Hello folks,

Has anyone been able to connect FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 workstations together and have 
yellow pages or (NIS) using a Sun running Solaris as the NIS server. Can you 
give me some pointers on how to do just that. Thanks a lot.

I have also got xview 3.2 running on XFree86 2.1.1 on FreeBSD 1.1.5.1. However 
when I run cmdtool or shelltool I have problem running vi or more. It seems 
that the termcap has problem. Please, if any of you have done that 
successfully, give me some help.

Thank you very much
