I have ftp'd the SCO binaries from wimsey.bc.ca for the implementation of
lpd on an SCO system.  I am running an ODT server under v3.2.2.  I have all
of the binaries installed, but am puzzled as to what printer interface/driver
to implement for the BSD printers defined in /etc/printcap.  Do I use remote
and put an appropriate lpr command in the file or is there some other method?
Most of my limited UNIX experience has been with System V implementations
including SCO so I do not have a good understanding of the BSD printing system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Problem with multiport card and Telnet.
Summary: Telnet doesn't work on multiport port.
Keywords: muliport,card,problem
Organization: Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa

Hi there

I have recently installed a couple of multi-port expansion cards on
my SCO unix 3.2.2 system. The first of these was a Chase Research
dumb 8 port card (DB8) and the second an intelligent Shine Com 8
port with an option for a daughter board with another 8 ports. The
model number of the latter card is LCS-8682 with an LCS-8682-1
daughter board. Both are manufactured by Longshine Electronics Co.

Initially I had thought there might be compatibility problems between
the Chase research card and the Shine Com but when I installed both
together, they seemed to work just fine - the ports on the Chase
Research card are tty2a-tty2h and on the Shine Com tty4a-tty4h.

However my problem is that when I attempted to run a telnet session
from any  of the Shine Com ports, everything just 'froze' and the only
way to 'unfreeze' was to kill the telnet process from the master
console. Somehow it seems telnet is having problems routing to tty4x
(the Shine Com ports). On the other hand email and ftp from the same
port work just fine.

If anyone has any ideas as to how I might solve this problem, I would
be most grateful.

Well, I never thought I'd see this again, but today I have run
into a client running Tandy Scripsit on SCO Xenix.

He's had a bad system crash, a succession of know-nothing consultants,
and has been totally down these past 6 weeks (!).

One of the consultants absconded with all his disks, so he had to 
rebuy the OS and Filepro to get up and running.  Another one broke
his motherboard, and still another installed Equinox drivers (great
idea when you have a Computone in the box!)  The final straw was the
guy who moved all kinds of stuff over to /u, but only changed the 
Filepro pointers in some of the places they needed to be changed...
and there's more- a very sad story.

Anyway, today I put the poor guy back in business, and got everything
working EXCEPT I can't get Scripsit to print.  Jobs just sit in the
Scripsit spool queue and never transfer to the Xenix queue.

The frustrating part is that somewhere in my mind, I know how to fix
this!  I've seen this before, I've fixed it before, but it was probably
1987 and I can't remember!

Was there something supposed to be linked to the printer device?  Was there
something that needs to run in /etc/rc.d ?

Help!

First, at the time I responded, it was not at all clear that an hour or
two would provide a superior compiler.  I'm sure gcc is superior, but
it still isn't clear that an hour or two is adequate.  Second, we don't
normally write code for the SCO box.  It is a modem server and news host,
so the payback appears poor up front.  If, however, I had know I would

Hmmm.  One has to wonder then, why when they recently introduced their spiffy

inodes?

OK you want an EISA machine where EISA cards can crash the system.

Aren't they all?  And DEC puts all the mounting kits in the machine.  We had to 
wait 2 months for the mounting kits.  Until they arived we had the HDD wrapped

>maximum of 64MB RAM, no 4MB SIMMs, 

No argument here.  This sucks!  The other problem is that they only appear to 
have 64MB worth of address lines out to the EISA bus.  This means that you 
can't map the RAM/ROM on your EISA boards into the GB memory range and never 
risk a conflict.

>DEC OS releases that are 3-4 months behind the equivalent SCO release...

I think that ODT 2.0 and MPX 2.0 will support the 433/MP right out of the box 
with nothing else.  This should put an end to that.


>Really, you don't know how good you've got it.

Right the machines PANIC daily, and are not reliable enough to do development

As to "how to do the bar code", that should be documented in your manual:
I assume you either are using a dedicated barcode printer or a laser w/
barcode cartridge: either way, it's just escape sequences.

To recognize certain characters, "sed" is certainly powerful enough to
find the characters wrapped in tildes and insert the escapes you need.
I suppose you could do it in the spooler interface, but I found it easier to
have something before that: like "barlpr" instead of lpr, that will prepare
the file (insert all appropriate escape sequences) and then send it off for
normal spooling.

Hi All,

I am working on an article for SCO Magazine, and I need to get some info.

I had kermit running fine under ODT 1.1, and then I did a live upgrade to ODT 
2.0.  Kermit just stopped working.  I recompiled kermit for SCO sysv3.2.2 and 
then I needed to enter 2 carriage returns to make kermit accept commands.  I 
then recompiled it for XENIX, and now it works OK.  


I have two questions:

1) What causes this to happen? and why?

2) Is the kermit source now patched for SCO 3.2.4?

Thanks.

this is what we did at our installation :

created a user called ``end'' gave him a well known password
in the user's .profile , 
trapped all signals, 
checked no other users were logged in ,
invoked /etc/shudown -g0 -i0 -Y
chnged user's uid to 0 in /etc/passwd and in /tcb/files/auth/e/end
so to shutdown the system , all users exit, some one login as
end and give password ``go home''
i dn't konw whether this is the best method but it sure does works.
