Possibly. On the other hand, PPP isn't in many versions of AmigaNOS, and
SLIP is simpler to set up - just set the speed, instead of lots and lots
of parameters, with very very few clues in the documentation (if you can
find any). And SLIP usually works OK, so the choice of protocol isn't
normally a major issue, assuming a reasonable link (Error correcting Modems,
or similar).

   Inbound?  XferQ is an outbound queue and list manager.  While someone
could add lists of files as they come inbound, proper filenotes and 
multiple-inbound directories makes more sence than using a shared
library for inbound files.

   If you're talking about XferQ, I'm just a USER and a Beta Tester,
 not the author.  aa457@freenet.carleton.ca, dej@qpoint.ocunix.on.ca
 (David Jones) is the author, and should be contacted directly for

 just want to write supporting utilities to get some examples out the

   I just today sent wpl_intr_Jan11.lzh to amiga.physik so that
 interested parties can take a look at what we are trying to do.  This
 is the Jan11 version of the 'WPL_Intro.lzh' file that is available

Subject: Term 2.4 and xemvt340.library
Organization: Rochester Institute of Technology
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1993 21:57:38 GMT

Hello,
  Cueently, I'm having some problems using Term 2.4 with the xemvt340
vt340 emulator.  I don't know if it's the emulator, or Term, but it
seems to crash an exhorbanant amount of the time.  I just discovered
that I could get it to reliably crash the system by using the more
command dialed up to a Ultrix machine.  In my opinion, that is unusable.

Have other people noticed this behavior?  Is there a cure?  I've taken
to leaving Term out on my workbench, so I can quickly double-click on it
after the system reboots.  (This cures the problem by switching me to
ANSI/vt100 emulation, but it's still an inferior solution.)

Also, the documentation for the xemvt340 library claims that F-keys 6-20
are F6-F20 on all Amigas.  I would be very pleased if someone could tell
me where F11-F20 is on my Amiga 2000 keyboard.  I need those keys for
WordPerfect.

  For the most part, I like Term.  If it didn't crash as often, and if I
could use WordPerfect, it would replace Ncomm (which I use because of
the transfer options), and Handshake (which I use for VT220 emulation).

  Thank you for your support.

VLT and Term, to my knowledge.  These require that you have a copy of
XPR-Kermit, though, which you can get from just about any Amiga FTP site.

As stated in the originline below, I have written a .QWK reader. AmiQWK is
currently in version 1.22 (filename AQ_122.LHA), and runs under 1.3 and
2.0+ (I haven't had a chance to try it under 3.0 yet) In it's current
version it is fairly stable, (despite several enforcer hits) but it
dosen't have very many features, and it only opens in NTSC screen modes.

I am currently in the process of re-writing AmiQWK (the new version will
only have 1 function lifted intact from the previous version) which will
operate in NTSC and PAL screen modes (possibly using the display database
so that it can operate in (almost) any screen mode) as well as being more
full featured. I hope to have it ready for release soon. AmiQWK II will
require 2.04 or better, and I have no plans to continue working on AmiQWK
1.xx.

Finaly, I am looking for beta testers in NORTH AMERICA (Preferably U.S.,
but I will accept applications from Canada, Mexico, etc.). If you can call
one of my support BBSes (Smithcom BBS, Marion, IL, (618) 997-8009, Pooh's
Corner BBS, Carterville, IL. (618) 985-4747) on a regular basis, EMail me
for a beta tester application.

Hi,

docs available out there I would like to know where I can get them.

	On a side note.  I can get either SLIP or a PPP connection.  What are
the differences?  Is SLIP ALWAYS compressed or is that an option and does that
option make it faster.

   It's your loss, not his.  We are all eager to see it released, but
whining about how you need it right now will not make him work any
faster.

   I was quite eager for X-Comm's initial release, but was rather
disappointed that the program was far from bullet-proof.  It has
potential, but it should have gone through a few more weeks of
debugging, IMHO.  Perhaps the programmers were rushed into releasing
it prematurely.

First, I have a question pertaining to other fellow Skyline sysops out
there, if any of you still run it.  Has the author (Michael Cox) abandoned
his support BBS and the software?  I pre-ordered the Skyline 2.x software
update this summer.  I received and installed it on august 1st.  During the
time period from receiving up until late october, I was unable to ever get a
response of any sort from the author's support BBS.  I haven't tried dialing
it up since.  I have been with this software since it was first released
as Atredes 1.0.

Second, if in fact this software is no longer being supported by it's
developer, I would like to hear any comments from other former Skyline
sysops today who have switched to some other BBS software.  How do you like
it compared to what you were used to, etc.  I am especially curious about
DLGPro, BBX, and Excelsior which I've already read some comments on.  I
would like to express that I am not interested in CNet, unless the
user-interface has changed dramatically from years ago.

Thanks for helpful feedback!  My former users would like to see me put my
system back up again, but I will only do so if the software is reliable and
well supported.
