MacWoof is a Pointing package; you still need a mailer to get it
to do anything useful.

Tabby is currently the only available Fido mailer for the Mac. It's 
a bit arcane, and a bit slow, and a bit under-powered, but a new
version will be available RSN (famous last words?) which will bring
us Mac folk up to speed with the rest of FidoNet. (or, a little
closer to up-to-speed.)

Tabby costs $80 (maybe $85, I forget). I don't have the author's
mail address right here; e-mail me and I'll get it for you. 
(I'll get it for anyone else, too, or post it to here when I get
home.)

The support is pretty good - although Tabby is a b@!#C to set up,
it is actually quite simple once you know how :-) The TABBY
echo on FidoNet is full of people who can help, in case you get
lost.

I believe that the message from Scott was that Red Ryder was moved into
freeware and would no longer be supported by Freesoft. I, just as the previous

complicated script front-end for GEnie during the time when the switch was
made. During this period I was reading Freesoft's board on GEnie daily. It is
from those memories that I am working so I am fairly sure of myself. But I've
been wrong before.

We don't have PowerBooks, we just have people that want to use ARA. Also, with

I'm trying to run Remote Access through a 9600 bps LAN (not appletalk)
to a 2400 bps modem, and Remote access won't deal.  I can set the LAN so
that everything in the LAN (except the modem, ready for dial input)
should be invisible to Remote Access, but Remote Access still doesn't
like it.  This could be because there's no ability for flow control, or
it could be because the 9600-2400-2400 is one step too many for Remote
Access.  Does anyone out there have any idea what the problem might be?
(Can it be solved by writing a CCL script?  And if so, what would the

Subject: Hermes 2.0 -- where's the support?!
Date: 19 Aug 92 13:21:51 GMT
Organization: The Great Beyond

Hello fellow Mac worshippers..

   Several months ago I received a copy of the Hermes 2.0 BBS software and
installed it on my Macintosh IIfx system.  (I had been running a BBS on an
Apple IIGS but decided to "upgrade.")
   Over a month ago I sent a check for $75 to Frank Price of AOC Software
to register my copy of Hermes.  (Hermes comes with a 30-day trial period;
after 30-days, Price says "strange things will happen," rendering the
software effectively useless.)
   In the documentation that is included with Hermes, Price says that he
will notify users on his support BBS (Olympus; 310-275-6975) when he
receives their personal check, and that it will take 10 days for the check
to clear.
   It's been a month and I haven't heard a word from Price's mouth.
   Which is not to say I haven't tried hearing something; I've called his
support board, located in California, almost daily from my home in
Maryland.  Long distance from one coast to another.  Can't wait to see the
phone bill.
   I have sent mail to Frank Price many times requesting a status report
on my order.  He has yet to reply.
   I am not impressed.

   Earlier, I had asked Price for information on setting up a TelePort
modem with Hermes.  In the Hermes docs, Price himself writes that the
TelePort by Global Village is an excellent modem for adding more than
one remote node.  Yet, Price told me in mail on his support board that
he didn't think the TelePort was compatible; that I should call Global
Village.
   I did, and they were very helpful.  The TelePort does work, but
apparently only when using the Communications Toolbox.  Price blew off
my question by feeding me the line that it wasn't compatible, after he
endorsed it.
   But that was forgiveable.  The current situation is not.

   If anyone knows Frank Price, please tell him I'm waiting for him to
cash my check and send me my registration number.  If anyone has anything
else to say about Hermes or Frank Price, please speak, too.

(And I apologize if I sound bitter; I'm normally a happy-go-lucky kind of
guy, I just get upset when I'm spending $75 + scores of LD calls and not
even getting a reply to my mail..  Who's the customer here?)

I have Wollongong's NFS Client v1.2 (the latest version) and it works very nicely now. I've had it since v1.0, when it acted more like beta test than a commercial product, but the newest version is stable enough that I don't worry about it crashing my system.

I like its ability to mount the NFS file system via an alias. I keep an alias of my workstation's file system on the desktop, and a double click mounts the file system.

It is, however, no speed deamon in throughput. I transfered a file of size 4,959,560 bytes and it took 3 minutes 31 seconds to send it from a IIci to an HP9000/425, for a throughput of 23.5 KBytes/second. Both machines were on the same Ethernet.

access and and a POP server, and you are willing to fight a little with
ResEdit, you can use Eudora's dialup facility with the Communications
Toolbox rather than using MacTCP. Basically, Eudora dials up a machine
using the CTB Modem tool (or any tool, really), and then executes a
small ResEdit configurable script to connect to the POP server of the
machine that gets your mail.

 This here is really interesting. How severe ResEditing does it need ?
 Do I need anything else than Eudora and CTB Modem Tool ?
 Anybody tried this before ? And it works ? C'mon, tell me more !!!!

The enclosures are UUEncoded AppleSingle files. NFS clients such as NFS/Share 
and GatorShare can read them from your UNIX machine after UUDecoding and 
Apple has a program at ftp.apple.com known as Tickle that will convert 
AppleSingle files back to "normal" Macintosh files.

RTFM? :-)

Well seriously, you want to edit your kill file so it has entries like:

/flame/a:j                                           <---(1)

/^From: knguyen@emr1.emr.ca/h:j                      <---(3)

Notes:
(1) will junk any articles with the string "flame" anywhere in the text.
(2) will junk any articles with the string "flame" in the header of the
    article.
(3) will junk any articles from you!
The part between the slash characters is treated as a regular expression to
search for, the "a" or "h" restricts that search to "all text" or "header"
respectively, the colon preceeds the command to act apon that article found.
The "j" says to junk the articles found, and I guess you could use your kill
file to save articles with particular strings to files using a "w filename"
instead of the "j".

My advice is to try to use "trn" instead of "rn" as it gives a better display
of threads and a visual reminder and navigation path between articles. In
short it is a superset of "rn" and is much better for wading through 
hundreds of articles a day.

	The prometheus modems in general are pretty decent -- not like a

Well, there a few ways to handle this.  If you want real peer-to-peer access, 
with any machine getting to any other machine's HD, TOPS might be an answer.  
I'm no fan of it, but it works.  You'll need a card in your PCs (Flashcard I 
think), and phonenet connectors on the Macs.  its slow, but it works.

Another possibility is using a Mac system 7 machine (or several) as 
nondedicated servers.  Use Danya DL/2 boards (localtalk boards) in PS/2's, and 
Farallon PhoneNetTalk software to allow the PS/2's to log into the Macs.  You 
can do the same thing with ethernet at a slightly higher cost.

Or set up a cheap Novell file server.  Recommend dedicated 3.11, but 2.2 is 
cheaper (comes with netware/mac and can run nondedicated).  This is the best 
long-term solution.  Cheapest way is to use one of your 386 PS/2's, put some 
extra RAM in it, and make sure it doesn't get turned off.

Enjoy.
