I have been telecommunicating with a Macintosh for some time now, but I am just
getting started on a PC (with MS Windows).  I have a rather complete set of
shareware/freeware communication tools on the Mac and I would like to duplicate
those abilities on the PC with the best possible user interface.  I am
connected to Internet and I have a unix account that has Usenet news and keeps
track of my mail.  Could anyone help me find the best tools on the PC to
communicate?  I want to do the following:

1.  Telnet:  I use NCSA telnet on the Mac with a TCP connection.  I believe
this program also exists on the PC.  Any other suggestions?  I can ftp using
this also, but I prefer a program called Fetch which I will describe next.

2.	FTP:  I can do this several ways, but the best is with a Mac program called
Fetch.  Fetch not only gives a nice graphical interface to ftp, it also decodes
and uncompresses on the fly and can call other programs to decode formats that
are not built in.  This program is wonderful!  Is there any equivalent on the
PC, or do I have to use a command line ftp method?

3.	E-Mail:  I use Eudora on the Mac.  It has everything I need in a mail
program and is well documented and supported.  It will work from home over a
modem as well as via TCP.  I know that a PC version of this program is being
developed, but it's not out yet.  Any other suggestions?  I need something that
calls up my unix account and downloads my mail to my PC.  It would be nice if
it could check the mail at set intervals and keep track of my messages in mail
boxes like Eudora.

4.	Usenet news:  I use theNews on the Mac, but I have also used NewsWatcher. 
Both are quite good.  They download subscribed articles from the unix news
server and give a nice graphical interface for reading sorting searching and
filing articles.  I have heard of Waffle, uunet, etc. and it is not really
clear to me whether these would be better solutions.

5.	Wide Area Info Servers:  I use both WAIStation and gopher on the Mac.  I
know there is a WAIS access program on the PC.  What about gopher?

As you can tell, I prefer things with nice interfaces.  I am competent enough
to use most any interface, but why bother.  I would appreciate any opinions on
solutions to my communication needs.  If there is enough interest, I will post
a summary.

Thanks in advance,
Clarke

If you run windows and use a permenent swap file, this is unmovable.  That is
usually quite a large file. (mine is 4 MB since I don't have enough RAM)
Be sure to run chkdsk /F.  It sounds like you may be getting a lot of lost 
clusters as well.  (though 1/4 of a hrad drive is alot, unless it is a small
drive)

I would like to be able to run SLIP between a pc at home and our DECstation
5000 at school. I need to dial up to a terminal server and connect to our
machine over LAT. I have set up the DECtstation end correctly. (I think) But,
how do I connect to it from the PC? I tired using procomm to dial the modem
and connct to our machine. Then, I exit procomm without hanging up the line.
Then, I run the slip packet driver SLIP8250 and the run CUTCP. But, how
does cutcp know that I am connected to the machine? There must be something
I am missing out on. What would be the best way to accomplish what I am 
looking for? Your help is greatly needed/appreciated.

Yes.  There is no communications program that I've ever heard of that handles
call waiting, since the call waiting 'beep' is an interruption of the modem
carrier.  However, you can turn off call waiting for a particular call by
prefixing it with *70: at least, it works for SW Bell in Houston.  Your
mileage my vary.

I'm rather pleased with DR-DOS V6.0 and Desqview 386 on my 386-33
4meg box for multitasking.  I'd be hard pressed to say which is
better but DR includes a bunch of utilities that you will pay

More specifically, I'd like to use my modem to spit out the touch tones
over the phone with a dial tone.  This way i can access automated
services that use touch tones for input.  So I guess I need a command that
tells the modem not to check for a dial tone, and to just dial a number.

did you specify to your communications protocol that you are downloading
binary files and not plain ascii files.  usually, if you do not specify,
it will assume ascii.  then again, it could be another problem altogether.

Well in New Zealand, you can't turn it off. Pay to turn it on and it's
there until you unsubscribe. So I have had to subscribe to call-diversion
service and divert my phone to myself (caller gets a busy signal) when
I use the modem. Trouble is when I finish a session and forget to undivert
the phone still is busy (lose a lot of calls that way!). Even sadder...

One data point:

We have a homegrown circuit simulation program complete
with graphics that shows register and probe values changing.
It runs on both our Sun Sparcs and PCs.  I have a 25MHz Sparc2
on my desk at work and a 33MHz 486DX with 4Meg at home.  The
program can run for 20 minutes or so.  Using a wall clock
I cannot detect a significant difference in run time -- the 486 has a
slight advantage.  If anything, I believe that those times indicate that
the Sun is faster since it is on an ethernet and is managing
a complex set of windows (OpenWindows) including a number of
jobs (clock, mailtool,...).  The PC version does not run under
Microsoft Windows.

This example should not be interpreted too broadly.  It indicates
to me that the machines are reasonably close.  I have no doubt
that there are many programs that can show more significant 
differences between these machines.  As with any machine, figure
out what YOU need.

Sorry, it's too late to something against it - if you are not an expert.

Do one of the following:

 - repartition and reformat your harddisk
or
 - go find out what the beast did and correct it.

Excuse me if I can't go more into detail, but trojans can damage nearly

Yes,  you can occasionally tweak the bus speed.  When the AT came
out I replaced the 286 with an 8 MHz version and ran it at 10 MHz.
All was "well" (not counting occasional problems;  in which case 
I had to "fall back" to 8 MHz.  Unfortunately I don't have any
experience doing this on newer PC's;  the performance gain vs.
chip physical limits that are attained per unit of personal physical
labor make it too expensive.  It's cheaper to go out and buy a new
faster motherboard.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I downloaded this file (AMIGAEM.ZIP)
from a BBS.  Has anyone heard of such a beast?  I'm afraid to run it,
for fear that it's some sort of a Trojan horse.  (I mean that both in
the original sense and in the special case of a virus.)

The archive contains two files: EMULATOR.EXE (273,947 bytes uncompressed)
and README.USA, of which the full text is reproduced below:

-------------------- SLICE HERE --------------------
 
The Emulator runs only with VGA Card, Microsoft compatible Mouse and
a minimum of 512K extended memory. The mouse has to be Microsoft
compatible on COM1:.
Kickstart 1.2, Version 33.192 will be emulated.
 
There is no hardware emulation, so only "clean" programed stuff
will run. (slowly)
 
The boot drive is Drive A, and if this is a 5," you have to make
a copy of the 3 1/2....
 
-------------------- SLICE HERE --------------------

(That's 393 bytes, by the way.)

A text search of the executable turned up nothing of interest save a
few Workbench references.

A virus scan found nothing.

Archie couldn't find AMIGAEM.ZIP or anything like it in the Internet
archives.

The file had no description on the BBS, and I don't know who uploaded
it.

Advice is desperately needed!

Hello, I just got Norton Utilities (Because of some HD problems). After looking
through everything, I started reading about NDOS. Does anyone have any tips
regarding geting optimal performance when using NDOS as your primary shell and
possible program incompatibilities? I have a 386/33 w/4 megs of memory.
