Not only can Eudora work over serial lines, but SFU has added support in
Eudora for dial up scripts. Since you are calling from an SFU machine, you
should be able to use Eudora as set up for SFU. You can use anonymous FTP
to get a copy of Eudora and the scripts from ftpserver.sfu.ca in the
directory pub/mac/eudora/beta. There are a couple of scripts in
pub/mac/eudora/beta/scripts along with a README file to tell you how to
install them. If you need any more help, you can e-mail me.

System 6.x does not include software to be a network server though it does
include system software to be a client.  

There is an add-on called "DataClub" that can be used to give both 6.x and
7.0 network server capabilities.  All Macs with Dataclub installed become
one virtual server - i.e., the disk space for all Macs on the network is
"added" together to make one big virtual server that any Mac on the network
can log into and all Macs share network tasks.

Thats the good news: the bad news is that DataClub was bought out by Novell
(big corporate PC based network file/print/DBMS servers).  I do not know if
Dataclub is still available.  I haven't seen it advertised for awhile.  I
can't find the disks/documentation to give you a phone number.  I receive
the software as a freebie promotional things when they went to version 2.0.
 

I'll keep looking.

Subject: Problems with ARA setup for Intel 14.4EX modem
Organization: Boeing Computer Services R&T
Date: Wed, 23 Dec 1992 23:10:30 GMT


I have been using the ARA setup for the Intel 14.4EX modem that was put
up on sumex about October 5 to use ARA between two Intel modems.  The
setup seems to work fine to do the connection.  And seems to work fine
while connected.  The problem that I have is when I try to disconnect.
The modem lights go out after a few seconds, but the Remote Access Setup
dialog box never really returns, and ARA is locked up until I reboot.
This is what happens on my machine at home.  The connection with my machine
at work is now messed up, and I can no longer connect.  Upon returning
to work, I find that the connection on that end has not disconnected.  ARA
still thinks that it is running, and I cannot get the modems or ARA to work
right until I reboot the machine.

Has anyone else had this problem??  I tried calling Intel, but they told
me the same thing as they told the person who set up these files - they
don't support ARA.  Has anyone found a solution to the problem??  I intend
to order the ARA developer's kit, but not until the new funding cycle starts
next year.

Thanks much.

The $349.00 price is only good if you are a REGISTERED user of another
Global Village modem.  If you have not registered your modem, then
do so before calling.  The correct number to call is 1-800-343-3311
or 1-800-736-4821 to order.  NOTE: You must be a registered user or
you do NOT qualify for this price.  If you call the 415-390-8300 number
you will end up in a queue and just be referred to the 800 number.

This is very nice, but it is limited to a simple terminal session.  There

Has anyone worked out a trick or mechanism to download Compuserve library

I posted this yodel for help once before and despite my best efforts, I
still have one site that is experiencing a problem with the TCP/IP
communication side of an application we have written. So, if anyone has
any experience with this one I would have a very merry Christmas if it
could help me.

System 7.0, the first Tune-Up (V1.0), Mac II, MacTCP 1.1.1. MacTCP
returns -23015 - "The connection came up halfway and then failed".

I have constructed an identical network, tried different configurations,
different OS levels, trap code, trace code, debug code, code code, no
code..... I CANNOT make it fail. Just this one site fails.

Is there any internal debugging technique for MacTCP that might give me
an insight into what MacTCP is seeing? Like some trace code within MacTCP
itself? Short of going on-site with a Lanalyzer, which might not tell me
anything anyway, I am running out of ideas.

Thanks and a Happy Holiday Season to you all.

Hi folks!
You will have to forgive me if this topic has been covered before, but I didn't
see it in the FAQ lists.

Using BYU Telnet 2.5 to connect to a Unix host, is there a way to re-map the
funtion keys? Or find out exactly what codes are being sent? The Unix host is
running a database program that requires the use of function keys, and expects
certain key codes from those function keys.

I tried re-mapping the keys using Resedit, but i didn't seem to have any
effect. But I am a novice in these matters, so I may have overlooked something.
If posible, please give examples or point me to some sources.

Thanks alot!

Dear NetFolk:

I am trying to pull a TeachText file from my Mac (IIsi) to my Sun machine, but
Telnet (2.5) /Fetch (2.0.6) are behaving strangely:

    0) The connection starts, takes an inordinately long time, like a 
    minute or more, then gets the error message "netin: Connection reset by
    peer."  An "!ls" reveals that the transferred file has zero length on 
    the Sun.

    1) Fetch's error message is "Error: you have exceeded your storage 
    allocation on the host.", which I do not believe.

    2) Deleting, renaming files, listing directories from the Mac and from 
    the Sun, transferring megabyte files from Sun to Mac -- all work fine.
    It's just Mac->Sun I have the problem.  ASCII, Binary, MacBinary -- all
    the same.

    3) It occurs whether I use LocalTalk Built-In via a GatorBox or 
    EtherTalk 1.2 (can't use phase 2 for other reasons) direct on the same 
    LAN. 

    Any suggestion how to transfer files to the Sun?

I believe the latest version of VersaTerm has multiple window support.
One of the strong points of VT that may already have been mentioned is that
it uses the Communications Tool Box. This may be particularly useful to
powerbook owners who can use VT as their terminal emulator over a variety
of connection methods simply by changing tools.

However, I found the user interface confusing. I recommended it to a
novice, and he had a heck of a time getting it to work for him. When I had
him bring it in, I could see why. It appeared to me that multiple windows
and CTB support had been added without enough thought to revision of the
original single window non-CTB implementation user interface. The net
result is a confusing user interface.

Subsequently I got to try out Microphone 1.7. It is bundled with a lot of
modems. Not as powerful and doesn't have CTB support, but it is pretty easy
to do simple scripting, using the 'watch me' method. Maybe it's just me,
but I had a hard time figuring out how to get VT to do what this novice
wanted, namely to dial a number and then execute a simple script (i.e., to
connect to and log on a particular host). This turned out to be a snap with
Microphone. Microphone would definitely have been a better choice for this
particular person.

Keywords: MacTCP ARA 

I realize this has been hashed over, and that, yes in theory, one can
use TCP services from a remote Mac via ARA connected to a host MAC on
the network; however, I haven't been able to get it to work.

As per the basic requirements, I have a remote Mac running ARA and
MacTCP, connected to the host Mac (via ARA) which is also running
MacTCP and is connected to a site-wide Ethernet network.  We run both
Ethertalk and TCP over the Ethernet, and the host Mac can utilize both
sets of services just fine.  When I bring up MacTCP on the remote Mac,
and select the Localtalk icon (that's the only one available, since it
doesn't have an Ethernet connection) I get a popup list of all the
available Mac zones on our network.  I select the zone to which the
host Mac (server) is connected.  The problem is that whenever I
attempt to Telnet, etc. I never get a connection.  Any clues?  We do
have a Gatorbox on our network.  Should I (on the remote Mac) select
within MacTCP the Localtalk zone that the Gatorbox is on (which is
different than that which my host server is on)?  Anything else
obviously wrong.  I'd really like this to work, but have been
unsuccessful so far.

    Well, I haven't used MPII, but I have used SmartComm and can
recommend it. It's small and fast, works flawlessly on my PB170, and
(speaking quite subjectively) doesn't seem to suffer from the
lingering flakiness that afflicts most of the more "feature-ridden"

a sophisticated scripting facility or exotic doodads like >24 lines on
your VT100 display (which I don't _need_, but sure would like).

    As far as modems go (you're talking _religion_ here, so you want
to be careful)...I've got two Practical Peripherals 14400FXSA modems
which I like a lot. They're cheap, warrantied for life, and perform
very well under less-than-ideal circumstances.

  Well I've always found that ZTerm serves me in the software dept., but when

handshaking correctly.
