  I have a Mac SE running system 6.0.7 and a Powerbook 100 running system 6.0.8, and I want to be able to "network" them (just an easy way to move files back and forth would be fine).  The Macs are supposed to have built in networking capabilities, but damned if there is anything in the manuals about it.  
	I did have them linked together briefly when I was running system 7 on the PB 100, but I just couldn't handle the overhead in RAM.  
	Any suggestions would be appreciated, especially ones that don't involve capital outlays (if it's going to cost many a dollar, I could just upgrade my PB).
	Thanks,

I just upgraded to MacTCP 1.1.1, and it doesn't give me the SLIP option 
when I go to select a networking medium in the MacTCP dialog. Any idea
what the deal is? When I reinstall MacTCP 1.1, it sees the SLIP controller
just fine... (IICi 7.0.1 (which is why I want to upgrade))

We are interested in buying a Shiva LanRover/L or LanRover/E directly from
the US. A discounted price for the /L model in Sweden is the equivalent
of 1100 USD. Mail order prices are around 530 USD in the US so you can
understand our interest.
However, I need to know what kind of power supply these units have. Is
it compatible with 220V, 50Hz?
Other information on performance, ease of use and so on is also
appreciated.

Thank's in advance

Yep.  I have MacX running on my Q700 at home talking to a Sparcstation
at work via a cslip connection over a 14.4K modem.  I usually fire up an
xterm and maybe an xrn.  Works fine, although a little slower than you
might like.  Warning! Don't try this with anything less than 9600 baud

There should have been a PostScript file (HIDELW.PS) or some such, that came
with the ATPS.NLM.  This can be downloaded to the printer to change it's
device type from LaserWriter to hiddenwriter and will prevent it from being
seen in the chooser.

If you don't have the file you can create one.  It looks like this:

%!
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
stausdict begin
(TheNameOfMyPrinter:hiddenwriter@*) setprintername
end

Just type this into a dos machine and print it to the queue, or create
a doc on the mac and use SendPS or DownloadPS or the LaserWriter Font
Util to send it to the printer.

It's different for a LWIIf and g, if you have any of those I can send you 
the program.
I'm not positive, and I'm too lazy to walk over to the manual, but there
might be a switch in the ATPS.CFG file to hide the laser.

I'm using VersaTermServer to give Telnet access to an async service. 
Right now I'm using the Serial Tool as the outbound connection from
VersaTermServer to the service.  It works fine except that
VersaTermServer has no way to know when the "session" on the async
service is done so it can drop the inbound Telnet connection.  If we take
the perspective that the Mac is the terminal and the async service is a
modem, the async service drops DSR when a session is finished.  The Mac
asserts DTR when the Serial Tool opens a session.

Is there a way to configure the Serial Tool or Apple Modem Tool to close
the session when DSR drops?   I tried using the Apple Modem Tool, but it
seems to want to send some modem setup strings and ATDT even if the phone
number is blank.  I would assume that the modem tool watches CD/DSR
(usually wired together in the 25 pin to DIN-8 mac modem cables) and
closes a session when this drops.

What I need I guess is the equivalent of the modem tool with no dial
setup or number.  Can one edit the modem choices in the serial tool to
make a "null" modem?

Any suggestions?

Please reply e-mail.  I can never keep up-to-date on all the Mac
newsgroups!

	A Frontier Install file for MicroPhone II is available in UserLand's
forums on CIS & AppleLink.  This is for Frontier 1.0 - but with Frontier 2.0
you should be able to do more since 2.0 supports the Object Model much better
and most of MPII's events are object based.

It's one thing to pay for an entire suite of TCP/IP tools, it's another to  
pay more than a trivial amount for a TCP/IP driver.

One data point: IBM's TCP/IP for OS/2 includes a multitude of telnet,ftp and  
mail clients, all the servers, daemons (telnetd, ftpd, routed, fingerd,  
named, sendmail, etc.), a newsreader, plus voluminous documentation -- all  
for around $200.

If Apple wanted to provide a similar suite, I wouldn't object to paying a  
similar amount.  But for just the MacTCP stack itself -- forget it!

Don't be naive. The cost of ARA was a part of the original PowerBook price.
That was what I meant by "paid for". The point is, they have peeled off
approximately $170 worth of software from the PowerBooks, but did the price
go down? See? ARA sales are now almost pure profit.

Some questions that have arisen are:
- Is the Asante 4.1 installer as found on mac.archive the lastest version ?
- Are there known problems with hooking up additional devices to the 
PB/Asante combination ?
- Are there SCSI/EN devices that work better than the Asante box ?

I have an Asante EN/SC and have no problems at all.  

I recently received version 2.0 of the Asante Installer.  My box was
shipped with 1.24 or 1.25.  Version 4.1 does make sense to me.  This
version seems to have eliminated an occasion lights-on-solid hanging
situation I would get every couple of weeks.

My SCSI chain starts with a PowerBook 140, to a Radius PowerView SCSI
Video interface, to the Asante EN/SC to a PLI Syquest drive.  I believe
the Asante box "should" have the lowest SCSI ID number, but don't
remember exactly.

Asante tech people have been *extremely* helpful when I have called.
Call them.

Keywords: zmodem (or anything) and telnet



Hi.

It seems that when I telnet into a machine (UNIX based *or* our big
old MTS mainframe), none of the file transfer commands I'm used to work.
MTS Kermit gives a biazarre error of not being set up for the line, and
sz (and its variants) just don't do anything. Lotsa junk gets spewed on
the screen, but nothing (not even the usual file name and size) seems
to get to something like Zterm.

I just hooked our happy Sun to a modem, and lo, file transfers work. When
I rlogin to another UNIX box (still from the dial-in line), zmodem works
again. However, when I *telnet* into same box (from the UNIX box I've 
dialed into), everything failes again, seeming to definitely point to
telnet itself.

I had been assuming it was a uniquely local problem ('cause we normally
go through a Merit prompt), but this would seem to make it more general.

Has anyone else ever encountered such a problem? Is there some configuration
I'm not aware of so that telnet'ing into a machine will let zmodem 
transfers work? 

Any hints/help will be appreciated! Thanks...

Me and A friend once wrote enough TCP/IP to bridge the gap from
EtherNet packages to TFTP as an assignment for a 4 week course in
Computer Communications. no problem.
Oh I forgot to tell you, this was in Lisp on the Lambda lisp machine
:-) In a few years we could do it again when the MacOS is rewritten in

I wonder if this is why Apple resellers in Sweden doesn't seem to be able to get
any information from Apple about the new MacX/MacTCP package.
