As Ed Wilts suggested, I recommend Eudora, however, if you don't have
Multinet, you have other options for POP:

1) IUPOP3 from Indiana University (ftp.logos.indiana.edu). This supports
a number of protocol stacks, including UCX. Note that they have recently
discovered a memory leak in callable mail, and there is a CSCPAT for
this. Mail junkies be advised.

2) PMDF is supposed to have a POP server in the 4.2 version.

Another option is to use DECUS UUCP and uAccess, which is how I get mail
at home. Actually, I also run Eudora on top of uAccess, so I can have
Eudora automatically extract BinHexed enclosures to my disk. But I
digress.

Hope this helps,

There is no conflict; the usenet code of conduct explicitly forbids
advertising. Period.

When Interconn personnel mention your commercial product in a netnews
posting, they are advertising, plain and simple. 

If you feel you must mention your product, you should mention your
competitors as well, in a non-judgemental fashion.  (I do this my
email messages too, but I don't expect you to be that ethical).

If we don't keep advertising off the net, we'll lose what little
federal funding it gets. so start stop advertising on the net.

I read this newsgroup everyday as part of my job; I don't feel the need
to prove this to potential customers by posting several blatantly
commercial postings a week.  I use email, not netnews, to respond to
questions about our products.  Why don't you try this too?


DISCLAIMER: I work for a competitor of Intercon's, but I'm fed up with
their continued commercial postings to this newsgroup so I just
couldn't resist replying. Also, I'm not talking about people like
Stever Dorner. He's talking about a free product.  Granted a side
effect of his prominent net presence is good pr for Qualacomm, but
that's fine.  More power to them for supporting such wonderful
shareware.

MacTCP Downgrade.

At work we have been using MacTCP version 1.0.2 with system 7.1 for about two
months now on a LCII and a PowerBook 100. The only problems that have occured
are that the LocalTalk icon would not come up in the control panel. This can be
fixed by patching the cdev resource ID -4064, at offset $4228 from $00FF to
$00FC. The only other problem has been using it on a PowerBook 100 where it
would drop into MacBug with the message 'Duplicate IOC' if the computer had
fallen asleep. At the moment we are in no hurry to upgrade to MacTCP 1.1.1 as
1.0.2 works fine.

A few people in our office will be in the position of having two machines.
A Mac here, and a NeXT elsewhere. What I am looking for is a way to make

What I am looking for is something like Access PC that lts you mount a NeXT
floppy on the desktop and read and write to it with translations being done
invisibly. I heard that the latest NeXT OS can read and write mac disks,
but I don't know how easily.

Any help? E Mail please. Thanks in Advance.

I don't have any answers, but I notice that my V.32bis/V.42/V.42bis SLIP 
connection exhibits the same "pauses" on occasion. I'm using either Fetch or 
TCP/Connect II to transfer files and I consistently get between 1200 cps and 
1300 cps on binary files and about 1600 cps on ASCII files. The worst it ever 
gets is around 1000 cps on binary files, and that's pretty rare. Not too bad 
considering all the SLIP and TCP/IP overhead that must be going on behind the 
scenes.

Subject: Problem Installing ARA on IIfx
Date: 12 Jan 93 21:52:25 GMT
Organization: University of Wisconsin, Madison -- Computer Sciences Dept.

I'm having trouble installing AppleTalk Remote Access on a Mac IIfx on
which it performed fine before.  Here's the error message I'm getting,
which pops up when I try to check "Answer Calls" in the "Remote Access
Setup" window:

	A Remote Access Setup error has occurred.
	AppleTalk(r) Remote Access is not supported
	by the AppleTalk connection selected in the
	Network control panel.

I click OK to continue, and there's a several second pause before the
Mac comes back and is usable.

The Network control panel shows EtherTalk selected (Phase 2, actually),
and LocalTalk Built-In and Remote Only as the only other two options.

This Mac originally had ARA on it, and it was removed for one reason
or another (or simply stopped working, I forget which), so I tried
to reinstall it with extensions off (booted holding down shift), but
this error keeps popping up.  ARA DID work on this machine; I personally
dialed in to it and used it remotely.  (The same install disks
were used in all installations to this machine.)

Note that TCP/IP services and EtherTalk services (laserwriters, 
columbia appleshare, File sharing incoming and outgoing) all work
fine.

Specs:  Mac IIfx, 8 MB RAM, VM turned off, System 7.0.1 + tuneup.
	MacTCP 1.1, Ethernet board of unknown type
	ARA v1.0 (1991)
	Modem: MultiTech MultiModem V32B, set up for 9600 bps

Do I have to strip out every speck of ARA before reinstalling it?
I may have left some of the pieces in a non-system folder.
Does anyone know what else could be wrong?  Thanks,

I have a Zoom 24/96 modem. I tried a couple of times to install 
FaxSTF 2.2.3 on it. It was very frustrating but I got the right
driver at last. Use the following "driver type":
PN2388 for Rockwell RC9624AT based modems.
FaxSTF works fine on my modem, except I don't have manual send anymore.
But I still have manual receive. Perhaps the FaxSTF installer thinks
Zoom 2496 does not support manual send. But when I was still using the
terrible Quick Link II Fax, the program supports manual send.

My comment "performs flawlessly with ARA, datacom programs, and FAX" was
mutually exclusive for the three functions. This issue of modems being
able
to distinguish the nature of a call-in is an important one. I have a
Prometheus
Ultima Home Office attached to my Mac at the office and it answers my
phone
and auto-switches between FAX and voicemail modes (the FAX caller must
submit a heralding tone, or the modem assumes a human caller). The only
way
that I was able to get it to switch into ARA mode (datacomm autoanswer)
was
to write an init that patches a routine over the system file-open trap
and 
looks for the opening of a voicemail box greeting file. This file is only
accessible
by entry of a "secret" touchtone code by the caller. If the voicemail
system
opens this file, meaning that I have called and entered the TT sequence,
the init
disables the FAX/Voicemail s/w and reboots the machine. The next call
finds
the machine in ARA autoanswer mode. After I finish my ARA activity, I
access
a file that is monitored that resets and reboots the machine in
FAX/Voicemail
mode. This is a kludgy solution to the "problem", but when I complained
to 
Prometheus about it, they said they were working it and an upgrade to
their s/w
to do the auto-mode-switch would be ready in 6 months (that was four
months 
ago).

I'm going to look at the LineShare demo and would be interested in
others' 
experience with this problem.

How would one go about finding locating local Holonet access?  Looking

If that's happening, you (or the gateway) has some other problem.  The
space in a screen name can be removed.  I believe it can also be replaced
by an underscore "_", dash "-", or period "." (though a period may not be
valid).

For example, I reach my screen name "AFC Noah" by using "afcnoah@aol.com"
without trouble.

A friend of mine owns two Macs and an Amiga. To get files from the Amiga
to the Macs and back he uses a direct serial connection.
As we all know this is slow.

He has tried using Ethernet some time ago, but wasn't able to get this
to work.

He now has tried to use Syquest's to move the data. On the Amiga side
there is a small program that enables you to read and write MSDOS
Syquest cartidges. It's called CrossDos. Is there a similar program for
the Mac ?

Then I heard about ParNet. It's a program that alows you to connect two
Amiga's with a direct paralel connection. Somebody told me there was a
possibility to connect an Amiga and a Mac this way.

Has anybody out there solved one of these problems?

He's desperate.

1) Obtain a copy of StuffIt Expander 3.0 [freeware] and use that
   to "Expand" the BinHex file.

-or-

2) Edit the file to remove all lines before "(This file must be
