Make an alias like apple with the address info-apple. After typing the 
message go into the headers section and change the to: to apple or what 
every the alias to info-apple is.

By the way, are you _sure_ that the modem goes up to 57.6Kbaud?
Even though v.32bis is 14400 and there is a theoretical maximum of 4:1
compression, SOME of the modems only advertize as going up to 38400 as a
theoretical maximum.  I'd guess it's a limitation of the modem chipset or
serial port hardware in the modem. [To make the modems hella cheap, they
sometimes have to cut corners]  I'm not saying you should pay (much) more
to get one that'll do 57.6K over one that'll do 38.4K.  Remember, you
almost never get anywhere up that fast..
"
 
On the packaging it directly states that the modem can support rates of up
to 57.6K baud with v.42bis compression.  On a related note, my Supra
v.32bis has a very annoying glitch, namely an annoying hiss that eminates
from the modem whenever I pick up the line (e.g. ATA, ATDT, etc).  Tuning
down or turning up the volume doesn't help any, or resetting the registers.
I'm using it on a Macintosh SE.  Any suggestions as to what may be wrong or
other Supra owners who have the same problem?

Questions which come to mind:
- can you translate other fonts to 200 points?
- can you translate Davy's Dings to, say, 100 points?
- are the chars messed up in every program you use?  (i.e. both Teach and
  AWGS or BeagleDraw or whatever)
- how much memory is free?  (New York 200 required about 400K on disk)

I've heard that some of the more creative fonts have problems.  If you
can find a font which is always messed up, let WestCode know about it.

Here's what I did when I had an unsupported clock card, whose patch would not
work with versions newer than 1.1.1, and the company went out of business:
I took an assembly listing from the disk supplied with the card and converted
it to source code, and added code to turn it into a system program which ran
when I booted ProDOS, installing my homemade clock driver, then running another
SYS program, like the way lots of the Prosel utilities work. Done this way, the
patch is completely version-independent. If I were going to do my own program-
ming, that's what I would do.
I'm speaking about it in the past tense because that card now occupies shelf
space; I replaced it with a Thunderclock compatible card which requires no
fuss other than the every six years date fix.

I'm not really certain, now...I did read why, but I've forgotten (not 
relevant to me, 'cause I've got ROM 2.01d B-). The upgrade to 2.01c is free 
to 2.00 owners, but I don't know if you can get it. In any event, the 3.00a 
ROM has quite a few really cool new features; worth the money IMO.

Evan Molnar, the guy that wrote Fruity Dog for GBBS and DDBBS was getting the

what the guy was using. Currently there is only some messy dos machine BBS

the guy at 1:114/15 in Pheonix. Hew runs the default UFGate (UUCP-Fido) for 
e-mail/netmail transfers. He can fill you in. It can be, and has been done. 
The reason Evan dropped the feed he had was the guy kept dropping dupes in 
here.

Someone here in 275 has the UFGATE software. I had them get it for the fight
with the phone company, so we could port some applicable newsgroups, though
the fight was over before we set it up.

I have some compactor files on the hard drive that I wanted to move over
to a Mac without having to transfer them at 2400 baud (I have about 2 Megs
worth of files).

I created a HFS 800K disk on my GS and copied some of the files on, then
took the disk to the mac, copied them over, and changed the file types.
No Dice.  Compactor does not recognize the files.

How can I accomplish this?

Use Archiver that is on System 6 tools 1 disk.  It is much better than Backup
II and even prosel's backup program.

Archiver will backup to 5.25's, 3.5's, and even DC2000 tapes with a 3M MDC 40
tape drive.  32 megs to a single tape takes about 30 minutes, with no disk

For one, SCSI.Part has been around far longer than the RAMFast card, so I
would say that CV Technologies almost certainly stole the idea from the
author of SCSI.Manager.

From the things I have heard from CV people, I don't think I have any
interest in buying a product from them.  Besides, my HS-SCSI serves me
quite well and is compatible with everything, something I can't say for
the RAMFasts which seem to have numerous problems with the current OS.

I don't know about the phone number, but I have some info about their v.32bis
S/R FAX modem...

I called up and ordered one. For my credit card, I gave them my dorm address
rather than my real billing address, because they only ship to the billing
address, but they actually check the billing address ARGH! abd they called
me back up so I canceled my order. Anyway...

Right now, there's a three week wait for the modems, no matter who you muy
them from. Supra's price of $399 is a lot compared to the other places selling
them. After I canceld the order, I went looking for other places, and I look
in MacWorld's May '92 MacConnection advertisement. There I saw "Zoom V.32bis
S/R FAX -- $299." It isn't going to get here until the beginning of May, but
that's not any worse than a three week delay. Also, (I have a Mac -- sorry)
the Zoom comes with a cable and software, whereas the Supra doesn't -- you
need to pay $479 to get the cable and software from Supra. Also, Zoom started
on the II, and I have a Zoom already, so I figured I'd get one of theirs --
besides, it was $100 cheaper, and MacConnection is a joy to deal with. IF
hardware handshaking cables are the same between IIgs/Mac then all you need
to do is throw away the software...

Could it be, yet again, that there exists a conspiracy vacuum and nature is
rushing to fill it again?

1)  The StyleWriter costs $399 ($599 at the time) and has 360-dpi
    resolution.  It is hard to program for.
    
2)  The Personal LaserWriter LS costs $1300 and has 300-dpi resolution.
    It is even harder to program for; not only do you have to position
    all the bits yourself, but you have to blink the status lights,
    start the laser beam, feed the paper and basically do everything
    you assume a "laser printer" does.

Given you only had time or resources to develop a driver for _one_ of
these printers, which one would a) be done quicker and b) be for a
printer a IIgs owner has a reasonable chance of buying?
