It will run, but only if you use a stripped down version (less features compiled in), and have almost NO drivers, etc loaded into memory. TNOS must exist in conventional memory, and on processors earlier than a 386, you had no support in the CPU for altering memory maps to maximize the conventional memory. I ran TNOS on a 286 for several years, I just needed a good "shoehorn" to get in what features I needed." So there you go.

The IBM PC was supposed to be a low-end model machine that would compete with CP/M machines and the Apple II, but not with IBM's planned larger "PC's" (which never left the ground). For that reason, it needed a 16-bit CPU, but not too much memory. With its 8-bit data bus, the 8088 would lead to cheaper hardware than a 68000-based machine.

TNOS is a multi-threaded application that contains a complete implementation of industry standard TCP/IP with drivers, applications, and support for use in an RF environment, primarily the Amateur Packet Radio environment. There are two versions, one that runs under MS-DOS/PC-DOS/DR-DOS and any multi-taskers that support virtual DOS boxes, and the other which runs as an application under Linux and other unix systems.

The number of virtual machines running per host depends on several things, including physical memory, processor, and workload running in the guest. With Virtual Server 2005 R2, you define the amount of memory available to a virtual machine, and that memory allocation can be altered to reflect the needs of the virtual machine.

At the date of this FAQ (see top), TNOS has been compiled or run on, most DOS systems, e.g. Microsoft, DR and PC. It works well under OS/2 and recent versions of Linux. TNOS will also run/compile with Free/BSD and with BSD/OS (BSDI). Included makefile for BSD/OS by Dave VK2KFU # USEELF = INSTALL= install -c -g dialer -m 2755 CC = gcc PATCHES = -DIS_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DUSE_SETSTACK -DBSD_RANDOM -DDUMP_CORE SETSTACK= setsp.

Well this depends on what operating system you are running TNOS under. First I will describe one way of doing it under Linux, and then a way of doing it under DOS. Please note. There is another example later in this FAQ from Brian, ko4ks, that details a slightly different way of doing this. Mix 'n' Match :-) Caveat.

No, not on the binary level; the opcodes are different. However, the instruction sets are so similar that assembly language programs can be machine translated from 8080 assembler to 8088 assembler. Rumour has it that the 11/780 was originally intended as the PDP 11/78 with "Virtual Address eXtension" (i.e. virtual memory), but Digital choose to present their new 32-bit line of computers under the name "VAX" rather than "PDP".

Each instance of the engine is uniquely identified, and as such you do not want to copy the config from one folder to another. Simply install a new instance of the program into a different directory. Register it with your email address, and it will be up and running using your hyperthreaded or second processor. Note: It should be noted that when running two instances TSC on a dual processor machine you should not attempt to have them both in your start up file because both will not auto start.

The latest release of TNOS can always be ftp'd from Brian Lantz's (TNOS author) machine, ftp://ftp.lantz.com/tnos/current. It can also be found at ftp.ucsd.edu in the /hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming directory a few days after a new version is released. There is also a mirror site of ftp.lantz.com which you will probably get better performance from, Brians net link is 28.8k PPP, this is a T1 link. FTP to ftp.mwmicro.com and look in mirrors/tnos. You will also find all the other goodies from ftp.

Modify the 'autoexec.nos' file for your needs, or convert one from TNOS/Dos or another variant of xNOS Before connecting TNOS/Linux to a TNC: You should look in the /etc/rc.d directory and see if you have an rc.serial file. If you do, examine it, as it MAY need to have some changes made to it before the serial ports will be ready for use.

One of the hardest jobs DharmaPhone does is compressing (the most) and decompressing the audio stream. Sadly, an impressive amount of CPU power is devoted to this purpose, and a 486 processor (even a 100 MHz fast one) can't cope with the amount of floating point operations needed. You need a Pentium processor running at 100MHz or higher.

Yes. You must have TCP/IP installed on the stand-alone PC; you should configure the loopback interface if you have no network card. Configure the Domino server normally. When you run Netscape or MSIE locally, you can specify localhost, 127.0.0.1, or the system name like so: "http://localhost", "

It is to run on one PC at a time. When you change PCs you can transfer it to the new one but it has to be taken off the old one.

To get a section from a web page: Use your mouse to "click and drag" and highlight your desired selection from the page. Then "copy" the selection, move to your word processor with the target file open, place your cursor where the selection should go, and "paste" the selection. The "Copy" and "Paste" commands are usually found in your web browser's "Edit" menu at the top of the window, or found by clicking the right-hand mouse button.

Tee-NOS, the 'Tee' is pronounced like a tee in golf. Or if you are British, like the tea in a cup of tea :-)

Most certainly yes! There is a very good mailing list for TNOS help and comments, here are the details:- Mailing Lists at lantz.com There are several mailing lists maintained at lantz.com. All are available as regular subscriptions or digest subscriptions. Current TNOS specific mailing lists include: Joining a Mailing List To join one of these mailing lists, send a mail message to listserv@lantz.

To take advantage of the FBB forwarding in TNOS, you need to be running Version 2.0 or later. To set your forwarding sessions to use FBB style forwarding, you should set forward fbb-style on. If you also want the FBB compressed forwarding then use forward fbb-compression on . You should also note that the syntax of the forward.bbs file has changed completely. You can use the cnvfwd program distributed with TNOS 2.0+ releases to convert your old pre-2.0 forward.bbs file to the new format.

It has been noted that starting your servers right at the end of your autoexec.nos file i.e. your 'start' lines, can lead to a more stable system. You should also make sure you are running a fairly recent version of TNOS. At the time of writing this I am running 2.0pl2 for Linux, and it seems to be proving very stable. If you must run an earlier version than 2.0 for Linux, then make sure you do not have the status line turned on, also the tcpgate facility is buggy in earlier versions.
