One of the things he'll be using it for is calling our ether tips on campus and logging into the Suns here. Thus... I would appreciate any recommendations/ideas on: 1. 2400 baud modems 2. file transfer programs 3. terminal emulators I was just planning to get him an external, 2400 baud, Hayes compatible modem and kermit. But I thought I had better check with you people first. doug bryan bryan@sierra.stanford.edu [I'm using a SupraModem 2400 for my UUCP link to work. It's Hayes-compatible and only costs about $150 mail-order! Supra's number is (800) 727-8772. I'm not connected with Supra, but I'm pretty happy with their modem. --ddm] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Jun 88 18:42:11 EDT From: pur-ee!gatech.edu!ken (Ken Seefried iii) Subject: my new toy... To: suns-at-home@ea.ecn.purdue.edu I have agreed to buy a Sun 2/120 (fully loaded) for my personal machine, and i now have several questions about the machines. * The machine has both an SMD and SCSI controller board. Can one machine mount both SMD and SCSI disks? Is there a list of the SCSI and SMD drives that the Sun controller supports? * What does SunOS 4.0 give you that 3.5 does not? Which is better to run on a Sun 2 (4MB)? Does 4.0 have as many bugs as i have heard roumoured? * How much success have people had running some of the larger Sun programs, such as X Windows 11.2, Kyoto Common Lisp, ObjTalk, GNU, etc.? Are there any Sun programs that arent source compatable with the Sun 3? * how many people use a Sun 2 as a server for a Sun 3/50 or 3/60? With what success? * Is there an acceptable alternative memory board for the 2? I would like to free up some slots by replacing the 1MB Sun boards with 2MB or 4MB boards... * How environment sensitive are the 2's? The Sun 3 is awfully sensitive to temperature... * Has anyone had any repairs done to thier Sun by a company called Apex? What were your experiences, god or bad? Thanks for your time... ken seefried iii ...!{akgua, allegra, amd, harpo, hplabs, ken@gatech.edu inhp4, masscomp, rlgvax, sb1, uf-cgrl, ccastks@gitvm1.bitnet unmvax, ut-ngp, ut-sally}!gatech!ken soon to be open: ...!gatech!spooge!ken (finally ;'}) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Jun 88 09:28:11 EDT From: pur-ee!umix.cc.umich.edu!rich%sendai.uucp Subject: Suns-at-Home Digest V1 #15 To: Suns-at-Home%mckay.uucp%ee.ecn.purdue.edu%umix.uucp@umix.cc.umich.edu >From umix!ee.ecn.purdue.edu!mckay.uucp!sah Sat Jun 18 12:51:32 1988 remote from oxtrap Date: Sat, 18 Jun 88 09:21:04 EST From: Dwight D.
