In the same vein, is there some magic to make a Sun serial port on, say, 
an IPX respond to hardware flow control.  In my case, I am trying to use
a serial smart switch to share a PostScript printer.  Only one of the
input serial ports to the smart switch is enabled at a time and this is
done in the serial smart switch by asserting DTR.  Hooking DTR from the 
smart switch to various inputs on the Sun serial port and playing with
various stty setting as well as printcap and ttytab settings resulted in 
no joy.  The Sun IPX just merrily spits stuff out the serial port 
irregardless of the handshaking lines.  And yes, I did RTFM.  Is there 
some obscure detail that neophyte administrators like me often miss?  
Should I waste more net bandwidth with more details?

Thanx in advance.

It also makes a difference to local writes (strictly speaking it *only*
makes a difference to writes to the Prestoserve'd local disks, including
NFS clients of the Prestoserve'd machine).

One thing it really speeds up is "rm -rf".  Really.  (Which can be bad

The configuration is a brand new Sun 4/6x0 running SunOS 4.1.2.  The
Exabyte 8500c that was shipped with it acts sort of funny.

Every time you access it you get this message:

This includes "mt", "dump", "restore", etc.  We don't have a problem
ignoring this message, but we wonder if the fact that we get it all the
time means that something is wrong.  Usually this is something that you
only see on boot up.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  It can't be a cable length problem
because this is installed internally and I doubt the cable could be any
shorter.  (we've looked).

Thanks in advance!

After replacing the toner you need to reset the error message by pressing a

I have two old Sun monochrome screens (made by philips) that went

I replaced the power supply in one of the systems (because I had a
"known good" supply on hand) but the symptoms remained the same.
 
I was told that it "sounds like the flyback transformer."  It seems
that this part was a weak point that often failed after a few years of
use.
 
My questions are:
 
   1) Can anyone verify what the problem might be?

      to get the parts to fix it.
   3) Can I install the parts myself?

The point of my post was not to debate the particulars of hardware
implementation.  I simply question the wisdom of continuing to use the
"RS-xx2" interface when other options with better performance are
already available for connecting high-speed devices.

This is not necessarily true.  The lowest-overhead serial
implementations for the SPARCstation are STILL based on UARTs.

There are quite a few SBus serial boards based on the Cirrus Logic
CD1x0 and CD2x00 chips.  But since most of them don't have another
processor, they end up taking many more interrupts to service serial
traffic.  While the character interrupts are isolated from the SPARC,
most of the data movement is still done by the TTY driver (meaning the
SPARC).  This results in anywhere from 1% (on the best implementation
we've seen, from CoSystems) to 4% (on the Sun SPC/S with 1.1
driver/firmware) of a SPARC 2 being used for every 1000 chars moved.

The lowest-overhead implementations (that I know of) for the Sun still
have processors and UARTs.  These use only .2%-.5% of the SPARC 2 for
every 1000 chars moved.

Supposedly the Telebit Worldblazer runs approx 24K modem-to-modem.
With 3:1, that 72K.  V.FAST is coming, who knows what actual thruput
will be.

You can use other things besides async modems on those ports.

And two years from now, 115.2 may not be fast enough.

It basically speeds up NFS writes by caching incoming writes over NFS and
then writing them out to disk when there is time. You put the card and
software on the server and the NFS clients don't know the difference.
It does make a difference (only to NFS writes) but how much I don't know -

The load on the server is fairly minimal as its the card which does most
of the work.

Don't know yet - I guess they MUST release a Solaris 2.0 version of the

I have made an accounting file (af) entry in the printcap file for my default
printer, but when I attempt to pac for the printer the system tells me that 
the accounting is not activated for that (lp) printer.

I'm sure that it's simple.  But not being a old-time Unix user (A VMSer out-of-
water) I haven't found the right command..... Thanks
