Help,

	Actually it's not quite that bad, just very annoying.

	OK:  
		
	I'm using JR-Comm on one end, and UN*X SZ (running on a DEC 5000) on
	the other.

	Problem:  Before the first block and about every 8k after I get a bad
		  CRC error.  I know it's not phone trash because we have a very
		  reliable service (ie no errors anywhere else), also zmodem
	  	  worked fine up until a couple of months ago.

		  I've tried every logical combination of parameters (on both
		  ends) that I can think of.  Has anybody else had this problem
		  and fixed it.

		  Escaping Control characters doesn't help either.

		  Incidentally I am running a Hard Drive but the problems 
		  started before I got it.


	Any help to this annoying problem would be appreciated.

I'm posting this message from a friend of mine, so please reply to
this if you can - he really needs to know.

I'd like to have answers in email if possible, although I guess if you're
not happy about that, a posting here would be ok.

Now to the message:

Questions about AmigaNOS
------------------------
I have the AmigaNOS program, version 2.9i.
Is it possible to run it, with a KISS / TNC interface with a receiver?
(I.e. as a 'receive-only' station?)
I also understand that NOS can use SLIP to connect itself to a network
with wired connections. Can it be configured to use a dial-up
connection, so that I can connect to a *nix-network with my modem?
That way I could just call the machine we have at work to do ftp and
other things.
Answers are most welcome. Thanks in advance!

I am in the process of adding a USRobotics 16,000 Dual Standard to my A2000
system, replacing my USR 14,400 Courier. I am interested in learning from you
wizards out there, what modem settings you use as well as what changes you
have made to the JRComm settings to accomodate the new modem. I am obviously
interested in optimizing my transfer rates and want to make sure I have the
optimal settings. So, if you have either a 16,800 or a 16,800 and JRComm, I
would be interested in receiving your set-up and tips, hints, etc.
E-mail would be appreciated.

I like CNet Amiga best, although it is commercial (about $150 US). It
handles up to 23 nodes and is very confortable to both the user and the
sysop. Since a few updates it requires Kickstart 2.0 or higher to run.

  Filenotes are trivial to standardize, we just have to say "Sure,
I'll do it that way".  With WPL it's totally user configurable.
Inbound filenotes are already in heavy use by many different programs
and there is no reason I can think of not to continue to use it.  If
it ain't broke, don't fix it.

(Unlike the current non multi-thread capable and/or address dependant
methods for outbound handling such as UUCP C.#? or fonet #?.FLO files).

  What is the PURPOSE of keeping track of inbound files?  For outbound
files it is obvious that you need to know what files are to go where -
For inbound the information can be gotten in any number of easier and
more efficient methods  (Changing inbound directories, filenotes, etc,
etc).

  You'd have to do a lot of convincing (Or write the code yourself
<grin>) before I'd add 'inbound tracking with XferQ) into WPL as I
don't see the purpose.

>I remember reading somewhere that you were going to end up doing

  I will be doing that in the WPL programmers manual - With XferQ I'm
just a user.

>It's good that a file request shell will exist, then.  It's something
>that could get a lot of use with WPL.  :)

  The file request shell and WPL have nothing to do with each other,
except that a WPL based mailer will be compatable with the request
shell.  There is absolutely no direct communication between this
request shell and WPL (BY DESIGN) so that if any other mailer author
added XferQ support to their mailer this request shell, and all
compatable file request handlers will automatically work.

  The FREQ shell's sources will be released public domain so that any
file request program author can just include code out of it and make
the request shell's use obsolite with their request handler.

Dunno. ;-) But you might like to try the Finnish AXsh - it's *very* nice, IMO. 
I don't know where you can FTP it, but if you have access to FidoNet (or some 
other network using a FidoNet compatible mailer) you can FReq AXsh V1.26 from 
my node as AXSH126.LHA (418641 bytes) or you can download it from the BBS.


  Bliss!

 In Japan, there is a program, called ANS, that enables your Amiga read 
and write Japanese language.  I don't have a copy, so I don't know how it
handles Japanese charcters.  But if I recall correctly, it can handles
EUC code set, and JIS/SJIS files must be converted to EUC files.

 If you buy an Amiga in Japan, you will get a free copy of ANS. 
However, ANS is distributed separately by MIQ Japan.  But I don't know
if you can get one abroad.

It'll keep everyone on their toes, and it's been a while since TD has

TWIN - a shareware program from Montreal. It allows you to connect the 2

put it up on the weekend and it is great.

I'm not sure where to find it on the net, so you'll have to check

Easy.  You're not using routed, so don't run it.  When do you need routed?
Usually only when there are multiple paths to networks and you need the Amiga
to listen to routing updates so it will automatically switch over to a backup
route when a primary path dies.

You probably don't need to run syslogd either.

I'm having some difficulty with a package that writes tektronix graphics
to VLT.  The problem is that when I issue the commands to switch back to the
text screen when terminating the program I lose a character on some
platforms.  What I send is the following:
-------------------
#define CAN  24
#define ESC  27
#define GS   29
#define US   31
#define ETX  3

printf("%c%c", US, CAN);
printf("%c%c", ESC, ETX);
-------------------
When just switching screens (but not terminating the program), I just
send a:

printf("%c%c", ESC, ETX);

When I run this from e.g. my HP workstation, I invariably lose the next
output character, while from a loaded Cray it doesn't happen.  Do I need to
send some padding characters or some such?

Hello...I'm using VLT, and I think it's a wonderful term, but the most
annoying thing I've found about it is that it doesn't save your external
protocol settings when you save the configuration.  It saves WHICH protocol
you want to use but not the parameters to use with it (such as ZMODEM
overwrite mode, buffer size, frame size, and receive path) so I have to
manually reset them every time I start VLT.  Anyone know if my situation is
unusual or have a work-around?   Thanks in advance....
