Subject: Termy and PB170 keyboard...
Keywords: cursor pb170 termy vt102
Organization: University of Victoria
Date:  4 Oct 92 18:12:10 GMT

	I'm using Termy 2.0 to connect to a unix host from my PB170
(internal modem, Hayes modem tool, VT102 terminal tool, VT100
terminal, $term=vt100). 

	The problem is that I can't seem to send cursor commands. 

	Actually, I'm not sure the problem is with Termy -- I
experienced the same thing with PacerTerm. PT, however, lets you remap
your keyboard so I was able to define the arrow keys to send the
appropriate values (i.e., <left-arrow> = esc-OD, etc.)

	Is it possible that the VT102 terminal tool just plain doesn't
understand PowerBook cursor keys?

	Termy is such a slick, clean, functional program (and Tim
Endre's new TGE TCP Tool is so much better than PT's telnet tool) that
I really want to fix this problem.

	Any suggestions?

	Thanks.

	Michael.

Subject: PowerBook 100 Apple Fax modem makes no noise (ever!)
Followup-To: poster
Keywords: powerbook, faxmodem
Organization: New Mexico State University
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1992 04:51:35 GMT

hello,

I recently purchased 2 Apple fax modems from someone on the net to put in
PowerBook 100's.  They seem to work great, faxing, MNP, v.42bis, etc, but
one has a strange problem:

It won't make any noise.  No matter what the L and M registers (or whatever)
are set to, it makes no noise.  Not during dialing, not after connection,
not ever.

I like having the option of muting the modem at times, but when debugging
connections to new places, it is really useful to have the speaker work.

I know the modem doesn't have its own speaker, but I'm not sure how to
proceed next.  I have tried using the PowerBook whose modem doesn't work
as a hard drive on the PowerBook whose modem does work.  Since the noisy
modem still works when booting with the quiet one's system, I am just
about positive it isn't a software problem.

The one that doesn't work has an envisio video card in it, with 2M on
board.  The one that does work has a 2M Apple expansion card in it.

I don't think either of these make any difference, but you never know...

I've checked the modem settings, and even reset both modems with AT&F.

Same effect...

Please help!  I plan on reseating the modem tomorrow, and if the problem
persists, I will swap modems and see if the problem moves with the modem,
the computer, or neither.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this before?

Thanks,

Vaughan

Your friendly hacker has just completed his latest silly obsession.

I have completed the TGE TCP Tool. This is a CTB tool that provides
for connections over MacTCP. It can be used as a TELNET tool to login
to other hosts via TCP-TELNET. It also has a "Transparent" mode for
binary uses such as UUCP. You can specify the port number for the
connection, and use a button to perform hostname lookups.

It is available for anonymous ftp:

There is a program called Talk by Peter Lewis which can be found at

The program works pretty well for a TCP based talk.

Subject: bug in BinHex 4.0?
Date: 6 Oct 92 22:56:10 GMT
Organization: Eaton-Peabody Lab, Boston, MA

Recently I downloaded a number of binhexed files from various InterNet
archive sites.  All but one can be converted just fine with BinHex 4.0.
The file that fails, WHITE-KNIGHT-1114-UPDATER.HQX, gets a checksum error
of $5190 after 32Kb.  BinHex 5.0 also fails in exactly the same way.
However, this same file appears to convert correctly (at least no error
is reported) with both DeHQX 2.0 and Compact Pro 1.33.

The problem doesn't appear to be a bad copy of the binhexed file.  Just
to be sure, I've downloaded copies from other archive sites.  In all cases,
the files are identical.  I know this isn't a definitive test since archives
copy from one another, but at least it proves my download wasn't messed up.

The problem doesn't appear to be a bad copy of BinHex 4.0, either.  I've
downloaded copies from several archive sites (sumex, apple, rascal).  These
are either identical to or substantially the same as my copy of BinHex 4.0
and they fail in exactly the same way.  The failure also doesn't seem to be
dependent on machine type or system version because I've tried several
variations of each and the failure was consistent and reproducible.

Anyone know what's going on?  Seems to me I've seen this problem at least
once before.  Then I just ignored it, but this time I'm just plain curious...

We've been using NCSA Telnet for the PC; this has a keymapping
facility, using a keymap file whose name is given in the config file
(CONFIG.TEL on the PC).  It may be that in your keymap file, <ESC> is
remapped to the ` key (and vice versa).  This is a common desire in
the PC world, since the keyboards have changed in layout over the
years, and the old-timers kinda like the layout they grew up with....

I assume there is an analogous set of files in Mac NCSA Telnet.

Here is another complaint re FaxSTF.  Background applications are supposed
to flash the "Current Application Icon" in the uper right corner when they
have a message for you.  FaxSTF instead of doing this comes right out to
the for front and gets in the way.  I find this MOST annoying.

Another complaint.  As of yed any method of opening up a Partial fax, i.e.
one that was received "unsuccessfully", but where at least part of it came
thru.  Many people send faxes from machines which tell them exactly which
pages did not get sent.  So, Person A sends me a fax.  Pages 1-4 of 5 get
here, but not 5.  Person A's machine tells him this, so he resends page 5
and page 4 just for safties sake.  Supposedly I have everything, but
actually I will have to call him to let him know what hapened.  Most
annoying.

MIME may not be a bad idea, but I don't think it's time has come for news.
If I'm not completely mistaken about MIME, it's primarily for multimedia mail,
such as sound or graphics.  Usenet news has a de facto limit of about 64K
before it really starts to hurt many sites (see the news.* groups for the
argument about this), and it wouldn't take long for a MIME document to get this
big.....

I've been using 1.3b90 for a few days now. One of the nice new features has
to be the completely new Nicknames option. The only nagging thing is that
instead of double clicking on a nickname to select it, it just toggles its

I disagree in the case of a TCPActiveOpen. Any good program, I would
contend, should immediately give up on the first ICMP destination
unreachable on an open. If the user wishes to attempt the open again,
that is fine, but that is better than trying to second guess the user
on how long is OK to wait. Providing a user configurable timeout is
fine, but waiting for TCP to time out is not. Not that UNIX should
*ever* be taken as gospel, but as an example, most UNIX TCP programs I
know abort the open attempt immediately on an ICMP destination
unreachable.

>A series of ICMP unreachables is probably meaningful, but it's easier just to

Easier, yes, user friendly, I'm not convinced. My gut says that a good
program should have some set default (perhaps 5 destination
unreachables in a row) before aborting the connection and reporting to
the user some network trouble. This should of course be configurable
for power users. I find, for example, Eudora's method of reporting:

"ICMP destination unreachable. This may or may not be important."

confusing to the average uninformed user, and certainly not telling
the user when it *is* important and what to do if so (i.e. cancel,
continue).

Maybe we should move this to comp.protocols.tcpip if it continues?

Help,
I am puzzled by this particular problem. I hope some one has some idea
about what cause this problem or point me to the right direction.

I have a MacII running system7 with tuneUp1.1.1 and 5Mb of memory.
The mac has ethernet card.

At night, when no one is around, the Mac crash with Finder Error.
This has happened every night. Nothing is running on that Mac except
finder. Every morning I find the Mac with the finder error and has no
idea what caused it to crash.

The Mac has no funny stuff in it. The Mac is basically used for NCSA
Telnet and MSWorks and nothing is running at night.

The funny thing is that the problem happen to all macs in the same
subnet a few weeks ago and moving the mac to a different subnet stop
the crashing. I still have one Mac on the subnet and it is always
found crashes every morning. I want to find out what cause the problem
and moving the mac around to different subnet is not a solution
because whatever caused the problem will still exist.

The problem exist no matter which Vendor's ethernet card is used and
moving the mac to different subnet seem to stop the morning crashes.

If any one has ideas please let me know ways to fix this problem.
Some people here suspect that the ethernet driver for the ethernet
card is not handling bad packets or bad signal properly and that cause
the crash. I believe Apple is providing the ethernet driver to all the
vendors so it could be something to do with Apple Ethernet drivers.


If any one can help and put me to the right direction, please do.
If you have had the same problem, please let me know.

Thank you for your help.

All I can say is that it works fine for me. I have a GV TelePort. I'd
