I am trying to set up an FTP server on a Mac that is being used as a 
file server. I have a CD-ROM drive attached to the Mac and thought
it would be useful to make it available. I have NCSA Telnet 2.5 and 
I set it up to act as the server. The problem is it will not switch
to the CD drive. I tried making an alias of the CD and puting it in
the same folder as Telnet but that didn't help. Telnet sees the alias
as an empty file not as a pointer to a directory. Does anyone have
an idea how I could do this?

Thanks in advance

Hello!

I ahve a few questions about mac routers. I am wondering what ever happened to
the update to the Apple Internet Router? I had heard that Apple was working
on an update (3.0?) but I have not seen a release of the product yet!

I was also wondering if anyone out there has had experiences with Liason?
I am looking  to set up a mac IIx as a multi port router. Install a few E-Net cacards and maybe one of those multi serial port cards and set up a router
that can handle at least 2 E-Net zones and 3 or 4 local talk Zones? Has
anyone out there done this? If so what software have you used?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Juan

I do not have a supra but have you tried setting the "time-
after-carrier-lost-to-hang-up" variable, should be an S register
(if you're lucky). You'll have to set it to be a smaller time than the
duration of the carrier-disruptive call-waiting beep. It might be,
however, that the beep sounds sufficiently like bad data to an
error-correcting modem that the modem corrects across it.

Might take some experimentation, would be a shame to have to turn
off error correction to be able to be sufficiently disrupted
by call-waiting to lose carrier. Isn't technology wonderful!!

I have this problem on a Quadra 900 and on a Mac IIci. In both cases, the 
problem began after upgrading to the latest EtherTalk drivers (version
2.3.1) which also includes a mandatory upgrade to AppleTalk for System 6
clients (version 57.0.4). The two machines in question are running System
7.

I am interested in regaining this functionality, or understanding why it
went
away.

This is a known problem/feature of the QuickLink FAX init.  If its not 
QuickLink, then ignore this message.  QL Fax apparently takes data from
the serial port occasionally, probably looking for an incoming fax call.
I think ZOOM may have switched to FAXstf.

AppleEvents are the InterApplication Communication method built into System
7.
With AE you can send a message from one program to another.  The Finder
supports some simple AE, as does Hypercard 2.1 and MPW 3.3, ToolServer and
SourceServer (some of the latest development tools from APDA).  There are
more
and more programs supporting AE, mainly because the up and coming
AppleScript uses AE as its message system to do application scripting. 
Several programs already support AppleScript, including StuffIt Deluxe and
Excel 4.  Also, Frontier is shipping a scripting system based on AE and
mostly compatible with AppleScript.

I sent mail on monday to NCSA regarding the following, they have yet
to respond, so I figured I'd let you know what's available.

I have modified NCSA Telnet 2.5 to support the following new features:

* Home, End, and Page Up/Down all work like they should in a good mac program.
* EMACS or VT100 arrowkeys
   * configurable through config.tel for default settings, or specific hosts
   * configurable on open of new connection (radio buttons in config dialog)
   * cursor positioning with mouse (a la option-click) for either EMACS/VT100
      (I just added the EMACS, the vt100 positioning was there already)

I was considering option-arrowkeys for moving foreward/back a word
or page.  Also mapping the foreward-delete key to ^D would be useful.

If people want...I can add some other EMACS specific keystrokes to the list
features.  Let me know by mail.

(I'm not releasing this publicly, since I don't know what NCSA wants to do with
the modifications, or if distributing renegade versions upset them.)

Hopefully this post will speed things up.

  Here's a wierd one:

  When installing new Ehternet software I was opening up the Network
control panelit would not open, and I got the following error message (or
something close): "Appletalk improperly installed.  Please run the
Installer."  Which I dutifully did but to no avial.  I then ran virus
checks and hard-disk checks to dsee if the System was damaged, saw nothing,
so I trashed the System Folder and reinstalled: Same dialog box from the
Network cdev.

  After some careful hunting I found the problem: Appletalk was not turned
on under the Chooser.  Event though I had initalized EtherTalk extensions
in the Extensions folder.

  Thank you Apple for the oh so helpful dialog boxes, and the bill I ran up
at the local happy farm while trying to figure this one out.

  (Note: Apple has been notified about this very uninformative dialog box)

Macintosh Printserver v3.1

Here is our Autoexec:

mount all

load afp
load atps
load patchman

Right now, we will have to restart ALL routers on canpus to connect this
server to our EtherNet Backbone... I assume because this machine is routing!

What do I need to do to EASILY hook up to the backbone WITHOUT having to
restart all of our routers???

Do I really need to set this machine up as a router???

Our connection to the campus backbone has a CableTron bridge to isolate us
from unwanted traffic...

	1) This is nothing to do with Phase 1 vs. Phase 2.
	2) By definition, AppleTalk nets MUST have unique network number
	   ranges (or non-extended network numbers).  This is the AppleTalk
	   spec., not anything unique to NetWare.

>I know a server with an "internal" localtalk network and also

	It's not a LocalTalk network, just a special virtual network that
	we hang services off of.

>I have been told
>that it can't be configure to have the same network number as the rest of the
>network, that it must create its own.

	How else could the router make a routing decision?  You're really
	getting bridge and router confused here...  Or worse.

>Its not doing routing, just "bound" to the two separate networks through 
>a local and ethernet cards.  

	In NetWare, when you bind a protocol stack to more than one network
	(for IP, forward = yes), you will be routing.  Get a packet in one
	interface, forward it to or toward the destination network.  What
	do you mean, just "bound"?

>Why can't its network be 644 like all other nodes?

	All other nodes have network number 644?  I'm having a lot of

I'm unclear on the cost of MacTCP (our university has a site  
license), but before you call up apple and order it, you should know  
that to use it, you need to have reasonable connectivity.  A modem
doesn't really cut it, although you can, with things like SLIP or PPP  
drivers, use a modem for these services...but you won't see all that  
much of a speed increase over, say, zmodem.  

(actually, i see by your email address that you're in michigan.  If  
you're affiliated with a MichNet member universtiy (i think MTU  
counts) you are covered by the site license I mentioned above).

Just from Microsoft Weird?  Perhaps you should try a different program
