                    Advertise Your BBS in CONNECT!

CONNECT is a new magazine focusing on telecommunications from a user's
perspective, showing how to get the most from the places you call.  The
first bi-monthly issue of CONNECT will be available in March, 1993.
Deadline to get your BBS advertised in the premier issue of CONNECT is
January 31, 1993.

Issue after issue, CONNECT shows you how to get the most from the
commercial online services you're using -- CompuServe, Delphi, America
Online, Prodigy, GEnie and BIX. With columnists on staff to cover these
services in depth, you'll find CONNECT a valuable resource.

But CONNECT doesn't stop there. BBS callers also receive a wealth of
information from each issue. All varieties of computer platforms are
covered in the pages of CONNECT, as are the many different types of
bulletin board software and services found on these computers. Articles
spotlighting BBSes in specific cities or similar categories (such as
medical BBSes or handicapped-related systems) appear regularly.

Signing up your BBS is very simple and inexpensive. CONNECT offers a
choice of a one-line entry or a service ad, giving you blocks of 280
characters, to promote your BBS. 

For more information, and a copy of the BBS advertising form, please
contact Patricia Snyder-Rayl at 3487 Braeburn Circle, Ann Arbor, MI
48108, phone 313-973-8825, or via CIS (70007,4640), Delphi and GEnie

Arthur,

Compact Pro is the program I use the most. It is available from sumex I
believe, if not from wuarchive.

.hqx files have been 'bin-hexed' with a program that converts between 7- and
8-bit words (I think I have that right). I originally used BinHex to unconvert
.hqx files, but more often than not they were corrupted. Compact Pro has a
Convert From BinHex option that works on a lot of the files BinHex failed on.

BTW: If you don't have it, grab Z-Term. It is the best comm. program I have 
seen, and it's even shareware. IT has z modem as well (chances are, you'll
have to grab the source for zmodem for your Unix machine from a site. Many 
Unix machines only have Kermit available). 

Hope this helps!

There's UUPC 3.0, from Dave Platt, dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us.

But that's just UUCP (with perhaps a very bare-bones mailer).  Dave Platt
also has a shareware mailer (fernmail) that works with UUPC.  And my own
mailer, Eudora, also works with UUPC (ftp.qualcomm.com, mac/eudora/beta
subdirectory); Eudora is free.

I've heard of some newsreaders, but to my knowledge they're all still being
tested.

 It's  cheaper  than  PortShare  Pro and can be compared with PortShare
 Lite (SRP $79 in USA). It's a rather nice product, but I have to avoid
 real comparison here - let some third party to do it.

 The   only   thing   I   HAVE   to  say  -  in  the  original  posting
 ARA-compatibility  was requested. As far as I know, only PortShare Pro
 cooperates  with  ARA.  But may be we missed the new releases of Hayes
 Connect and other products.
 And, of course, PortShare Pro is compatible with LineShare, so you can
 use  the single line for receiving incoming Fax, ARA/BBS/QuickMail etc
 calls and share the same line with network users.

 I  don't  know  about competitors product, but we met the problem with
 FaxSTF, for example: inspite of the fact that FaxSTF releases the port
 when  a communication program tries to open it, the port is opened all
 the  time  FaxSTF  is waiting for incoming calls. So PortShare rejects
 all network requests, because it thinks that the port is busy.

 It does not happen with ARA: Apple used a rather complicated technique
 for  "soft  monitoring",  and  PortShare  Pro (but not PortShare Lite)
 knows  about that technique and uses it to check if the port is really
 busy, or it is just used for receiving incoming calls.
 But  we don't know any other software that uses this technique, so the
 problem  exists  with  all non-ARA servers listening to the line: fax,
 mail servers, BBS, etc.

 This  problem  is solved with the LineShare software, which implements
 the  technique  similiar  to  that  used  in  ARA,  but implemented in
 a  different  way:  instead  of  tricks  with a serial port, LineShare
 provides  each  server  with  its own "virtual" port. At the same time
 the "real port" remains visible and can be:
 a) used with comm programs like terminal emulators
 b) made  shared  with   software  like  PortShare Pro  (and maybe with
    competitors products).

 Hope this information helps.

 Note: Yes, I do work for Stalker.

A demo of this new e-mail software, is now available from sumex-aim
(in demo/snapmail.hqx), and other archive sites for ftp downloading
and will show up in comp.binaries.mac fairly soon.

It is indeed a peer-to-peer based system, but it also implements an
innovative distributed server model provides server capabilities to
allow for sending mail between computers that are never on at the same
time.  Installation is very simple and maintenance is practically not
necessary.  Features include, forwarding, replying, conferencing,
custom groups, forms, password security, file enclosures, customizable
notification icons, and more.

I got a replacement for a defective Zoom FX 9624,
and have problems with the Fax part.
When trying to send a fax, I get a "Fax Transmission Error"
message before the modem even goes off hook and dials the number.

I suspect that they sent me the wrong model.
The case does not have any label;
all I foud is a serial number: 1602ZAMX3091.
The chip used is a Rockwell RC224ATL R6641-13.

From ATIn I get the following responses:

AT0	242
AT1	691
AT2	OK
AT3	AF-C2500-E0
AT4	ERROR
AT5	ERROR


I tried the AT+Fxxx commands, and most of them just return "ERROR":

AT+FMFR?	ERROR
AT+FMDL?	ERROR
AT+FCLASS=?	0,1 OK


Does anybody know if this is indeed a Fax modem?
What else could be the problem?

Thanks a lot, and merry Christmas

P.S.: I'm trying to solve this problem through Zoom tech support;
	their first suggestion was to try a new version of the 
	software (QLII, v. 2.0.2), but it did not change.

I am not much of a Mac user.  Here are the specifics:

3.  Using System 6.
4.  Using an Imagewriter II.

II from the sun.

When I try to print from within MacKermit I'm told that
MacKermit is capturing the text however when I choose Print
Captured Text, the text scrolls by on the screen and doesn't
reach the printer.  I am able to print with the same type of
machine/printer/version of kermit etc using System 7 instead of
System 6.

Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.  Please e-mail me

   We're trying NCSA Telnet 2.5 on a Mac IIsi system 7 to a Sun 690MP with
SunOs 4.1 using Sun's SLIP software.  It works great with 2.3+slip (cisco)
with a hard line at 19200,N,8,1.   2.5 just sits there and the first window
locks the serial line from any subsequent windows we open.  the config file
is as follows:

   hardware=slip19200  # nth variation on 'slip' and 'serial'.

Which is similar to what we used with 2.3.

Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated!

Can anybody confirm this? I just bought one, and I have had some

It did work fine when I tried it with a PC.  However, the manual
says that it does take standard AT commands, and it sure seems to.
It definitely understands ATDT 555-1212, and it says that it is
v.32 bis.  If anyone has successfully used an Eagle modem from
