I am having problems with the terminal type negotiation between my

The main problem is my unix machine says WinQVT/Net is telling it
it's 'dec vt100'.  Ididn't get this message until I moved from a
386sx 16Mhz to a 486 50Mhz.  The software config is the same.

Any ideas where I can define or redefine the 'dec vt100'???

Has anyone had similar problems with WinFAX?

I constantly have lost the body of my message when I have tested the
program. I got the program with supraFAXmodem (V.32bis) and have
tested it both ways. Receiving is OK, but when sending a faxmessage
only the beginning of the faxmessage (about two or three lines) goes
through of one sheet faxmessage.

The messages the WinFAX gives in Windows are saying that the situation is
normal and the log says that faxmessage went through without errors.

Terminal emulation is only *one* of the services offered in WinQVTNet.
It has a news reading service also. Admittedly, not a very powerful
one, but it works. Check it out!

Subject: Norton Commander behavior for Windows 3.1 File Manager?
Organization: Univ. of Southwestern La., Lafayette
Distribution: na
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 14:00:16 GMT


We old-time users of Norton Commander have grown accustomed to several of its 
great features.  I am sure that others like I have tried Windows 3.1 and its 
File Manager and have found it very nice except for a few nicities NC has but
File Manager doesn't -- in particular, NC's interaction with the DOS prompt is
carries at the bottom it its dual list of directories.  Although one can run
a DOS command line constantly in Windows 3.1, File Manager doesn't interact 
with it the way NC does.  For example,

(1) In NC, the current directory for the DOS prompt is always set to whichever
of the two listed directories contains the highlighted file selection bar.
Thus, if a DOS command line is entered at the DOS prompt, the command is 
executed in the directory of the selected file.  

(2)  In NC, one can compose a DOS command line at the prompt by copying one,
two, three, or any number of file names from the directory listing (using
CTRL-Enter).  I can't see how to use drag-and-drop to accomplish this with 
Windows 3.1 File Manager and DOS prompt.  

Does anyone know of software for Windows 3.1 that makes File Manager work with
a DOS prompt in these ways?  Are there shareware solutions?  Or is the answer
Norton Desktop for Windows?  (Of course, these are the kinds of things one 
would like to try out before blowing a hundred bucks or so and finding no such
features.)

Well Chris this seems to happen alot with the SB line of boards. Especially
the numerious ones I have installed. First check the pin settings. Make
sure that your IRQ, Addresse's and so on for your setup are okay. Next
check your win ini file to make sure the setup correctly wrote to that file.
Check the system.ini file to see if the new driver is Installed. If none
of these turns out okay then you may have to return the board for another.
Else send mail and I will try to help you out further.

Sincerely,

Mike

  I know this was mentioned some time back but I wondered if anyone

to our campus backbone.  I leave WinQVT running and let them login
with anonymous and password.  They say they get "into" the system but
then it hangs and they cannot do anything else, no DIR, not GET, and
no PUT.

  Has anyone figured a way around this?  Is this just a limitation of
WinQVT?

Hello all ---

I seem to be having a problem printing with the MS Write app that comes
with Windows 3.1.  I am writing documentation for a program, and want to
include a screen capture of a dialog box.

What I did was:  I brought the dialog box up on the screen and pressed 
ALT/Print Screen to capture just that window to the clipboard.  All is well.
I choose Paste from the Edit menu in Microsoft Write.  The dialog box
appears in the document, and still, all is well.  Next, I choose Print
from the file menu.  Write starts printing, but then I get the message
"Problem with object/link" in a dialog box with an OK button.  So, I click
on the OK button, and the graphic in the document changes into a rectangle
with an oval in the middle with straight lines coming out of it !?

If I then choose Print again, I get a different message:  "Cannot print
picture.  Picture will be ignored."

I'm not trying to embed or link anything here.  Just simply want to get some
graphics into my document. If I double click on the graphic, I get the message
"This is not an embedded or linked object.  You cannot activate it."  

Anyway, is this a bug, or am I just doing something wrong?

Thanks,

 Hello!!
We have problems using DataFax software with the following modems:
	-US Robotics Sportster 14400
	-Hidem 2442/FAX
It seems like theres some problem with the initiation strings for
these modems. Both are according to their manuals Class 2 compatible.
But the default init strings for class 2 faxmodems results in error.
Both modems works with WinFax, but if you copy the initiation strings
from WinFax into DataFax you still get an initstring error from the
DataFax server.

	So I would be grateful if somebody had the solution to

the TrueType fonts.

Is there a fix or work around for this?  It seems too cumbersome to have

suggestions?

You may wish to look at the programs called:

Close-Up LAN (Norton)
or 
Carbon Copy LAN (MicroCom)

They seem like a lot of fun, and very easy to use.

They're really meant for taking control of other workstations, but also
include some communications between users.

Hope this helps,
