That is consistent with what I did, so I guess was wrong, and this really
*is* a software problem. I reported that my System Software worked just
fine on another Macintosh and it did, but that Mac did not have an
ethernet card.

Now that I'm armed with more specific information, I will do some more
testing and try to get to the bottom of this. Damn annoying!

On my modem, ATM0 (atm zero) shuts the speaker off; m1 is speaker on till a
connection is established; M2 is on at all times; M3 is the neatest--speaker on
except when
dialing or when a remote carrier is detected.  This means I can hear if I get a
busy signal,
or a ring, but not all the other noise.  I like this mode best of all.

Try Eudora.  It's free and it's a *great* program.  It's available at
ux1.cso.uiuc.edu.  The author is Steve Dorner (s-dorner@uiuc.edu).

We are trying to get hold of software that will allow one to use a PC
remotely from a Mac using a modem connection, i.e., the Mac would throw up
a window which echoes the screen on the PC. This would be similar to
Timbuktu, which allows Macs on Appletalk to do the same thing. I have a
lead in the name of a package called RunPC (from Argusy Software), but
none of the dealers here seem to have heard of it. Any info will be very
useful. Thanks in advance.

You could try looking at Peter N Lewis' "ftpd" program, available from

Subject: Eudora freezes Mac while printing
Organization: University of Toronto, Department of Industrial Engineering
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 1992 04:09:59 GMT

Hi,

Eudora will freeze up our Mac SE from time to time while it's printing.
This has happened for a while I'be been trying to duplicate the problem
and pin down the source.

I have tried a Mac SE with an internal Ethernet board (EMACS Speedlink)
and another SE with and external Ethernet board (Asante EN/SC). I also
tried two different EN/SC's to check that it wasn't the problem with the
external Ethernet adapter. In each case, the Mac SE has 4 MB RAM and is
running System 7. Eudora is set up to check mail for every 15 minutes.
I've tried both version 1.2.2 and version 1.3b34.  the same thing happens.
The machine will freeze up while people start printing (from Microsoft Word)
and the reset switch has to be pressed to restart the machine. Also, this
may be a coincidence, but this happens when the printer connected to is an
Apple LaserWriter IINT. We have one Mac SE which printed to a QMS PS-410
before and it didn't have this freeze-up problem, but it started to happen
after we switch to print to the IINT. The freeze-up only happens periodically
and I guess it happens when there is a print job in the background and Eudora
happens to check mail at that instant.

Does anyone experience such a problem and is there any cure for this?
Eudora is such a wonderful problem and I hate to go for another one because
of this problem. Any help will be appreciated.

Andy

	How about a picture:

         +---------+
	 | NetWare |
	 |         +----------- LocalTalk cable
	 | Int net |
	 +---------+

	There are three networks in the above diagram, the ethernet, localtalk,
	and the internal net.  Since there are lots of fast paths on the
	ethernet, we can consider it as configured with 644 and some zone
	name.  Now, when you say 'popped up with net=7261' I'm not sure what
	you mean.  I presume you're talking about the internal net?  That's
	the net number on the load appletlk line in the config file.  

	As far as the BS, each cable MUST have the same configuration: net
	(range) and zones list.  Each cable MUST have unique network numbers.
	The internal net is considered to be a cable.  It MUST have a unique
	number.  Do do NOT want to force it to be the same as anything else,
	and we won't let you.

	You don't discuss the LocalTalk cable's configuration.  If you need
	more help, please include the autoexec.ncf file.

Zoom doesn't sell the software separately.

Call up Mac's Place or another mail order outfit and get FAXstf.  Works

I have no trouble sending from a Unix host to my Mac with White Knight 11.14

But I can't get it to go the other way with either of the following:
- running "rz" on the Unix system and then choosing Send File with ZModem
- just choosing Send File with ZModem

The ZModem progress window just sits there waiting for the start signal.
How am I supposed to do it?  (I can do it with ZTerm, but that's not the

I wouldn't dare say RTFM to this question, having been there myself. Anyway, I
have yet to see a modem manual that was written to be read by human beings.

Now, to the answer. There are two possible ways to do this, at least
theoretically; one may not be available to you. First, check in your telecom
software to see if there is not somewhere a way to configure the volume of the
modem. (Microphone II doesn't have such an option, but the proprietary software
I use on CompuServe does, and I've seen a few general telecom packages that
offer such an option.)

Otherwise, you can edit the initializataion string that you use to reduce the
volume of the modem--or turn it off altogether. I think if you have a
Hayes-command-set modem, sending the command "atm0" will turn your modem off,
"atm1" will set it at low volume. You should be able to do this yourself, while
your modem is on but you are offline: just type these characters so they appear
on screen, then hit return. If you see the "OK" response, you are, well, OK.

I have my modem volume turned off permanently. The only time I turn it back on
is on the rare occasions when I have a problem dialing a new number. Turning
the volume on allows me to hear the person at the other end of the line
screaming bloody murder at my modem. Woops..... Good luck.

Hi, 
I have very little experience with networking, so I'm hoping to get
some help here.   I am using the VersaTerm SLIP and MacTCP to try
and connect to our cisco server which supports SLIP by typing in 
slip as the command. 

I can successfully connect to the server and go into SLIP mode 
using the AdminSLIP application. It also successfully picks up 
the correct IP address and sets this in MacTCP (set to use server
method for getting address).

The problem is that I then go into VersaTerm and try to open a 
telnet session but nothing happens. I get the little satellite
dish icon, but there is absolutely no activity on the modem.

My question is, assuming I do have a SLIP connection, shouldn't I 
see some data being sent by my mac to try and open a telnet session 
on the remote host? Is there something else I have to do to tell 
the VersaTerm application to use the modem port, or shouldn't MacTCP
be taking care of this?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, but our system managers aren't 
officially supporting slip so I can't really get help from them. 

Thanks, 
Peter
