Can someone please give me a short list of the best terminal 
emulators to use with MacTCP (I'm using MacSLIP on a 9600 baud
modem). I'ld like to have a reasonable terminal that is
somewhat customizable, like the one that comes with Zterm.

I have MacSLIP and MacTCP, eudora(mail), 
NewsWatcher(readnews), and Fetch(file transfer) and the local
facility of these packages is simply great. I hate having
to shut down MacSLIP just to start up a dedicated connection
via Kermit or Zterm in order to get a reasonable terminal
emulator (I've tried NCSA's BYU telnet2.5, and it hangs my machine
all the time, and besides the terminal seems to have very
little customization as far as fonts, screen sizes and colors go).

All help would be muchly appreciated. 

Thanks,

This has also started happenning to some of our System 7.0.1 Macs with MacTCP

A couple of months ago, there was some discussion of this.  Several

For the fastest possble text/ansi display possible on a Macintosh, make

Well, if anyone gets it into their head to program such a thing, how
about this:

A faceless background app that would watch for incoming calls and, when it
detects one, would send a standardized "This person is calling you" Apple
event 
to a list of programs that it maintains so that they could take action on
it.
It would optionally use the Notification Manager to let you know who is
calling you, even possibly cross-referencing it with a list of names and
phone numbers so as to report the caller by name. The Apple events could
be
used by individual programs to bring up the caller history in a database
or
something of the sort.

What you *can* do with a Mac using Appletalk (the protocol) on Locatalk 
(the medium) and Mac-TCP (the protocol) on Ethernet (the medium) is :

Run NCSA Telnet - click on FTP server box in 'Open' menu. Click on 
Macbinary option.
Go home.
Dial in to Vax/Unix box from Mac at home.
FTP to Mac in office. Transfer files.
Oops file I want is on Appleshare server.
Do a 'cd' to the Appleshare server. You'll probably need to put the name 
in quotes.
FTP file from Appleshare server to Vax.
Kermit file from Vax to home machine.
OR, you could run ARA on both home & office machines and dial in directly 
(if you have a modem)

Now the real neat thing would be to run MacSlip on your office machine and 
dial into it with SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol).

Needless to say - you can FTP directly to the Mac from any machine with an 
ethernet card running TCP, including a (dare I say it) PC.

There's probably more.

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a porject of connecting a LocalTalk -network to a
TokenRing. Connected to the TokenRing is an IBM-mainframe, and the
basic idea is to get access to that mainframe.

One solution to this seems to be Apple's SNA ps -card with SNA ps
Gateway -software. Additionally, each Mac supposed to access the
mainframe would run Gateway Client -software. If you have used this
kind of configuration, I'd like to hear your comments. And if you have
some alternative ways of doing this, I'd like to hear them, too.

You can post your comments to the News or e-mail me directly.

Thanks in advance!

If you are completely satisfied with the software, AS IT IS, go ahead. But 
don't depend on ANY future support, or other future rights mentioned in 
the liscense agreement. Recently, the dox have been changed to show more 
clearly that nothing can be taken for granted.

II) Use a credit card. You can have the CC company sue if you don't 
recieve.

Also, use 2.1.1. It *seems* to be stable, but I have not checked to see if 
the eternal downloads bug has been corrected. Try downloading files from 
ALL of the computer types you plan to cater to from your board.

To hear a *scathing* report on Hermes and it's author, call The Metropolis 
at 614-846-1911, and chat with the sysop.

In addition if you want to spend money there is InterPrint from InterCon, and 
I think that GatorPrint actually sends it via LPR.  I know that InterPrint 
works just fine with PostScript (though you mileage may vary depending on the 
printer you send it to), I am not sure about GatorPrint though I believe it 
does as well.  Hope that's a help.

Hi there.

I  normally do not  read theses  newsgroups, so I'd  be happy,  if you'd
respond  via email  (gemoe@proximus.north.de). I  will try  to summarize
then.

My  partner and me, we have to write  an application that connects a Mac
and  a NeXT.  We have  to use  a  fast and  reliable protocol,  probably
TCP/IP. (UDP is not reliable enough, Appletalk too slow and only local).

From  the NeXT  point of  view it's  Unix (Mach)  so it  shouldn't be  a
problem.  But the  Mac... I  know that  there exist  classes for  socket
programming. But sockets are sort of low level and not encouraged by the
OSI.  I would highly  prefer to use  remote procedure calls.  And that's
my question: 

Are there classes that support remote procedure calls (rpc) on a Macintosh??

	Thank you very much,
		Gerhard.

What else can be used for this?  For example, if you were dialing into an

10%-20% efficient rate is not an indication of poor performance.  The
efficiency rating is based on the theoretically maximum transfer rate of
57,600 baud.  You can sometimes achive this rate when transfering data that
respond extremely well to compression used in the modem.  If you are
transfering data that is already compressed such as in .sea or .sit format,
your modem can not do anymore compression on these file.  Therefore,
transfer rate for these files will be close to the "real" transfer rate of
14,400 baud if that is the "real" rate you are connected.

From my experience, I never got anything near the max transfer rate even
when transfering uncompressed data.  I use a 9600 baud connection with
compression.  When transfering compressed data, I usually get ~1000 cps.
When transfering uncompressed data, I usually get ~1400 - 1600 cps.  This
translate to some efficient rating depends on which max baud rate (19600,
38400, or 59600 baud) I set in the communication program.  Therefore,
instead of looking at the efficient rate, find out the charater per second
(cps) rate.
