Are you using Restore 2.1? From your description, it sounds like you are

Organization: Galloway Research
Originator: johng@godzilla

I would like to have my Mac dial a phone, but I have no need to
have a modem on this line.   The intended purpose is to be able to have
the Mac reset/change call forwarding on my regular voice line (which can
only be changed from the phone being forwarded, not remotely).
Thus I can call in to a modem via applelink remote, or just with an
phone and an app that listens for tones and takes commands, and issue
a command to have the mac dial out on my voice line and reset or chnage the
forwarding.  So I do not need a full modem, but perhaps just a putting
a cheapo on a serial port, setting it to never answer, and then plugging
my phone/answering machine into it, is the easiest way to do this.  Any
ideas?  I know you can issue tones with just the speaker, but how do you go
off-hook?

Have you downloaded the MicroPhone II technote on how to send it
AppleEvents? It available on the SVC BBS (510) 849-1912. You might
want to double check that phone number in the MP II manuals since
I'm typing it from memory.

Sending it the Do Script AppleEvent is not just a matter of sticking
the script name in. The Do Script is a AppleEvent Object, so it expects
the more complex Object Specifier for identifying a script within a
MP II settings document.

Lastly, Apple changed the AERegistery for Get and Set Data after
MicroPhone II shipped. A critical keyword changed from 'kdat' to 'data'
or something akin to that. (Once again I'm working from memory here, so
don't take those keywords for absolutes) If you start working with
Get and Set Variable events for MP II, you'll want to be aware of this.

I'm told that Get and Set Variable in MP II v4.0.2 will have been changed
to reflect the lastest incarnation of Get and Set Data the AERegistry.

With ZModem, you can download files in batch, ie one after the other. 
Usually done (if it doesn't have an obvious option for it) by typing several 
file names on the download prompt (separated by a space).  Depends on the

Subject: Macs, Unix, and Gator Box - HELP!!!
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 15:55:28 GMT
Organization: Encore Computer Corporation, Ft. Lauderdale, FL


I need to transfer some Mac files to another Mac, but I have
to go through a Unix machine in between.  The person on the
other Mac is not too swift, so I need to find the easiest solution
possible.  

I am set up with a Mac connected to our network via Ethernet.
The other end has a Mac connected via a Gator Box.  Using the
Gator Box, he can just drag and drop files between the Mac and
Unix system.  The problem is the Gator Box dumps the file on 
the Unix system as two separate files:  data and resource.

I need to know if a program exists that I can use to put these
2 files back together so I can transfer back to my Mac using
Ethernet and end up with a file my Mac can recognize.

I realize I can BinHex the Mac file from my end and ftp it 
out to the Unix machine.  The person on the other end can then
drag and drop it onto his Mac, but he then has to use StuffIt
to deBinHex it.  This would work, except the person on the 
other end gets confused very easily.  We have done things 
this way at least 10-20 times, and each time we do it again I
have to explain the process all over again.  

It would be much simpler if there is some way to solve the
compatibility problem from my end.  Does anybody know if
there is a way to convert the Gator Box'd files on the Unix
machine into a format I can use with Ethernet, ftp, and
Telnet?

I appreciate any help anybody can give me.  You can reach
me via email to ashelton@cshu.encore.com or give me a 
call at 1-800-468-8540.

I don't claim to be an expert here, but you might want to look into

The UK JNT 'greybook' mail protocol explicitly defines an 'Acknowledge-To"
field. The definition and semantics follow:

******
5.1 Delivery Notification

In exceptional circumstances, a user may require positive confirmation
that a message has been delivered. This will be indicated by the insertion
of an optional field:

	"Acknowledge-To" ":" mailbox	; address to acknowledge to

[...] This address should not be used for error notification or for any
other purpose. An implementation should take steps to prevent
acknowledgement messages from generating error notification messages.

The acknowledgement is used at a user level and is not intedned for
automated analysis. It should indicate exactly what has happened to the
message (e.g. that the message has been placed where the user can read it,
or that the user has read the message). It may be appropriate to send more
than one acknowldgement message. The text of the acknowledgement message
will contain the address or addresses being acknowledged, and the value of
the Message-ID: field (if present). Use of a References: field is
suggested. Automatic generation of acknowedgment requests is not
recommended, as such messages are not needed in most cases. It is noted
that this field may cause problems in the are of distribution lists,
although this problem is beyond the scope of this protocol specification.

Well, *I* like NetOctopus. I arranged the purchase of enough NetOctopus to  
handle the entire Macintosh community for Motorola Semiconductor for the next  
couple of years. (15000 nodes).

I know the programmer and he's very sharp, the team that he works with are  
very bright and fun to work around. The support staff here in the U.S. are  
very conscientious and feel more like a big family. Support has always been  
good.

International versions and support are available.

I like the integration in NetOctopus and their choice of separate screens  
instead of one big screen. *I* find GraceLan very hard to work with.

The security features in NetOctopus work well for large sites with central  
support. We distribute the admin program to the site coordinator who acts as  
the super-user. That person then distributes password protected versions of  
the admin program to the sub-net administrators with appropriate limitations  
to the nodes they can access. This helps keep the tunneled zones from having  
conflicts with the different sub-net admins.

The new release v1.1 supports AppleEvents (Frontier), timed/delayed  
activities, remote installs of Apple Installer scripted programs, more node  
information available and the ability to edit fields on the node's responder  
(the InfoReporter) to put our information in; we use the fields for hardware  
audit information.

When we upgraded to the System 7.0 print drivers, we did about 200 machines in  
about two hours (We took it very easy and a zone at a time). We had to go to  
about 15 machines and do the upgrade by hand because of a conflicts in the  
version of the print monitor (it always said it was busy) or the user had  
restarted the machine and it was waiting at the MacPassword prompt. We had  
been sweating over the thought of the upgrade, but it went so quickly and  
smoothly that our boss took us out for pizza and beer afterwards. It worked  
great.

I just discovered FirstClass.  I made a connection and was quite impressed.
 The problem is that apparently there are no FirstClass BBS systems in area
code 404.  (Correct me please if I'm wrong.)

I noticed that there is an "AppleTalk" connection method.  Does this mean I
can connect to a FirstClass BBS over internet or is this only for LAN use? 
If I can connect over the net, does anyone know of a net-accessable

Grin.  You obviously weren't around in the early days of Usenet :).
More seriously, it can be useful to have positive confirmation for 
troubleshooting both mail systems and bureaucracies (if you've never had 
someone say, "I never got any such email," you've led a charmed life).

Not quite.  You must have something equivalent to the unix popper also
running on the Vax.  If anyone can tell me where to get a popper for

This is true - involves setting the mac up as a DECnet node.  And of
course DEC Mail for Macintosh isn't a patch on Eudora.
