Hi, I'm using ESIX System V release 3.2 Rev. D. and it is a 2-user version. I could not get tty01 (2nd serial port) working. I got tty00 working as terminal and I got tty00 working as a mouse port too, but not tty01. I would like to use tty01 and hook it up with a terminal. Is it because of the 2-user version that it doesn't allow more than 1 tty?? What is the solution if I want to connect 4 terminals and at any one time, no more than 2 user are going to log in. So I guess it won;t violate the license. Thanks very much for any help. Ray

You should run "initasy" to fully configure the ports, by default the second serial port is turned off. > Is it because of the 2-user version that it doesn't allow >more than 1 tty??

Well..... you can have four terminals, but only one can have a login at a time. The 2 user version goes like this: As many logins as you want on the console + 1 out side login (terminal, modem, tcp/ip). -- Jeff Ellis ESIX SYSTEM/V UUCP:uunet!zardoz!everex!jde Internet: everex!jde%zardoz.uucp@ics.uci.edu

I think someone might want to audit the ESIX prompts and messages before
shipping the product. The following warning comes up when starting initasy:
WARNING: This program only allow youto keep the PREVIOUS asy setup
but the ORIGINAL one. (ex. space.c save as .space.sv)
Now I'm sure the engineer who wrote this is a fine engineer, but it is
important to have someone with FULL control of the english language
verify anything which will be displayed as text to the user.
I must say I'm not entirely sure what the warning really means. Some copy
of space.c will be saved off, I suspect, but the wording of the "sentence"
makes it difficult to know which...

What happens is it makes one backup of the space.c, so if you run it again it will overwrite the saved version. -- Jeff Ellis ESIX SYSTEM/V UUCP:uunet!zardoz!everex!jde Internet: everex!jde%zardoz.uucp@ics.uci.edu

This warning message is similar in its grasp of the English language as many other comments and messages scattered throught the Esix dist- ribution. I would agree with you; it is a rather simple change and makes for a much cleaner looking product. derek -- Derek "Tigger" Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG -- U of MN Women's Lax I am the way and the truth and the light, I know all the answers; don't need your advice. -- "I am the way and the truth and the light" -- The Legendary Pink Dots
