Has anyone seen or gotten a SLIP implimentation up and running on an
AUX machine? I have a Sun and AUX machine but the boss is too cheap
to get the ethernet card for the Mac :-) Please send mail and I'll
post to the net if anything significant happens. Thanks,

Thanks, This brings up a question that I haven't seen answered (implicitly or explicitly) in the announcements and articles about AUX; does it support NFS or RFS? (TCP/IP?), etc. -- __ Joshua Stein Pacific Bell "Neat Stuff!!" / --) koo koo ka choo the usual generic disclaimer goes here /\ ) ) (415) 823-2411 uucp:{ihnp4,dual}!phyf!josh | \/ \

(TCP/IP?), etc. According to a pamphlet prepared by Apple for an A/UX demonstration at Northeastern U. last week, A/UX supports NFS and Yellow Pages, TCP/IP (using the source code from 4.2 and 4.3), and more. Workstation connectivity looks like a very strong trait in A/UX' personality. -- Gerald <gerald@grn.umb.edu> ------------ Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim or modified copies of this opinion, as long as this permission notice is preserved.

(TCP/IP?), etc. A/UX currently includes support for both TCP/IP and NFS (at least at BSD 4.2 level - actually by direct quote SysV with BSD extension - enough BSD extension to get NFS, TCP, and most of the other Berkeley goodies to work.

(TCP/IP?), etc. Version 1.0 of A/UX has B-NET (TCP/IP), NFS, and YP in it. It comes with ftp and telnet as well. I don't know what RFS is so I don't know if A/UX has it.... :-). I've used NCSA telnet and the U of M CITI MacIP stuff to log on to my A/UX boxes from my MacOS MacII, and I've used NFS to mount directories from one A/UX box to another. As I get the time, I plan on setting up a YP server....Hope this helps. >-- > __ >Joshua Stein Pacific Bell "Neat Stuff!!" / --) koo koo ka choo >the usual generic disclaimer goes here /\ ) ) >(415) 823-2411 uucp:{ihnp4,dual}!phyf!josh | \/ \ -- Jim Kateley UUCP: {sun, voder, nsc, mtxinu, dual}!apple!kateley S,P,HnS!

My impression from using A/UX is that it is SysV (streams) based with
TCP/IP and NFS using streams. Since I didn't have anything on a net to
use for a test I am going by the fraction of the manuals I was able to
read in a weekend.
A/UX is *huge*. The version we got was shipped on an 80MB disk, leaving
about 15MB for the user. A 2nd hard disk is really needed, since I
haven't heard that Apple will be shipping on anything larger than 80MB.
Warning: I used A/UX for a weekend, these are my impressions from what I
did and read.
