'm online, it gets 
confusing.

I'm glad I didn't spend any money ;)
