We have an problem to which we are sure there has to be a solution...but
have no idea what that solution might be...

We have a Zenith 486, with a Cabletron Card (network connection) and we
would like to print from Windows 3.1 to a DEC LPS400 using TCP/IP
connections.  We would like to be able to do this without Pathworks or
Novell or any kind of other "formal" network...besides TCP/IP.  The problem
that we are seeing is that Windows doesn't have the necessary print
drivers.  Are there any TCP/IP-only drivers that might help, either public
domain or otherwise?  Any other ideas that might be usefull?

I need some information by 5:00 today, please. I've been asked
by a friend of a friend to "typeset" his master's thesis. He has the
paper written out, but I have to type it up, insert a few graphs, and
make it look presentable. I've got Aldus Pagemaker, WordPerfect for
Windows, and Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows. Additionally,I can check the grammar 
with Grammatik 5. I figure this project will take me at least a half a day,
if not longer. The guy figures the paper will be 5-8 pages in length, 
including graphs. My problem is: How much do I charge him for this?
I was thinking $5/page....Is this too little/much? Should I charge by
the hour??? PLEASE EMAIL!!!

thanks,
 Mike

and putting out either FDDI and/or ethernet TCP/IP on the other side.  I am
posting to this general group because everything from a protocol converter

                     =====================================
                             MAGELLAN CD-ROMs
                                 Cycle 2
                             November 5, 1992
                     =====================================

     Fourteen more Magellan CD-ROMs (volumes 53 through 66) have now
been released by the Magellan project.  A total of 77 Magellan CD-ROMs
are now available: 66 CD-ROMs containing radar images, and 11 CD-ROMs
containing altimetry data.  Volumes 1 through 52 contain the radar
images taken by the Magellan spacecraft during Cycle 1, the first 8 month
mapping of the planet Venus.  Volumes 53 through 66 are the first release
of the Cycle 2 radar data.

     The CD-ROMs can be obtained from the National Space Science Data Center
(NSSDC) at the Goddard Space Flight Center.  The "nominal" charge is $20 for
the first CD-ROM, and $6 for any additional CD-ROM in an order.  However,
NSSDC may waive this charge for a small amount of data requested by bona fide
research users, government laboratories, etc.  School teachers who are unable
to pay may be helped on a case by case basis, and/or as resources permit.
Researchers funded by NASA's Solar System Exploration Division can also obtain
the CD-ROMs through the Planetary Data System at JPL.

     NSSDC's address is:

	National Space Science Data Center
	Goddard Space Flight Center
	Greenbelt, Maryland 20771
	Tel: (301) 286-6695

        Email address:   request@nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov

     You can also reach NSSDC by logging on to their computer.  To log onto the
NSSDC computer, telnet to NSSDC.GSFC.NASA.GOV and give the username "NSSDC".
You will then be connected to a menu system which allows you to use the
"Master Directory".  You can also leave questions and orders for the NSSDC
staff.  If this is the first time you have used the NSSDC "NODIS" system, it
will ask you for information (name, address, ...) to keep a database of NSSDC
users.

     NSSDC also provides the following software to display the images:

        o IMDISP       (IBM PC)
        o Browser      (Macintosh)
        o Pixel Pusher (Macintosh)
        o True Color   (Macintosh)

     The Magellan CD-ROMs will also eventually be available at the anonymous 
ftp site at the Ames Research Center: ames.arc.nasa.gov [128.102.18.3].
The Ames site has two CD-ROM drives and they are accessible through the
pub/SPACE/CDROM and pub/SPACE/CDROM2 directories.

Subject: The "commercial use of net" problem -- irrelevant?
Date: 11 Nov 1992 21:45:46 -0800
Organization: University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
NNTP-Posting-Host: almaak.usc.edu
Summary: Irrelevant issue?
Keywords: Internet, commercial usage

I'm used to seeing "commercial use of the net" being frowned upon.  I
get the feeling this is overdone and largely irrelevant.  I could well
be wrong factually -- could you educate me?

My claim is that the Internet is already quite commercialised, and
that it's not bleeding as a consequence.
I think it's hence time for us to stop worrying about commercial use,
and plan for a next decade of the net where commercial use is the
norm, not the exception.

Notice:
1. Services like Clarinet are explicitly commercial, and they live off the
internet and the software systems developed on it.

2. There are bookstores operating on the net.
They advertise books on misc.books.technical and take orders by email.

3. Companies routinely post press releases and the like on newsgroups.
Such use often blurs the thin line between technical information and
propaganda.

4. There exist small-time entrepreneurs who hawk homemade PCs and the
like on the misc.forsale groups.  It's not like selling your old PC to
make way for a new one; these guys make a lot of money off the
orders obtained through the net.

5. Lots of companies use email for "commercial" applications.  There
is business correspondence flowing over the net.  That classifies as
"commercial use"?  Is Sunflash a commercial use of the net?

6. Lots of profit making companies sell net access in various shapes
and sizes (from uunet to the $15/month Unix account).  Is that
"commercialisation"?

7. Misc.jobs.offered and misc.jobs.wanted are routes for companies to
get business done -- is that commercialisation?  A posting on m.j.o is
a free advertisement which reaches a very select audience.


I see all the above "commercial uses of the net" as being commonplace,
and I don't think they detract from the utility of the network.

What do you think?

	Well, nslookup here shows it.  And if you query nis.ans.net,
you get a little more information, but no A, or MX records.  Here is
what was returned by a local nslookup:

	    > prodigy.com
	    Server:  nis.ans.net
	    Address:  147.225.1.2

	    prodigy.com     origin = nis.ans.net
		    mail addr = hostmaster.nis.ans.net
		    serial=9209020, refresh=1 hour, retry=5 mins
		    expire=2 days, min=1 day
	    prodigy.com     nameserver = nis.ans.net
	    prodigy.com     nameserver = merit.edu
	    nis.ans.net     inet address = 147.225.1.2
	    merit.edu       inet address = 35.1.1.42
	    merit.edu       inet address = 35.42.1.42

	I'll bet that when all the records are in place, prodigy.com
will not be accessible from the NSF funded portions of the internet,
only to those folks who (or whose network providers) have purchased
the ANS CO+RE package. :-(

	Of course, seeing that Prodigy purchased services from ANS
shouldn't be surprizing, since they are both IBM affiliated
companies..

	Here's to internet connectivity!

Here's what I need: A general algorithm for graphical layout of
graphs (nodes and arcs) which minimizes arc intersection, minimizes
total arc lengths (under the constraints of minimum distance between
nodes and minimum individual arc lengths), and gives a visually
appealing layout. I'm sure that there are all sorts of other
interesting features which would be nice (variable size nodes, a
concept of 'gravity' which would allow this algorithm to be used to
create standard graphs of tree structures (among other uses)), but
those would be gravy. I've been confronted with this same problem a
few times in the past, but before always managed to side-step it;
not this time. I'm sure someone has already done this sort of thing,
and I'd really appreciate it if I could stand on the shoulders of
giants :-). Thanks in advance...

I think that this newsgroup is the wrong venue for your debate.  Even so, I
feel the need to spend my two pennies.

I notice that your (and my) domain is .EDU , and, as such, we are to some
extent probably spending tax dollars.  I would frown upon your making money
at my tax expense.  The .EDU persons would probably frown if your making
money caused them to lose their tax dollars.

But if that happened, you could always become a .COM (at your expense, of
course)      :^)

If you do become a .COM , can I have a free account from you?

I was once advised about how to figure out how much my time is worth when deciding on
personal projects to take on, such as cutting my lawn, changing oil in the car,
remodeling the bathroom, etc.  Take your base hourly net wage (after taxes, etc.) and 
multiply it by two-thirds.  Multiply that by the number of hours you expect it to take 
you to complete the project.  If it costs you more to pay someone else to do it
(and all the outside advantages/disadvantages even out) do it yourself.  

In this case, you could charge two-thirds of your hourly wage.  Or you could call a 
resume or typing service and charge a similar rate.  Whatever you do, charge a fair 
price but don't cheat yourself.

And a local electronics firm of national renown won't let me
connect through them to usenet UNLESS I PROVE TO THEM THAT I AM IN

The X window system resource management software is very appealing for use
in designing configuration management information.  I am wondering what
packages , commercial or otherwise, are available for managing resources
in a similar manner exist.  The base software will primarily be C or C++.
The software which needs to be configured would all be 'home-grown' so that
integrating the details into vendor software will be a lower priority.

Dependance on an X server in existance is not desired.  Obviously some sort
of database management software will be needed, as well as software to
update, override , handle classes, document, etc.

Is there a better group of which to ask this question?
