   I wouldn't worry about `ToolManager'. It sits happily in the background
and waits until any actions are to be taken. `JobManager' on the other hand
wedges into the kernel routines. `JobManager' is potentially more dangerous
than `ToolManager'.

Is there something I need to do with the DNETHOST environment variable,

 Excuse me for asking...what system are you on and what version of Kermit...
The kemit I use on the mainframe's allow me to first use the command "kermit"
then when in kermit I change to the directory where the files are, set up the
packet size, file type (binary or text), Block-Check (in the latest version)
and then put the mainframe in Server mode by giving kermit the command "server".

When in VLT I set up VLT to be in the mode for the mainframe being in server
and use XPRKermit to set the file size to 1000, the Block-Check to the same
as what I set on the mainframe, the file type to the same and then issue a
receive (which works the same as a get when using FTP).  Also you can set
the default directory in VLT under the menu bar VLT "Change directory" or by 
using "right Amiga - D".

I am wondering if anyone has heard of a FasTalk 1200 modem.
It was made by Universal data systems and also Motorola has their name on

It was made in the US and acording to the dat code, sometime in 1987.
Please please if you know anything about this can you Please Email me.

Just kermit as far as I know.  No idea there was a difference. Unix kermit.

I have a (not very good) solution : I use VLT and I connect to an Unix system.
To get binary files (typically .lzh files) from there, I uuencode them, I
select the "Capture session" option on VLT, and I send the uuencoded file.
After that I select "End capture", I go to CLI/Shell and I uudecode the
received file.

Example :
I select "Capture Session", generally I capture in the file "RAM:received" .
Then I type at the Unix prompt : "uuencode snoopdos.lzh snoopdos.lzh" .
Then I wait for the end of the file (I get a flow of ASCII caracters).
Then I select "End Capture".
Then I go to a Shell, type "uudecode received", and have my file snoopdos.lzh .

I am forced to do that because my modem only support 7 bits, so by uuencoding
a binary file I just send printable ASCII. The drawback of this method is that
it takes one third time more to transmit the file, because uuencode takes 3
binary bytes and produces 4 printable ASCII bytes.

For a Vax system, I don't know if there is a uuencode (or equivalent) function,
but you can have the sources (in C) for uuencode/uudecode or write your own.
For example you can imagine a coding system with a better ratio than 3 -> 4
caracters, considering that the printable caracters are in the range 32..126
(from "SPACE" to "~").

I hope this can help.
Olivier.

Try renaming niftyterm to fterm, or as I have done, write a little script called
fterm that calls niftyterm. You have no need to use fterm anymore, so you just
replace it totally.

BTW I have the dnet 2.20 distribution, but I'm not sure that it contained the
compiled binaries, and I keep getting gurus while compiling :( so where can I
obtain the 2.20 binaries??

Well, according to the people I talk to, a large majority of the original

Use LhA 1.38 from amiga.physik.unizh.ch (/amiga/arc/LhA_e138.run) or
lysator.liu.se (/pub/amiga/LhA/LhA_e138.run)

LhA_e138.run is a self-extracting archive, just run it to extract

The reason is that dnet really needs about 6 seconds to handshake with
the UNIX box on the other end before it will can start up any clients
(like FTERM or niftyterm).  There is a hack in DNET where when it starts
up a client with the -s option (say -snifty), it really executes "wait
5\nnifty"  The problem is that, while FTERM opens its window and does
all of its setup before it tries to connect, niftyterm tries to connect
first.  So DNET isn't ready by the time niftyterm gets started up. 
Since it takes longer for FTERM to start up (opening windows and
such...), it doesn't have this problem.

The easiest solution to this is just to start up a niftyterm by hand.

Then you shouldn't release it as Public Domain. You should release it as

Releasing something as Public Domain and expecting no one to use it is like

I just acquired VLT 5.576.  When I ran it and switched from the custom
screen to the Workbench screen, it opened a window as large as my
Workbench screen, which is 1324 by 868.  I resized the window, but
then it seemed to scale the font, and it left large margins in the
window.  I tried choosing topaz 8, but that didn't work.

Is VLT capable of using a window on the Workbench screen with a normal
font, so that the text looks the same as it does in a shell window?
If not, I'll delete it now.  If so, please tell me how so I can use it
while I'm waiting for the manual to arrive in the mail.

Thanks much,
AMC

What about the Reflection Series emulators (for the PC)? They claim
compatibility with the low end up to the VT240/340 series (REGIS/SIXEL 
graphic crts).
