===========================

I currently own an AT&T 3B1 and am interested in information
concerning the following:

	1. Hardware availability

		i)   Addtional Hard Drives

			- A SCSI controller.

			- A Second hard drive controller &/or modifications
			  necessary to accomodate a second hard drive.

			- Availability and suppliers

		ii)  Memory expansion

			- Availability and suppliers

		iii) Streaming tape devies

			- Greater than the 20 or so megabyte device that
			  AT&T provides as an option for the 3B1.

			- Availability and suppliers

	2. Software availability

		i)   Currently I am running version 3.51a of the operating
		     system. Is version 3.51b or c available through USENET?
		     Or must it be purchased through AT&T USA. It seems that
		     AT&T Canada has no knowlegde of the b or c release.

		ii)  Is there any software, available through USENET, that
		     can be used on the 3B1 ( bug fixes, modifications,
		     games etc.. etc.. etc.. ).

		iii) Is there any second party source that is working on
		     a version of UNIX System V version 4 and/or 5 release
		     for the 3B1?

	3. Personal ports

		I currently have the following software rewritten from
		various UNIX systems available for public domain
		distribution:


			- UCB

				chfn
				chsh
				csh
				finger
				last
				leave
				lock
				lastcomm
				more
				page
				printenv
				strings
				users
				what
				whereis
				whoami

			- System V

				at, cron, crontab
				login
				news
				pwck
				su
				wall

			- Personal

				talk


		4. 3B1 software problems

			I am currently having problems with the
			following software:

				- sometimes the modem will not answer and
				  /etc/ph has to be killed and restarted.

				- layers will not work with the safari 4
				  terminal. Is this terminal not supported
				  by the software? Is a specialized graphics
				  terminal needed? The error message that is
				  reported by layers is:

				  layers - error - Not an XT windowing terminal

				  The documentation is very vague concerning
				  operation of the software.

	I would appreciate any information available concerning any of the
	above problems. Thank-you.
