   Umm, sorry, no samples handy... but, if you're using SCO, you can identify 
speeds with a letter identifier as well as a number value, and you can make 
different Devices entries for the two (even if they point to the same port), 
with different dialers even.  I don't know if this is common with other *ix 
systems.

   Sorry, but you've had PEP2 for ages.  The original PEP, as shipped in such 
modems as the DCA Fastlink, was 11 kbit in stead of 18 (essentially the same 
as the T1000).  Since V2 (preceding even the TB+), when you said PEP you meant 
PEP2.  TurboPEP might be referred to as PEP3.

BTW, LEP sticker actually says "LEP Profit International" and "If this
shipment is delayed, refused, or unclaimed call 800-241-6690."

The sticker also claims that It was shipped from "SFO" on July 14th,
and was sent to "YYZ" as part of 161 pieces.  We received ours July 22nd.

We do.  I think the key is to set S92=1 and follow the suggestion in
the manual with regard to setting S7=60.  Also, if a site wants a PEP
connect they should set S50=255 before dialing.

Hi,

This is slightly off topic.. anyways I am trying to get NCSA Telnet 2.3 to
work connecting to a Consensys SVR4 UNIX box over Coax. Everything works fine
except that I can't connect to the UNIX box and our Novell server at the same
time using the same card. I have to actually cold start the computer - warm
boot isn't enough - to switch between one server and another. 

This is supposed to be possible but I don't find any references to this in the
documentation. Does anyone have any clues?  

Thanks.

off the top of my head, look to see that all systems on the ethernet are using
the same ethernet frame type.

most unix use Ethernet II, novell defaults to 802.3

they are not really compatible.

This is in general no problem with a Digicom Scout+ modem. It connects well
to Telebit modems. In particular with T3000, Worldblazers and T2500 I would
expect few problems.

   Umm, the problem is that the Ethernet driver doesn't by default talk to two 
protocol stacks.  I wish I was at work and near my Novell manuals to provide 
useful help... give me a call at 771-9377 Wednesday (I'm in Winnipeg Monday 
and maybe Tuesday; you can try me Tuesday if you like) and I'll look it up.

Is anyone out there successfully logging their v32bis
system into a Worldblazer feed site?

On the advice of many I have increased the S7, S9 & S10 registers,
but uucico still fails to get a CONNECT.

From looking at my logs, both sites successfully call me.  I can
succeed logging in to my main feed the majority of the time but
have yet to successfuly log in to my mail feed.

If anyone out there has a successful init string for this, I'd
appreciate it.

Well, I got my call from LEP yesterday (Monday), and asked for them to
deliver the modem today (Tuesday).  The woman there actually almost
insisted that I specify a time range, so I told her between 9am and noon.

Well, 11am rolls around, and a courier actually shows up!  Exchange of
parcels, signing of forms, no muss, no fuss, and I'm now the proud
owner of a WorldBlazer.

I was told to hand back everything associated with the T3000: cables,
manuals, and all.  And sure enough, the WorldBlazer I got was a
complete package including manuals (T3000 manuals with WorldBlazer
addendum), power supply and phone cord.

It even worked first time!  [ I'm currently using it to post this ].

Well, that's at least one anti-horror story.

Here we have another one of those wonderful statistics -- Canada has
the most dangerous roads in the world.  No explanation of how the
comparison is done or anything -- is this most dangerous per linear
kilometre, per capita, or per person-kilometre travelled?   Also,
no reasons why -- Canada also has some of the nastiest winters
of any country around, has this been factored in?  Not to speak
of what our frequent freeze/thaw weather does to the surface of
the roads themselves.

Gee... well then maybe they should *TELL* us. I've been riding since a child,
never once was I informed by my parents, my school, or the police that I had

There are bad motorists, there are bad bicyclists, there are a great deal of
bad pedestrians (I nearly ran one over, all those people jay-walking at Yonge
and Eglinton). And all those bad "whatevers" give all the good ones a bad
image. Nothing bothers me more than to see a bicyclist go through a red light,
as if they are above the law.

Wilderness travel is one area where experience and good judgement is

If you consider the relative risk of not wearing a helmet to be high under

If I was involved in genuine high risk sports such as solo rock climbing,
mountaineering, kayaking class V-VI whitewater, etc. I'd be willing to
pay extra for medical coverage.  My lifestyle isn't as risky as you seem to
believe it to be.

Evan has a point.  Better education and testing of cyclists would be
useful.  Stricter enforcement of the HTA on cyclists and motorists
would be wonderful.

Now - the same is equally true for pedestrians.  It seems a little
impractical to require a pedestrians license from those who wish to
walk in or across streets and bike paths; however, sensible laws
and strict enforcement would be a wonderful idea.

Quite seriously, I have jaywalked (very, very carefully) across the
401 near Yorkdale, in Toronto.  (I admit that this was not a clever
situation to get myself into.)

To get a ticket, as a pedestrian, I would probably need to jump up
and down in the middle of Bloor-Yonge intersection for half an hour.
Even then, I would probably be run over long before any police
bothered to give me a ticket.

If we had strict enforcement of all the other road laws, we would
need no special laws for drunk drivers.

          Apartments in Houses

          A Consultation Paper on Legislative Amendments to Allow
          One Apartment in a House

Draft 11: June 9, 1992

This document contains draft legislation and regulations which
have been prepared for consultation purposes only.  They, and any
explanatory materials in this package, do not contain any legal
opinion or interpretation of any statute, and do not necessarily
reflect the final intent of the Government of Ontario with
respect to amendments of any statute.

This consultation package outlines proposed legislation which
is intended to: increase the supply of apartments in houses;
improve the powers of entry available to municipal officials;
clarify that unrelated people may share a home as a household;
and encourage the installation of garden suites (sometimes
known as "granny flats").

               Ministry of Municipal Affairs
               Ministry of Housing

A MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTERS OF MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS AND HOUSING


Our government wants to increase the amount of affordable housing
in Ontario communities.  We also want people to have choice in
the type and location of the housing they live in and the kind of
living arrangements that suit them.

Right now there are many barriers to having the kind of
affordable housing people want and need.  We are tackling these
barriers in many ways.  One way is to change the law.

We plan to change the laws in Ontario to let homeowners have an
apartment in their house, to facilitate the creation of garden
suites and to make it clear that unrelated people may share
living accommodation if they form a household.  The new laws will
also help municipalities ensure that health and safety standards
can be enforced by giving municipal officials better powers of
entry.

To make sure the changes in the law will work well, we are
providing you with a draft of the proposed amendments to the
Planning Act and the Municipal Act.  We welcome suggestions for
improvements.

As well, possible regulations for municipal zoning and property
standards for apartments in houses are outlined.  We want your
views on the approaches proposed for the regulations.

Thank you for taking time to read this paper.  We look forward to
receiving suggestions that will improve our proposed legislation
and regulations.

Dave Cooke                         Evelyn Gigantes

 Note: all comment replies will be collected and sent back to the
 Ministry of Housing for consideration of their Draft Legislation to
 legalize House Apartments.
