As a total newcomer to the ATT unix-pc scene, I have several (probably basic, boring, and simple) questions to ask. Is the 68010 based unix PC what is also known as a 3b1 ? What kind of hard drives are inside (scsi, st506) ? Does this thing have an internal modem (and uucp runs nicely on it?) ? Is maintenance info (i.e. schematics) available anywhere ? (maybe some kind soul on the net who has them could contact me). Thanks Tom -- Tom Trebisky ttrebisky@as.arizona.edu (Internet) Steward Observatory University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona

I've already responded by e-mail, but don't you think that we should go back to the monthly posting of the FAQ file? There may be those who could benefit from it who haven't ftp access, and can't yet fathom the esoterica of setting up uucp, especially in such a way as to deal with the Micom switch. (Not to mention that they don't know the FAQ is out there, nor how to access it, unless they've read the FAQ :-) Thanks DoN. -- Donald Nichols (DoN.) | Voice (Days): (703) 664-1585 D&D Data | Voice (Eves): (703) 938-4564 Disclaimer: from here - None | Email: <dnichols@ceilidh.beartrack.com> --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero ---

I second this. I got a 7300 for me poor mother (who is 1200 miles away) for use at her business, and I end up doing a lot of "remote support", much of which is covered in the FAQ list. have fun gak ** Richard Stueven attmail!gak gak@corp.sun.com ** ** Monday is a work day, Tuesday's much the same ** ** Wednesday comes and goes away, Thursday's back again - Madness ** -------------------Go Rangers!-------------------Go Sharks!-------------------

There may be those who I second this idea wholeheartedly. In some postings I saw references to the FAQ, and kept wondering why I never see it posted. (I have been reading this newsgroup/comp.sys.att/unix-pc.general for several months now). Please, some kind soul, let us have monthly FAQ posting. Thank you, and best regards.

I can't update osu-cis, but I can keep the list up to date (with your kind contributions, of course) and post monthly. I'll send Lenny a note and see what we can come up with, or see if there are any other volunteers. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andy Heffernan $BJ8;z(J uunet!glyph!ahh
