Yes.  It will probably be possible if you write the code.  How about a cut
down dosemu that will allow the 32-bit Novell DOS ODI drivers to load and to
be acessed from linux.  The DOS DPMI protected mode interface INT31 call
could be shamed to call the drivers from linux as a file system/TCP etc.
This will really give Novell the willies and we will not need to code an 
illegal NCP driver layer.  With a bit of optimization we could out perform
Unixware...

Cheers,

Matthew

I think you hit it on the head! I found that certain version of Lotus 
(for DOS) always return a 0 no matter what number you type (makes Lotus 
less than useful :)) when they are run on a 486SX (no math co). I 
attibuted this to the fact that the code tested 486 instructions, found 
they worked, then *assumed* a math co was present (486DX's came out 
first, nobody ever thought Intel would cripple a chip in that fashion).

You might try changing the CMOS configuration to say there is no math 
coprocessor, then recompile the program. Or, send your binary to someone 
with a 486DX to test, if it works for them, upgradde your math co (less 
than $40).

   The Modem will do the speed conversion (RTSCTS should be active) for

This doesn't seem to work, at least in my case.  When I get
connected to my university the following is the finial settings:

  Incomming --> 57600
  Outgoing  --> 14400

It seems that compression is only working one way.  I haven't figured
out if this is because somebody screwed with the university's modem
settings, or if mine are messed up.  Anyways, if I check my serial's
settings I see:

> setserial -a /dev/mode
/dev/modem, Line 0, UART: 16450, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
        Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
        Flags: spd_hi skip_test

Incidently, I'm not sure how it gets set this way, since I do:

> setserial /dev/modem spd_hi

not, setserial /dev/modem spd_vhi in my rc.local file.

Unfortunately, "divisor" is the same for outgoing and incomming.  So
there is no obvious way to drop outgoing baudrate without also
dropping incomming baudrate.  Meaning, programs have lots of serial
over-runs...  Purhaps someone could suggest a solution????

Thanks for all the suggestions on the BSD - Linux porting:

1) I checked and both links to /usr/src/linux/include ... were there.

2) Someone asked for more info,  here is some output:

======== include here =========

linux[\80]/usr/local/src/cais/tcpipi/traceroute> make
gcc    -c traceroute.lsrr.c -o traceroute.lsrr.o

======== end include stuff =======

This is one example, guess it's best to take it one step at a time.

These header files exist on other flavors of UNIX.  What am I doing wrong?

I too have a Mach64. I am using an alpha xserver downloaded from
sunsite.unc.edu called s'thing like XF_SVGA_MACH64.tgz. The server
is an initial hack at the XF86_SVGA server. There are a number of
limitations with it--nowhere near full exploitation of the mach64
hardware, but much better than the vga16 server. Some of the problems
are no accelerated support, recognizes 1MB VRAM only, not a full build.

Still, I am very happy with the card. The new alpha server makes X
workable with mach64. I suspect that full mach64 support is an
eventuality. Anyone want to confirm this ?

ATI is known to be helpful in providing info to alt. OS developers. 
It is my understanding that the person who developed the alpha server 
was able to do it in about 15 hours with docs supplied by ATI.

Summary: If you need accelerated X windows support NOW, forget about
the Mach64. If you want a card capable of fast true colour at all
resolutions up to 1280x1024, and are willing to work with SVGA at
res up to 1152x900 until a proper xserver is developed, you probably
want to consider the Mach64 GPT.

Apart from the fact that this rather belongs into c.o.l.help instead of
*.development, why would you want to do this? The DTE rate (computer to
modem and vv.) is independant of the data rate on the phone line when you
use modern modems. Plus, if you want to use v.42bis compression successfully,
you *must* set a higher DTE rate, say 38400 or more. Otherwise the V.42bis
data pump will not receive enough data per time unit to perform a 
continuous compressed data stream. In other words: as a rule of thumb, set 
the highest DTE rate your modem can stand.

In ISC, it is the shell who recognizes DOS executables (by suffix) and
calls a predefined program, something like:
alias *.exe $DOS !!:0

Of course, the LILO docs don't detail the network card parameters, they
only mention you can pass parameters to the kernel.
The NET2-HOWTO document details the parameters the network cards understand.

It won't work via the packet driver, but someone has got it working using
a SLIP link which is handled by a COM port in dosemu mapped to a pty in
Linux.

        You don't mention what kind of system you have but is DOS able to
        recognize all 540(515-516)Mb of your drive? The minimum you may

        append="hd=1048,16,63" (these ARE the parameters that you entered
        in your CMOS setup, aren't they? They are for my WD2540 drive).
        If that doesn't work you may have to recompile the kernel with
        these parameters hard coded into /usr/src/linux/include/linux/config.h
        Just bring that file up in an editor and search for the following
        string: "HD_TYPE" There are comment there to guide you but the
        line you will enter there is:
        #define HD_TYPE { 16,63,1048,1048,1048,8 }      
        and comment out the #undef HD_TYPE line. Then recompile the
        kernel and do a make zdisk for a bootable floppy.
        If this doesn't work you may have to make some alterations in your
        CMOS setup. E-mail me if you do have any questions.

: As Rob and others point out, there is a need to separate DOSEMU's net 
: interface from Linux's so that it bascially has it's own NIC of sorts (like 
: slipper). It certainly can be done, and given some time, likely will :-), 
: but at this time, the pktdrvr is mostly used for connecting to Netware.

Connecting to the novell-server is not the probelm
 - via second ethernet card and the whole driver-stuff like lsl, 
   card-drv, ipxodi, netx 

 - via integrated pkt-driver and netx

BUT I CAN'T GET ANY TCP/IP APPLICATION TO WORK !! Neither NCSA-Telnet nor
SOSS run's in my dosbox (witrh second ethernet card).

Does sombody try this out ??

: Current samba version can be found from

: TCPIP add on to Win 3.11 could be found
: from ftp.microsoft.com:/Advsys/MSclient/WFW/WFWTCP.EXE.

: There is also a 32bit Beta version of the client in

If i want install linux as a filesyser (replacement for novell in little
networks), should i use

   o  Linux as a SAMBA Server
      - running wfwg or windos-3.1 with the prog's show above on the stations
   o  Linux as a normal NFS Server 
      - running xfs176 or nfs-02x  (both msdos nfs-clients) on the stations

Whats the advantages of samba in opposit to nfs ??


regards

Danny

I'd be keen to add references to any code, alpha/beta or release to the
NET-2-HOWTO for same, so if anyone has anything to volunteer in this regard
feel free to mail it to me.

        My advice to you Bill, is to update you serial board to
        16550 UARTS. This should take care of your problem.
        Unless you actually have 16550 UARTS and the autoprobing
        in rc.serial is not detecting them correctly. Then you
        may have to change your setserial line to account for this.
