Hi there,
It's my understanding that this LAT is sort of like a Chat setup. If you want
to connect to an NT network, I would suggest using the Simba package. There is
a real good article on it in this months Linux Journal. I'm no Expert on this,
but it sounds like the way to go to me.
Yours,
I added 5 more perl files, and the next boot floppy set should run dpkg-ftp
correctly.
Thanks

In particular, I find dselect-1.2.6 much nicer than 1.2.3.
I moved it into buzz just now.
Less important, but more jarring, is that the system is installed with
kernel 2.0.0, but all the devel/ stuff is still 1.99.7.
If Simon doesn't do a 2.0 package in time, I will upload one - I built my
The Packages file for 'buzz' still references all packages to the 'unstable'

I would suggest using the Simba package.
That's samba. There's also smbfs. Samba provides file and printer
services, and a printer client to systems that run the Lan Manager protocol
over TCP/IP, which is what NT and Windows 95 use for their native network.
smbfs makes the Linux system a client
Hi,
I notice that the debian packages install man pages without

is there some way ask the install scripts to do so? I cannot just go

wait until after the 1.1 release to deal with it. For now you would

I think the last time we discussed this on the mailing lists, we
decided that there was no problem with compressed man page source.
The decompressor runs quickly, the man browsers all understand .gz
files, etc. I think that it's OK for packages to start installing
compressed man pages.

Using the Windows Fro Workgroups there is a terminal emulation/connection
software called SmarTerm that uses a LAT protocal to connect to the other
machine through the Windows NT net.
Sorry if my previous answer was off-topic. I think I was answering an
answer, not the question.
Use telnet.
LAT is a DEC protocol! There used to be a commercial package available
for unix called SuperLAT that emulated lat over TCP/IP and allowed
incoming LAT conections, but I don't know of anything available for
linux. I don't think SAMBA has LAT capabilities. It would be nice

By the way, having 7 data bits and 2 stop bits should be equivalent to
having 8 data bits without parity generation and 1 stop bit. This is
because the data bits are sent least significant bit first, and a stop
bit is the same as a zero data bit.
