Is there a freeware or shareware thingee to allows you to map part of your
keyboard to emulate the keypad on a regular adb mac keyboard? It appears
that he US Menu thingee does not do this, merely emulating a numeric keypad
for data entry types. If so, where can I get it?

Subject: Setting page length for PB Fax


I have a PB 170 with internal fax/modem (apple). Our school has a Canon
fax, a device that prints on actual 8x11 pages. When I send fax to this
machine, the bottom of "my" page spills-over, as if I were sending 8x11.5

Is there something wrong with my fax, with my school's fax (unlikely since
our receptionist has never seen something like that before)?

I could probably try to set wider footers to prevent spill-overs, but would
rather work in a WYSIWYFax environment. Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, if FTP is enabled in the config file, FTP will be enabled
every time Telnet is started.  Every user will need to be informed of
this, so YES, it can be a problem.  Fortunately, you can also specify a
password file in the config file.  I do not know what happens if a
password file is specified, put the file is nonexistent.

 Has anyone had much luck connecting Supra v.32bis modems using ARA? I have
been trying without luck. I was able to connect them at 4800 (Supra-Supra). But
I have not be able to go higher. I was unable to connect a Zoom v.32bis to the
same Supra using ARA. The Supra and Zoom both connect well with a ZoomTurbo
(12,000 baud)? I have move the modems around, on campus and off but it made no
change. Both modems work fine with local BBS's and the university data switch.

I heard that Supra's have problems making a connection but connected just fine
with the Zoom v.32bis on my favorite BBS (14,400 baud)! Is this a timing
problem with ARA. I tried the latest Supra scripts and even hacked up a few new
versions to try to force high speed connections to shorten the negotiation
time.

Also, has anyone connected Zoom v.32bis modems using ARA? I need a modem for
the lab (under $500 if possible) and I have the Supra but intend to return it
if I can find one that is more reliable on ARA. (like I said, it works fine
dialing in at 12,000 baud.

I'm not too happy with the level of newsgroup fragmentation we already
have on usenet. IMHO, people who want to spawn off new subgroups just
aren't using good newsreaders. 

A quick nngrep for 'mac' give me the following list, editted to remove
the irrelevant stuff:

aus.mac
bit.mailserv.word-mac
chile.comp.mac
comp.binaries.mac
comp.lang.forth.mac
comp.sources.mac
comp.sys.mac.advocacy
comp.sys.mac.announce

comp.sys.mac.oop.misc
comp.sys.mac.programmer
comp.sys.mac.system
comp.sys.mac.wanted
ctdl.sys.mac
cu.cs.macl.info
fj.sys.mac
misc.forsale.computers.mac
resif.info.mac
su.computers.mac
su.macintosh
uw.mac-users

'misc.forsale.computers.mac?' Are we out of control yet?

Just ask yourself some simple questions while reading news: If I don't
care about HERMES discussions, then why am I reading them? No one
forces you to read any threads you thinks are stupid. Ignore them.  If
you are worried about missing important information, don't be. It'll
come around again. Important information on USENET cycles around
constantly, usually do to newbie questions.

On the other hand, the whole situation is a total mess, and I have no
problems adding yet another low-bandwidth/ultra-narrow newsgroup to my
newsreader. I will vote 'no' if the issue gets that far but ultimately
it is of little consequence to me and my favorite newsreader.

My final argument against new groups: cross-posting. Consider where you
posted this original. This very thread appears in three newsgroups.
Why? Because they already overlap.  Well, if you form c.s.m.mactcp (or
whatever) you've got another target to shoot for.

Now where did I leave my asbestos underwear?

Hi,

I have some problems with CAPs authentication, a realloc() fails if I have
this line in my cap.auth file:

*.*.innet       51.02 51.03 51.04 51.05 51.06 51.07 51.08 0.10 0.11 0.12 0.13 0.14 0.15 0.16 0.17 0.18 0.19

The error message I get (when I start AUFS) is:

aufs: realloc failed


I can only assume the problem is the large amount of network numbers. I tried
separating the line into two lines, but that gave the same error. If I have
less network numbers on the line, it works ok. I haven't tried to find out
exactly how many numbers it will accept, but I really need to have the numbers
above. [We have a rather large AppleTalk network, connecting several depts.
using ethertalk routers]

Is there a simple solution? Could I do something like

*.*.innet	51.[02-08] 0.[10-19]


Any help is appreciated!

MacWeek just gave Lotus's cc:Mail 2.0 thier "Diamond" Award for (in their
opinion) "best cross-platform mail".

"cc:Mail is not fast, it needs some client tweaking, and its RAM
requirements (in the neighborhood of 1MB) can be a mojor obstacle. But in
many cases it has better features, a better interface and a better basic
structure than competing E-mail packages. A Mac cc:Mail remote client is
in the works, so the major missing components in cc:Mail's line are the
numerous gateways that QuickMail enjoys. If your priority is delivering
reliable E-mail to everyone's desk, however, cc:Mail 2.0 is the one to
look at first."

That price is only for an upgrade for users who purchased one of the

will only sell you the upgrade.....It is a pretty good deal though because
you get to keep the v.32 also.........I know because I took advantage of

    Well, caveat emptor. I _assumed_ (stupidly, as it turned out) that
because the terminal functions in Smartcom II weren't based on the
Communications Toolbox, I could increase the number of rows displayed
under VT100 emulation to more than 24. (This has always struck me as
one of the CTB's most astounding deficiencies.)

    So I bought Smartcom II, found it a slick little program, and
promptly discovered that it's 24 rows and we don't care how big your
screen is...

    I'm back to using VersaTerm Pro and cursing the lack of zmodem.
Some people want it all (and would be willing to pay for it (hint,

This is ONLY true if you have the FTP Enable selected.
Otherwise it is not a problem at all.

I would recommend the FTPd from Peter Lewis for your
