My original question:For the first I have to deal with a lost hard disk on a file server,a Celerity. Yes, not Sun, but since we have changed our environmentto a "mostly Sun" network after we had had this Celerity, I am nowleaning toward getting external disk on Sun, rather than ...

In response to my query concerning WORM drives (see bottom for copy ofmy question), The basic consensus was that I should check with myvendor :-(I have discovered that an ls -R will chew up disk space. I guessbecause the access times are being updated. WOW! my FM never saidanything about ...

There seems to be a great deal of confusion, especially within Sun, aboutwhether or not drag and drop and selections are implemented with ToolTalkin OpenWindows 3.0. From the replies I received, I now strongly believethat the answer is no.ToolTalk is used, however, for attachments on the ...

To recap the problem, enabling hardware (rts/cts) flow controlin tip (by adding the hf capability) causes tip to fail with"can't synchronize with hayes". Digging a little further itappeared that hw flow control requires the presence of dcdbefore tip can carry on a dialog with the ...

Sun-Managers;OK, here's my summary about using Hewlett Packard LaserJet-II' as a PostScriptprinter on Sun machines.It works :-)HP LaserJet-II's don't nativly support PostScript so a "PostScript cartridge"has to be purchased to permit the printer to interpret PostScript data. ...

 got a lot of responses to my request for a Newsprint driver for the HP Deskjet 500c, but all were of the form "Pls send me any info you get." One thought that Newsprint 2.0 had it, but the info we got here from Sun was that only the non-colour 500 is supported in ...

Well, that will teach me to post to sun-managers without giving enough localsite information. I discovered two things: 1) very few people actuallyknow very much about the technical issues involved, as they are esotericand occasionally counter-intutive; 2) this is as divisive an issue here asit ...
