AT&T offers a VMEbus CPU board that is 100% software compatible with our 3B2 computers (and all that applications software). In effect, you can build your own "3B/VME". Performance rivals systems at 2-3 times the price. Also included are an MMU and fast math accelerator chip. UNIX System V/VME, also offered by AT&T, is the ONLY AT&T version of System V developed and tuned for the VMEbus environment. You can get a nice technical (as opposed to marketing hype) package of information by calling 1-800-372-2447. Marc Harrison AT&T, Holmdel, NJ ...!ihnp4!houxl!mlh

Very soon our site will be changeing from a VAX 11/780 to a VAX 8700. Talking to DEC, we were told that BSD 4.3 will not run on the new computer. Is that true? I have a staff meeting comeing up on tuesday, and at that time we will be talking about what UNIX we will need, BSD or DEC. -- _ _ _ __ ' ) ) ) / /) / ` / /) Michael Enkelis / / / o _. /_ __. _ // /-- __ /_ _ // o _ tektronix!vice!michaele / ' (_(_(__/ /_(_(_(<_(/_ (___, /) )_/ <_(<_(/_(_/_)_ (503) 627-4099

Our department wants to buy a FAX in the $1000-$3000, any recommendations ? A feature that I thought would be very useful is the ability to submit a transmission via computer instead of just scanning pieces of paper in. Apparently some PC-based FAX setups will do this and other standalone FAX's like the Canon's have some facility for this feature but the options aren't clear (which was surprising to me). It seems that in most presently available machines, one would have to do the ASCII text to FAX encoding and compression. Is this true ? Does someone have the necessary programs ? Basically, you should be able to type in a FAX memo or doc on your UNIX terminal (or SUN workstation) and send it off like Internet/USENET mail. Please email me responses/suggestions. Thanks.

This service is available from AT&T Mail (just like sending to any other kind of mail endpoint: PC packages, TELEX, paper via US mail or messenger, voice (telephone) delivery etc. etc.). You register your UNIX(R) gateway machine with AT&T Mail (1-800-MAIL672) and enter the AT&T Mail gateway in your uucp tables as "attmail". This is a commercial service, and the 1-800-MAIL672 number will also tell you their current prices. Once your gateway is known to attmail, you will be able to send UNIX mail to attmail for any kind of delivery. For example, I use the following script/function to send a letter formatted with -mm via FAX: NUMBER=$1;ATTENTION=$2;shift;shift (echo "To: attmail!fax!$NUMBER(/$ATTENTION)";\ nroff -mm -rL60 -rW65 $@ | col -bx)|\ /bin/mail attmail!dispatcher where $1 is the destination FAX number (in international format, such as 1-201-957-5159, since AT&T Mail will deliver anywhere in the world) and $2 is a string describing, to the destination's FAX operator, the recipient of your letter - for example, "Adam_V._Reed,_Room_3F-441".

"- a message handling facility, which provides a means of translating
system messages to the user's native language"
"- support for national conventions (forms and rules used to
communicate information)"
I know that because of the above there will be an additional
environment variable. I would be glad to learn more from someone
who has a "Migration Guide" before her/him. As it is where the
leaflet redirects me.
Thank you in advance,
