Terminals & PC's connected via StarLAN. I recently downloaded rn version 4.3 from uunet. Configure & Make ran without a whimper. Real clean. I looked over what I built, su'd & did a "make install". Now, I try to run rn. I get the "Welcome to RN" message, and "press return to continue" in reverse video at the bottom of the screen. I press return, but rn does not continue. I press return again, nothing. I press INTR, nothing. Press it again & I get "caught an internal error-restoring .newsrc" and back to the shell. I start it again & leave it to cook, thinking maybe it needs to do some kind of initialization. An hour later, the same screen is staring at me. From another terminal, ps tells me a lot of activity is going on. This terminal is connected to the 3B2 via RS232C-NAU (Asynch/StarLAN Gateway). Next day, I go to the Console & try running it there.... IT WORKS! and such a nice news reader, too! Now, the only difference I can find is that the console is /dev/console, and the Terminal uses /dev/slanxx (00-31). Is there some fundamental difference between the asynch tty driver & the starlan tty driver? I'm guessing this is where the problem lies. Where do I begin? I'm not too proficient in C to do this on my own. Does anyone have any Idea where I should start. Sorry for the L O N G message, but I'd love to get this package up & running on StarLAN. If I keep sneaking into the computer room to read the news, people will be wondering what I'm up to. Tx. danno -- Daniel S.
