Oberon Day 2011 is three weeks on Friday!
http://www.oberonday2011.ethz.ch/
The schedule of talks has now been finalised, and we are preparing some
additional demonstrations of Oberon-derived systems and research from
Prof. Gutknecht's Native Systems Group at ETH Zurich.
Oberon Day is free to attend - if you have not done so already, please
register using the following link:
http://www.oberonday2011.ethz.ch/registration/
Please see the website for and location and accommodation details if
required, and for information about social events after the conference.
We are looking forward to meeting new and old faces of the Oberon
community at what promises to be an interesting, stimulating and enjoyable
event. See you on Friday 27th May!

My best guess is the second system for Linux in this table.

I've never tried any of the Oberons running on top of Linux.

Thanks. I'm using the lpr in the cups-bsd package which
isn't the lpr in the lpr package. I should purge out cups,
install lpr and test that with Oberon before chasing source
text.

Hi,
lpq and lpr works on a Debian Linux system here.
It works for localhost and for other Debian systems on the LAN.
For ETHNO, LPRPrinter.ShowJobs "HPDeskJet500@joule" makes the system
freeze. <Ctrl>+<Break> yields this Trap.
TRAP 13 Keyboard interrupt (PC Native 05.01.2003)
Kernel.NewBlock PC = 10149
AN = 0
adr = 0
i = 0
ptr = 00000000H
rest = 0
restptr = 00000000H
size = 1536
Any ideas before I study the source?
Thanks, ... Peter E.

Well no, it's appropriately written for a higher level of

Isn't: 10.4.0.1 = IP and 25 = port; hence IP-port?

ETHO talks to the ISO-stack at the application level,
which passes the signal down to the socket-level,
which talks to the MTA's socket, I'm guessing.

One.

Yes

No.
In the second case, does "the MTA" belong to you?
Is it on your premises?

Because there's no physical distance that the signal needs
to travel [outside of a PC].
I suspect that LEO needs to communicate with:
loopback/127.0.0.1, <smtp default port>/25,
which is completely different from it communicating
with V24/RS232.

I really must go from my land-line tomorrow,
for a few days.
