Subject: NBP type of DeskWriter/DeskJet ?
Date: 13 Dec 1992 14:40:53 +0100
Organization: "Geologisches Institut, Freiburg, Germany"
NNTP-Posting-Host: perm.geologie.uni-freiburg.de

I want to print from my Mac to a HP DeskJet that is connected to a Novell
network. The Novell system has a AppleTalk package that allows to print
from the AppleTalk net to printers on the Novell net. We bought the DeskJet
in the PC version and therefore, don't have any Macintosh printer drivers for
it. Now, two problems arise:

1) On the Mac side, which driver to use ? I pulled off a DeskWriter driver
from sumex-aim, and, since it should produce HP PCL output, I hope that it
will work for the DeskJet. Is that right ?

2) On the Novell net, I have to indicate the "NBP type" of the printer which
will be announced on the AppleTalk net so that printer drivers on the Mac 
will recongise it as the correct destination. Assuming that the DeskWriter
driver works for the DeskJet, what's the NBP type of a DeskWriter ?

Thanx in advance,

 Dominik

Hi,
   Could someone please send me a copy of the comp.sys.mac.comm FAQ, or direct

I am looking for info on gateways between internet mail and other e-mail

I know of two options for Mac SLIP available. One is MacSLIP from Hyde Park 
Software in Austin, Tex. The other is TCP/Connect II from Intercon Systems in 
Herndon, Va.

I actually use both, because my SLIP connection assigns a new IP number each 
time I connect, and I can't figure out how to get TCP/Connect II to deal with 
that (although I haven't relaly tried all that hard yet, either).

MacSLIP provides (along with MacTCP) a SLIP connection and login script. 
That's it. TCP/Connect II provides mail, FTP, telnet, terminal emulation, and 
a news reader.

I use MacSLIP to establish the connection and then TCP/Connect II to navigate 
through the various services. It works pretty well, although Nuntius seems to 
be faster than TCP/Connect II's news reader.

TCP/Connect II ships two versions: a stand-alone version that does not 
require MacTCP, and a MacTCP-version.

Intercon Systems is at 703/709-5500; Hyde Park Software is at 512/454-1170.

I'm sure it was not in the poster's mind, but beware of mailing
out your config file.  Some (probably older) NCSA telnet's come
with ftp turned on by default.  If you send someone a config file
from such a telnet, and your Mac is on directly on the internet,
then you are advertising that stuff on your Mac is available for
anyone to ftp! (while you are running NCSA telnet)

No.  Fax and data communication use completely different modulation schemes.
To send faxes, you will need to upgrade to a modem with fax capability.

Subject: How fast is the PB100 serial port?
Organization: Iowa State University, Ames IA
Date: Sat, 12 Dec 1992 22:51:09 GMT

I have a IIci and a PB100. Recently I brought a ZyXEL 1496E modem and
it works like a charm on my IIci, but not in my PB100.

I'm using ZTerm, same config on both machines. When I set the speed
to 57600 in ZTerm, I don't have any problem transferring files with my IIci.

However, when I want to transfer files on the PB100 and when I set the
speed to 57600, I always get error at the beginning of the transfer
and got hung up. Even if I reduce the speed to 19200, sometimes (1 out
of 5 times) I still got hung up. 

So, what's the problem here? Is that 57600 is too fast for the PB100 
serial port?

Both machines uses Sys 7.1 and I have the PB Tuner in the PB100.

PS. I'm dialing to a 14.4kbps V.32bis modem.

Please help.

Subject: Networking pre-System 7

I have an LC and an SE. I was hoping to combine the two to form a network so I
could double the harddrive space I have. Running a file server with System 7
on the LC is easy; all the stuff you need is in the System Software. That and
a printer cable will accomplish a sort of one way network: the LC is the host
and the SE is the guest. But the original goal was to have each computer host
each other so that applications and files could be shared BOTH ways. My current
set up only allows the SE to read the LCs drive -- the traffic is going one
way. So my questions are:
	But what about the SE with System 6.0.7? What is needed for this one to be a
file server as well? Is there something I am missing -- there is nothing in
the System Software that suggests this can be done. Do I have to upgrade this
one to Sys 7?
	And if this is a file server, can LocalTalk allow each of these two to "host"
each other? Am I wanting something that I can't have?

I've got a PowerBook 100 with the Apple PowerBook Modem, and am running Z-term.
I've yet to figure out how to get the modem to hang up. The phone is always off
hook when the line is plugged in to the modem. I have tried both the ATH0
command and the hardware hang up option in Z-term with no luck. Apple said 
I should put a "+++" in front of the ATH0 command, and that didn't work.

Does anyone have any good advice? It's a pain to have to plug and unplug the 
phone line everytime I want to hang up or make a new call.

	I'm confused.  Are you talking about LAT, as in the decnet terminal

Date: 19 Dec 92 06:21:21 GMT

      After having quickly scanned the FAQs and not finding an answer;

      With twenty years of computer experiance, I didn't think I was
   going to be too inconvienanced when I volenteered to help my neice.
   And then, I begun to ask about the Mac at work and discovered that
   of the other software engineers, those  having Macs didn't bother
   to program them. Now I am worried.

      I recently gave my neice an old diskless laptop for taking school notes
   and expected it would be pretty easy to  find a way for her to upload
   her text file(s) to her Mac.

     The laptop has an easily configurable RS232 port and a simple built-in 
   program for doing ASCII up/down loads.  The Mac too appears to have
   an RS232 port but how one gets to it is beyond me.

     We don't care about error detection or correction, after all, the files
   are short and so is the transmision path.

     Is there anyway to tell the   Mac to just start shouvleing in the
   characters until EOF (What is Mac's EOF character anyway ?).

     A real simple way would be great, like maybe the Unix equivilant
   of :  /dev/tty01 >myfile
    Or, if someone know of a simple free-ware program that will do a
   straight ASCII transfer, that too would be great.

   Thank you. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In general, V.32bis modem work fine with MacSE.  The only problem I have
is some applications do not have option for 57.6kps on the serial port or
some applications would not work if you set the speed higher then 9600bps on
the SE serial port(eg.  MacSLIP and ARNS client).
The most important part is you need a good HW flowcontrol cable.

Actually if you don't mind not having a full internet connection, NCSA/BYU

	This is NOT a limitation of the Macintosh Communications Toolbox (CTB)

I use MPW as my platform but am not sure how the tcp protocals work. The
information I'm looking for is how to telnet and ftp from a mac (already

Question two. Are there mac mail servers for macs already on the

Subject:    GatorLink - SupraFax/v.32

Hiho.  I'm working with a GatorLink Box from Cayman
and I've hooked up a SupraFax v.32 modem.  I've tried
calling it with another SUpraFax v.32 and haven't
been able to get a connection using ARA.

I'm using the ARA script file that was posted on
sumex-aim.stanford.edu in /info-mac/comm.

I also have configured with Cayman's software the GatorLink to
look at the modem as a SupraFaxModem v.32.

Suggestions?  I'm able to connect with a Pratcial Perferials 9600sa.
I would like to see the Supra's connect at their highest speeds.

Thanks
