Not at all.  It's brute force-- Apple put the TuneUp INIT directly
into the system file.

I have a DoveFax+, and it works great.  It answers the phone, takes
a message, allows the user to identify him/herself to get a personal
greeting from you.  If the caller is an auto-send fax, the fax will
be received.  Manual fax senders can press a couple of buttons to
start receive mode.  The DoveFax without voice is available as a board,
but I don't know if the 'plus' does.

  Strange, i thought the LC and the LCII had almost the same performance
(MacUser Benchmarks). After all, the LCII has only one advantage, the 
ability of using VM, which is (IMHO) not that interesting for a slow machine.
Despite the fact it has a 68030 inside it, the Data bus is only 16 bits wide,
so the CPU should be as fast (or as slow :-)) as a 68020, given they have
the same instruction set (if i remember correctly, 68030 = 68020 + MMU + 32
bits data bus, and the assembly manual i had about the 680x0 family didn't
distinguish between the instruction sets). Could you please give the
configuration of these machines ?.

There was talk before, I believe in this conference, about an Inside Macintosh
hypercard stack, but there as some disagreement over exactly what it was
called, and where it could be found.  I did an Archie search for it, and found
many many programs, mainly split into two groups, some were called simply
inside-mac, and some were called spinside-mac.  Some only had these as titles,
and some had a 'part 6'  or a 'seg 2' or something like that appended to the
end.  Some were compressed, some uncompressed. Some of them even had the exact
same name, but were different sizes.  Does anyone know exactly what is what,
and which file(s) I want to retrieve?

I have noticed a conflict between the WP 5.1 translator in Word 5 and
the ~Access PC mounting utility. Both companies blame each other and
refuse to admit that their software is responsible.
If you are opening the file off a DOS diskette using Access PC consider
moving it to a Mac diskette or hard disk before trying again.

Another solution is to buy MacLinkPlus 7.0 and use the Word translators
that they provide. They seem more reliable in some cases.

Hi,  I'm a PC person trying to help a Powerbook (160) owner here
get connected via her interal fax/modem.  The only communications
software we've got so far is TCP-Connect, and that is not at all
satisfactory.  (Pulldown menu needed to to send a Break [which
then leaves you in the modem's command mode!], no dialing
directory, little things like that.)

So, I was wondering, what are some recommended choices for
shareware/freeware along the lines of a modem-oriented terminal
package.  (I recall something called Red Ryder from way back,
also MacTerminal, and there's bound to be a Kermit...)  If I were

Qmodem.

Pointers to an ftp site or email-response server would be great;

From what I understand, the x-rays themselves don't do anything. It's 
the magnets in the conveyor belt motors that can screw up your disks. 
So, lead bags wouldn't do anything.

I have run bare hard drives through the machines without problems

Is it possible for two Macs to share a Personal Laserwriter LS?
The two Macs will be networked using AppleTalk.  The two
solutions given by the local Apple Centre were:

1/. Buy two printer cables and interchange them.

2/. Copy the files to the connected printer and print them
manually from there.

Neither of these solutions are acceptable.  Does anyone have a
better solution?  Is there a way to set up a folder on the connected
Mac such that any file dropped in this folder is automatically printed.  
Better still, an application resident on the foreign Mac,
such that any file dropped on the application icon is dumped to the
printer.

The '030 has a data cache (huge one, 256 bytes ;-) which the '020 lacks.

I don't know why you added that last "+ 32", the '020 IS 32 bit. The
'020 and '030 can be run on 8, 16 or 32 bit wide buses, there is no
need for a different chip like the 386SX to run it on 16 bit buses.
The bus width is determined on a cycle by cycle basis, very neat!

The '30 = '020 + data cache + PMMU (stripped 68851) + synchronous
burst mode bus - module abstraction (CALLM, RTM). I think the
coprocessor interface was beefed up also so that CPU and coproc
instructions can run concurrently. This is the main difference
betweeen the 68881 and 68882 FPU:s.

No doubt will I stand corrected if I'm wrong ;-)

I dispute this finding.  I had an NTX w/ 5M and replaced it with a IIg w/
8M and found that printing times dropped significantly.  The drop was less
pronounced on bitmaps, although the printouts were vastly improved.

The thing that really sped things up was replacing AppleTalk with Ethernet.
 This resulted in a five times improvement in some printouts and made a lot
of Postscript transfers almost instantaneous.

I found that I used to avoid putting scanned pictures in my letters because
to make them small enough to be unobtrusive also made them murky.  Now I
think nothing of tossing in a few 24 bit PICTs because they print so fast
and clearly. It's heavenly.

I'll never go back to the NTX!
