Ok, I am a relatively new user of Microport's Unix, so please bear with a few *VERY* childish questions regarding its use... 1. I am using the machine on a 386 with 2 meg of ram and a 60 meg drive. The machine has two com ports. Herin lies my first and second problem. The com 1 port has a hayes compatable modem up on it running at 2400 baud. I would like to use it for bi-directional communications. I used the ttyM00 in the inittab and that sets my modem correctly. All works fine until I attempt to use kermit. I set to /dev/ttyM00 and I get a protection violation. If I use root to change the protection I can call out. Unfortunately, after completing my communication, the modem does not reset. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? 2. My com2 port is wired with a null modem to an AT&T 7300 running UN*X. How can I get bi-directional communications between the two? I tried using a uugetty and that allows me to communicate with the 7300. When the 7300 tries to talk to me, the first time it works ok. After that, however, my machine isn't killing off the lockfile and the 7300 cannot communicate again. 3. (My, don't these go on forever) I own a 3com lan board and want to use TCPIP with it. The lan is wired via ethernet to a machine with internet access. How (if I can) can I get the inittab to spawn me a getty for the 3com board? I appreciate the help, any and all replies will be appreciated. Mitchel Ludwig KMLFUDW@vax1.cc.lehigh.edu 309 East 4th Street MFL1@Lehigh.bitnet Bethlehem, PA 18015 mludwig! (wherever here is!)

Use ttyM01 for the getty and make sure that DTR from the 386 is wired to CD on the 7300, and that DTR from the 7300 is wired to CD on the 386. Use tty01 for kermit and uucp (set line /dev/tty00 -or- tty00 in your Devices file for uucp) Do not use uugetty, it is not needed if you use the ttyMxx/ttyxx scheme. > 3.

You could port the KA9Q TCP code... :-) (Microport does not currently have drivers for the 3com board) Well, my boss has charged me with porting KA9Q to Microport V/286 using the 3c501 (ack) and the NI5210 (!!). When this get done, of course, depends upon the number of twits who call me up with questions of the form "Now where is that power switch again? I used to know where it was, but they must have moved it on me ...." -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Shuzan held out his short staff and said, "If you call this a short staff, you oppose its reality.
