I assume this is when you are trying to print a flat text file? If so, you either need to convert to file to postscript (e.g. with a2ps or apsfilter or by some homegrown thingy which tacks a postscript header on the top) or convert the file with unix2dos or the like so that its a DOS/WIN style text file. > Q2.

The pppd run by itself, does however connect and work ( > except the other computers can not see past our freeBSD server ). You need to run a proxy server on the machine or you need to use something like NAT. > Q6. Is it possible to run informix IDS for linux on freeBSD ?

You _may_ need to use the brandelf command if its not recognised as a linux binary and you _may_ need to hack installation scripts which specifically expect the system to report itself as Linux. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
