   No kidding - the thought of moving to Dialog has crossed my mind recently.
I should take them up on the beta testing they offered me. I like Paragon, but
if this lack of response to registered owners keeps up with StartNet, then I'm
moving on to better things. I'll give him a couple more weeks. <Sigh>

Organization: D.E.I. Universita' di Padova, Italia
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1992 10:07:58 GMT

I've downloaded yesterday Term2.3 and found out the same bugs the previous
version had (sorry Olaf!)
For example, when I click with the mouse on the title bar and then click just
under the title bar the program crashes! ( In this sense it is less stable than
the previous version, because if in version 2.2b this thing happened more randomly, in version 2.3 it happens in a very  scientific way ..).
Moreover, as in the previous version when downloading with zmodem protocol it says "unknown protocol" !

I have an A500 2.5MEGA RAM Kickstart 2.04 .

Hope to have been of some help for the developers of the best terminal program
ever !

    Bye

I am wondering if anyone would know the answer to this problem.

I am trying to acess a great amiga database full of awesome stuff
and I can do it virtually for free because I can go through my
school, log onto a sun, and rlogin to the system server and do
error free z-modem downloads.  It's a pretty awesome setup except 
for these grad students who answer the phone everytime I dial in.
I tried to get it accross to them, that when they don't hear
anyone talking, it's probably a modem.  The modem isn't
dedicated, so that stinks I guess.

My problem is when I call my school maiframe, I am limited to
using telnet to connect to the sun then to rlogin from there.
When I download, I get tons of block sync errors because telnet
is not 8-bit clean.  Is there anyway to get around this problem.

Greetings all.  I'm running JR-Comm v1.02A (registered and eagerly awaiting the
upgrade....) and I've been meaning to ask for the "best" settings to use for
buffer sizes?

Actually, I'd be more interested in a tutorial -- what is the tradeoff?  Why
not a HUGE buffer?  Does a small buffer make for better xfers?  I think you get
the idea.  Also, I have a Supra v.32bis modem, so I'm particularly interested
in settings for high-speed modems.  (But NOT the modem setup; the question is
about JR-Comm settings).

Post here for others' edification if you like, or just e-mail me ... my mailbox
has been empty for quite a while :-)

Lemme guess.  GVP harddrive controller?  GVP caused a few problems with
serial transfers with their large transfer block size.  There is a program
called GVPPatch, which makes this "transfer block size" smaller (also a new
version went out recently), and fixes the problem for some peoples system.

 WW> Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

If you are not running a GVP, i'd guess you are running a non-DMA
controller.  If so, then your basically out of luck unless you get a serial
board (assuming A2000) or a new controller.  Non-dma controllers are
sometimes faster than DMA controllers (although not necessarily), and they
get their speed by using your CPU to do the work.  This of course affects
your serial.device's transfers, as it also uses the CPU.

  I agree.  If users realize that this is the decision and that it's not
an 'XPR limitation' then I have no problems.  My personal problem is that
quite a few very good Zmodem implementations exist, but I cannot use
any of them.  I'd likely be willing to pay half the JRComm registration
fee for a very well written XPR Zmodem (Well, with options to do the
additional features of ZedZap and DirectZap as used in Fidonet).

  At the moment (Well, starting tonight anyways ;-) I am running a
slighly modified mixture of XPRZmodem 2.10 and 2.50 with the ZedZap
enhancements (8K packets, recieve/send 0 files in batch mode) written
by Yves Konigshofer, but I suspect that if time were put into it, a much
more optimized version could be written.

>Personally, I would love to see the XPR series up to speed against JRC.

  So would I, but the more people that have this belief that 'XPR is bad', 
then the less likely someone is going to actually spend the time to do it.
There eithor has to be a 'market' for the product, or an extremely large
personal desire 'for the betterment of all'.  I'll bet that the for most
things the 'Market' has to exist first.

>Even programmers have to eat.  Twinkies ain't cheap.  I certainly can't

  This is exactly what I'm saying.  Instead of chanting the "XPR's are
bad" that 'certain' individuals want to insist on, lets encourage 
forward development.  If 'totally integrated' packages are what people
wanted, why pay the higher price of the Amiga when one can get these
silly 'totally integrated' packages for the P.C. cheaper :-(

>that.  I'd also like to see an XPRPunter (but dream on), and a few other

  Why dream on?  Why assume that it would never happen?  If enough users
wanted it and created a 'market', or a programmer wanted it for themselves,
it could very easily happen.

Remember that there has to be some pauses before and after the ~~~ other-

setting, remember to remove the Hangup-string

     I think that you guys are arguing over something that has nothing to do 
with the original thread.

     Someone pointed out that Ken Pletzer Cut and paist King of Cnet fame Used 
Steve Drews Aux handler without permision. THis program was not Public domain. 

Fact 1 Steve Drew Posted within the past week the fact that Ken never asked. 
(See I'm doing checking which you who are arguing should at least spend a 
little time doing in stead of Blowing out Hot air). 

Fact 2 If you for some reason you do not feel Like supporting someone who 
steals code in this mannor. Just pull out either 1.0 or 2.0 Cnet realease 
disk, use New zap And Search for Steve Drew in CNetAUX-handler. You will see a 
notice that says (c) Steve Drew. The New versions just carry the Endcli 
endcli which follows were the copyright noticed shows up. Ken Obviously didn't 
know enough about the code to relize this notice was in there. (thats probably 
the sadest fact. other then my rotten spelling that is.)

Fact 3 The only reason this thread should continue is if theres other facts 
that need to be mentioned. I'm sorry, but I find it dificult to read post like 
well "it's there problem" or, "If he does it a little it's okay." That stuff 
is hopefully the opinion of a few.

in Europe cooked up and released a couple months ago, that's another story,
and a VERY unfortunate choice of names, if ya ask me.

     From my experience, if you study from somebody's code, it's GOOD
code and is generally hard to revise/optimize.  If it's good code, use
it.  I don't have a problem with that.

X-NewsSoftware: GRn 1.16e (7/4/92) by Mike Schwartz & Michael B. Smith

Any ARexx programmers having troubles getting your ARexx scripts working,
the manuals for GPFax supplied from SUPRA contain a few typo's in the
AREXX commands that you need to change:

AUTODATAFAX ===> AUTOFAXDATA
LOCKcps     ===> LOCKBAUD
cpsRATE     ===> BAUDRATE

We are sorry if these have caused any problems - this has only just recently
come to our attention.
