Hello,

     Memphis State University (memst.edu) is now reachable.  Power 
spikes downed all the equipment in the computer center, so the VAXcluster
had to reboot before the Proteon router could reload.  We do not expect
any other problems at this time, but we never know what Memphis Light
Gas & Water has coming next ;-).

I was listing to the morning show on WCSX (94.7).  The DJs, Chafin and
McBean (I hope I spelled their names right) indicated that they were
available via Compu$erve and America Online (and Prodigy -- ugh!).  I
was wondering if anyone knew, or could find out, what their addresses
are.  I know how to gateway stuff through compuserve.com and aol.com.

On a related note, is there some sort of mail server or other
mechanism that allows one not on C$/AOL to get someone's address,
given a name?  Yeah...  I could email to postmaster@compuserve.com and
possibly get some assistance, but I wouldn't want to disturb a human
being with silly address lookups.

That's what I thought too.  But I couldn't find it in the IIsi
or the System 7 reference manuals.  I do remember it being in
the old original Macintosh 128/512k manuals, but I can't find
those anymore.  Anyways, I did get the DIN-8 pinouts but
not the DB-9 ones yet.

Thanks.

Can anyone give me the specs of the Macintosh serial ports?
I need to make a cable and need to know which pin is CTS, RTS,
RD, SD, Ground, etc.  Both the DIN-8 and the DB-9 pinouts 
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David Hwang

I am trying to help out a new UUCP site that I'm feeding mail, because his
XENIX is (1) crashing and (2) nasty, so I've convinced him he should get
something nicer.  The main problem is his Intelliport 8-line serial cards,
does anyone have any experience getting these things up and running under
a reasonably nice UN*X?  Linux, BSD386, MACH, Solaris?
