No, it doesn't. The data just sits there waiting until you give the CTB

The CTB needs idle time periodically. Treat it like Text Edit: if WaitNextEvent
blocks a Text Edit-using process more than 15 ticks, the caret won't flash;
likewise, if WaitNextEvent blocks a CTB-using process too long, the CTB
won't process its data.

I'm having some problems with my new Supra modem.  Whenever I intiate
a connection with another computer, the login sequence is screwed up
by the sending oif a bunch of characters that look like js and @*.

I assume this is the modem trying to negotiate for error-correction
and compression, but I've tried using the \N switch to turn this off,
to noi avail.

ATDT \N 555-1212

Is the way I'm using it, since I never saw a specific example that
says otherwise in the manual.

is this negotiation-type noise?  And if so, why can't I turn it off?

OK, here's my problem.  I have a SUN server connected over ethernet to
a bunch of macs and pcs.  My program runs on the macs and pcs.  I need
to be able to access files on the SUN by path name and copy them down
to the mac/pc.  I know I can do this with FTP, but I want an API that
I can use in my program, not an application.  

It would be nice if the same API was available on the Mac and the PC,
but not required.

Any pointers?

Hi all,

We are having an interesting discussion and the following 
question has arisen.  I had thought that, with system 7, 
Apple had rolled what was formerly a separate package 
called Appleshare into System.  My partner says that 
Appleshare is still being sold.  

Our question is: if we buy Appleshare and install it on our 
network, what will it give us over and above what 
we already have with System 7?

Thanks.  E-mail replies welcome.

There are currently no PD packages that work with MacTCP to do what you want.  
There are at least three commercial ones.  As an alternative, if you don't 
want to spend the (40-80$ that one of the commercial ones will cost), is to 
use the cisco modified NCSA Telnet, that contains a builtin SLIP.

Go pick up Elliote Rusty Harrold's excellent FAQ for comp.sys.mac
from sumex-aim.stanford.edu.

To get it via ftp:

1.  At your unix prompt, type "ftp sumex-aim.stanford.edu"
2.  When ftp prompts for a login, type "anonymous"
3.  When ftp prompts for a password, type your email address.
4.  Then type "cd /info-mac/reports" to get to the proper directory.
5.  Poke around.  There's lots of good stuff in this directory.
6.  To retrieve a file, type "get <foo>", where <foo> is the name
    of the file.
7.  To exit from sumex, type "close" to disconnect.
8.  To quit ftp, type "bye"


Another good directory to check out at sumex is /info-mac/tips.

If you can wait, and know how to read network news, ERH also posts
his FAQ to comp.sys.mac.misc every couple of weeks.  Try "man <bar>",
where <bar> is the name of your unix news reader (e.g. rn, trn, nn),
for info on how to save posted articles to local files.

If you have access to GEnie, CompuServe, America-OnLine, or some
other online service, try to find & download the HyperCard stack
"The InterNet Tour 4.0.2" for an informative explanation of the
history and uses of the InterNet.  (This stack is also available
via ftp.)

For a more thorough discussion of the merits of various terminal
emulation packages, be bold & start a new topic in comp.sys.mac.
comm!  ZTerm, a shareware offering, is highly recommended (ZMODEM,
YMODEM, XMODEM, Kermit transfers; VT100 & PC-ANSI Color emulations).
Try "man Pnews" for info on contributing articles to a usenet news-
group.

Hope this helps, and welcome to the InterNet Macintosh community!

QuickMail enclosures sent over the internet from one QuickMail system to
another show up at the receiving end as enclosures just as if they had
remained of the local server. Eudora also knows how to retrieve enclosures
that originated in QuickMail.

Eudora is probably your best bet for this if you don't have QuickMail
installed.

Mike,
 
I've read Jeffrey L. Needleman inquiry about a piece of software being able to
dial a large number of digits, and his reference to Phone Pad (3.1?) from FGS.
 
I think I've found a very easy and un-expensive solution:
 
                  HyperDialer from Datadesk International
 
A little hardware device which plugs between a phone and the Mac audio port and
will dial tone pulses through the phone just as you would punching numbers.
 
Phone Pad will have to be configured to dial through the modem, which will
suppress the annoying message boxes Jeffrey was referring to.
 
I bought an HyperDialer ages ago, for around $10-15 dollars, from MacWarehouse.
I'm pretty sure they are still selling it, or at least something equivalent.
 
Hope this helps,
