Thanks to eBay and a couple of list members, I now
have my Indy up and
running and on the 'net using my ISDN router as the gateway. I can also
ping my office network through the other router. I'm currently running
IRIX 6.5. It has a R4400SC 150mhz cpu, 192mb ram, a 24bit graphics
card, Granite kb, mouse and 20" Trinitron monitor, a 2gb hard drive and
an Indycam. I'm building an external SCSI box to house a DAT drive, the
CD-ROM, a CD-R drive and a 2gb option drive. Now I need to find a
Presenter, a Cosmo board, a 10/100 GIO ethernet card, the XZ graphics
board and floptical drive to have a fairly complete system.
Good luck finding a Presenter and 10/100 GIO at reasonable prices!
It looks
good sitting on my desk next to the NeXT TC slab.
On the subject of NeXTs, how do you get a NeXT to use standard files
(/etc/hosts, et al) instead of the netinfo stuff?

One doesn't :-(. What I normally do is I disconnect the NI-stuff
from the hierarchy and start using DNS.
What you may want to read is chapter 10 (Incorporating a NeXT Computer
into a Mixed Network) from NeXT Network and System Administration. Available
on paper back and probably on your system disk as well.
Man-pages on niload and nidump might help too. Honestly, I never remember
how to do it so I just improvise and create a local NI hierarchy and
use DNS for name resolution.
The chapter did mention NIS (yp) so that *might* be an option.
