All in perfect working order. It is now being replaced with a Sparc20 server, hence the sales. This is for Aussie only. regards, Wai-Yat - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 1995 20:12:10 +0300 From: Vassilis Prevelakis Subject: How to have DNS without YP (sorry NIS) To: suns-at-home@ecn.purdue.edu Hello, I am running SUNOS 4.3.1 and would like to ne able to run DNS without having to run the yellow pages as well (I only have one machine and I would like to turn off all non essential services). Has anybody else done this already? Thanks **vp - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 1995 09:19:05 +0200 (MET DST) From: Toerless Eckert Subject: monitors for a P4 CG6?

The P4 CG6 is running at 66Hz, 1152x900. This means: The monitor should have a pixel clock of 85 khz and a line frequency of 62 khz. If it's multi-sync it should have at least these values. These requirements are not demanding. From my experience every multi-sync monitor on the market should be able to do it. You shouldn'ty buy < 17 inch though as the picture is just too small. P.S.: You may want to try to find the first version of the GX demonstratio program "aviator" which is a very nice flight simulator (given the fact that it was written 1988) which only runs on GX board machines. The current version isn't working on sun3 anymore but the first public domain version was running on sun3 (and that version still had the grand canyon scenario).

You should be able to find 19" Hitachi Color monitors for about $200-$250. With some adjustment these monitors work well. They are a little expensive to ship because they weigh about 65 Lbs! - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 1995 23:20:05 -0700 (PDT) From: "Jim Murff, NIS" Subject: printers and the evil serial things To: Suns-at-Home Mailing List Hi; I have just joined this list, but I have been on the sun managers list for 4 years now. I am hoping this is a good forum for questions of a smaller scale. Do I post answer summaries to the list? Anyway here goes I checked the archives for the 1994 and 1995 but saw nothing similar to what I am looking for. . . . I have a sparcII lots of memory and disk space running Solaris 2.4 at home. I decided to go with an Okidata 410e laser (led laser) printer as an affordable alternative to sparc printers. I am curious about a few things: 1) the serial port on the printer supports up to 19.2. Anyone know how to make the printer port(/dev/term/b) work at a baud rate higher than 9600? I can't figure it out where to set it, I figure i need some stty command. I am using the hplaser terminfo entry. (I can't believe I miss the printcap!) 2.) this isn't a postscript printer but i do have ghostscript. I am unsure how the best way is to substitute or insert this into the printer path. (i.e. what files do i change so it uses ghostscript when it sees postscript). And finally, if i use ghostscript do i tell admintool that the printer is postscript or all or ?? thanks for the help/suggestions, -jim - ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
