FYI --

Last week, I spotted two posts citing e-mail access to svr4.2 information
directly from usl. I tried them both out:

	info@usl.com		# Bogus
	tc-info@uel.com		# works.

The later printed all the 4.2 RE: press releases, when I used the Subject:

	4.2all

as reported earlier in this group. I haven't checked into the scope of this
server in depth, but I will post/e-mail if there's enough interest.

We had a copy of Destiny to do beta-testing a few months ago and here is
a short list of the features/differences I can remember:

- better installation (only a few questions)
- graphical desktop (Motiv/OpenLook)
- Veritas filesystem (faster than ufs - really; they claim you can power off 
                      your computer after leaving the editor without loosing
                      data - I have tried it, it's true)
- loadable drivers (this will effect writing device drivers)
- graphical debugger (nice thing)
- many fixes (yes they have found nearly all bugs we have searched for)

... but if you look at the kernel source you will see many SVR4.0 parts -
     no microkernel.

... multithreaded applications ??? - Ooops we didn't look for ....

I'm shure I forgot something 8*((

Kinda.

I just got myself an ATI Graphics Ultra, and am mostly pleased with
it.  Under Dell 2.2, running Xmach at 1024x768x256, on a (very non-Dell :-)
486-33, I'm getting 68,000 Xstones.  It's *great*.

BUT I can't seem to make a native VGA DOS image under Merge.  The
screen just blanks out, and the thing sits there.  What this means is
that I can't access any of the non-standard VGA modes under DOS.  Same
story on another machine (different hadrware brand).

Has anyone managed to do this with a Graphics Ultra?

Naturally, neither Dell nor Locus answer my mail on this topic, which
seems strange, particulary since this card is actually supported
by Dell, and is a name-brand item to boot. 

>I can't speak to the _best_ card, but I have a system with the ET4000 chipset

Yup.  I agree entirely.  Before getting the Graphics Ultra, I tried
out a cheap (100CDN$) ET4000 card, and got 12,000 Xstones.

Bell Tech. was acquired by Intel which explicitly dropped support of
Bell's non-Intel hardware, Intel dumped their Unix business on Inter-

Anyone know if there is a size limitation to the /etc/ttydefs file???

I am using Unix SysV rel 4.0.2.1.  My ttydefs file, after adding some
entries is 134 lines long.  Using the pmadm command to configure a port,
the port will not configure properly.  The term entry I want to use in
the ttydefs file is on line 124, so I moved it to the top of the ttydefs
file and configured the port and it configured ok.  After playing around
a while line 115 of the ttydefs file seem to be the limit.  The port
would configure with the entry on line 115, but not 116.  Anyone
else have any experience with this????

Which is a good thing.

The one DELL ships is misconfigured somehow and will eventually eat the
history files that Cnews uses -- you will then have a hell of mess on your
hands.  My suspicion is that they compiled NNTP and CNews to use different
dbm/dbz version(s).  Ouch!

However, 1.5.11 is no great shakes to get running, and does work properly.

Summary: using name server makes BSD remote printing fail -- why? 
Keywords: Dell Unix, DNS, printing
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Distribution: na
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 04:49:52 GMT

Hello.  Dell tells me that I'm a victim of a long-standing generic SVR4 bug,
and I was wondering if any of you folks out there had figured out a workaround.

Here's the symptom:

1)  Put together a working DNS system on the Dell Unix box.  Put
nameserver 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf, and start up in.named in rc.inet.
.

2)  Configure BSD-based printing, permitting some remote systems to print
via printers connected to the Dell.

If you do both of these things, then the BSD-based printing doesn't work.
The Dell immediately shuts down any attempted connection.

But!  If you change the line in the /etc/resolv.conf file to "nonameserver,"
the BSD print services work!

Any comments?  Has anyone got a reasonable workaround, beyond just leaving
in the nonameserver?

Please send responses by E-mail, and I'll summarize if there's enough
interest.

I'm using Dell SVR4 Issue 2.2 and have gotten conflicting advice
(even from Dell) on whether to use ttymon or uugetty to manage
dial-in modem ports.  uugetty seems to interfere with dial-out
SLIP, locking up sessions a few minutes after they start up;
and I haven't managed (as my prior posting states) in getting
ttymon working to properly enable dial-in from Sun workstations.

I don't know why in earth you would use uugetty.

We've run getty here since day one (with 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2) without
problems -- and all of our lines support bidirectional UUCP.

Our SLIP connections are dedicated leased lines -- and hopefully,
soon will be PPP --

Hello,

This is a Call For Suggestions.

I'm currently working on svr4mon-1.1 and the new release is almost finished.
I've included all reported bug fixes, some improvements and some new
features.

If you have any further suggestions concerning bugs or improvements please
tell them to me.

Some of the new features:

    - added SLIP (plus VJ header compression) internal variables display
    - change svr4mon from TS to RT scheduling class and vice versa
    - immediate response to key input, no cycle delay anymore
    - now the asy display should work

and as always a lot of bug fixes :-))

The new release will be available in about two weeks, maybe somewhat
earlier, but no promises.

I'll post an announce when it is available.

to try something more hardware oriented and noticed that there are
2 timer/counters in the MMU chip.
Questions:

1) Does the OS use either or both of these counters?
2) Are there other timers available on the Sparc platform?
3) Does the equation change if I use a VME based SparcEngine?
4) Does/Has anybody done/? any work in this area and give me some
   pointers?
5) Are there other calls in Solaris 2.0 and derivatives that would
   allow me to what I am trying to do ????

However, when I try to write out to the tape
using tar or cpio I get:

I/O error on write(), errno 5, I/O error

I get a very similar message if I try to read of 
a tape made on another machine.  

By the way the tape in the tape drive is a
DC6150.  I have not had a chance to go and buy
6525 tapes yet. Could this be the problem?
The vendor I bought the tape drive says no.

I need to get this running since I have not backed
up my system in 3 weeks when my old tape drive
died.

Thanks
