If we do get an A/UX machine it would be used primarily for mail and news.
Thus we would need to bring up rn (and maybe other news programs?) without
much work. Does the A/UX distribution come with rn? If not, how easy is it
to get it running? What about all of the uucp stuff?
Has anyone gotten Hayes-compatible modems working as dial-in devices? My
(possibly flawed) understanding is that 2400 bps models won't work right.
I believe this problem is endemic to all SysV based systems. If you have
a dial-in line working, what modem are you using?
Thanks in advance,

It was extremely easy. I was very surprised since I couldn't get it to work at all on a Vaxstation II (Ultrix 2.2) or a ATT 3B2/310 (V 2.0.5). andrew

That should've been Ultrix 1.2 - which I believe is the problem... aem a.e.mossberg - aem@mthvax.miami.edu - aem@mthvax.span (3.91) Democracy becomes a government of bullies, tempered by editors. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

There's probably no need to post unless other ask as well. ---- Alexis Rosen alexis@dasys1.UUCP or alexis@ccnysci.UUCP Writing from {allegra,philabs,cmcl2}!phri\ The Big Electric Cat uunet!dasys1!alexis Public UNIX {portal,well,sun}!hoptoad/
