I turned the power up and waited for the system to boot. I noticed right away that my monitor was not showing signs of life. What it is showung is a flashing Green Led in the front...

With the built-in UART and drivers, I can use it with on problem at 19200, but at 38400 the machine sometimes just freezes completely (I don't even get a 'silo' overflow error). Maybe is it possbile to find a board or a SCIS device that would make life easier ? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 May 94 09:46:18 EDT From: "David Lawrence Oppenheimer" Subject: Seeking SLIP, printing information To: suns-at-home@ecn.purdue.edu I have two questions about setting up a Sun (SS5 in this case): (1) I would like to use SLIP as my network connection. I currently am using SLIP on a Macintosh. I have a modem, and a cable which connects the modem to the Mac serial port. What additional hardware and/or software will I need to use SLIP with the Sun? Does the SS5 have SLIP built into the kernel? Does it come with software to dial and establish the SLIP link? (2) I have an AppleTalk PostScript printer (Apple Personal LaserWriter NT) which I would like to use with my Sun. Do I need any special cables and/or software to use this printer? Can I use a non-Appletalk PostScript printer (like the LaserWriter Select 310) with the Sun? Many thanks.
