I have two questsions. One slightly more important than the other
depending on how you look at it.
Technical Information:
Machine : Pentium/90
Ma'Board: PCI bus with SCSI Card
Drives : 4x CDROM in cd0a
Techmar DAT Drive in st0
1 GIG internal drive
os ver : FreeBSD 2.0r
My first problem is that whenever I get a connection from my Xyplex
terminal server to the machine, I get a break character (^@) visible
starting before the Password prompt, and it stays forever thereafter. The
only fix that I can see is using ^J all the time :) This does not occur
whenever someone telnets remotely from anywhere else - just the Xyplex. I
understand that Xyplex does suck, but I can not see any reason why this
happens. :) Any help would be great. Next issue is BACKUPS... as I stated
Above, I have a Techmar DAT (2 gig) drive, and all my UNIX books, and
manuals, and man pagers only talk about magnetic tapes in rmt*, not rst*.
I figured just subistuting st with rt would work, but this is not the
case. If anyone has a DAT that they're using, please enlighten me on
this! Thanks!
