Hi Kathy
Could you explain that setup. I have recently "aquired" an old SunSparc IPC
workstartion. It was to be thrown out. It's has a 40mhz chip, 32mb memory
and I think 500-600mb hard disk (I need to check that), a cdrom drive, tape
drive, 16" colour monitor etc. It runs Solaris 2.3. Apparently that's full
of holes so the OS needed to be upgraded if it was to stay on the Uni
network. "They" said it needed a hardware upgrade and software upgrade...
but of course it's old and not worth upgrading.
While I've been using Unix for a few years, I've never had my own to mess
up so I jumped at the chance. I did find out that RedHat have a suitable
version of Linux that would run on the hardware (I did find a couple of
others also).
Anyway... all this hardware in so small a space is starting to get very
messy and my wife wants the kitchen table back! The actual stack of little
Sun boxes is not to hard to relocate but the monitor is huge, and I've just
got my new hub... so I was hoping to connect to the Sparc via the network
and use an emulator on a Win (or Mac) machine to talk to the Solaris
OpenWindows engine. Is this possible?? (Yes, I know I can just telnet and
use a unix shell as I do on several other remote sites). I'll eventually
replace the software with RedHat but for the moment I'l play with this
setup.
thanks
Bruce
