I could swear I posted a message saying this before, but I can't seem to find
it, so maybe the post failed and I didn't notice. Oh well.

Has anyone figured out how to mount an HPFS partition yet? I'm still kind of
hanging here...

I als had the 'set line first' prblem with the kermit I had. I happened
to have the source of kermnit 5A(179) I thought I just gave it a try.
Just did a 'make posix' and it compiled without any problem. Kermit runs 
fine now. Note however there was an announcement in this newsgroup of
kermit 5A(183) that has a make rule for linux in it.

Well it is not much that I got to offer you but:
I have a 386/40 with a 210 rodime IDE and a Seagate ST01 with a ST296. 
Under dos 
and Linux the HD works fine (exept for the well known, rather limited speed)
When I use HLU's root disk, I also get the error 04 after which Lilo tries to
reboot.

I have not worried about it too much, as I have everything going. I have not had the
time to investigate the problem in more detail, so I do not know whether LILO is to blame.
I expect Lilo to have some problems in this case, as copying a working kernel and rerunning 
Lilo did not seem to correct the problem.

I have a 486-33 with an AMI bios and have had absolutlety no problems
with linux corrupting the cmos settings. I use reboot to reboot, or
shutdown -r -s to reboot into singleuser and nothing corrupts the cmos
during these times.

If there were an easy answer to this, there would not be the linux
distribution problem in the first place.  If I am knowledgable enough
about linux to have heard of this list, chances are I have a copy of
linux myself.  And if that is the case, I can just tell them how

	Hello all
		I, and I presume others, are rather confused by the 
multitude of pc parts and how well each works with Linux.  Soo....
I would like to compile a list of each of the following: vga cards,
scsi and other hard disk adapters, ethernet cards, and mice(and whatever
else anybody might deem appropriate).  This list will evaluate each item
according the following criteria:

Is it supported under linux?  are there plans and/or development?

Is the support alpha, beta, or better.  (perhaps a stabability index could
be created??)

Who should I contact for further information? (if it is being developed)

For vga cards, at what resolutions does it work?  and what are the values
for the Xconfig file.  Is it fast?  What amount of ram is required for
each resolution available.  Might be good to start a list of S3 cards
as the S3 support is being developed.

For scsi cards, What cards are supported?  Is it necessary to get an
adaptec 1542 for decent speed? (IE. a non-busmastering card).  Perhaps
an index relative to some standard card like the 1542 could be created?
(DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THE ALWAYS IN2000 IS SUPPORTED?)  I can buy this
from a friend, but i havent been able to ascertain 100% whether or not
it is supported...

BTW: dont forget ESDI.  I am using an ESDI drive and have not had *any*
problems at all!  Its fast, reliable and besides, everybody is dumping
them for SCSI's! so their cheap! :)

Over all index as to functionality and performance under linux.  IE.
If I was buying something, should I get this or should I pop for the
better one?


And any other information you would like to offer.


I do realize that this information I am asking for is already available!
But it is scattered all over creation and it seems like its all either 
obsolete or conficting.  SOOO!!!  If anybody has a cool setup they
are really proud of, please let me know!   I will hopefully compile
a list and put it up for ftp when it seems like it has some useful
information.

Hey, if you ever get to St. Louis, MO, on a Saturday night, come to a
bar named "Rivers" (on the Mississippi river landing) and look for the

Subject: ANNOUNCE: Seyon 0.5 is out (X11 communiaction package)
Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Distribution: comp
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1992 00:10:57 GMT


I've put it on sunsite. Seyon is now a complete X11 communication
package (well, almost). Let me know of any bugs (and also of success
stories). The following is the introducion and the change log:

Introduction:
=============

This is Seyon, an X-based communication package that has its roots in
xcomm 2.2. Seyon is still in alpha, but is quite usable. It has a
descent dialing directory where hosts can be chosen by clicking at
them. Seyon has the same script language as xcomm 2.2, which is quite
good. Seyon avoids the problematic terminal emulation of minicom and
other communication programs by using xterm as its terminal emulator.
Hence, Seyon can emulate vt100 and color ANSI (the latter only if
color xterm is used). Some non-essential features are still not
implemented but will be in the near future. If you use Seyon and like
it, please let me know by email. This will give me the incentive to
continue maintaining it.

Change Log:
===========

Version 0.5:
		* Added a new transfer console that invokes a pre-defined
		  protocols ala minicom and all DOS comm programs.
		  Intelligent enough to prompt for a file name if needed.
		* Added support for specifying the modem port in the
		  resources.
		* Added a new shell button to pass commands to the shell.
		* Moved the status button to be a part of tge set 'Set'
		  console and added initial implementation to the set
		  console (not functioning yet).
		* The hangup button now asks for cofirmation.
		* The exit button now asks if you want to hangup before
		  exiting.
		* Corrected the '-g' switch problem (now '-script') and
		  enabled the execution of a script specified at the
		  command line.
		* Added a FAQ and a CHANGELOG files.
		* Updated the help file
		* Fixed various minor problems.

Version 0.0: 
		Initial release

James,
   We are not distributing the BSDSS/BNR2 stuff because we don't have anyone
working on it. Since we cannot distribute it to non-licensed sites it has
become a low priority item and we simply don't have enough people to try
to keep the Unix server running (which we use here) and provide any reasonable
level of support for the BNR2 system. We thought that to do a decent job
of support we would have to track the changes being made to the environment
and this would likely reflect back to the server. 

If there is any outside site that would like to take on this effort we
would certainly be happy to co-operate.

Organization: BT North America, San Jose CA.

I am looking for ports of MACH to multiprocessor-machines in general,
and hoped that maybe someone could help me locate a couple of them.

The different kind of architectures I am mostly interested in is
VME-busses with 680x0-processors and Sparc-ports, especially the
newer ones with multiple CPU's. All other architectures are also
interesting, even though my main focus is on these.

I have been a little confused since even though everyone is talking a
lot about MACH and mulitprocessing, there does not seem to be that
much used. I hope to find those that are really using this.

I have been considering doing the port myself, but since that isn't
the kind of stuff I am supposed to do, I am interested in looking at
others ports if there are some. This especially for Sparc's, of all
kinds. Even non-multiprocessor ones.

I appreciate all input I can get on this matter.

Cheers,
