| There is a MAC port of GNUUCP, and a (supposedly) good news reader called

There is uupc and FernMail, though the last version of FernMail I
received was mail only.  The author stated a STRONG desire to put news
into FernMail (FernNews? :-)  I recommend uupc over mac/gnuucp.

I use both, and am very happy with them - both work on my Apple Lisa II
with System 6.0.2 -- unlike those other slobs who insist on the
Communications Toolbox.

Mac/gnuucp also works on the Lisa; however, the Hypertalk reader that
comes with (?) mac/gnuucp does not work well on the Lisa, and has a
few problems in any case.

For those who want to know: I ocassionaly will link my Lisa to my
'386 and use a null modem connection between ruth.uucp (386) and
naomi.uucp (Lisa) with mac/gnuucp.  The '386 will log into the Lisa -
this way I can let the '386 run on auto-pilot and leave the Lisa up
for a connection on demand.  Neat stuff...

No, no, NO.  That way users get to pay in their phone bills for a silly
message instead of just getting a busy signal for free.  "Paying for it"
is also another reason to make the phone busy, some long-distance services
start billing after a certain time online instead of after someone has
answered the phone.

Being busy for a user may be OK but for an incoming uucp call its a
different story IMHO.

I prefer my uucp sites to appear "busy" if they aren't ready to connect to
me.   The reason is that my Waffle system will respond quickly to a busy
signal and I can get on with polling someone else.  If the site doesn't
answer, Waffle will sit there for 10+ rings waiting to time out.

This amounts to a "lot" of wasted time for a system that makes around
200 calls/day and has 20 other uucp sites to service (like mine).

Subject: Modem init string & compiling 1.65 with BC 2.0
Keywords: init, modem
Date: 23 Jan 93 16:03:09 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.

I'm running waffle 1.65 & have a maxann 9600bps modem.  I located a
free news feed this week(!) & can't get my machine to answer the phone
correctly at 2400 bps.  It's been working fine at 9600 although waffle
thinks everyone is calling at 300bps.  I haven't really cared about it
until now.

My init string was: AT H0 M0 S0=0 V1 E2 X0 &J0
I changed it to:  : AT H0 M0 S0=0 V1 E2 X1 &J0

Trying to get waffle to report the line speed.  I'm using "answer:
ata", have a fossil & have locked the port speed to 9600 (or so I
think). What happens no is that when I call I get a carrier, but
before the CONNECT, the line is dropped.  I'm not by the machine now &
can't call it back since it won't answer the phone. :-(

Any advice is appreciated.  The modem I use to call to check whether
the config works is 30 minutes away. . .

I've also had difficulty getting waffle to compile correctly with
Borland C 2.0.  It compiles fine, but the IO stuff is screwy.  It
appears that there's a problem with strings not being \0 terminated
correctly.  Any ideas?  I'd like to get it to compile so that I can
disable ALT-T on the 18 local nodes I'm running for middle schoolers.
So far, no one has realized that they can do that.  It won't solve all
my security problems, but it'd be a start.  THen I can see about
minimally encrypting the passwords. ..

Why not just set the d:/spool option to the ramdisk, and set the /outbox
option to a harddrive so it won't default to the ramdisk. There doesen't
appear to be a way to override the specfic /unbatch, where /unbatch would
be on the ramdisk and the /batch would be on more permanent media.
I imagine you'd want this kind of setup rather than chancing outgoing mail
to a ramdisk that could disappear.

Just in passing - I use a little program called "watchcat" which
co-exists happily with my fossil (X00).  Watchcat monitors both
CD and the RING signals from the modem, and if the phone rings
more than 20 times without the modem answering will assume that
the BBS is stuck, and will reboot!  This has saved me hassles on
a number of occasions :-)

That is all very primitiv. Nice would be if Tom would aloud an external
command to print mails. So we could include marging-set, heading, etc
like can be done with a shell pipe command (unix) like this:

print = /bin/pr -h "ELETRONIC MAIL PRINTOUT" -o10 -l72 %s \
	| /usr/bin/lp -dprinter

With DOS, similar solution would also be possible.

Hi;

(I really need to capture Rhys' email address next time he posts... :)

1 - If you use the "Add Address" option under the File menu, it does not
    check to see if the address is already in the list, and will make a
    second entry.

2 - If you are creating a reply that includes text from a message created
    by a linefeed only editor, the eof marks are not interpreted and the
    text looks like one long line with black squares at the line break
    points.

MAJOR BUG

3 - If you post to a moderated group the post is placed on disk! It is
    not forwarded to the moderator....

sure, why not ???
assuming you have no problem with people getting out to a shell to the OS
(possible security problem maybe).  

Certainly you can execute rmail at the shell level with a file piped to
it as input (actually 'redirected' to it would be more accurate).

there are LOTS of them depending on how big your phone budget is.
there's a periodic posting of waffle sites as I recall.

of course it can!  you can set up whatever point-to-point links you
want and they don't have to be on any network at all (but assuming you
want some connections to Internet/USENET and some not to be connected,
you want to think a little before you set up paths files, etc.).

>5.  Can Waffle do ftp?
>6.  Can Waffle be configured to do SLIP or Telnet?

depends on whether you mean can you access these programs or can they
use them as a transport mechanism.  You can set up almost anything as
an 'external' program accessible from within Waffle given enough memory
(usually only a constraint for DOS Waffle).

>7.  How many users can be accessing a node at a time?

unix ? lots.
dos ? a few maybe.

I'm sure Ralph will answer since halcyon.com is about that big but the
answer no doubt is different for DOS and unix Waffle.  For unix ?
I'd be suprised if it was 15 minutes a day unless there was lots of
user turnover and stuff like validation required.

If you have long distance callers, or long distance UUCP connections, this
is an expensive way to do it -- it'll cause a completed call to get no
