The NS lines in the Hosts file are appended to the end of the list
formed from the ones specified in the cdev. Given the problems with
Hosts files that I have had in the past, specifying servers in the cdev
is my method of choice.

   I generally have good luck with MacX, but there are two problems,
on a Mac IIsi running System 7.0.1 (virutual memory on, 32 bit mode,
5mb ram):

   After switching to MacX from a big-memory program such as Canvas,
the mouse will often freeze, and I will have to reboot.  This is the
only time it crashes, when switching into it from another program.

   If I try to speed up this machine by running in black and white,
the MacX window updating actually slows down.  In 16 bit color mode,
it is even slower.  In 256 bit color mode, it is quite fast.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks for the tip!  I ordered one from MacWarehouse tonight and it should
be here tomorrow.  I made the woman on the phone swear that they really
had them in stock.  So if anyone else wants one of these modems, quick call
MacWarehouse.  MacConnection and MacZone seems to be very backordered.

I have one too, but I'm not quite ready to yell great.

This thing has some problems.  When I let it negotiate with an MNP-5 modem 
on the other end, then try using Zmodem to upload, things just don't work.
The transfers are cancelled by the receiver.  If I disable the negotiation
(ie.e no compression or error correction) then things work.  

This wouldn't be any big deal except that I've yet to get the tech support
people on the phone to talk about it.  You'd think with all the jacking
around they did on the ship date (come on MacWarehouse, advertising for
4 months without any in stock?) that it'd be ready when it hit the streets.
I'm thinking I shoulda held out for the Supra...I used to have a Supra.

This question may fall in the catagory of FAQ - if so I apologize. Anyway, we

from showing up? Also can you make your zone "invisible" to other zones on

Yes, please let us know what versions you're using. MPIIv3.0 and MPIIv4.0
both should work just fine. However, both versions will experience
a noticable slow down in performance if you have a large amount of
text in the scrollback buffer. That should be the only thing one notices
in MicroPhone II under VM.

	Hello everyone,

	Has anyone NFS mounted a volume on an AppleShare server and then
published it so that others with AppleShare can access it?  Catch my drift?
In this way other users with AppleShare can access the NFS drive via the
AppleShare server, and if everything is Ethernet-ed the speed might be
acceptable.

	On a similar note, has anyone used file sharing with System 7 to
publish an NFS mounted volume?

I am trying to find a cheap way to fax my documents (resumes, reports)

How does this thing work? ( say I had a resume and I wanted to send to

    I recently purchased both a PB100 and a TelePort/Fax (i.e. send fax) modem.
I did check with Global Village beforehand and they assured me that it would
work but in getting it home (1000s of miles later to Israel) I couldn't get it
to work with the PB100 - since there is only one serial port I thought the
TelePort would be ideal, leaving the port free for connecting to an AppleTalk
network.  Am I doing something wrong or doesn't the TelePort support the PB100?
Is Global Village doing anything about it??  I'm running version 1.06
    Thanks,

	You can either raise your price to $400 to $500 and pick up a Zyxel or 
Supra V.32bis modem for 14,400 speed plus various error correction and 
compression protocols, or drop it to under $100 and buy a solid 2400 baud 
modem, possibly with send fax or MNP data compression or error correction. 2400 
is where the market's at today but 9600 and 14,400 and higher are coming on 
strong. For under $200 you could get a 2400 data/9600 baud FAX modem, possibly 
with data compression or error correction. There's not much in the $200-$300 
range these days.
	As for software, pretty much all modems come with something which 
you'll generally throw away in favor of Zterm right after your first download. 
(Zterm is shareware available from almost everywhere.)

Peter DiCamillo, of Brown tn3270 fame, has written an lpr client for
the Mac: lpr v1.2.  This MacTCP-based application allows a Mac to
send a print file directly to any UNIX lpd daemon for printing to an
attached UNIX printer.

If the LaserJet IIIsi's TCP/IP Ethernet interface emulates an lpd server,
then "lpr v1.2" will do the trick.

PS. Generating PostScript on a Mac for use with non-Mac printers can
sometimes be frustrating.  I used Sys 7.0.1 with Tune-Up v1.1.1, and
hence LaserWriter v7.1.1 to generate PostScript for a LaserJet IIIsi, 
which was serially attached to an HPUX 7.05 lpd spooler.  It worked
fine.

I tried the same PostScript file to an Imagen, serially attached to a
Sparc SunOS 4.01 lpd spooler.  Nothing.  I then used the cdev,
"PostScript Trimmer 1.0.1" to remove any TrueType fonts from PostScript
generated on my Mac and tried again. Success.  Except that some of the
graphics were not
processed properly.  If this were a commercial, it would say "stick with
Adobe PostScript-equipped printers for maximum capability with Mac
PostScript."  Imagen uses a PostScript clone interpreter.

X-News-Reader: VMS NEWS 1.11


We have performance problems. If we have a lot of IP traffic on the ethernet,
our MACs get big troubles, sometimes you have to wait some minutes for a
network access (close a 5 k MS-Word doc, or change a Record in FileMaker) to
complete.

We have the following configuration:
40 MACs, all conected over 4 Fastpath 4 to the Ethernet
   They speak Appletalk, DECnet and IP
   connected over Localtalk to the Fastpaths
3  Vaxes as Servers with Pathowrks
   They speak Ethertalk II, DECnet and IP
   connected to ethernet
10 Suns
   They only speek IP
   connected to ethernet
4  FasthPaths 4
   They route DECnet, ATalk Phase 2, K-Star IP, _NO_ more Appletalk Phase 1
   PROM Version 4.1, SW: K-STAR Version 8.0
   connected to ethernet

The problems arise if we have a lot (some 100 pakets per second) of IP traffic
between two SUNs. I guess that the Fastpath looks at every IP packet to see it
is not for me, but it then becomes too busy to do anything else (routing of
Appletalk for example).

To avoid this, I plan to seperate the Fasthpaths and the VAXes from the SUNS
with a Bridge, so that the Fastpaths no longer see the IP traffic between SUNs.

Now my questions: Had anybody similar problems and solutions?
                  Have I forgoten something important, may I hav misconifugred
                  the Fastpaths? (we need IP and DECnet on them!)
                  Are there other solutions?

Thanks in advance

To continue this thread, let me chip in with a few TheNews experiences. It 
has routinely caused heavy crashes on a IIcx running Sys7.0 (before and 
after tuneup 1.1), the most common being a 'Bus Error' which always scares 
the crap out of me. One of the crashes had the Mac doing this weird dance 
where it was trying to reboot, but all it would do was blank the menus and 
the disk icons out, do a lot of disk activity, show the menus and icons 
again, blank them again....till I took the plunge and hit the reset 
switch. Note that there are no fancy INITs on this machine and its very 
stable otherwise. The NNTP server runs UNIX. I like the program though and 
would love to be able to use it without getting paranoid about a crashed 
HD. This post is being sent from my trusty NetNews Reader Hypercard stack
