Several weeks ago I posted an article asking for recommendations,
experiences, horror stories, miraculous tales, and otherwise
trying to get information about Eunice and The Wollongong
Group. Unfortunately, at about the same time my uucp connectivity
was changing. I received no replies, and have seen zero traffic
in this newsgroup as well. Hopefully the shifting sands of
uucp connections caused the numerous replies to go into the
bit bucket (does it have a little shovel?).
Anyway, once again I would like to ask for your impressions
of Eunice (especially Release 4.2, which of course is derived
from 4.1bsd), if you ran into any problems other than subtle
ones caused by depending on particular underlying assumptions
which aren't handled well (such as hard links & reference counts).
I am also MORE than merely interested in your experiences with
The Wollongong Group itself, their technical support and
responsiveness (or lack of it).
Please send email to the UUCP address below. If you can't,
and can send hard copy to me at:
Eric Black
P. O. Box 308
La Honda, CA 94020
even if just a quick note on a postcard, I promise to do something
nice for you someday (maybe you'll have a thorn in your paw...).
At this point, I don't even know if anybody out there even
reads this newsgroup any more. I sure would like to get information
from a source OTHER than the list of hand-picked customer
references from TWG.
Moby thanks!

If you can, read the manual that they send along with it, several times. VMS is bizarre, Unix is simple so that makes Eunice Simply bizarre. It's a wierd feeling in that environment. I don't know about links yet, but if you have any other questions, just ask away and I'll see what I can do. But again as long as you have it set up right, (that might be the entire problem, you may never get it right!!) it works. I support two sites, and we are working on getting a third. > >At this point, I don't even know if anybody out there even >reads this newsgroup any more.

I posted here, just in case we can get more discussions going .... mark -- {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!edwards UW-Madison, 1210 West Dayton St., Madison WI 53706
