I wonder if anyone outhere can hel me. I am running a network of Macs with both
system 6.0.8 and some (IIsi, PB170,ClassicII) system 7.0 machines. Before we
got the system 7.0 machines we used to have a program TOPS installed, and just
before we bought the 7.0 machines we also used InBox 3.0 to comunicate over
AppleTalk. InBox is also manufactured by TOPS( Sun Microsystems I think?).
InBox does not want to work with system 7.0. Does anybody know an e-mail, ftp
address for Sun Microsystems (if they are still responsible for TOPS products)
or an upgrade for Inbox that will work with system 7.0. Any help will be
appreciatted.

Bob has an awfully good point. I've used uAccess once or twice. It's
a very nice, full-featured implementation. It's also very expensive.

I'd rather spend $700 and be able to run full-blown unix _and_ my existing
software than spend $400 just for uucp connectivity. Sure, there are other
factors: unix requires a bigger disk, more RAM, a fast CPU, etc. I suspect
that even at twice the price, A/UX or MachTen provides more than twice
the functionality of uAccess.

IMHO. IMHO. IMHO.

Hi there,

I'm the proud new owner of a SupraFAXModem v.32bis, and wonder why I'm
getting such poor performance with zmodem transfers. I'm getting
efficiency rates of around 10-20%.. Perhaps a simple setting I'm
missing?

I'm using Zterm 0.9, on a Mac IIsi, with the modem mentioned above.
The connections are reliably connecting at 57,600 baud (14.4 with
compression). 

Thanks, in advance..

I have gotten about a dozen replies via email, and a few people
have posted replies in one or more of the cross-posted groups
on the net.  So far, no solution.  This is unusual; most of the
time I get useful replies very quickly.  I guess even the wizards
are stumped by this one.  For one thing, it's not clear which end
has the problem--the MAC or the SGI.  EITHER END CAN TALK TO LOTS
OF MACHINES VIA TELNET.  It is something specific to two PAIRS of
machines.  Just now we have two MACS that cannot log in to our SGI
via telnet.  The rest of our MACS can log in to the sgi without
problems.  The MACS that cannot establish telnet sessions CAN REACH
THE SGI.  They can get files from the SGI with the ftp option of NCSA
Telnet; they can get time-of-day replies from the SGI with Network
Time; they can get replies to finger queries from the SGI.  The only
things they cannot do with the SGI are telnet and NFS/Share.  What's
more, these two MACS can telnet in to every other host I have tried.

Since so many things *work* I am convinced there is nothing
wrong with the physical network, nothing wrong with the tcp-
ip layers, nothing wrong with IP addresses, etc.  My guess
is something weird about the opening telnet protocol negotiation.

The only error message I get from the MAC side is "host not
responding" with the *correct* IP address for our SGI.  In
the SGI SYSLOG file is a message "ttloop: connection reset
by peer."  I have checked the arp table of the SGI; it
is correct (arp -a gives correct Ethernet and IP addresses
for all of our MACs).

Again, let me emphasize that everything works *except*
for telnet and NFS between certain pairs of machines.  All
other services work for *that* pair, and each machine
can connect to other machines with the exact same services
that fail in this case.  The problem typically appears at
a random time, then goes away after a few days.  A few weeks
later it reappears.  *NOTHING* about TCP/IP/TELNET/ETHERNET
configurations has been modified in between these episodes.
Nor has our SGI crashed lately.  The last SGI crash was caused
by an Ethernet cable fault a few months ago that locked-up
our entire net; after fixing the cable I had a fun time restarting
all the unhappy machines.  The problem I now describe was
happening before this fault at sporadic times; in any case
our network hardware now is working perfectly.

I emphasize this because I have gotten so many replies about
such things as IP addresses and Ethernet cable faults--
the problem is at a higher level in the protocols than
those things.

PS: AppleTalk stuff has never been affected by this glitch.

OK, now I know this isn't the same situation that you have, but her is how
I have a similar link set up. We have an old Model-T GatorBox as a router
for our labs AppleTalk net with a few machines on Ethernet running
EtherTalk. One the machines on Ether has a Supra V32.bis modem running ARA.
So to get my IP address I use the Remote Only selection in MacTCP. Kinda
stupid and kinda slow, but the guys who service our Datability Server say
they can't help us with dynamic PPP???? So name service is kinda funky
occasionally and Apple has there own built in "wonderful" compression"
scheme which means that the link never gets up to 57,600, but I get AUFS
Icons on my Desktop!!!

Good Luck,

Howdy-ho!  

I need some help, and this seems to be the best place to get it.  I would
appreciate it if you could answer some questions for me.  I have a Mac LC2 with
a Zoom 2400/9600 fax modem.  I'm just getting started in this whole
communication thing, and I'm getting pretty lost.

I'm stuck up here in IBM land, so no one knows what I'm talking about with my
Mac.  I have Clarisworks and Quick Link 2 for application programs.  Here are
some basic questions:

1.  How do I download a file?  I thought that I could use the capture data
function on my CW, but that didn't get all of what I wanted it to (I was trying
to get all the names of the groups for this, so that I could read through them
at my leisure.  I only got the last screen for some reason.)
I know that data capture is different from downloading a file, but I don't
really know what the difference is.  Which leads me to my next question.....

2.  Is there some place I can get shareware and public domain software for the
Mac?  How do I find them?  How do I get access to them?

3.  What do the following abbreviations mean?

        UUCP  (or is it UUPC?)
        NNTP
        MacTCP
        FAQ
  (it's really hard to understand the postings on this group when you can't
decipher the acronyms!)

4.  I've been told that I need Z modem.  My QL2 and CW both have xmodem.  What    
is the difference?  Is one better than the other?

5.  (thanks for reading this far.... :)  )   Do you have any other basics that
you think I should know?  I mainly use the communication stuff for ... well...
communicating with other users, like this.  I don't know how to transfer files
yet, so maybe once I learn, I'll do that more.

It would probably be easier if you email to me, rather than post.  

Thanks in advance for any and all knowledge!  (I would appreciate answers to
any or all questions)

Subject: Mac Plus hits appleshare server limit when telnet'ing!  Explanation??
Summary: no idle speculation please.  I'm addressing gurus here
Keywords: explain KIP and its relationship to appleshare
Date: 28 Jan 93 14:37:39 GMT
Organization: working on it


I've spent several days tracking down a strange interation between 2 seemingly
independant network activities (appleshare and telnet/KIP) :


A Mac Plus was having difficulty telnet'ing through a FastPath using NCSA
Telnet 2.5 with built in drivers.  Usually there'd be the "gateway not
responding" alert, or the connection would come up but the session would
hang before any characters would be transmitted.

We checked everything, swapped everything, replaced software, and so on.
Finally I narrowed it down to Responder.  This was surprising!  Why should
this machine telnet fine without Responder but fail with it?!  Especially
since dozens of other machines with the same configuration worked fine.
A little while later we realized another oddity: the problem was related to
the number of appleshare servers mounted.
It happened that during our testing Appleshare was automounting 2 or 3
servers normally.  This was where our problem was coming from.


So here's the diagnosis:

When a Mac Plus has volumes from 3 appleshare servers mounted it can't telnet.
Responder counts as 1 server.


I'm aware that a Mac Plus has the 3 appleshare server limit.  But what
does this have to do with telnet?!  And why does Responder affect
the limit when telnet'ing?  (It doesn't affect the usual server limit.)

Thanks to the guru who explains this one...

(For bonus points list the server limits for each member of the Mac family.)

HayesConnect can. It allows you to share a serial device over an AppleTalik

Organization: Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton,  OR.

Perhaps someone familiar with VT100 emulation could help me solve a problem.

I've written a Terminal Emulation program for my Mac that emulates all the
VT100 termcap capabilites listed in the Unix termcap file for various VT100
type terminals.  Everything works quite well when using the vi editor and I've
used this emulator for years.  Recently I tried using this emulator to 
access a PROFS system.  After typing in VT100 as the terminal type I get
command sequences from this system that totally mess up my "VT100" emulator.
It appears that there are some alternate sequences the emulator must handle
that it never ran into under Unix.  When I tried a commercial VT100 emulator
it worked fine.  The command sequences are listed below.  Does anyone know
what these sequences are supposed to cause the VT100 to do?  Are they part
of some alternate VT100 capabilies set that I simply never knew about?
Does anyone have a source for an official VT100 command set?  As I said
I just emulated everything listed in the typical Unix termcap file.

Any help from someone knowledgeable would be greatly appreciated.

These are the commands in the order received.  Some simple text between
commands is omitted.  ^[ is an ESC character of course. The "l" is a lower
case "L".

^[[?3l  =  ??
