[9fans] setup?

[9fans] setup?

[Colin DeVilbiss]

a few more early setup questions:

1) most importantly, are there any good FAQ-ish websites for plan9?
   (besides the canonical FAQ, that is?).  I would be happy not to
   clutter the list with questions if I already had the answers. :)

2) setting up client access for pop3 and nntp?  I checked the mail(1)
   manpage, but it didn't want to give up its secrets.  (that is, I have
   a remote pop3 account and would like to be able to download its
   messages to my PC while in plan9.)

3) people have remarked on the list about staying in plan9 all the time
   except when they need to access the web; besides the above and what
   is available in the distro, does anyone have helpful suggestions
   regarding things like outside software to download to make full-time
   plan9 use a reality?

answers to any of the above in the form of documentation pointers would
be as welcome as straight answers.

thanks in advance.

Re: [9fans] communication between v2 and v3

Hello,

Thank you.
By
echo flush >'#a/arp/ctl'
on v2 cpu/terminal. CPU servers get connected.
But how can I do for my file server?
Reboot?

try this.

echo flush >'#a/arp/data' on v2 cpu/terminal

arp flush (i think) on a v2 file server console

and things might spring to life.

by changing the card you changed the MAC address
and thus the IP to MAC translation
but v2 systems will still retain the original translation until
you tell it otherwise.  they will be sending to the card
that's now truly on the ether (out in the air).

Hello,

I am in trouble.
I swapped my ether card from ne2000 to 3c905b.
The machine is standalone Plan9v3 terminal.
The result is weird.
The machine can communicate with UNIX using telnet --- not weird.
The machine turned unable to communicate with Plan9v2 servers
both on il and tcp --- weird!.
Plan9v2 servers are working as they have been --- not weird.
Snoopy can catch their packets at both end, that is, packets can  
reach
the target mutually.
Their conversations suggest that v2 and v3 cannot synchronize.
All my v2 servers are running with 10M ether card,
and machines are connected using 10/100 switching HUB.

Suggestion welcome.
