Well I tried doing: find -name "clock*" -print while in /usr/man and found only ones I did not want. I then did what you said (man -k) and it showed the clock entry you mentioned (clock(8)), but in /usr/man/man8 there is not clock entry of any kind. > > > > How would you know about "man -k"?

I suppose Red Hat would be to blame as it is one of their distributions (RH 5.0 and 5.2). I will search the net for this man page. Thanks...james P.S. Requesting one to read the man page is not obnoxious. Its were I always go first, but...

Thanks...james I don't mean to be obnoxious, but: man 8 clock "man -k clock" would help you find it. How would you know about "man -k"? "man man", of course. ;-) You can also learn about "man -a" there. Well, the man page for clock(8) may be missing on your system, but who's to blame if that is the case?

Re: PPP question on AIX (yes i know this is not the place i have not place else to ask)
Hello Nezer, Do you have a Linux machine with PPP, which you can use to call the AIX server? Using such a machine, you can isolate the problem and determine whether it is in the AIX or in the Windows NT (if the Linux machine can also receive PPP calls). Or, lacking such a machine, can you call an ISP's PPP connection from your Windows NT machine (this will at least isolate the problem to the AIX machine). Another possibility: if the RAS scheme is similar to CHAP or PAP, you'll not get username+password anyway. But the PPP connection will be there (check ping/telnet/ftp and see if they work). --- Omer On Thu, 18 Mar 1999, Nezer Zaidenberg (DL-S)(22304) wrote: > I need to esatblish a PPP connection between a PC with windows NT using > RAS to RS/6000 station running AIX 4.2.1 with PPP package (bos.dte.ppp i > think) installed. i am using US Robotics 33600 external sportster modems. > the PC always initiate the call, the unix always receive.

PPP question on AIX (yes i know this is not the place i have not place else to ask)
Hi! first i wise to apologise for sending this mail to this list but as no other source helped (well... IBM help line gave me a "cookbook" but after following accurately every instruction and getting nothing "baked" I called them again and the response was "can we do it on sunday, we havent managed to operate it here" :)) I need to esatblish a PPP connection between a PC with windows NT using RAS to RS/6000 station running AIX 4.2.1 with PPP package (bos.dte.ppp i think) installed. i am using US Robotics 33600 external sportster modems. the PC always initiate the call, the unix always receive. (no need to manage connections the other way around) I managed to install the modem as a tty and communicate with it using cu. and created a ppp user on the AIX. lssrc shows that the ppp daemon (subsystem) is running. when I use the NT to call asking for terminal after dialup i get a blank screen with no request for user/password which leads me to beleive the problem is with the AIX somewhere. does anybody have a clue?

AFAIK Hebrew is not two MBCS (Multi byte Character) langugae. This is true only with far-eastern languages (like Japnesse) that sometimes uses 1 and sometimes 2 bytes to reperesent a char. And all of this is still different from Unicode which is wide char, that is ALWAYS uses two bytes to represent a char...

Of course, we mentioned VM/360/370/390, and when arguing about "first" or "second", we referred to 386 and up (8086 could always be virtualized by 386 and up, so even virtual 8086 is not a new thing, but only virtual 386, and of course Pentium) and we even mentioned x86. The quotations in the message that you replied to, didn't include this mention, so if you missed the original message, it looked like we referred to "first in history", but again - we referred ONLY to 386/Pentium. In any case, as I already wrote, while the 360/370/390 had the required infrastructure for self virtualizibilty, Intel lacks it, and it is very tricky to do it. Many years were needed since the 386 was released till the first VM implementation (Merge 4.0) was released. -- Eli Marmor
Re: on virtuality (was Re: VMWare)
I asked one of the dosemu members why don't they emulate the whole processor in protected mode instead ov v86 only, any he replied there is work on the subject, that was half a year ago, so you may have dosemu function as vmware (and dosemu is a lot faster) but when ?
