ESIX questions

[Martin J. Schedlbauer]

Fellow netlanders,

please allow me to ask you a few questions.

1. Where can I get Emacs for Esix, preferably by ftp. I have tried
ypig.stanford.edu, but I continuously get timeout errors.

2. I have recently upgraded my system to 16Mb on a 386-25 motherboard.
Esix correctly recognizes that memory as reported by memsize. However,
if I do a 'sar -r 5 600' it shows freemem = 2803 (which per System V's
2k page frame equals less than 6MB of memory). Where did the rest of the
memory go? I expected about 12-13 Mb after kernel and data areas are
allocated.

3. I use the Esix FFS. To get maximu performance should I increase
NBUF&NHBUF, or FFSBUFFERS (or both). BTW, what is FFSBUFFERS anyways?

	thanks very much,
	...Martin
