- Let's see... The VMS DK driver is the SCSI disk class driver. This
- means that the disk is a SCSI disk. The VAXstation 3500 is a Q-bus
- based machine with all I/O stuff on the Q-bus. That means you must
- have some sort of Q-bus SCSI adapter. The only remotely supported one
- on VMS is the KZQSA and that isn't supported by ULTRIX. If the adapter
- is some 3rd party thing, then you need to discuss with them whether a
- driver is available for ULTRIX.

- What sort error does the person at the other end of the connection
- get? Look in /var/spool/mqueue/syslog for other clues. #1 cause
- that I've seen for this is lack of world write permission on /var/tmp.

- What's a cluster? If you're asking about how to setup a VAXcluster
- under ULTRIX, the answer is you can't. At least not all of it.
- You can set up systems to use NFS to serve file systems to other
- systems, setup YP or BIND to serve things like the hosts files,
- group file, password file, etc to the other systems. The print
- queue system can be setup to let a system be the server for a
- particular print and have the other systems the data to it for
- printing.

- You'll need to know the name of the terminal server and the port name. I
- think lprsetup(8) is smart enough to ask for them if you tell it the
- setup is for LAT. If not the printcap fields are; op=port-name and
- ts=terminal-server.
-
- You'll also want to consult the lcp(8) manual page, particulary the
- -g and -h options.
