Anyone know where that animal lives on the Internet? I am currently running slip but I hear PPP is much better.

(users can mail root, but not each other, and root can't mail the users). Does anyone have a sendmail config for a standalone machine (no domain name, no networking *at all*) that might fix this problem? (I'm not sure it's a config problem at all, but that seems most likely.) Also, has anyone had any luck with any of the SLIP packages out there (cslip, slipware, etc)? I'm not having luck setting up my sun to dial up into a non-dedicated (i.e. host name and number changes depending on which port I happen to connect to) slip "port" on a Cisco terminal server. The packages seem to support using your Sun as a slip server, but not as the "client." Ideas? Thanks, dave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1993 12:31:03 -0500 (EST) From: Steve Young Subject: SLIP / PPP To: Suns-at-Home@ecn.purdue.edu I am interested if someone could tell me what the newest (or best) release of both Slip and PPP is, as well as where to get it from. I would like to setup mutiple connections, using Sparc 2's or 10's running sunos 4.1.3. I am also curious if it would be worth making the local machine run Solaris 2.3 ? (the remote machines would still be sunos 4.1.3). Another concern is the ability for the remote machine to dial through our at&t phone system, with a version of slip-tip I have had problems making the modem pause. I am using Multitech Mt1432BA.

WABI will not run non-Windows programs, and it may have trouble with some Windows programs. If you seriously want to run MeSsy-Windows, you should get a PC, then get Solaris x86 to run Unix on it. If you seriously want to run Unix and an occasional Windows piece, then get a Sparc and run Wabi on it. It really depends on which environment you value more. But either machine can run both environments, thanks to WABI. -- Nick Sayer ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1993 16:37:32 EST From: Scanner Subject: Suns-at-Home Digest V6 #41 To: Suns-at-Home@ecn.purdue.edu > Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1993 15:58:14 -0500 > From: "That Whispering Wolf..." > Subject: Toshiba CD-ROM > To: Suns-at-Home@ecn.purdue.edu > > I recently aquired a SCSI CD-Rom drive and now have it on the SCSI chain on > my SparcStation 1+. > > On boot, I get the following message: > > esp0: data transfer overrun The key error here is this data overrun. The Sun SCSI CD ROM driver I believe expect a maximum block length of 512.. which is what the Sun CD ROM drive uses.. but almost all other cd rom drives use 2048 blocksize. I got this small program which does the trick. You need to run it before you mount a cd in a non-SUN CD-ROM drive... --Scanner (scanner@rpi.edu) /* * Run this BEFORE mounting a non-SUN CD-ROM.

Notice that your system figured out that it was a cdrom drive and made it sr0. We've used a fair number of Toshiba cdrom drives. All the other stuff looks like either cabling or termination. Check that everything is tight and either screwed in or clamped. On the 1+, "regular" passive termination should be just fine. And check that your cables aren't too long. Louis M.
