I use a Supra v.32bis modem on an SI with a software flow control cable
and Zmodem 0.9 set for software flow control.  I have had no problems
at all doing v.32/LAPM and v.32/v.42bis connections with numerous
sessions and downloads.  The DTE speed is set to 57600.  At home I use the
same modem and software with a hardware handshaking cable, with Zterm set
to do hardware handshaking.  I notice the same perfect performance using this
setup on my SE/30 at home.

Perhaps things would break down doing v.32bis connections with the software
handshaking scheme.  I've only tried it once with the SI & software hand-
shaking.  Here is the logfile entry for that download from the Hayes BBS:
6/26/92	3:45 PM	RZ	57600	111386	35	3156	54%	WSU unix	text109k.txt

This 3156 cps is comparable to tests I've done at home with the same
file.

I conclude that you can just use software handshaking without any
problems.

Can anyone out there give me a (subjective) reading on how common
EtherTalk and TokenTalk PHASE ONE is in the wide, wide world.  As I
understand it, there really was no TokenTalk Phase One and the only
two Macs that supported EtherTalk Phase One were the Mac II and the
Mac IIx.

Maybe some of you folks that work for router vendors can give me an
idea.  I work on packet-filtering and packet-decoding software and I'd
like to know whether it is worth the effort to do filters/decodes for
EtherTalk Phase One.

You can either post here or email me.

If you read netnews every day, or more than once a day, and only a few
groups, then you can get away with these "lists" and only read what you want,
marking everything else as read.  But many of us subscribe to dozens of
groups (we have wide-ranging interests!), and do *not* get to read netnews
every day.  For example, today there are well over 150 articles in this one
newsgroup alone (since I last read the news last Thursday).  I didn't use
kill files for a long time, and it is incredibly taxing to scan thousands
of subject lines looking for items of possible interest.  Rn's kill files
are vital to me, even if I had a wonder graphic interface.

And don't forget that some of the time (it seem like most of the time) the
subject line doesn't reflect the contents of the posting; most people are
too lazy or too ignorant to change the subject line when their follow-up is
not about the same topic.  Using kill files I can ignore any article whose
contents contain certain key words and/or phrases.

Hello, netters!
 I recently got a powerbook 100. Appletalk Remote Access came with it.
 So, I tried to install it on MacIIsi and powerbook 100. 
 Installer said installation was successful. So reboot the machine,
 and I opened 'Remote Access' then I got
 
 '.. Installation is not proper (or extension off)....'

 I reinstall again but got same message.
 Is there something I miss here? Is there any known compatibility problem?

Notice of Upgrade to Hytelnet for the Macintosh.  version 6.2.2

This version will work over a network, and will be able to use
the IBM PC data files.  The numbering system and directory structure are the
same as the PC version.

If you want a copy of this version of Hytelnet please send a note to
Charles Burchill <burchil@ccu.umanitoba.ca>.

The complete set comes as a 560K binhex file so make sure that your
mail package will support mail of this size. It may be available from
access.usask.ca in the near future.  If you only want the HyperCard stack
please make that clear in the letter that you send to me.

Hytelnet comes as a binhex'd self extracting archive: Hytelnet for the
Mac.  You will need about 1.2Mb free hard disk space, HyperCard 2.x.
The archive contains Hytelnet, a hypercard stack that reads the raw
data files from Peter Scotts Hytelnet.  It also contains a 'Hytelnet
data' folder containing many folders with the Hytelnet data files (700+).

Modifications from the last version:
- Finder Events XCMD added to allow the use of some apple event to communicate
  with the finder. This is mainly used to open Telnet and TN3270 without
  having to worry about the name or location of the program.
- Configuration items have been moved to a configuration dialog.
- Using the Configuration settings the Telnet, and TN3270 applications can 
  have other names and be located in a variety of locations, along with the
  configuration files.
- A button has been added that will extract the site files from letters coming
  frmo the LIB_HYTELNET mailing list.  The headers will be stripped and the
  file will be saved in the appropriate folder with the name that occurs
  in the letter. The site names will be saved in a seperate file
  "New Site Names 'current date'". The site name lists are not
   automatically updated.

Binhex'd files may be unarchived using binhex 4.0, Stuffit, Compactor Pro,
Tickler and many other common archiving programs.

information sites by Telnet.  It is available for IBM PC, Unix, VMS and

Step one: throw away Telnet as the server.
Step two: define your AppleShare privilidges for users, install MacTCP and
          enable filesharing.
Step three: Install FTPd and send $5.00 to Peter Lewis at Curtin.EDU.AU.
Step four: sit back and watch it work.

Red Ryder is *not* supposed to be posted anywhere. This was by request of

sorry, I do not have the original message from Mr. Watson, but it is (or
at least used to be) common knowledge the RR is not be distributed.

RR is very old. It is not an adequate demo of White Knight's capabilities
and I think it is not likely to be stable on many new Macs or
fully compatible with System 7. Heck, I recall having major problems with
it years ago under System 6 (or was it 5?).

 If anyone knows where this file might be located, I'd greatly appreciate it.

You need to tell the modem to ignore DTR.  (This is actually in the manual,
in the section titled Troubleshooting.)  On many modems, the command
AT&D0 will do it.

sounds like a handshake problem:  works until it becomes necessary for
zterm to pause, then screws up and never recovers.

so, choose the same handshake on both ends (your end and the other),
either sofware (xon/xoff or control s, q) or hardware (cts/rts).
both have worked successfully for me, but hardware is generaly
preferred, due to speed and more importantly lack of interference or
confusion with data.  hw handshake requires a special cable...you
can buy one from macconnection and other sources.

i don't understand why you say you need sw handshake.  also, the right
hw handshake cable (the one i bought from macconnection, e.g.) will
allow either.  

so...see if you can solve your handshake problem.

zterm works fine for me and lots of others....good luck.

I had similar experiences, although I never got to the point of actually

found that I never got any replies to my mail, despite ringing overseas from
Australia, and that in fact I was barred from logging in again under my

	I, too, had this problem. It happened after I installed AppleTalk
57.0.4. Because of another system error, I was forced to totally rebuild my
system file using the 7.0.1 disks. This gave me the old version of AppleTalk
(whatever comes with 7.0.1). Still no icon in MacTCP. But then someone
suggested erasing the PRAM by holding down command-option-P-R on startup.
Voila, the icon was back. Perhaps PRAM must be rebuilt for the old AppleTalk to
be used. Hmmm... or perhaps AppleTalk 57.0.4 would work just by erasing PRAM.
I'm not going to take the time to try it, but perhaps you could, lil.

 Can anyone verify this is actually possible? Does the 512E actually
