Re: low-cost/low-speed HDLC WAN card

I'm back again looking for a low-cost, 128 kbits/sec WAN card, even ISA, single-port with HDLC V.35/X.21/V.11/EIA530. I need this to drive leased-line links in France. etinc.com's got a 10-year-old model 5025 ISA card but it's $475 and 2 megabits. We use two now in our ISP and it

Re: Frustration with SCSI system

Ideally, I would use one of the IDE flash-based drives on the market. One brand is SanDisk, and they take a standard IDE connector and fit into a 3.5" drive bay. You can get them very reasonably priced up to 128MB or so, which is just fine for a boot partition. Since flash drives have no

Converting Sun Automounter maps

I've stumbling into the wonderful world of auto-mounting, and trying to convert some maps from a Sun box to the FreeBSD format. I have amd.conf set up OK as per the man page, but keep on getting errors when changing into the relevant directorys (like amd can't find an appropriate match). Has

Re: Executable packages (long, sorry)

Hmm... While I will not be contributing to this project, I wanted to remember everyone that the source code for UnixWare's packaging utility is available in Skunkware. FWIW, he Unixware stuff is very similar to Jordan's packaging utilities, in fact it has the same limitations. One thing I did

[book] how compatible are FreeBSD and Advanced Programming in the UNIX ...?

Hi I am a fair C programmer, and would like to start developing under FreeBSD; would you consider the classic «Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment», by W. Richard Stevens to be a good choice for a programming book? Does current FreeBSD programming differ much from the "generic" UNIX

Re: [book] how compatible are FreeBSD and Advanced Programming in the UNIX ...?

Thus spake John Lispton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): programming described in the book? Or can I rest assured that the book contents apply well to FreeBSD? Yes, the book explains everything on 4.3BSD, so everything applies to FreeBSD as well. Of course, FreeBSD (and the other BSD's, too) have had

Re: [book] how compatible are FreeBSD and Advanced Programming in the UNIX ...?

That book is actually quite BSD-specific - it would be a wonderful choice. The FreeBSD installation contains a package of the libraries from that book! Good luck! +--- John Lispton wrote: | | Hi | | I am a fair C programmer, and would like to start developing under FreeBSD; | would you

SCSI tape speed

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who uses DAT drives on a DPT SCSI controller, preferrably with FreeBSD 4.1 and an Intel system. I find the speed is very slow, and I know in the past these drives were fine with FreeBSD, though I can't remember which release now. With my most recent
