Depends.  The Telebit has the provision to place the REMOTE modem
in command mode.  Chuck Forsberg used to do this on TeleGodzilla
to allow PEP connects.  It's used by Telebit Tech Support as a
debugging tool, as well.  HOWEVER!!!!! Most folks disable this
option, as well as disabling the escape sequences.

Quick question:

Is there a version of Waffle that would run on a SUN workstation under Unix
SVR4?  If so, where can I get it, who do I have to contact, how much does it
costs, etc?

Well, maybe current in the US.  Unfortunately USR doesn't seem to be in
any hurry to get them out to the rest of the world.  My friend works in
the company importing USR to Finland, and says trying to get them interested
enough to get into business is like talking into a vacuum cleaner.  And I
believe he knows what he's talking about, he stayed at USR for a month and
practically wrote the code for the Finnish release of the V.32bis modems
(after he'd got back here, he phoned them and asked when they were going
to ship him the first modems with his code -- "Er, this code ?  Were we
supposed to do something with it ?").

Well, we'd really be happy if USR would ship some of them outside the US !
And the FAX extensions would also be nice... still waiting.

I'd rather see it renamed to .BAD.

Yeah, I know, this is very inconsistent with how many things are done with
uucp, but imho there's a whole lot about the strategy in both HDB and
traditional uucp which I've never liked much.  At least Waffle doesn't
delete the .DAT and .XQT files as well, as would normally occur under
HDB.

Actually, there's this newsgroup called "control" which is devoted

First, the 'you' in the following diatribe is editorial, not

I would not want to think that we need to compensate for someone
else's mismanagment of a situation.  Call-waiting needs to be
DISABLED, or, ideally, not used in the first place (if you want
a social comment, I'll join you in an email discussion).  Neither
the modem manufacturer nor the software authors should even consider
ways to maintain a connection due to the call-waiting interruptions.
Call-waiting is doing exactly what it is intended to do: interrupt
the call to let you know another is coming in.

As for it being a 'hardware problem', I'm inclined to disagree.
Things are working as they should.  If you don't want your
modem session upset, don't use call-waiting, or, take measures
to disable it (I'd guess 95% of call-waiting applications offer
some means to do this, usually via some permutation of *70,
or 1170, or some other DTMF sequence).

Oh gosh.  You can't imagine the number of times I wish Waffle had this.
Once you get used to DOSKEY, it is extremely difficult to have to type in
an entire command (usually a SHELL command with a lot of parms!) just
because you made a typo in the previous invokation!

How 'bout it Tom -- this one isn't that difficult!

There's been an intermittent anomoly in the way our mailserver

is provided as an update.  If you did not get a reply to an
earlier request, please try again.  Remember, Waffle users
are GREAT beta-testers! :)

Send an email message to mailserv@halcyon.com with the following in
the text of the message, starting in the leftmost column:

One of our librarians, Vince Skahan, put together the mbas package,
and receives our heartiest thanks (we also got an update to Perl
in the process).

unpack.pl?  Sayeth Vince:

"unpack.pl is a cool (!) program that lets you just save the pieces in
order to a file (with headers, etc.) and it puts 'em together and 
uudecodes the result."  unpack.pl is a Perl script.

The mail server responds to a number of names...

I came across a neat utility from Dr. Dobb's Journal, DEVLOD, that allows
you to load and unload drivers that normally must be loaded in config.sys.
It seems to work appropriately, though I can't really say I've done extensive
testing of it.

I'm not sure that its copyright allows redistribution... but one would
almost have to hope that it's OK.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the
issue in which this appeared;  I thought neat enough at the time to dial
into their BBS and download it, thus avoiding typing mistakes.

UUENCODED, a PKZIP file containing all the files, including devlod.com, the
compiled/assembled output of Turbo C/ASM, the resulting file is 639 lines
in length.  Is that too large for posting to this group?  Does that violate
our charter?  If so, I'd be glad to email it to interested parties, or to
see that it's uploaded to appropriate mail-server/ftp sites.

(One of these days.. I might have to get around to installing a mail-server..)

As has been pointed out recently in this group, setting your STATIC and

Thnk-you.  I must have lost that piece of setup in some of my recent

I've heard of a problem with the new HST/DS (the 16.8/v.32bis model)
where it frequently loses its NRAM contents, but I'm not entirely sure
that this wasn't a software problem. Anyway, this problem occurs
frequently on a local system that uses something like 6 of the new DSs.
As far as simple v.32bis/v.42bis modems are concerned (which, as far as
I know, is all the Zytel is), I've had very good luck with a Twincom
14.4DF, and know several people who have had good luck with the Boca
14.4, both internal and external. I do, however, know of at least one
person who has had some major headaches with the Supra 14.4DF modems
though.

Urk. That's a fairly old release; the current revision is 1.22, with
1.3 undergoing prerelease testing right now. I'll put 1.22 on halcyon.com,

Missed the original post.  I run that here, and it's great.  Even running
it with Stacked drives.

My experience is exactly the opposite of this.  I've used many types of
peer to peer and other types of LAN, and for the money, you'll do better
with NL. It performs significantly better and is no less stable than
Lantastic.  Neither did I find Lantastic smaller, but I guess that
depends on what configurations you're comparing.
