Q1, Whats the command(s) to get an hp ps printer to work. The freeBSD system is the server to a few other systems. So far, the printer prints one line per page. Q2. Would like the other computers on the lan to be able to http through the free BSD's pppd. I see that the ppp command has an -alias command but the ppp command produces an "ERROR" when I get to the part to enter in the AT . The pppd run by itself, does however connect and work ( except the other computers can not see past our freeBSD server ). Q3. Is the best way to load src ( for say a2ps.. ) onto the system, to do a make build in /usr/ports/whereever and get it to load it from the cd collection ? As they are often already installed, does the source exist on the system somewhere else in some other form ? Q4. For a small lan like this, is it a good idea to have a named with a resolve.conf ? Does named really need a named.conf created in /etc ? Q5. Can a mac and the various MS os's both use the lan ? Have got samba going fine but seems like I need netalk AND a thing called afpfs. What and where is afpfs ? Q6. Is it possible to run informix IDS for linux on freeBSD ? Or put another way, what do I do to run a large linux application. thanks, james %-( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
