As far as I know, it's called freq. (At least on my machine :)

Look for speedstar-fix on sunsite (or its mirrors).

you must use 'export RZSZLINE=/dev/modem' in your shell,
|

where /dev/modem is a symbolic link to your modem device.
|

I don't know why this isn't documented. Hope it works.

The README.Linux file that comes with the copy of Doom that I
|

got from sunsite says that I can set the doom WAD directory by setting
|
||||
an environment variable DOOMWADDIR to the directory which holds the
|

doom1.wad file. I can't get this to work, but I'd like to install the
|
||||
wad in a general location so that all users of my machine can play
|
||||
doom easily. Has anyone gotten this to work?
|

|

Does the registered version check to see if more than one copy
|

of Doom is running on the same machine?

I guess you could save the login-shell's pid at the beginning of the

|

Date: 13 Sep 1994 10:42:25 -0500
|
||||
|
||||
I've been using the 1.1.19 kernel for several months without a
|
||||
problem. Sound worked great for au files, mods, and cd audio, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Last night I upgraded to 1.1.45/ 2.90 sound, and now if I
|
||||
cat welcome.au > /dev/audio, It plays but gives a write io error, then
|
||||
repeats part of the file, then quits. Sound card is a PAS16, machine is
|
||||
a 486/40 vlb, 16MB. When configuring the new kernel I chose not full
|
||||
package, PAS16, no SB, irq10, dma3, opl3, dig voice, 65536 bufs.
|
||||
|
||||
Also on an unrelated note, where can I find 1.1.50? I checked the usual
|
||||
places, but I must be missing something.

No offense, but my opinion would be it doesn't. I have a 386DX33 w/8M and 1MB
|

graphics. I can run it fine under DOS, but under Linux, it's sluggish. Most
|

of this is due to the sound. In fact, the sound really kills it.

Concurrency control for ingres does not work on my system. I've tried
|

both the latest versions from sunsite and tsx-11. But whenever I try
|

to start up the daemon ingreslock, he dies. Compiling with the DEBUG

flag set shows that the select system call returns an error (in ildr.c).
|

The services file is correct.
|

|

My kernel is 1.0.8, gcc is 2.5.8 and libc is 4.5.24.
|

|

Has someone a working concurrency control for ingres ? Can someone give

me a hint where the problem is ?

Judjung by some responses I got, I didn't make it very clear as to what
|
||||
the story is.
|
||||
|
||||
I have a registered class C network IP number. Both PC1 and PC2 to are
|
||||
hosts on this network. My Internet provider has his end set up so that
|
||||
all the packets for my network go to PC1. I know they do indeed. But
|
||||
they do not seem to get past PC1 to PC2 even though it seems like PC1
|
||||
contains enough info to know where to send them.
|
||||
|
||||
If ppp0 has an IP of, say, 199.0.0.1 and ppp1 was 199.0.0.2, then
|
||||
wouldn't it make sense for kernel to send (forward) a packet arriving
|
||||
from the Internet via 199.0.0.1 addressed to 199.0.0.2, to ppp1?
|
||||
|
||||
I am not an expert on TCP/IP, so may be I'm missing something obvious.

That's the AppleDouble standard way to store the Mac file info. NFS/Share

(a NFS Mac client) also uses this scheme, as does A/UX (Apple's Unix for

Hopefully soon... NFS/Share doesn't work right if you do complex stuff.
|

(Files end up with holes ... ugh.) I haven't yet found out if this is a

problem of NFS/Share or of the Linux server.

There's a published hardware specification and API for Plug and Play,

so it should be possible to support these devices under Linux.

I've heard Linux _will be_ ported with AFS by some authors.

Is it true?

On my 486DX/33MHz, 8MB RAM, Genoa 8500VLbus 1Mb card, no sound, I got 10.4

P.S. It did swap once during the game (took about 5-6 sec.)

Subject: NFS performance
|
||||
Date: 13 Sep 1994 18:29:07 GMT
|
||||
|
||||
Hello all,
|
||||
|
||||
I have looked at a number of potential sources for help, all to no avail,
|
||||
so here I go with a question for the net experts...
|
||||
|
||||
What is the best way to measure and then to optimize NFS performance?
|
||||
Some specifics:
|
||||
|
||||
Linux 1.1.50 on a not-too-busy subnet, mounting disks on another
|
||||
Linux box (also running 1.1.50 and the latest networking stuff)
|
||||
as well as on Suns. Mount options are:
|
||||
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,async,hard,intr
|
||||
|
||||
The 2 Linux machines seem subjectively to have very slow NFS
|
||||
performance (i.e. ls on a relatively small directory can take
|
||||
5-10 secs). Iozone says about 40k bytes/sec for writing, 90k
|
||||
for reading.
|
||||
|
||||
Tcpspray shows similar numbers among all machines, so I don't
|
||||
suspect ethernet cards. Rather, it seems that NFS is the
|
||||
culprit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So, I'm asking what values people are getting for performance.
|
||||
How do you test it? Can you offer tips for improving it?
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks in advance for your help.

|

|

I think there is a serious problem in connection with 'login'.
|
||||
|
||||
Login doesn't work correctly when the login ID is > 8
|
||||
characters AND you telnet or type 'login' at a console
|
||||
*after* having logged in.
|
||||
It gives a 'login incorrect' response. This doesn't happen
|
||||
when you login directly from the console.
|
||||
|
||||
I've had the same problem with kernels, 1.0.8, 1.1.35, and
|
||||
1.1.45.
|
||||
|
||||
I'd be very happy if someone could shed light on this problem
|
||||
because it is very embarrasing to tell people that they have
|
||||
to restrict their login ID's to 8 characters (it smells of
|
||||
MSDOS :=( ).
|
||||
|
||||
Thanx

I am having the same problem. I'm using PAS16, no SB, IRQ 7, DMA 3. When I
|
||||
run Doom I get error messages telling me I have a conflict. The setup has
|
||||
always worked fine under both DOS and Linux. I am not convinced this is the
|

problem.

| Sure you already have 2 names:
|
||||
| localhost
|
||||
| lupo
|
||||
|
||||
| If you want more, just list them in /etc/hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I don't think it works so easily. You'd better change your
|
||||
/usr/lib/smail/config-file (I don't know if you can do it with the
|
||||
configure-script or if you must do it by hand):
|
||||
|
||||
more_hostnames=msheinz.psych.nat.tu-bs.de:mshilda.psych.nat.tu-bs.de
|
||||
|
||||
I have - for example - the line above in my config file to have one
|
||||
single mail spool for two computers. Then the smail daemon recognises
|
||||
both addresses as its own.
