And the DP-11 driver "just installed" so I expect the DUP-11 driver will work too. The only caveat is to remove the "register ..., ..." definitions from the beginning of the probe routine. (is it "br, cvec"?) as Ultrix doesn't use them as register variables anymore. >News/Nntp, Dunno .. but don't expect any problems >Uucp, We use the 4.3BSD uucp from Rick Adams (we don't have his latest tho'). We use this one because we have some over-the-Internet UUCP links using the t protocol and with uucpd. I believe the Ultrix UUCP has none of that in it. >BIND (name daemon), The BIND there is 4.7.3 with some "improvements". I had some troubles with that version tho so we put up 4.8 but left the resolver stuff alone. (The /etc/svcorder file is a very nice touch) >macsyma, Dunno ..
