Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all, I have an eeprom programmer which comes with software for DOS, and I would like to run this under FreeBSD. As one of my options, I was interested in finding out if the FreeBSD port of VMWare has parallel port support? This eeprom programmer runs off the parallel port so I would need to have that access. Vladimir's website only mentions that parallel port support has not been tested, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success? Any tips/suggestions welcome! -- Regards, Devin.

We have a fair number of Linux systems as servers here in my office, I am looking at replacing most of them with FreeBSD boxes (noticibly faster NFS preformance and the like, besides I just like FBSD better ;) The problem I am having is that I can't put any server online that can't be backed up from our IRIX system running Alexandria. There are Linux and SCO clients for Alexandria but no FreeBSD (I have already written them about this, but it took them a year after they promiced to finally deliver the linux verion). I have not tried to work with the linux version yet as FreeBSD uses the /compat tree for the Linux tree whereas I believe the SCO emulation works with the 'real' system tree. Problem is when I try to run the X client I get: ttyp0 cricket-root> ./xalex libsocket: socket: /dev/socksys: No such file or directory libsocket: socket: /dev/socksys: No such file or directory Error: Can't open display: rionna:0.0 This is both with a 4.2 and a 5.0 SCO binary.
