Michael,
  You need to decode the binhex (.hqx) using something like downline or
StuffIt Lite 3.0. You can find both at sumex-aim.stanford.edu in the
info-mac/util directory, or through your local user group (Double Click).

  If you need any assistance feel free to ask.

You can't set the "Host" in the command editing window.

It is...  Smartcom II has the _BEST_ 'screen update' response time of

ZTerm, QLII, and many of the other ones.  Smartcom II is "my comm

According to the Apple announcement, MacX 1.1.7 isn't compatible with 7.1,
and you have to upgrade to MacX 1.2.  They don't say wherein lies the incompatibility.
I know 1.1.7, System 7.0 and MacTCP 1.1.1 work together o.k.

It is problematic whether 7.1 is worthwhile, except for users of new model
Macs announced 10/19 and after.  It is intended to implement double-byte fonts,
some Script Manager changes for international users, and System Enablers (for
the new macs).  Most of this is of little immediate interest to U.S. users of
earlier Macs.  "Bug fixes kept to a minimum" was an explicit design goal for 7.1,
so don't look for much in the way of improved functionality over 7.0.

Updated by Mike Ward, Internet Mail Gateway Discussion Board Host
(Parth 2)

Due to technical reasons, we are still somewhat backlogged when it comes to
incoming mail from the Internet to AOL.  My personal tests have not changed
since this past weekend.  If that holds up for the whole system, we are at
very LEAST bottled up by about 6 or 7 days for INCOMING mail.

There are two pieces of good news in this, believe it or not.  One is that
outgoing mail has continued to be sent within a couple of hours, which is
normal.  That means that mail sent from AOL to the Internet should be
delivered as per usual.  The second is that AOL is most definitely aware of
the problem and is working on it.  As soon as I find out what steps are
being
taken to clear this up, I will post the information in this 
file.

NuBus boards don't seem to be very popular for some reason.  After some
digging around I found and bought Applied Engineering's internal NuBus
modem.  It also comes with an extra serial port which came in very
handy when I also started connecting MIDI equipment to my Mac.  Both
the modem and the serial port appear as Communication Toolbox devices,
so MacTerminal, for example, will know about them.  Many other (most)
applications (including printer drivers in system software) don't
recognize CTB devices, however, but Applied Engineering supplies a
control panel which can make the NuBus modem or serial port appear as
if they were the built-in printer or modem port.

	This was more than a year ago so I can't give you any accurate
price information, but you should be able to find that in any of the
MacMagazines.

	Does anyone have an e-mail or maybe even ftp address for
Applied Engineering?  I'd really like to get my hands on a more current
version of the driver software.

I can think of two explanations:

1) Your copy of MacTCP isn't finding a domain name server to resolve the  
name; you should make sure that you've entered the correct server address  
in the MacTCP control panel.  See Eric Behr's MacTCP notes on sumex-aim  
for more details.

2) The site you are trying to connect to advertises multiple addresses,  
only some of which are reachable.  Fetch only tries the first one  
returned, and if that one doesn't work you're out of luck.  I haven't  
thought of a good solution to this problem.

Jerry,

I've reported this problem to Mr. Browne (If I recall the author's name 
correctly) as a difficulty in connecting to HP-UX machines running o/s
versions prior to 8.X... I first noticed the problem with Beta versions
of 2.5 (NCSA, not BYU). The problem continues in 2.6B3 NCSA and is noted in
the known problems list.

You can use <cntl J> instead of return to get past the login, and sometimes 
the termtype request. I haven't seen the problem persist past that point.
Since it went away with 8.X, I'm less concerned.

I see you work for HP... are you running a pre-8.X version? 

If so, 2.4.19 should get you by until you upgrade to 8.X or (now) 9.01 
if your workaround isn't satisfactory.

Currently no.  In fact I do not believe that the AOL host is on the

all.  All e-mail to and from the Internet goes via some other system not

by AOL that I am guessing is "leased line" connection.  I cannot remember

   I'm thinking of getting a Teleport Gold modem, because I can get it for
$349 (being a registered user of an older Teleport modem), and I've heard
mixed reviews on the Supra modem.  (Some people seem to think it's great,
while others keep finding "bugs" in it.)

   I think I have more confidence in Global Village as they've been around
for awhile, and have consistently made good products.

   But I haven't heard anyone's review of the Teleport Gold.  Does anyone
have this, or have you seen reviews of it?  If so, how is it?  Does it have
any of the problems the Supra one has?

   I run a Hermes BBS; would this modem be compatible with Hermes?  (Or
would I have to get a special cable?  Right now I use Hermes with an ADB-style
Teleport, and don't have a special cable.)

   Of course I am attracted to features like Caller ID and Voice, but only
because I love "features".  In reality I'd never use these.  (I don't plan
on buying the Caller ID service, and I've already got a really nice answering
machine.)

Well, any reviews would be appreciated.

Inspired by Cliff's post, I decided last night to get Eudora set up for use
over a dialup line, as an interim solution until I get ARA	working.  It
took an hour or two, much of which was spent fighting with the comm toolbox
to get the modem configured right.  It helped a lot that I was already
familiar with ResEdit, and Cliff's warning about using the right version
(>= 1.1) of the Apple Modem Tool also helped.

I discovered a neat feature of Eudora in the process.  I set Eudora on my
home Mac to "Leave Mail on Server".  This way I can read mail at home, but
it still stays on my Unix account, and still gets downloaded next time I
run Eudora on my office Mac.  It's even smart enough to know which messages
I already read from another machine and not mark them as unread in the
window.  This way I can keep all my mail archives on the machine at work,
and reading things from home doesn't mess it up.

Subject: 2400 Modem or...
Date: 12 Dec 92 01:27:18 GMT
Organization: Waffle BBS at CompuTech Spokane, Washington

Ok, here's my $0.02
 
On the whole, I would be reluctant to recommend buying a 2400 baud
modem of any make.  The world is settling on 9600 and 14,400 baud
and the prices of modems with this capability is putting a lot of
price pressure on 2400 baud models.  This means it will be very
likely that by the time you are ready to buy your next modem, the
2400 baud boomer you buy today will not be worth much in sale or
trade.  But I know that dollars are tight these days and its tough
to lay out $300-$400 for a top-notch box.  From what you've been
talking about, I would suggest the Zoom over the Hayes.  You're
just not 2400 bps modems are becoming passe'.  They are depreciating
so quickly that I don't think there's any way you could expect to
sell one for more than $25-$50 in a year or so. 
 
So, if you're thinking of buying one now in order to sell it down
the road, you'll be disappointed.  The vast majority of local BBS's
and the commercial services offer 9600 bps connections. Further, the
commercial services have priced 9600 bps so that it is much less than
four times their price for 2400 bps (the difference factor in the two
speeds).  Even considering that the commercial services can't support
four times the throughput for all of the functions they support, it
still works out cheaper than 2400 bps in most cases.  And, naturally,
9600 bps will save you money if you communicate via long distance to
BBS's or other indivudals.

You can try MCImail for $35 per year and a charge per fax. You call them

possible to have a letterhead and signature scanned in.

With ARA on my Mac at work and on my Mac at home, I have the ability to use
