	Oh, BTW, tests on the second card sometimes hangs the machine. It is a
strange hang, though. The keyboard still works, as does the mouse button. But I
can't get the mouse arrow to move! Weird.

Or my favorite Fetch, which is available from sumex-aim.stanford.edu.
The most recent version is always at Dartmouth. Try dartmouth.edu.

IMHO Fetch is much simpler for the occasional user. Xfer-It has scripting
though, allowing automation of file transfers.

My vote is for Fetch.

The crucial clue is to use MacBinary on both ends.  The rest of it doesn't
really matter as long it is the same.  MacBinary makes all the parts of a
Macintosh file into a single data stream.  This is a level of complexity
common to all Macintosh comm programs and not present on your Apple II.

Nancy--

You also need to get the POP Updater application.  The file(s) you
downloaded contain the update, but they require the POP application
to do you any good.  You should be able to find the updater on sumex.

It depends on how densely your machines are packed, though.   
Certainly if you have a lab of ten machines you want to hook them  
together with thinnet, although the cable drop to the room could be  
twisted-pair.  

One other thing:  Since it's SO MUCH cheaper to wire in advance than
later on, I'd strongly suggest putting in about ten times as much  
wire as you think you'll need.  You might consider fiber too...

  As a recent Mac owner I have found myself finding out the hard way what it    to have seperate data/resource forks.  Since I have a HST on my Amiga and only  the internal 2400 bps modem on a PowerBook, I used the Amiga to grab Mac files
from a local board, run on either a clone or a ST.  I have files in .sea, .sit,
.cpt, .unk and others and I can handle them if they start as .hqx. I use        CrossDos on the Amiga to put the files (say ZTerm.sea) on a 720k MS-DOS disk and
then use Apple File Exchange with all of the translation menu items off that I  can turn off. I then use ResEdit (which always opens a resource fork to open 
the files), 'cause its the only tool I have that I know will do it, and change 
the file type and creator from BINA and msds to APPL and EXTR (I think, I copiedthem from another .sea file) and save everything and voila, nuthin. Well error -192 occurs. Similar things for all other types. BTW, the .unk is for some peoplewho just uploaded a straight binary (MacBinary??) file.  Any ideas on how to 
resurrect these files or did I waste some time on the high speed data highway?
 
   Thanks for any info...

Eudora is best obtained by anonymous ftp to ftp.cso.uiuc.edu,
mac/eudora subdirectory.

If you can't use anonymous ftp, send a check for $15 payable to
"University of Illinois" to:

Eudora Package
CSO Accounting
1420 DCL, MC 256
1304 W. Springfield
Urbana, IL 61801

You'll get the Eudora distribution on three diskettes and a printed

Popper can be had by anonymous ftp to ftp.cc.berkeley.edu, pub/popper
subdirectory.

Darren-

(1)  A file ending with .HQX has been converted from binary to hexadecimal
text format using a procedure called BinHex version 4.  There is a Mac
program by that name that can be used to convert .HQX files.  A better
alternative would be to look for a copy of "Fetch", which does ftp
transfers and automatically decodes the .HQX files "on the fly".

(2)  The main reason you might fail with XModem transfers over a 7 bit
link, is the inability of that link to support 8 bits.  If the host has an
XModem implementation, it will automatically change from 7 bits to 8 bits
for the duration of the transfer, and switch back when finished.  That is
built into the XModem system, and should do make the switch at your end as
well.

There was a thread going earlier about Telnet freezes after a cold start which  
I'd like to revive since I don't think it was ever fully resolved.  I've seen  
this in several instances now--2 Mac II's, one on Sys 6 and one on sys 7, 2 Mac  
IIci's running System 7, all on ethernet with Asante ethernet cards.  I went  
in, dutifully replaced what I expected was a corrupt macTCP, restarted and  
everything worked great.  Of course the next morning, the prof. boots his  
computer which has been off all night, and the first TCP/IP thing he does hangs  
his machine, usually Eudora.  He restarts and everything works.  One reported  
that his problems started when he updated to system 7.  I've tried updating  
people to the 7.0 disk driver but that didn't solve anything.  Right now, I'm  
fairly suspicious of the Asante ethernet drivers, since that seems to be a  
common thread.  It would be helpful to me to know if others have experienced  
this problem under localtalk or using other brands of ethernet cards.

I just bought the wife a Quadra since she was whining about how slow her cx

with Ethernet.  The company store doesn't sell the Apple FriendlyNet
adaptors, but ComputerWare does for $139 each and they have to order them,
so I'm not in any hurry.  That means that I should find out what other
options exist for running a very small Ethernet (3 nodes) in conjunction
with a 2 node LocalTalk network (the PowerBook and a spare SE/30).

I realize my choices are thick, thin and twisted pair, but I don't know any
details, costs or advantages of one over the other.  What other companies
provide the same hardware?  I think Asante and Farallon do, but I really
don't know.

I also believe that I will need to run a router, with the Apple Internet
Router as an obvious choice, in order to allow the machines to talk on both
Ethernet and LocalTalk at the same time.  Can I actually run the router on
each Quadra so that we won't have to have them both on just to talk to both
nets?

I've received some queries about the current Eudora development
schedule and future plans.  Here is some information you may find
useful.  Please be aware that this is all still tentative.

Eudora 1.3 Release Date

I am hoping for an October release of the final version of Eudora 1.3.
The revised manual will probably take a little longer.


Features Still to Come in 1.3

Before the final release, I hope to add at least the following features:

+ Print Selection
+ [optional] log of eudora activities
+ Memory size suggestions when memory is low
+ Skip Big Messages will download the first few lines of big messages
+ Revised nicknames window (several goodies here)
- Second login and password for dialups
- [optional] re-wrap during paste
- Ability to assign priorities to messages
- Shift-arrow selections for text editing
- Move New... back to Transfer
- support for UNIX finger

Things marked with a '+' are already done, and will be in the next beta
release.


Eudora 2.0

After 1.3 final is released, I'll begin work on version 2.0.  2.0 will
have support for MIME (the new internet standard that allows for
pictures, sound, rich text, national character sets and file transfer
in mail, all in a standard way), AppleEvents (so that Eudora can be
used by other programs who want to send mail), and possibly a remote
mailbox protocol like IMAP or PCMail.  I have no estimate for a release
date for Eudora 2.0.


PC-Eudora

For those of you unfortunates with an interest in it, the PC-Eudora
work continues.  They tell me things are coming along, and that you
will probably see DOS and Windows versions come out before the end of
the year.  The feature set will probably be somewhere between Eudora
1.2 and 1.3.
