- I recently picked up two 7300's. I gave the better one to my girlfriend,
- including the manual set, since the purpose of this purchase was for her to
- learn about Unix system management. I kept the little (1MB RAM, 10MB disk)
- system for myself.
-
- ua and the rest of the Office has been flushed from the little system, and the
- development stuff (and certain essentials such as emacs and kermit) installed
- in its place. So it's a little hacker system, with about 2MB of free disk
- space. That's OK; I have a NeXT for my real work. But, it turns out that
- there is actually some useful work to put the 7300 to do here, so it won't
- just be gathering dust.
-
- Now the questions:
- 1) Does anyone have an extra copy of the User's Manual (the one with sections
- 1, 2, and 3 of the Unix manual) that they are willing to sell? I tried
- calling AT&T to order a copy. They had a good laugh. There's enough
- differences between SysV and the BSD clone that the NeXT runs that the
- NeXT man pages aren't all that helpful. I wouldn't mind getting a copy
- of whatever manual has sections 5 and 8 as well.
-
- 2) I have incoming modem access working, but outgoing isn't working. I'm
- trying to use kermit for this. Here's what happens:
- $ kermit
- C-Kermit, 4E(070) 29 Jan 88, AT&T System III/System V
- Type ? for help
- C-Kermit>set modem-dialer att7300
- C-Kermit>set line /dev/ph0
- C-Kermit>set speed 1200
- /dev/ph0: 1200 baud
- C-Kermit>dial 5551212
- dialing:5551212 on line:/dev/ph0 at 1200 baud, speed:1200
- Sorry, connection not made. Error status: -7
- C-Kermit>
-
- 3) I also had trouble making the RS232 port work, but I fixed it by shorting
- DTR (pin 20) to CD (pin 8). Is there some reason why it insists upon
- seeing Carrier Detect? Is this to keep the line from running open?
-
- 4) Has anyone successfully ported teco to the 7300? The emacs I have is
- microemacs which isn't quite adequate for all editing needs. I tried
- porting the GenRad Ultrix teco but ran up against too many BSD/SysV
- incompatibilities, mostly in terminal ioctl()s. I tried commenting them
- out and got something built, but the resulting binary wouldn't accept any
- input.
-
- 5) Is there an FAQ, and where is it located?
-
- Please respond via e-mail.
