Solaris x86 (on a TP 755CX)



Anyone managed to configure x86 to work transparently in
2 modes (in a Dock 2 with ethernet and standalone without
ethernet but using a PCMCIA modem for PPP)?

I would be interested in anyone's experience and in asking
questions of someone who is more of an expert than I.  I
have had x86 loaded for about 2 weeks (used little).
(Have much more experience with Solaris 2.X on SPARC!)

(755CX w/ 40 MB RAM, 1.2 GB disk, Solaris x86 2.5 with du1
and 800x600 256 color SVGA display patch, OpenWin patches,
use NIS on local subnet - not on notebook as it hangs, ...
Have Warp/Warp connect on another 1.2 and on SCSI in dock
but need to run some fortran stuff in the field which is
currently in Sun SPARC fortran and figured a port to x86
would be easier than getting and learning OS/2 Fortran, etc).

Thanks,

Stu
