Hi all, I need to find alternatives to the current setup: an AIX server (runs our business apps in UniVerse database) in the main location, multiplexed serial ports carried over a leased line to a branch location 90 miles away, the serial ports are for terminals and printers. We also have...

We have been running a UniVerse database on AIX for as long as that technology has been around. (It was Prime Information before that.) My setup has been that the desktops are the thinnest of clients, basically terminals to the RISC box, like we used to use mini-computers ["back-in-the-day"]. We...

Hi, We have a p520 (AIX5.2) system that currently has 2 independent 36GB disks. I want to add disk space and setup disk mirroring for redundancy. So, 1) is disk mirroring the same as "RAID1"? ibm sales says I need to add 2 drives (min.) and a "RAID enablement card" to do this. So, 2) does...

Hi to all, I'm really confused about how to implement Exchange Server on our SBS 2003 domain controller. We have added this server to essentially a peer-to-peer network [about 12 WinXP Pro clients, hardware firewall, shared DSL for internet access]. Our email is hosted by the same firm that...

Hello all, We have a few XP Pro systems that are used to control test equipment and run simulations in an industrial environment. These systems are not connected to any other computers, a network, or phone lines. They run proprietary, custom-built applications. The devices under test may...

Hi all, I have an odd one here: an XP Home ed. PC (a generic clone of "questionable" parentage) was brought to me that for "some time" has been requesting activation (my guess is since SP2 was downloaded). No matter what was done, the system didn't seem to "remember" that it had been activated...

Hi, I've been called in to troubleshoot a bad "self-install". The customer (an "older" person) had Verizon DSL installed by his children as a present. The "kids" left town and "it never worked!"...so situation is: 6 month old Dell PC, new house with one phone line, "every" phone (4 or 5) has a...

Hi, we can't get uucp to work (on a newly re-built [old] system). We need to use a modem connected to a serial port (exists: tty1). cu works, the modem's OK, but it looks like uucico just stops with no error message. The created command file still lives in /uucp/spool and no data is...

Hi Office experts, I have a user with Office 2000 pro (SP-3 and all patches applied) on a WinXP home system that has been working fine for months. Yesterday morning, he clicked on the Outlook icon, it opened the window and immediately displayed a dialog box "Operation Failed" (with no further...

In Word 2002 running on an XP Pro system, is there any way to print every document in a specific folder, short of opening each one and printing? Of course, each doc needs to maintain its formatting, etc. Is there a feature of the system to do this or should we find someone to write a program...

Hello to all, Here's one that has me stumped: we built a new PC, AMD Athlon 1.2, 256MB RAM and XP (Home). Everything works great, install new apps, it behaves like the 5 that we have done before. This is to replace a Compaq Presario 4910 running Win95 (!) that had many docs & other files that...

We have a UniVerse (v9.5.1) system running on AIX 4.3.3. This system was 'ported' from Prime Information and was setup to replace the Prime mini with an RS/6000. All of the printers (on the IBM) are attached to serial ports and we use the UniVerse spooler. Does UniVerse support 'remote'...

Hi, We have an F50 (AIX 4.3.2) server with 40 terminals and 12 printers attached to assorted (RAN) serial ports. I also have it connected to my (WinNT) network for ftp (of ascii files) and so have assigned an ip address. I have a printer on the same network that has its own printer controller...

Hi, I have 30-40 users logged in (terminals on serial ports) running applications (uniVerse BASIC) on the database. Is anyone familiar with this type of system? My problems include: I do a daily (after-hours) cpio to tape of the company's data files. Before I do that, I issue "who...

Hi, I'm new to AIX but experienced with "older" minicomputer environments. We run an F50 with the 128-port asynch susbsystem, not networked. There are about 40 users on Wyse50 terminals, 5(local) PCs running HyperTerminal (connected via serial ports), one modem, and 14 serial...
