One possible solution is EtherShare from Helios Software in Hannover. This
is a Unix-based high-performance Apple HFS file/print/mail/terminal/admin
server software for various Unix platforms including Sun. It also
routes between Ethernets, and (with Helios's SLIC LocalTalk card for
Sun SBUS) to LocalTalk too.

Mail my info server at fileserver@macdavid.han.de Subject: Ethershare
for more info. I only polll 3x a week, so if your mail bounces try
again, or try me at dave@helios.de. Helios also has a distributor
in California.

I also have a Mac LC with the same problems (my most common one is having
the zero dropped when typing "08").  Some time ago I heard of several
complaints about the "new" standard keyboard, but never heard what the
resolution was.  Does anyone know for sure?

What GIF viewer are you using?  I use QuickGIF which will correctly
open "text" files that end with ".gif".  After viewing the file,
QuickGIF will change the file signature fields so that you can "drag
and drop" the file later.

Chuck

P.S.:  BTW, what GIF file were you trying to view?  And what level of
grays or color do you have your monitor set to?  Most GIF files
require 8-bit (256) colors (grays.)

Organization: Illinois State Geological Survey

I have been picking up bits and pieces of info on use of the new Supra V32bis
modem. I have one on order via the sysop program, but it sounds like I may
be waiting awhile longer given what I read today on the newsgroup.

Anyway for those mac users who have their modem already I am interested in 
knowing more about how well it works with your mac. I have the hardware
handshake cable already, but I would like to know more about important
initialization strings/registers that you have found so as to save myself
some of the learning curve. What kind of strings are useful/important with
the mac?

I am going to be using this on a Mac BBS so I am wondering about such things. 
The modem will be used with the Telefinder BBS software and the tabby
fidonet mailer software. So any problems things I should know about using
the modem with such packages would also be of interest.

Thanks in advance. Feel free to post here if you feel the info is of
generic enough interest, otherwise just send email. Thanks.

Yes, there are several programs which will uudecode the files on the
Mac.  One of them is UMCP Tools which should be available at
sumex-aim.stanford.edu .  I prefer to decode the file on the host and
keep the connect time lower sending a smaller binary file.  Of course
some modems don't seem to do well with sending binary transmissions
so this is something that you should check empirically.

Strange things are going on with my set-up:

Talking with UT's 9600 baud lines (all those modems should support V.42)
zTerm v0.9 (hardware handshaking, 8N)

If I type 98 very quickly, it sometimes comes out 984. I've tried
all other permutations, including X8, and 9X (with X=whatever),
but didn't get this problem (or any other). In fact, I have only
managed to produce this problem typing the numbers on the main
part of the keyboard, not the '98' on the numeric keypad.

Versions of Eudora from 1.3b27 through 1.3b33 had a serious bug;
specifically, choosing "Create New" when you are told that a table of
contents was out of date sometimes resulted in corrupted mailboxes. 
Version 1.3b34 fixes that bug.  Users of 1.3b27, 1.3b28, and 1.3b33 are
strongly encouraged to update to 1.3b34 immediately.  The bug does not
affect earlier versions of Eudora (ie, 1.2.2 or 1.3b8).

The files are, as always, on ftp.cso.uiuc.edu; mac/eudora/beta/README and
mac/eudora/beta/eudora1.3b34.sit.hqx

RELEASE NOTES

Warning--these are my change notes; they may mean little or nothing to you.

1.3b34

+ IMPORTANT BUG FIX - fixes probem with "create new" choice of "out of date
  table of contents alert".  The bug was introduced in version 1.3b27, and
  is quite unpleasant.  Users of 1.3b27, 1.3b28, and 1.3b33 are VERY
  STRONGLY URGED to update to 1.3b34 immediately.
+ Added cancel button to out of date toc alert.
+ Added pref 59, for those who want faster but less safe mailbox handling
+ fixed bug with positive time zones

I don't normally announce beta releases of Eudora in this forum,
but I want to be sure that all beta users get this one.

Hi.  My friend has an Apple Lisa and no documentation.  He would like to
use a modem with it.

1.  Where can we find a cable to go from Lisa's ports to a modem?  It
seems to have 25-pin parallel and serial ports.

2.  Where can we find the pin-out information?  A local Mac shop said
they'd make a cable for us if we get the pin-outs.

3.  Which communication software works on a Lisa?  Do mac programs work
on it?  Do I have to do anything special with it?

4.  Where can we find general help with using Lisa?

Both of us are novices at this stuff.  Thanks a lot for your help.

Date: Sun, 12 Apr 92 02:54:54 GMT
Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services  (408 241-9760 guest) 

one guess:  the modem you're calling (at the other end) is confused by the
pb modems attempt to establish a reliable (MNP5) connection...this is a 
negotiation that occurs after the speed negotiation (that got the 2400bps).
it's too bad the manual with the pb modem doesn't explain all the registers...
but by comparing to another 2400bps MNP5 modem (practical peripherals)
i looked up the command to turn off the mnp stuff and found the folloing
works:
   at\n0
and to turn back on mnp5 at\n3 or just atz or at&f (recall factory settings).

so it isn't really the pb modem...it's the other one, and lack of pb modem
documentation.

btw...i've never foundmuch advantage from the mnp5 reliable connection
and compression.  i suppose if you have noisy lines it could be a big help.
i noticed i can pick up the phone and yell into it with no noise on the
screen.  but file transfers are between 0 and 20% faster...not worth the
hassle, in my opinion, that the original poster found.  i have the same
opinion of v.42bis, except that with the new chipsets v.32bis/42bis is
becoming quite common.  too bad apple didn't put that into the pb170!

hope this helps.

Send mail to tickle@ice.com for more info. (I can't seem to find the ftp

For the uninitiated, Tickle is an AppleEvents-compatible scripting system
(a la Frontier) that has a bunch of file conversions (.Z, .sit, uuencode,
binhex, tar, etc.) and other utilities built in. All can be driven under
script control, and Tickle can be driven (or drive) by other AE-aware

Well, Mike, I'm useing my supraFax v32.bis for ARA to both 2400 and 9600
baud modems, and yes, I occasionally get disconnected for no apparent
reason. What seems to be happening does look like line noise, though.
Since there doesn't seem to be any one thing that causes it. I've kept
connections open for 8+ hours before. And then there are the ones that
die in 30 mins...

ARA does have built in error correction, but its in the macintosh and not
on the modem level.  Now, I'm not sure, but it seems to me that this
moves the level of correction to a point where its to late to correct
some errors. If you have a noisy enough line, the errors on the
connection are going to overwhelm the modem and you will lose the
connection because the modem lost the carrier, not due to the errors in
transmisison. I've talked to some people at apple about this, and they
tell me that this was done to make all modem work with this, as well as
insure that the data stream to the ara interpreter (or whatever it is)
arrived at a constant rate. I keep meaning to rewrite some modem scripts
to allow the modems to do error correction to see if this helps anything,
but I don't have the software to write them and the hack is a royal
pain... Anyone know of any good way to write this without the stuff from
apple or should I just bite the bullet and buy it?

In a similar vein, a script that fully supports the supraFax v.32bis
would be very useful, if someone can tell me where to find it.

In the CCL line, this might indeed cause problems, but I would think that
the problems this would cause would prevent the thing from working at
all, and not cause the problems you are experiencing.
