[Paul points out that his first announcement fell during what was for
many, Christmas holidays. That's why I've accepted this dup. This is
it, though. There is a regular posting of existing mailing lists that
happens in (I believe) news.lists. I'm cross-posting this to news.groups
to be sure that the maintainer of the list of mailing lists sees it. -mod]
There is now a mailing list for discussion of INTERACTIVE Systems Corp's
UNIX(tm) 386/ix product. The list is not sponsored or controlled by
INTERACTIVE, although they have joined the mailing list.
For those who don't know, INTERACTIVE was the contractor principally
repsonsible for porting AT&T UNIX System V.3 to the 386 architecture. The
version of UNIX V.3 shipped by AT&T with their 6386 systems, by Microport
as "Microport System V/386", and Bell Technologies as "UNIX System V/386"
are all derived from the code ported by INTERACTIVE under contract to
Intel and AT&T. Therefore, much discussion about INTERACTIVE's 386/ix
product is also relevant to AT&T's, Microport's, and Bell Technologies'
80386-UNIX products. Users of these other products may find this mailing
list useful.
The mailing list is based at Vixie.UUCP, which is reachable through several
different major paths:
{ptsfa,uunet,hoptoad,qantel,ubvax,crash}!vixie!...
{ames,sun,hplabs,pyramid,ucsfmis,dual}!ptsfa!vixie!...
{well,amdahl,amdcad,academ,ihnp4,ucsfcgl}!hoptoad!vixie!...
>From the ARPAnet:
...%vixie%uunet.uu.net
"..." in the above examples can be
info-386ix-request for administrative stuff like adding names
info-386ix for submissions to the list
There are about 20 people on the list so far, and traffic is light so far. I
sent out the first announcement of this list over the Xmas holidays, so many
of you may not have seen it. I plan to post something every month or so to
catch new users of 386/ix as they pop up.
