Hi, I've been using Appleshare and Sys70 filesharing and I have 
never had any problems nor detected any diferences in the way they work.

My only comments are the speed and the administration. If you plan to work
while serving archives, be prepared to have a *VERY* slow response from your
machine while another user is accesing your files.
 The administration facts are not as obvious as the speed
but Appleshare comes with a user management sligtly more
wide, and somehow more private. Using System 7, anyone that gets to your machinewhile it's working unattended could create himself as a full privileged user.
In Appleshare he would have to know your administrator's pass to do so.
If using Sys7 as server, I have noted some multiuser apps, can't deal well with shared data when running in the machine that serves, sharing data in it.
Excepting that edge-condition, I use Sys70 to serve a lot of computers, and havea lot of computers serving at time and they all work.

I hope this can help you decide.

Subject: Re: Mac BBS software.... what options are there ?

Bernard,

I don't know where you are getting your facts from.  I run MAGIC in
Toronto, which was the first user group & public BBS to purchase
FirstClass.  We also have a full internet feed, and we're using
PostalUnion Lite to process that feed.

I have read a few messages from you regarding FirstClass*, and PostalUnion.  After running a 10 line FirstClass* system for over a year now, I can give you a very different perspective of both
of these products.  Like BMUG, I used to run a TBBS system too!

FirstClass*

SoftArc has been very supportive of MAGIC, and their quality of technical support has been top notch.  They have the best Macintosh GUI BBS available today,
and I doubt that anyone will try and argue otherwise.  Granted, there
are some limitations with the product, but the number of limitations has
always decreased with every new release of their software.   This is the
result of an endless pursuit to satisfy their customer's needs.

PostalUnion Lite

Initially I had lots of problems getting our feed working.  The problem wasn't with PU-L though  our feed was using old (did I say OLD?!) uucp code,
and that was causing the problem.  Thomas (author of PU-L) called me
every day to work on solving the problem.  A few days later he had a fix
for the problem, and we were up and running.  The level of support that
I have received from Information Electronics has been incredible.  I
stand behind them, and their product.

MAGIC currently has 52 netnews conferences running.  I don't see why you
need to keep your feed limited to 20 conferences.  We also have 4,000
active accounds online, and our lines are busy 98% of the day.  We have
direct AppleTalk connections as well, and it isn't odd to see 14 or 15
people online at once  this number of online users has resulted in a
rather vast file library.

Why do you complain so much about this stuff??!!?  I've been running
this system for over a year now, and I've loved every moment of it.

You paid $10,000.00 for this??!  Hmmmm - thats $12,300.00 Canadian...
Maury & SoftArc owe me one major dinner!

I've tried this, but after FAXstf tries to get back the port and can't
because the modem is still on line, there is no way of toggling the 
software on/off settings because it is ghosted out.

I am guessing that FAXstf doesn't properly handle the case where it can't
send it's initialization string to the modem even though the port has
been freed. I think it should issue a warning and allow the user to turn
it back on manually at a later time.

Hi.  Does anyone know of a network adev to support dialup

We'd like to do this for a number of reasons, including 
less CPU consumption at the central dialin by not having
to run V.42 and V.42bis in software on the host, but
letting the modems handle that sort of thing.

Something that interacts with the user like ARA does

It's on the NewsWatcher "wish list". This means that although it won't be
in the "1.3 final" version we're working on now, we consider it worthy of
consideration for some future version. Is that vague enough?

Seriously, I do hope to investigate MIME someday. But as far as NewsWatcher
is concerned, we need a good solid basic plain newsreader first, and
there's tons of work left just to achieve that goal.

Hello world, 
[i've tried posting this to c.s.novell, but didn't receive
any answers... so i'm trying here.]

We've just upgraded from NetWare 2.15c to 3.11, (+NW4Mac 3.01)and 
have encountered a few problems with ATPS.. which are:

2 local HP LaserJet III, w/AT interface are hooked up to our net
by Dayna's EtherPrints(1.6). The 2 printers are clearly visible from the
Macs (running 7.0.1, TU 1.1.1) through the Chooser (7.1). BUT they
remain completely invisible to ATCON.... (Novell's AppleTalk Console)

I wanted to enable to PC users to print on them, so i created 2 queues
with PCONSOLE, which worked, but when ATPS loads, it just cannot find
them 2 printers.. ATPS generates:

	Can't find <LaboImage DAE@LaserWriter:*>, retrying ...
	
Now I've tried specifying, the queues in all different manners, w/o success..

The ATPS.CFG looks like:

	"LaboImage DAE:Acacias" -o LABOIMAGE:NOVELL -Wf

I tried specifying the queues in all possible manners w/o success.
	
The EtherPrint manual seemed to indicate that a router problem might be
the cause, but what bothers me is that ATCON sees all the Mac (WorkStations)
but not these damn printers .. EtherPrints ROMs are v1.6. Version 1.5 bugged
in the sense that it didn't announce itself to NPB lookups, but no 
bugs are reported with v1.6 (or am I wrong ?) I think current version is 1.7
(would it help to upgrade ?)

Now, EtherPrint is compatible with HP  LJ III (the macs can actually print on
them directly!!), EtherPrint claims to be NetWare compatible too, so remains
the HPs - but NW for Mac mentions the LaserWriter-compatible printers are okay,
so what else ? 

Has anybody experienced similar problems ? Hints, ideas, comments welcome..

Regards from rainy Geneva :-(

We gate our Appltalk net to the Ethernet via a Gatorbox. We also have
many Macs running Ethertalk and hooked directly to the Ethernet. We have
a QMS 2000 that takes input from both Ethernet and Appletalk, the QMS
2000 arbitrates its own queues and presents no problems - plug and play.

The Gatorbox is set up as a Unix Remote Print system and accepts unix
print files. If they are ASCII the Gatorbox converts to Postscript and
sends to the target printer. If the file is already in postscript format,
the Gatorbox just passes it on.

This set up allows ALL mac users and ALL Unix users to access ALL
printers. No special drivers are required and the entire system works.

Incredible. Hope this helps..

	This may be a FAQ but... I have just been getting my new PB100 up
to speed and noticed that Apple Remote Access does not seem to operate with
an external modem.  The reason is that ARA requires appletalk to be active
and with only one external port, the printer port, appletalk must be
inactive to operate an external modem.  Thus, I'm curious whether my
initial impression is correct that a PB100 requires an internal modem to
run ARA..??

Yes, UIUC's license covers the MacTCP upgrade. However, UIUC is no longer
developing Eudora; Qualcomm is, and Qualcomm has no such license. Thus,
we're in a bit of a muddle so far as legalities go.

Qualcomm has no plans to buy a license to distribute MacTCP with Eudora. 
It's unclear to me whether or not UIUC's license permits them to distribute
MacTCP with Eudora, because Eudora is no longer really UIUC's product. 
However, UIUC does retain the rights, so it could be said to be UIUC's
product after all.  (The whole Qualcomm/UIUC/Eudora arrangement is very
strange, which is really a credit to both organizations; they're bending
over backward to ensure that Eudora development continues. Bureaucratic
organizations would never tolerate this level of confusion.)

I have two suggestions:

1. Buy a license.  A MacTCP internal use license is about the price of a
MacClassic (Universities) or an LC (Corporate), and it's good "forever". 
Surely not too high a price to pay, especially since it also sends a
message to the bean counters at Apple.

2. UIUC still has a license, they just don't have the product it was
licensed for.  However, there is another popular product that comes from
UIUC (though you wouldn't know it from the acronymns), and I have heard the
words "amending the agreement" spoken in a very definite way.

Hello all.

I am looking for a 'new' terminal program to use on
the various Macs in the office.  The requirements are
as folows:

1) Digital Equipment Corp VT102 (or vt220 or vt320, etc) terminal
   emulation available.

2) File transfer capability via XModem, ZModem, Kermit, or some
   other popular protocol.

3) [Probably most important] The ability to capture incoming text
   directly to the chosen printer with little or no operator interventrion.
   An additional plus would be the ability to respond to 'Printer on'
   and 'Printer off' escape sequences from the host.

At the present time, we are use Red Ryder [I'don't remember the version,
but its old].  This handles the terminal emulation and file transfer
very well, but falls down completely on the printing.  When it does choose
to print the incoming data, it takes forever [and we're using a LaserWriter].

Any suggestions?  All appreciated.  I will summarize all suggestions mailed
to me as well as the solution chosen.

However ... this same MacTCP hears quite well.  You ping it, it
answers.  The problem just seems to be when the driver opens
MacTCP.

We are certain we are using a good copy, and there are many,
many MacTCP stations in our network.  This is a new one on us.

Ideas, anyone?
