Is there an archive where Simon Hackett could look for it? If you have one, you could put it in the next digest as a summer rerun :-). @alex [ Yes, for those yurning for back issues of Suns-at-Home, we have an archive server. Send a mail message to "suns-at-home-archives". The server is pretty simple minded and looks for a very limited set of keywords in the BODY (not the subject line) of the message. Alexander's experiences with Sun2 memory can be found in Vol1.issue25. Sending a note the the archive server with a line in the BODY of the message which reads "send DIGESTS/vol1.issue25" will cause the server to mail you a copy. --ddm ] ------------------------------ Date: Sun Aug 6 01:37:28 1989 From: sir-alan!mikes@uunet.uu.net Subject: Sun 386i at home To: suns-at-home@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu I am receiving on August 14 a Sun 386i-250 which I'll run at home. The system has the 330MB HD, 60MB tape, and 8MB of memory. It is currently running under SunOS 4.01. I will be connecting it (hopefully) to a RS 4000LX running SCO XENIX V 386 2.3.2 and SCO's X/NFS/TCP-IP software and a Mac with an Ethernet board and NCSA Telnet 2.3. I have considerable experience with XENIX but little with a real UNIX system and none with Ethernet. Any hints/boobytrap warnings would be greatly appreciated. The XENIX system supports a public access archive site with a nearly complete set of comp.sources.[unix,misc] holdings plus a lot of other miscellaneous things. Phone numbers are 814 337 0348 (1200/2400 now, going to USR HST + V.32 on September 1) and 814 337 3159 (2400-9600 (Telebit TB+)). Logins are "uucp" and "pdsrc", no passwords (indexes in /usr/spool/uucppublic/FILES and /usr/spool/pdsrc/all.subjects respectively). Michael L.
