The SupraFaxModem V.32bis I bought has performed equally well, with
the sole problem of not answering the phone when ARA calls.  The Supra
folx claim it may be a cable problem.  (It WILL answer the phone when
in Terminal emulation moide and I get a call...  go figure.)

This is CAP specific. The problem has to do with something called
a directory ID, which CAP does not implement properly. The next
release of CAP, which is being worked on now, should fix the problem.

>Question #2:  Does anyone know the reason, why SGi CAP apparently can not be configured for Ethernet phase 2?

Simply because noone has worked on the Ethernet driver for the SGI,
which I am told is a tricky business.

Direct further questions about CAP to the comp.protocols.appletalk
newsgroup which has become the home for CAP questions.

Eudora SFU contains two TEXT resources that hold the "Navigate In" and
"Navigate Out" scripts. The IDs are 2402 and 2403 respectively. Try
pasting your script into TEXT 2402 and things should work MUCH BETTER.
Now, of course, your problem is to restore the STR# resource to

	I have noticed several fast (14.4k range) data/fax modems coming out
lately that have voice messaging capabilities, as well as Caller ID, and the
ability to switch between data, fax and voice automatically on auto-answer.
However, all these are desk models.  I'm planning on buying a PowerBook 180
sometime after it's release, and am wondering if there is something similar for
the PB's?  Completely internal would be vastly preferred.  Rumors are also
appreciated. :)

A version of Stuffit for the PC would also be acceptable.  Our only Mac

Ya coulda just mailed me :-).  It's nice, though, to know that *somebody*
thinks my opinions are valuable.  (Are you out there, Alphonse?  :-<)

Eudora's ph window is an interface to a directory service. It's not X.500,
though; it's a much less ambitious (choosing my words carefully here) one.

If you look in the Eudora Q&A stack, you'll find a pointer to the site that
holds the server code (uxc.cso.uiuc.edu, pub/qi.tar.Z), as well as a short
perl script that implements a finger->ph translator, which can be run
somewhere to allow Eudora to get finger data through its ph window.  (1.3
final will have direct finger support, in addition to ph, BTW)  This script
could serve as a model for implementing an X.500<->ph translator.  While
such a translator certainly couldn't be complete from X.500's point of
view, it ought to be sufficient to allow simple lookups.

   Silly math error.  You (correctly) note that there are 8-bits per
pixel, and there are 307,200 pixels, but somehow fail to conclude that 
307,200 bytes (= 300K exactly) are needed.

   Au contraire:  a Quadra displaying a 16" screen in 24-bit mode needs
more than 2 Mb of VRAM.

   That IS using the Color LookUp Table.  Each color is defined by a 64-bit
spec (you have 65,563 possible settings of CMY and Black).  The CLUT allows
each 64-bit color to be referred to by an 8- (2, 4-, 15- or 24-) bit value.

Absolutely not.  A message is read only when the user indicates that he/she
has read and understood the contents (as indicated by a direct user action).
If I send you a 5000 line message, just because you display the first page
of it, surely does not mean that you have read (and also implied understood)
the entire message.  This is the problem with some current UA's - they wrongly
indicate comprehension by a end user when they should not.

The line gets even harder to draw when the message is "displayed" or opened
by something other than a MUA that displays it's contents directly to the
end user.

This is exactly what I implemented a few years back in a MUA I was working
on.  The default action was to ask the user if they wanted a return receipt
to be sent out.  They had to go out of their way to make the system always
(unconditionally) send return receipts.

Try booting with Extensions Off (Shift key at startup). Loading the
ethernet driver takes a lot of system memory. We get this message on
LC's and IIsi's with Asante, Apple, and Farallon cards and drivers if
we try to change the network connection with anything bigger than the
Disinfectant INIT loaded. Removing our standard collection of INITs
(just BeHierarchic 1.0.5, Disinf 2.9, Easy Access, SuperClock 3.9.1)
and then restarting fixes the problem.

	Hello.

	I am sending this out to several *.mac read-news groups, so sorry for
  repeat postings.

	I work at a company which creates software for Unix based workstations.
  However, our administration uses Machintoshes.  I need to get a program that
  will flawlessly run on the Macintoshes (so as not to confuse the admin
  people) that will allow them to mail each other and the rest of us on the
  Unix end of things.  They (of course) can telnet (or whatever) onto our
  main Unix machine and use regular mail like the rest of us... but that would
  be TOO hard for them to handle.

	So I would like to request information on mailing pacakges that work
  across platforms (like cc:mail by lotus or whatever).  All info and opinions
  would be greatly appreciated.

  Please e-mail ME directly, seeing as I don't belong to this read-news group!

I used FBBS for a week or two before buying Hermes.  It was releatively easy
to set up, but lacked the Zmodem protocol as well as many other features
included in Hermes.

Now, after running Hermes for almost a year, I still feel it is the best BBS
FOR THE PRICE.  For twice as much, you can get Second Sight.  For three times
as much (almost four?) you can get FirstClass.

FirstClass incorporates many of the features of BBS's that will be successful
for years to come.  As you can tell, I am strongly considering it for my next
purchase when my Hermes registation expires - perhaps sooner.

The only argument I have against FirstClass is its poor command-line
interface, and its lack of integrated FidoNet support.  I don't know enough
about it to say more than that.  I'll be getting a demo to work with in the
near future.  They just released version 2.0.

It's a bad idea to just try to copy files.  Install from your ARA disk

    Remote X traffic in many cases (NCD's xremote, as an example) is 
  *very dense* binary data. So are GIF and JPEG compressed images.

    Most modem compressions (say, V.42bis) are "inline" functions...
  That is to say, it's going to happen, whether or not is is doing any
  good, and the modems will be taking a bit of time to compress and to
  uncompress the data.

    It is possible for compression software to give you a *bigger* file
  than you started with, if you try to compress *really dense* binary
  data....(anybody see where this message is leading yet? ;-) If you
  don't believe this, try compressing a file, look at the size, then
  compress it again, with the same software, and check the size again...

    So, *in my humble opinion*, if you are going to run X, or move any
  *really dense* binary files over a modem connection, you would probably
  see better (i.e. "faster") throughput if you disable the compressions.
  (If your software (SLIP, etc) does any end-to-end error-checking, you
  might want to turn off the modems error-checking as well.) Again, this
  is only *my personal opinion*. Take it for what it's worth.
