Well, the South American Super Beings are at it again, and God only knows what's happening. We have five 3B2's running Wollongong TCP/IP sitting in the Public Access Workstation Lab at RPI and we want to run RFS -- matter of fact we want to try to install it next weekend. Now, we've tried this before. Always SOMETHING weird has happened. So I'm asking for any tips, do's, dont's, advice, "OH-MY-GOD-YOU-DID-_WHAT?!?!?_"s, anything.... what we're going to be working with is: Five 3B2/300s, all with 2Mb of RAM, 72Mb of disk, one Ports card and one NI card. They're all on the same subnet, all running AT&T Unix System V Release 3.1. Wollongong TCP/IP for SysV Release _____2.0_____ . I have a feeling this may be affecting our chances, but I read somewhere that the TLI _is_ supported with this. At least one good set of RFS disks. We may have more. BUT one thing I remember being plagued by last time we tried this is bad disks... So... can anyone out there offer any kind advice? Most importantly, can anyone out there authoritatively say "Yes, this is possible" or "No, this won't work?" And a couple of other questions while I'm at it: 1) Can a 3B2 support more than one NI card? 2) Is there any GOOD alternative to Wollongong TCP/IP that comes with source? Please email responses to >>>>kgh@pawl.rpi.edu<<<<. This is NOT my normal reply-to. (I changed it in this posting, hope it works correctly.) Reason, well, right now sendmail is screwed around here too.... <sigh> We're working on it. Really. [ :) ] Thanks in advance!!!!! - Flynn Kevin Lincoln Flynn flynn@anyguay.acm.rpi.edu, userfwvl@mts.rpi.edu 2151 12th Street H (518) 273-6914 W (518) 447-8561 Troy, NY 12180 ...Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.

Well, I got two replies dealing with the couple more questions, but the bit
before them is FAR more important!!!! What we _REALLY NEED TO KNOW_ is about
RFS installation... please! Somebody! Help us out!!! Puhleeeeeeze! [ :) ]
Equipment is five 3B2/300s running SysV R3.1, using Wollongong TCP/IP for
-->>>SysV R2.0<<<--.
Again, thanks in advance and sorry for the pretty-much-a-repost.
