Success! In less than 30 hours elapsed time (including sleep and travel), we managed to get the moore system converted from a Spectrix to a Sun SparcServer. Moving >200 user accounts, directories and mail and reconfiguring 30-odd terminal devices and hooking up a X.25 multi- port PAD and a few modems wasn't so bad after all. A couple of old HP LaserJet printers are giving us trouble, they like 8-N-1 parity and the Sun like 7-E-1, but everything else (including a LaserJet II) is humming along nicely. UUCP connections seem to be ok, and C News (thanks, Evan!) is up and running waiting for the first news batches to come. This message will see if I managed to get sendmail and smail (thanks, bdb!) to agree on how to deliver mail off-site to an alias. That's it for now. I'll type ^d and see if this gets out to the world (or at least our corner of it).
