- I managed to get tip to work, but what term type do I tell the Sun I'm
- using? What are those "last message received XXX times" errors about?
-
- Anybody got kermit 5a (?) going? Is the vt10[02] emulation good?
- Is there a better term program? MS-Kermit is very nice, but I hope to
- be leaving that behind.
-
- rz gets *lots* of checksum errors with my 9600 modem. The modem is
- doing error correction, so that I don't think *that's* the problem.
- Is BSD too slow to keep up? Will a 16550 (?) UART help?
-
- extract complained that it couldn't find src01.install. Why not?
- Should I worry? Why isn't extract a script so that I can fix it when
- it breaks?
-
- I understand why a real crypt wasn't included, but Linux has one.
- Shouldn't it be easy to plug it in? What will have to be recompiled
- besides login, su, & passwd? (crypt, I guess:-)
-
- Oops, one more. I've got a DCA ethernet card; I don't know anything
- else about it. It's not recognized on boot-up. Is there any chance
- that I can do something easy or am I likely SOL?
