We are running some of those XStation 120 pizza-boxes connecting to a RISC/6000 320 via thin-wire ethernet. Trying to get an xterm (et. al.) from our HP-Boxes (HP-UX 7.0) displaying on these "displays" we don`t get nothing. Our PC/RTs display just great, so it won`t be a matter of disabled access (we do a xhost +). Did anybody on the net solve this or similar ? 802.3 ?!?) ? Btw., did anybody experience a speedup of this boxes using their "native" fonts instead of those in the AIXWindows-Distribution? As always... ANY help will be aprecciated Martin -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Kai Martin Mezger BITNET: mezger%dia%ifistg@unido.bitnet, | | or MEZGER AT DS0LILOG.BITNET | |Student local: mezger@dia | |Universitaet Stuttgart UUCP: ...!uunet!unido!ifistg!dia!mezger | |BR Deutschland Internet: mezger@dia.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de | | X.400: mezger@dia.ifi.informatik.uni-stuttgart.dbp.de | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Yes, we saw a dramatic increase in performance. The 'x_st_mgr' doesn't seem to handle font paths correctly, though, so you will probably need to create a single font directory for the Xstation. Concerning the question about handling the 802.3, which version of the software do you have loaded? A month or two back I received an update to the 'x_st_mgr' that was supposed to have fixed (or possibly enabled 802.3). It should be the same as on the 3001 update. Since we are not running on thin, I can't tell you if it works. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chris McCoy : INTERNET: mccoy@acn.purdue.edu UNIX Systems Programmer : UUCP: ...!ecn-ee!mccoy Ag.

However, we did experience problems connecting an X-terminal (actually an emulation running on a PC) and a System V.3 host to a System V.4 host. Apparently, the V.4 system required to setup a socket number for X in the "services" file. I am not sure whether it is your problem but it is worth checking out. -- Peter Yeung Amdahl Canada Ltd., Software Development Center 2000 Argentia Road, Plaza 2, Suite 300 Mississauga, Ont.

The documentation I received with my Xstation software upgrade specifically states "supports IEEE 802.3 protocol". The update version is listed as 3001. To request the hardware upgrade, the documentation suggests contacting IBM-SERV or remarketer and requesting "ECA 001" for the Xstation. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chris McCoy : INTERNET: mccoy@acn.purdue.edu UNIX Systems Programmer : UUCP: ...!ecn-ee!mccoy Ag.

I noticed that the default DISPLAY setting is unix:0. This would not work with my ISC unix box. When I changed the 6000 DISPLAY to sabus:0 (hostname = sabus) all was right. Remote xterms called up from the PC to the 6000 work as expected now. -- Tim Brown | Computer Connection | uunet!seaeast.wa.com!comcon!tim |
