   Doesn't 6.0.X have a better way to do this than having to hard-code the name
   Preferences which might (will) fail on some International systems?

Nope, the official word is:

1) For system 6, use the name "Preferences" NO MATTER WHAT
COUNTRY YOU ARE IN. Since your only other choise is creating
a preferences document in the system folder, creating a folder
instead won't hurt, and a lot of people already use "Preferences"

HOWEVER (IMPORTANT !)

2) Under system 7, be SURE to use FindFolder for the kPreferencesFolderType
and DON'T depend on the name of the folder. Some programs (Stuffit
Deluxe 2.0, QuickKeys, Norton, AE Shadow, some hypercard stacks from
Apple, ...) use a folder named "Preferences" even under system 7.
Way uncool.

Jeff,

Software Ventures has announced, at least if you call them they'll tell you, 
Microphone Pro.  Microphone Pro sounds like Microphone II 4.0 with some new
features.

TCP/IP Services (Telnet, Ftp, etc.)
Send/Receive Fax Capabilities (utilizing the STF Fax Engine)

Microphone Pro is supposed to be available by the end of August, but in the 
software industry anything could happen.

You don't need to, but then ALL AppleTalk traffic on the ethernet will get
propagated to the LocalTalk segment.  If you use seperate Zone names and
numbers then you will be ROUTING instead of bridging, which means better
performance, especially on the LocalTalk side.........

Date: Sat, 22 Aug 1992 10:05:29 GMT

Hi all,
	I'm having problems using ZTerm with a 960 baud MegaPlus V-32
modem.  If I am using Z-Modem transfers, it works fine until it writes
a portion of the download to disk.  While the hard disk is saving, errors
start clocking up on the transfer ("Data Subpacket too long, CRC error" etc.).
Once an error occurs, it usually can't recover - the errors just cascade until
I hit "cancel" and resume the download.  My question is, can you fix this
problem?  It also occurs if ZTerm is placed in the background, which is a
real bummer.  I've tried the hardware handshake cable suggested in the
manual, but locking the port to a higher speed seemed to hang up my
connection, and setting flow control to CTS/RTS disabled the modem's
XON/XOFF, which is what my connection needs.

	Help!!

Eudora won't attempt any connections if you don't ask it to.

You probably want to pick up the UUCP instructions from ftp.cso.uiuc.edu,
mac/eudora/beta subdirectory.  While they're meant for UUCP, they will
also help you with any sort of mail input/output involving files.

Eudora can read mail from an arbitrary file, process attachments, run
the translation table, and all that other fun stuff.  It can write mail
to files, one message per file, with nicknames all expanded and attachments
binhexed for your transmission pleasure.

As for the mailbox format, Eudora uses the more-or-less standard UNIX
format.  It's very easy to parse.  But use the UUCP facilities; keep
your mitts out of the mailboxes, unless pain is your thing.

The only thing you might have trouble with is that Eudora really does
expect the messages it manages to be at least minimally RFC 822-compliant;
if your mail system is really out on the edge, a lot of things won't
work.  Of course, you may be able to cope by doing some reformatting.

Finally, think about trying UUPC 3.0.  It's free, and all it takes is
some friendly sysadmin somewhere who's willing to take your calls.

>Dorner object to my using his mail program just as a front end?

Use it for anything you like, unless you make money from it, in which
case you need a license and UIUC will want a cut.

ARA has always been included with all models of the Apple PowerBook 
systems. Also several mail order vendors have ARA, and its a little 
cheaper than buying from Apple.

LanRover/L is a great product. ARA is also great. I use LanRover/Ls and

YES! Oh, my friend!

I wonder why. I expect 57,600. Is it too fast for PowerBook 100?

It can be experienced with freeterm and MicroPhone 1.6 which are
bundled with GVC's. So I completely confused...

  Relating to this trouble, I hava a question...

  Looking into a PowerBook (100) developer note, PowerBook 100 modem
port (it's only internal. There is no external modem port for PB 100)
has truely RTS line. That means PB 100 (internal) modem port has, DTR,
RTS, CTS, instead the ordinary modem port has CTS and DTR. I think
"handshake" means manipulating these two lines (DTR & CTS) in
Macintosh, then how to do for PB 100 internal modem port? that means
"compatiblity". Is it needed to know the machine is PB 100 (using
Gestalt?) ?

  Because, a freeware auto pilot software for a certain BBS still
drops a character occasionally in 38,400 or lower. But never using
printer port.

  Of course, I installed "PowerBook Tuner" which is automatically
installed by GVC PowerPort installer.

You can address the cdrom volume if you use the ftp command

the info-mac/comm directory at sumex.stanfor.edu has a shareware

This should be no problem as long as you have an OS for the 512e that allows
the use of AppleShare.  Your LC is running sys 7 so there you just turn on 
the file sharing mode and share the disk.  THen on the 512ke you have the 
AppleShare extension installed int the system folder and connect to the LC
by using the chooser.

The only way to print from MacKermit is if the host initiates a terminal
print. I have done this on MTS by using the command $run *termprint
scards=filename and the output was captured by Kermit and then a menu item
called Print Captured Text became active. I suppose the same is possible
on Unix with the proper incantation of lpr.

MacKermit 0.99(xx) has a Print menu that is not greyed out, but it is
still not active (it just beeps). The plan is to have a working Print
menu, (i.e. one that can print any text in the window) but your guess is as
good as mine when this will finally happen.
