I have some problems getting NFS to work. Two other things I like to see discussed are connection speed (is 9600 baud maximum or will 19200 or even higher work?) and routines for keeping two filetrees (one at work and one at home) in sync over the slip connection.

By which I mean, it stops echoing the keyboard and stops tracking the mouse. It's driving me nuts! Basicly, make sure that nothing is using, or wants to use any IP addr other than the 'loopback' interface. This should be pretty simple to do by making sure that NETWORKED=no is in /etc/net.conf. Also, make sure that the IP address assigned to `hostname` is 127.0.0.1, anything else and you're inviting trouble for standalone operation. e.g. 127.0.0.1 localhost my-host-name loghost #192.200.2.1 my-host-name in /etc/hosts, or wherever the 386i keeps that information. (Actually, its probably in a YP map.)

Richard Magill) Subject: Suns-at-Home Digest V1 #6 To: Vaughan Pratt Anyone on this list using slip at home? I am, and I'm looking for others in the same boat to trade notes with. I tried. but between a 3.5-3/50 and a sequent balance (with two trailblazers between) there seemed to be a real problem passing packets. felt like the slow gateway retransmission problem. I haven't tried between 2 4.0-3/50's which is my next step. The real kicker is that I get super uucp throughput with the tb's so I'm almost reluctant. The only thing slip would really buy my is X from work. On the other hand, most of what I do there, I can do here so... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Apr 89 09:36:19 PDT From: pur-ee!Xerox.COM!weiser.pa Subject: Suns-at-Home Digest V1 #6 To: Suns-at-Home@mckay.uucp I use slip at home, on a Sun-3/60 running sunos 4.0, to a sun-4/260 at work (PARC), over a Codex 9600 baud true-full-duplex modem. -mark ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
