I am trying to help out a new UUCP site that I'm feeding mail, because his XENIX is (1) crashing and (2) nasty, so I've convinced him he should get something nicer. The main problem is his Intelliport 8-line serial cards, does anyone have any experience getting these things up and running under a reasonably nice UN*X? Linux, BSD386, MACH, Solaris? > Ok, I doubt very seriously that it will run under Linux either, because > I have it (Grin), but I'll give you the information you requested anyways, > maybe it will help some more. Here's my total system as of now: > > 1 486/33 (Compatible). > 2 Compu-Tone Intelliport AT-8 cards (Not Intelliport II's). > 2 200 Mb Maxtor 213a hard drives > 1 Super-VGA 1024x768 Color monitor > 1 NE-2000 Ethernet card (hooked up to a network of approx. 6 PC's) > 1 SCO-Xenix Version 2.3.3 System with Developers Kit. (No TCP/IP). > > What I am looking for (Ideally): > A decent UNIX system that is BSD 4.3 compatible (or there abouts, as long > as I won't have TOO many problems trying to port software), that has a complete > development system supporting the TCP/IP family of protocols (so that we can > actually put the NE-2000 board to SOME use, it's just sitting there right now), > Something that is useful, and won't crash TOO often. The software drivers I > have for the cards now will support the following: Interactive UNIX (this > would work great, if it has everything I mentioned), SCO-UNIX, SCO-Xenix, and > AT&T UNIX. > > Your help is VERY appreciated, > Rob Shady Rob's email address is rls%snet@deep.mi.org, please mail him or me if you can help! -- "I have never loved anyone for love's sake, except, perhaps, Josephine - a little."
