I tried to get the UMinn folks to cough up the source for MailStop, so
I could turn it into a POP3 server.  They told me they were going to
do that themselves, soon.

I don't know what "soon" means, however.

Subject: Mac330 to VAX running TCP/IP
Organization: AECL Research - Math & Comp Branch
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1992 18:15:43 GMT

I'm trying to use Mac330(V1.0.5) with MACtcp(V1.1) to make a telnet connection
to a VAX system running Wollengong's TCP/IP(V5.1) software. The problem I'm
running into is that although a connection can be setup no problem. If I then
envoke a simple VMS TYPE of a text file the Mac330 application will do one of
two things. 1. It will crash with the "Unexpectedly Quit (1)" error or 2. A
MACtcp error -23016 will be generated. In either case the only way out is to do
a hard reset of the Mac.

These symtoms only occur when connecting to a VAX host running Wollengong's IP
software through a Shiva FastPath 4 or 5. If I connect via an Asante ethernet
adapter directly everything works OK.


In addition, these symtoms do not occur when connected either by AppleTalk or
ethernet when Telneting to a UNIX or Ultrix host.

Has anyone had success operating in this type of configuration or does anyone
have any suggestions.  Note: I have been unable to get a definitive answer from
either product vendor.

Hi, I just bought Microphone II and was disappointed to see that they
were foolish enough to throw in a Compuserve access front end that
does not do me any good.  It is nothing compared to the Compuserve
Information Manager I have anyway, and even if it was better, it is
redundant.  Wish they had spent the time and energy to throw in a GEnie
access script/front end as GEnie really sucks in terms of front end.,

I used to have Alladin on the Atari ST and even that was horrible.

I was wondering if someone had written a Microphone II front end for
checking email (NOT news) etc for internet and for Genie.

The NuBus Asante cards are 100% register compatible with the Apple
EtherTalk cards and can thus use the 'ae' drivers under A/UX.

The EN/SC box, however, will require drivers from Asante.

Forgive my curiosity, but what does Qualcomm produce or do that they Do

Date: 21 Aug 92 16:42:04 GMT
Organization: Purdue University

Something strange is happening.  As of this week, I noticed that my Zoom Fax
was losing data.  Characters while viewing a text file were missing on a
frequent basis, and file transfers became impossible.

On a remote chance, I booted without any extensions (shift down) and found that
everything worked.  Now, I had to go through everything and figure out what the
problem was.  At least there's Extensions Manager!

Anyway, the bad extension surprised me.  It was the Fax Print and Fax Driver
extensions that came with the modem.  By turning both off, everything works
fine.  Why?

Has anyone else had a similar problem and are the drivers perhaps not bad, but
something else conflicts with them?

As i understand it, the the Network Installer was "ifxed" becausse of
a bug that made AppleTalk act wonky on Quadras.  In fixing this bug
(with AppleTalk 57.0.4) Apple screwed up the icon stuff.  Note that this
is (possibly misremembered hearsay, so take it with a grain of salt.

Anyway, the outcome is this, as far as I know:  

1)  If you're not using a Quadra, don't use the new Installer/AppleTalk 57.0.4.
2)  If you are using a Quadra, but you don't need to switch MacTCP back and 
	forth between Ethernet and LocalTalk once it has been configured, then 
	a)  Install the old AppleTalk drivers from an older Installer.
	b)  Install and configure MacTCP the way you want it.
	c)  Install the new AppleTalk drivers (57.0.4)
3)  If you're using a Quadra and you _do_ need to be able to switch back and
	forth, you're just hosed.  Keep bugging Apple for an upgrade.  :)

Organization: Miami University

	Has anyone had any luck using Techworks Ethernet IIsi with A/UX 3.0?
	I got their A/UX 3.0 drivers and installed off the SE/30 diskette. I
then had to edit /etc/install.d/master.d/ae6 for newconfig to recognize the
card. (The SE/30 card has an id of 852, the IIsi of 1104). Verbose newconfig
says I have something else (id 40, slot 14) which it can't find a driver for.
Is this related?
	Anyway, when the newconfig is all over, I get the message that no
Ethernet cards are found. So when I do a newconfig bnet, I am never asked for
an IP address, hostname, etc.
	Also, I can't get Ethertalk in A/UX to work over this card. I had to
hack the installer script just to install the Ethertalk IIsi driver. (I just
got rid of the routine where the Installer checks for installed boards. It was
crashing the program. I did a Custom install.)
	Thanks for any help you can give.

Another vote for 10BaseT. The hub arrangement prevents one bad node from
affecting the entire network. Be sure your network installer uses REAL
10BaseT cable and NOT phone wire. Phone wire is NOT twisted pair. Don't
even use phone wire from the computer to the wall jack. Major network
headaches will ensue.

Dear Netters:

Hope this is the correct forum for the following question.
If not please hint me of some better one.

I have been using VTP FTP client for quite some time with great 
success. But yesterday ehen I tried to get a specific file on a 
specific FTP server I could not find the file at all. Thought it had
been deleted by mistake but checking it out with the manager it
should be there. And to my surprice it was there using Fetch 
instead. So evidently VTP FTP client could not id the files properly.

So I changed away from using VTP to fetch but today I to my
surprise had the reverse problem  on a different FTP server
- I could not find the files with Fetch but easily with VTP!!!

Does anyone have any idea of what is going around?????

Yours sincerely

Has anyone got PortShare or PortSharePro working as a
network access for a fax/data modem? We attempted to
use the demo version but found the following problems:
  1) Data was lost while using the data modem
  2) The 2 minute time period did not allow us to 
     evaluate the fax capability--it took nearly 1.5min
     to set up the fax and begin the connection, so there
     was NO chance to get more than about 3 blank lines
     out of the receiving fax machine.

I had a brief exchange of email with Hans-Ulrich Teufel
of Melog Software, but he hasn't replied to my questions
regarding the data loss or the possibility of getting a
longer timeout to try out the Fax modem.

If anyone is already using this sort of setup, I'd appreciate
hearing about your experiences with it. Or anyone with more
info on PortShare's suitability for this sort of application.

For all those that care, our test setup:
  MacIIsi with Sys 7, Tuneup1.1.1, PortSharePro (demo)
    DoveFax faxmodem with STF s/w.
  Phonenet connection to:
  MacIIx with Sys 7, Tuneup1.1.1, PortSharePro (demo)
    Zterm, maclayers, etc (e.g.: various terminal emulators)
