What is the advantage of using "nntp addserver" entries rather than simply

Subject: 9600 display delay - help!
Organization: Hewlett-Packard Co., Loveland, CO
Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.datacomm

I recently purchased a used 9600 modem from the net, but I'm having a small
problem and looking for some HELP! I believe the modem is good, but something
certainly seems to be wrong...

During a normal screen display, the modem/'pute 'stalls' and seems to say...
"I've got everything that *should* be on the screen, but I'm not gonna show 
all of it to you until you press another key."

At this point I can either press the spacebar or wait for 3-4 seconds for the 
screen to finish its display on its own.  THIS is 9600?  Naw...can't be(!), 
but that's what the termware says during the 'CONNECT'.  Heck, the 2400 mode 
is faster...no delay/stall!  What's wrong?

Setup:

Stock A1000 with 2meg.
JRComm (reg)
Okidata 9600  (OEM?)

Things I've tried...Compression (MNP - on/off), prefs (2400/9600/>9600), 
termware (smooth scroll on/off), RTS/CTS (prefs and modem), AT\N0-AT\N7,
(ARGH!!!), 2-8 colors, yelling in anger...gibbering in defeat...HELP!

You may reply or e-mail me at the mental ward. <joking!>

	Theoretically, this could be done as a series of simple file 
transfers (like FTP or NFS).  But most sysops are quesey because such 
approaches offer poor security.  I'm told the accepted way is via a
protocol called NNTP.

Date: 13 Aug 92 16:02:58 GMT
Organization: MIND LINK! - British Columbia, Canada
Distribution: world

I received my Supra modem almost two months ago now and have been very happy
with it. Lately however several sysyops have commented that they can tell when
I am trying to log on to their systems because of the number of connects /
disconnects they record before I actually arrive with carrier.

I really hadn't noticed because I usually auto dial several boards at once
while doing other things. But lately I have turned the speaker on and followed
the actual events closely. One thing that I have noticed is that sometimes I
hear a ringing tone, a click then the modem disconnects and dials the next
number in the queue. This happens in NComm2.0 and Jr-Comm environments.

I have resorted to dialing up the numbers in tandem with my voice line as sort
of an error prone half assed check and receive ringing and carrier over 50% of
the time.

The question I have is, is anyone else experiencing this or having experienced
it found a fix or is this, one for the ROM upgrade? I just set S10=255 and got
a connection immediately - of course this could have been the attempt when it
was going to work anyway :-)

I know this isn't as complete a post as it could be but if you have any hints
or settings that you have created that works around any of this apparent
problem I would be very happy to hear about it.

        Whoa there! ... You've got my full, undivided attention now -- as a CNet owner myself. I'm interested in your comments about CNet being a "rip off", but remain, at best, unconvinced. 

        Obviously you posted that message into an international network like UseNet to prove a point (or to do some damage.) If you want to get your point across, IMHO, you need to provide ample-ample >proof<.

        Because an idea is used in another BBS program does not necessarily mean that the same idea can never be used again. IE: Who was the first person to write a Voting Booth for a BBS system? Does that person have copyright on Voting code forever and ever and >must< be credited in all BBS systems that use voting booths? (And, to the best of my knowledge, all current BBS systems >DO< use voting booths.)

        Because a user suggests mods for Ken to write into CNet does not mean he's ripping this mods off of anyone. He's simply taking a suggestion and coding it. He's should be allowed to take credit for the coding since he did 95% of the work (it's easy to dream up ideas, it's a little trickier to code 'em.)

        I've also heard the bit about another person writing the "noise" routines for CNet. If this is indeed true, I have little doubt that Ken must have some type of an agreement with that person for him/her to not get a mention as being part of Perspective Software.

        Also - the fact that the "C" icon is approximately the same size/shape as another popular package does not constitute proof either.

        I'm very interested in what you have brought up - my BBS is important to me. Beyond the initial investment of $120+ for CNet2.0, I also pump hundreds of dollars per month into this "hobby" and I, of course, would like to know the full story of the software that I'm depending on daily. I'm not trying to flame you -- I just want to be absolutely certain that what you are saying is indeed true, even if I plan to do nothing in reaction to that news.

        If you could please post/email whatever proof you have (ie: original author statements, specific lines of code, etc), I would greatly appreciate it. I personally feel that CNET has to be >the< greatest investment I have ever made in my Amiga.


Thanks much!

The newest HST's operate at 16.8k while the Supra uses 14.4k V.32bis. The older
HST's are only 14.4k. Perhaps this is what your source meant?

Sure there is!

VLT works great with DNet.  I kept this message (in response to another
person's query) around in case it would come in handy again.  Enjoy.

--cut-here--cut-here--cut-here--cut-here--cut-here--cut-here--cut-here-

I routinely use multiple VLT's with DNet.  The key is to get dnet.device
which allows VLT to talk "through" DNet.  dnet.device is available on
amiga.physik.unizh.ch and its mirrors (e.g.  merlin.etsu.edu). 

First, from inside VLT I set my configuration to work with DNet and 
my modem (v.32bis).  Namely,

	Baud:	38400
	Handshake: CTS/RTS
	Device: dnet.device
	Unit:	8195

Of course, this configuration will only work with DNet.  So, define an
alias for ordinary usage:

rvlt            = runwsh vlt +s serial.device +u 0

or something similar.  On the target machine, I invoke dnet via
'dnet -m0', and start up dnet on the Amiga with:

runwsh dnet -b38400 -B1200 -P2 -Z0 -8 -X -m0 -svlt >nil:

This works *most* of the time.  For some reason, there's a race between vlt
starting up and dnet.device starting up, and occasionally vlt will not
'find' dnet.device; when this happens I just shut down this vlt and start
another. (seems to only occur the first time I run dnet per boot)

Finally, here's my alias for starting dnet vlt's:

rvltd           = runwsh vlt +s dnet.device +u 8195 -n

This can be issued as many times as you want -- the -n option makes sure
they each are started with a different screen & ARexx port name (VLT.1,
VLT.2, ...).  I have never used more than about 5 but you are only limited
by RAM and chip memory!  So here's how I typically proceed.  First, 'rvlt'
to start up a 'normal' VLT, and start the script which logs me into the
target machine.  Then get out of VLT.  You must have set your modem to
ignore DTR (at&d0).  Startup dnet.  Type the invocation string for the
target (dnet -m0).  The Dnet window goes away, and a VLT appears.  Yay!
Then start up as many more as you can stand :-).

If you're invoking sz on the VAX (and you probably are) try doing it like
this:  sz -l 1024 <filenames>.  This forces Zmodem to handshake after every
1K of data.  This slows things down a bit in theory, but is frequently required
to get through gateways like the one you've described.

As a poor distribution of C-Net concerned, that is true. I have mailed in my upgrade money about a year ago, and still haven't seen version 2.0 WITH A MANUAL in the mail yet. Also, there are bugs in C-Net. Every new 'upgrade' just patches old ones, but new bugs keep poping up all over. Finally, I gave up with C-Net, sold "the rights to get 2.0 upgrade" and the disks I had to this dude for $75, and bought DLG. DLG is rock solid, exellent support, and got what I paid for. This is my C-Net story.

	An easier solution - buy Micro R&D's Slingshot ($39.95),
1-800-527-8797.  This will allow you to plug the A2065 card into your A500.
If you have a 1 Meg system and at least a dual floppy system, you can now 
run AS225.  We here have tried this and it works beautifully.  The A2065
also works fine in the Bodega Bay (in fact, that's what I'm using right now).

GPFax does support CLASS 1, but not with the SUPRA version.  You require a
CLASS 1 version.

Unfortunately we have not seen a 'Digicom Scout Plus FaxModem' and cannot
be sure it will work with your modem.  We are attempting to get a hold of
a US Robotics FAXMODEM (class 1) to test with and once we can confirm that
it works with that modem, we hope the software will be compatible with
many other Class 1 fax modems.  If your modem uses the ROCKWELL chip set,
I would say the software DOES work as we have it working with AVTEK modems
(made here in Australia) which use the ROCKWELL class 1 chip.

these reports are NOT confirmed, just local BBS blabber.

What does the JR-Comm dialer window report when it gives up
a dialing attempt? Is the modem confusing the ringing signal
with busy or voice ones? The tones that different phone systems
make are different. I can tell if I have dialed the same voice
number twice by the way that the ring sounds on the line. 
The modem may be unable to handle the subtlties beyond a certain
point. Does your problem occur with certain BBSs and never with 
others. If so this might confirm my suspicion.
