Hi everybody,
there is only one reason for us to run our SCO UNIX server under SCO UNIX:
We need some of the SCO-Programs installed there.
I've read some time ago in one of the comp.os.linux.??? Newsgroups about
an iBCS - Emulator, which is able to run the SCO binaries, but I can't find
it on the ftp servers (most of them are SunSITE-mirrors).
**PLEASE** mail me the name of a ftp server and the path to the iBCS stuff.
Thanks in advance,
Oliver Wurm \\\//

I was thinking of a Linux daemon which polls a device on /dev/lp0 or
somewhere and acts as a virtual 1541. That way, this would place a very
light load on the machine, allowing it to be used for other tasks as
well.
Another Linux/1541 project, the reciprocal of this, would be a 1541 file
system which uses the X1541 cable.

NFS is a stateless protocol. You are supposed to be able to read 1/3 of
a file, have the server crash and come back online, and just continue
as if nothing had happened.
Negotiation phases in this environment lose.
Broken design goals, perhaps.

I think it is a relic of the max IP packet size, which is in turn
a relic of the 4Kbyte atomic allocation limit in the kernel.
(so why not a 2K limit? Don't ask me....)

I have a patch that one person is reporting success with. I am posting
it to see if it helps anyone else (this is the same patch that was posted to
the SCSI channel a day or two ago). This patch is only for the 1542 driver,
although the wd7000 driver is similar enough that the patch could be used there
as well - don't know about any of the others.
From what I can tell, this patch will help in cases where you have
multiple devices (or multiple drives) that are being used simultanously.
Usually the problem is most severe with machines that have more than one disk
drive since you tend to send a lot more commands to a disk than to a tape drive
or cdrom - expiring news on a 2-disk system can be a pretty good way of
triggering this. Anyway, there was a race condition in the code where we send
commands to the device that this patch corrects, and as I mentioned before,
there is someone with a 1542C that no longer gets timeouts with these patches
installed.
Although I do not expect any problems, I would like people to try this,
because I want to make sure that there are no bad side effects. This patch
will be incorporated into 1.0 if no one reports any problems.

Hi,
I tried to connect a DosBox via PLIP to a LinuxMachine (1.0.4).
Using plip.com from the Crynwr collection (pktd11.zip), the result of
a ping from the DosBox to Linux is :
plip1: wrong header octet
checksum error
When I looked into plip.c, I found some comments, saying " The protocol
has changed" and "The protocol has to be changed back".
Can I hope for compatible PLIP soon?

Wolfgang

I seem to have a similar problem. Sometimes I can't telnet, ftp, or
rlogin into Linux box. Sometimes there is a huge delay before login
prompt shows up. It just hangs there with connected message. During the
time I can't login, it doesn't seem to get emails either. I suspect that
there are bugs in TCP/IP, inet, or NE2000 driver. I tried a SMC ultra
card. It was worse than NE2000.
Once I get in if I'm lucky, there is no problem getting emails.
BTW, telnet, ftp, and rlogin from Linux to outside machine is no
problem. The problem is there only when I try to get into Linux.
Strange....
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Subject: PTY bug?
From: newt@eng.umd.edu (Daniel S. Ridge)
Date: 24 Mar 1994 17:52:02 GMT
Is there a bug in the kernal pty handling that would keep me from running
SLIP over a pty line?
I have been unable to do this. The symptom is that if I start a SLIP
session on a pty line, I am unable to connect to any of the ports on the
server machine (not just from my machine, but from any machine. I can't even
sit down at the console of the server and telnet loopback. It prints "login:"
and then immediatly closes the connection.
Has anyone else had this problem? Will I not be able to SLIP over a pty line?
Thanks,
Dan Ridge

Well I can boot 1.0p2 or p4 and it does not work. I reboot with 1.0 and
it works. More I do not know at the moment, what could I look for?

**** I did this. Unfortunately, I didn't have space on my Sun workstation
to hold both
the tarred file and the directories. So I wound up getting the stuff all over
again,
directory by directory.
I dreamt of a script that would activate FTP, tell it to get slackware.tar,
and pipe its
output straight up to tar on my machine, which would then spew out files and
directories.
Probably an impossible dream......

Subject: Are ADDTRON AE-200LC/JL network cards supported?
From: bmyers@dseg.ti.com (Bob Myers)
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 1994 20:41:59 GMT
I've just seen the ad for getting these cards at $19/29 respectively (limited 2
cards per customer).
Would they both work with the .99p15 and above kernels, since they are NE2000
clones? Likewise,
since the AE-200JL is software configurable vs the AE-200LC's hardware
jumpered, is there a utility
to configure it (or others that are software configurable)?
thanks
bob
p.s. ad was in March '94 edition of LAN magazine, page 77

BTW:
What could it be to watch *all* possible errors during bootup ?
To put a line like:
trap 'echo -e "rc: status -- $?\ngoing single user .."; /bin/sh' 1 2
probably in every /etc/<whatever_is_executed> (rc, rc.local, rc.(i)net)
I'm shure there are better solutions ?

I'm suprised only one of the postings in this thread mentions mirror.
Its perfect! Run it every month and it collects only the files that have
changed. Picks up where it left off if interrupted. Don't leave home
without it :-)
