Subject: Help!- PhoneNet card on SE/30 with A/UX
Date: 6 Jan 93 18:04:57 GMT
Organization: 44.64.0.153

I have a Mac SE/30 running A/UX 3.0. I've been trying to get it to use
a Farallon PhoneNet ethernet card in my PDS slot. I used newconfig
to add the modules as, nfs, cslip, and snd. I used the verbose mode
for newconfig and it found two devices for which it didn't have drivers
(I didn't remember to copy these numbers down). It also didn't list ae
as one of the modules loaded at the end of the newconfig process.

After rebooting it tried pinging a local host on my network and it said
"network unreachable". Then I did a "netstat -i" and discovered that the
only networks we lo0, sl0 and sl1- NO ethernet!

My questions:
	Did I miss something when I newconfig'd the kernel?
	Do I need to do something afterwards to get the ethernet to show up?
	Does the PhoneNet card ever work with the apple ethernet driver?
	 (If not is there a driver available for it?)

System info:
	SE/30
	8 meg ram (20 meg swap)
	220 meg external disk with all A/UX partitions (including MacPartition)
	Farallon PhoneNet ethernet card in PDS slot
	40 meg internal disk with MacOS stuff on it

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

This was solved in 2.01 days by Richard Bornat here who produced a revised 
GB_Eire zoneinfo file, I'll put a copy of a bundle of associated stuff into 
archive/aux/tzstuff on redstar.dcs.qmw.ac.uk for anon ftp.  All you really 
need is the GB-Eire file, drop it into /etc/zoneinfo and reboot.  The other 
stuff may be of interest to anyone who wants custom timezones.  It would be 
nice if this corrected GB-Eire file became part of the A/UX release.

Cheers, Dave

Do yourself a favour, if you've already got a Q700, run it on that. I
have 
a Q700 at the office with 20MB and a IIcx at home, also with 20MB. The 
difference in speed is BIG! It gets tedious waiting around for the cx 
sometimes (but it could be that I'm just a little on the anal side...).
By 
The time you get around to putting in an ethernet card for the IIci and a 
video card to run a 16" monitor (which makes life in A/UX a dream) you've 
nearly got yourself up in the Q700 price range.

I'm trying to use MacX 1.2 to display Word Perfect running on a Sun (SunOS

WP fonts (*.bdf) from the Sun to my Mac Quadra 950, but when I try to
compile them in MacX, the finder doesn't recognize the font files, i.e.,
they don't show up under "Compile BDF File".  I tried using ResEdit 2.1
to assign the proper file type & creator (i.e., made them look like the
font files that came with MacX), but MacX still will not recognize them.
As a matter of fact, after using ResEdit, the files appear to the finder
as MacX documents, but still cannot be compiled.  Any help appreciated,
e-mail replies preferred.  Thanks.

BTW, I'm running System 7.1.

that the cd300 will NOT work properly, and IS not supported by Apple under

I have a Radius PrecisionColor 8x on my IIfx running A/UX 3.0. They work
fine together.

One catch: Radius PrecisionColor's v.1.2.1 ROM does NOT work with A/UX 
2.0 and 3.0. I believe it's also known as revision "J" ROM which also
appears on the Radius box.  The newer 1.3.1 ROM works flawlessly.

Or when the ethernet interface exists but is not configured (you can't take
the enet out of a Quadra). I could make MacTCP work, but GetMyIPAddr
insisted on returning the IP address of the ethernet interface, so MacOS
programs that needed to know their own addresses (eg, ftp clients) would
fail.

The patches work fine for me, too, with one caveat.  The mac emulation dies
if you start a MacTCP application on the patched system when the SLIP
connection isn't up.  I dunno if it applies to all MacTCP apps or some
subset; given the time it takes to get logged in again, I'm not anxious to
find out.

Well, of course.  I was referring mainly to differences in how these systems
handle paging of virtual memory.  UNIX systems use the swap area for paging
as well as swap; for a virtual memory system swapping and paging are closely
related.  Most UNIX systems preallocate space in the swap area for paging
when memory is *allocated* by a process - whether or not the process has any
writable pages paged out.  On a busy system this guarantees that the space
will be there when if and when it is needed.  A/UX is unusual in that it
appears to wait until physical memory is exhausted, i.e., until it actually
has to page something out, before allocating space in the swap area.  On
most UNIX systems, as someone said earlier, one typically allocates
something like 2 times the physical memory for swap, e.g., 40-80 Mb or even
more on some systems.  A/UX appears to be able to make do with much less
swap space and swap usage tends to decrease as the physical memory increases.

True, but this is _very_ different than the focus of the original question
which was running Sys7 _under_ A/UX.

I've never attempted to boot A/UX under 7.1 but I assume that it would
boot fine. Once A/UX is booted, all "memories" of the MacOS used to boot
it (with some minor exceptions) are forgotten.

For some reason that I'm trying to find out right now (with lots of help

It's possible that the problem may not be that however...

I am running a reasonably "stock" A/UX 3.0 (under ksh) and would like
to use some mail convenience features that I have been unable to
locate under A/UX.

(0) Is mailx the "best" supplied interface to sendmail? If not, what
    might do better?

(1) Under mailx, can one implement the automatic use of .signature
    and .rsignature? If so, how? (I'm able to use the ~a and ~A
    mechanism, but would like the added convenience of the auto-
    matic . files.)

(2) Under mailx, can one change the first-character-of-each-interpolated-
    line to something other than [tab] (when using ~m in input mode)?
    If so, how?

(3) Under mailx, can one pass a "-v" to sendmail so that you can see
    your messages' outgoing progress? If so, how? (I have tried to get
    this to work by editing /usr/lib/mailx/mail.rc to read

    set sendmail=/usr/lib/sendmail -v

    both with and without various types of quotes 'round the full
    path name of the command. I have also tried the same sort of "set"
    within my .mailrc. At best, the -v is ignored. At worst, I get
    an error message when sending mail...

    /usr/lib/sendmail -v: No such file or directory

    This error occurs when the full path and -v are enclosed in "".
    Lastly, if I directly invoke sendmail to send a message, e.g.

    /usr/lib/sendmail -v user@address

    the #$%##@ thing works! Ok, so the LIMITATIONS part of the mailx
    man page does say that some argument are not always allowed -
    but this one should work!)

My present setup includes the following from the ksh...
alpha:> set
ENV=/users/weinhous/.kshrc
HOME=/users/weinhous
HOSTNAME=alpha
MAIL=/usr/mail/weinhous
MAILCHECK=60
MAILPATH=/usr/mail/weinhous
SHELL=/bin/ksh

From within mailx, the set command yields...
? set
DEAD="/users/weinhous/dead.letter"
EDITOR="/usr/bin/vi"
MAILRC="/users/weinhous/.mailrc"
MBOX="/users/weinhous/mbox"
PAGER="/usr/local/bin/less"

Okay, I give.  Paul Sanders says that the a/ux 3.0 hd sc setup program
will let you set up more than one root partition.  It won't for me.
The moment I define either a Root or Root&Usr partition, that option
disappears from the partition-type menu.  Apparently those partition
types are hardwired to specific slice numbers (in this case, slice 0).
Either I'm incredibly stupid, there's a bug in my version of the program,
or there's something he's omitting (maybe it's obvious once you know how
to do it).

Yes.

Get a sensible inetd. The Apple thing is stupid -- it doesn't call
SO_REUSEADDR on the sockets it allocates, can't retry, doesn't log
who's calling in (as far as I know...) and probably a bunch of other
problems I haven't noticed yet.

I threw it out and replaced it with a more sensible piece of code;
don't ask me where I found it, but it seems to be the FSF's current
nonrelease version.  ;-)

Sources are available on ftp.ira.uka.de in /pub/systems/mac/aux.

Can somebody point me to a reasonable telnetd and/or rlogind?
I tried the BSD Net2 stuff but don't have time to do something
about the PTY allocation, which apparently uses some BSD Net2 
library which A/UX doesn't have (yet ;-).
