Thanks to all who responded. I down loaded a copy of dialup PPP (dp-2.3). Everything compiled OK. The modload appears to work fine and the dp deamon appears to start fine but nothing works. I am clueless as to what I have wrong in my configuration. Below is a diagram of the connection I am attempting to set up. |-------------------------- | LAN 130.252.54.0 ----|------- -------------- |130.245.54.6| | 486 PC | | | | DOS 6.0 | | Sun |130.252.54.99 PPP 130.252.54.100 | FTP INC. | | |---------------------------------------| | | | (null modem) | | ------------ -------------- The PC is running the FTP corp's implementation of PPP. I have a data scope hooked up and can see the PC attempting to make a connection with the Sun but the Sun does not respond. Can someone give me an example of what the configuration files should look like for this configuration. Oh, by the way, This configuration works using SLIP, so it is not a bad async port or other bad hardware. The async port I use for slip is /dev/cua0. I assume that is the port I should use for PPP, but let me know if that is not the case. Hope this enough info to work on. Any advice is appreciated.

The box with the Toshiba has an extra scsi adapter, so I want to put a quantum prodrive 80s in it, and have not been having success. Is there anything special I need to do to the prodrive to get it recognized? Do I need to pull the terminators out? The 80s is currently at scsi id 4, and I have all scsi support compiled in the kernel. Thanks.

I have a supply of both 1MB and 4MB boards. Thanks. Ken ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jan 1994 08:07:06 +0600 From: lacoursj@uprc.com (Jeffrey D. LaCoursiere) Subject: wanting slip or cslip for sun3/50 To: suns-at-home@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu I have compiled csn cslip into my sun3/50 kernel, but upon reboot the slip interfaces don't appear with ifconfig -a. I am wondering if there are people running slip on such machine with 4.1.1; if so, please point me in the direction of the package you are using! Please email me directly, as I am not a member of the mailing list. Thanks, Jeff LaCoursiere ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 1994 10:33:14 -0600 (CST) From: "Anthony A.

If you think these puppies are a bottleneck on a Sun, try using them on a Convex machine 8^) >Can someone tell me which of the the various jumpers on my Sun's Maxtor >drive set the SCSI ID number, and how determine a jumper configuration for >a particular SCSI number? It varies from disk to disk. Look for three jumpers together, often labeled as "ID0 ID1 ID2" or such. Configuration is usually just a binary representation of the desired ID. If you know what it's set to now, that can help you find the jumpers. ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
