Originator: s3535@muser

I've had a look through various faqs but I can't find anything to help.
So, here's my question:

Does anyone know of any network utility which I could run on my Mac
(which is connected to the internet) which would enable me to initiate
various Mac commands, specifically shutdown? Something which works with
MacTCP or similar would be useful.

Ie, I want to be able to switch off my Mac without being there.

Post articles to me if there is an obvious reply; if others may be
interested then reply to the group.

In this situation, MacTCP *appears* to let you change the address, but
if you reboot after you've "changed" it, you'll notice that it's still
the same as it was originally.

Hi,

I installed CAP 6.0 on a sun3 in 'ethertalk' native mode, and I'd like to
mount my sun's volumes using a macIIci with System 7 (ethertalk 2).
There nothing else on the network, no routers.
I think the sun3 is OK, I compiled the enet driver and so on..
The mac say that I can't select any zone because there no router around.

I'd also like to know wich software I can run on the mac to uses it as
the gateway between the localtalk network and the ethernet.

Thanks,

(Followup-to: comp.sys.mac.comm)

I spoke with the EN/SC product manager at InterOp.  He told me that there
was a PROM change in units that were made after June or July.  The change
fixed a problem with hanging external disk drives on the SCSI chain along
with the EN/SC box (power light would go off, or in my case, the system
would hang some random time after it booted up).  You need to contact their
technical support group to arrange for a swap.

Installer 2.0 is the current version for the EN/SC box, V4.1 is a general
installation disk for their card products.

Does anybody besides me find the current distribution method 
for MacTCP to be truly absurd?

I really don't understand how ordinary users are supposed
to find out about APDA and the MacTCP Developers Kit.

I know that it is assumed that most MacTCP users will be 
covered by a site licence, but we still end up with a large
number of "How do I get it?" posts.

Is there any good reason why MacTCP is not offered as a 
standard shrink-wrapped Apple product? One that you can
walk into the local computer store and buy off the shelf
(or at least order)?

I certainly hope that Apple doesn't use the MacTCP distribution
model for some of its upcoming "system enabler" (AppleScript,
QuickDrawGX, etc) software...

A problem with the current gopher *protocol* is that it does not
provide for transmitting file sizes nor dates.  I've put in some
modifications to GopherApp and to the gopher server that I maintain
for doing these, but only a few other people have picked up on them.
If the archive gopher server doesn't send out file size/dates, you
cannot display nor sort on them.

All is not lost:  A new version of the gopher protocol (called 
gopher+) is in the works, which can include date/size transmission.
There will be new gopher client programs to take advantage of this.
At that time, sorting the listings might be possible.  I'll put
it on a list of things for gopherapp.  Check back sometime next
year...

Gee, and MacTCP 1.1 doesn't work with 7.1 either.  Is it me or does something
smell fishy here?  Is Apple's new policy to break all applications on
every .1 system software upgrade?  

Didn't they used to brag that they were so good and keeping compatibility
between system revisions?

This should be truly embarrassing to Apple!  To have their own software
break due to a .1 software upgrade!  Then to have enough gall to charge
upgrade prices!  SHAME ON YOU APPLE!

At the moment, I can't think of any major applications in the MSDOS world
that broke due to .1 upgrade, especially anything written by Microsoft
itself!

IBM's TCP/IP for OS/2 (version 1.2) has had at least 2 free upgrades since
it came out!  Some of it was bug fixes, and some of it was even new features!

I just read the MACWEEK article too.  Grumble, grumble.

Educational site licenses for $4000!  What I'm curious to know is this:

What is the rate that will be charged to developers who want to
distribute MacTCP with their products?  Why should our site pay for a
site license and also have to pay extra for commercial software for
something we already got?  Are developers going to strike out on their
own and build their own TCP stacks (which probably won't co-exist with
one another)?

And another thing: $59 for a single user copy - highway robbery!  I just
don't see $59 worth of value there.

Is there any way to keep a shared mac from being accessed outside a certain
domain?  What we've got here is a large campus ethernet.  Some Macs in this
department are on EtherTalk.  They are set with MacTCP to be a "member" of
this department.  We would like to be able to keep access relatively free
in this department, ie. allow guest logins and password-less owner logins
while at the same time denying persons from other departments access of any
kind.  If this is confusing, e-mail me and I'll try to explain further.

thx,

Here is a problem that just cropped up at our site. We have a lab that has
been upgraded from netware 2.15 to 3.11. The server is a 486 machine with
an ethernet card and an appleshare card installed. We have Mac's off the
ethernet (Zone Etalk) and IW printers on localtalk (Zone IWPrinter)
connected to ethernet by liaison. We have two Mac's off the appleshare card
each with dedicated laser printers (Zone Laser). 

Our problem is, the Mac's on ethernet can see the laser printers. This was
not a problem on 2.15. Is there a way the server can stop the broadcasting
of the laser printer zone?

Thanks.

No, he means that tools should not be priced as toys, with hardware
sales or the producing company subsuidizing the cost of their

Howdy, All!

I've recently downloaded a pretty good BBS program called MUBBS
(multi-user BBS). The program is designed to be completely
configurable for the Sysop. The authors do this by allowing the Sysop
to install modules using ResEdit. The system is freeware and version
1.1 is available at archive.umich.edu . 

However, the issue of expanding the system seems to fall on the
shoulders of those who know how to program in C. I don't know how to
do this. After downloading the text of several conferences about the
system from the MUBBS Support BBS in Santa Barbara, Calif.(and paying
monster LD bills), I understand that there might be support modules
available on America Online. There are also some available on the
support BBS, but they are too large to download while calling Long
Distance.

I'm wondering if there is someone in California who could call the
MUBBS Support BBS (805-259-6407) and post the modules to sumex-aim or
some other archive. The documentation included with MUBBS (along with
the messages I read in the conference archives) gives the impression
that the authors want as wide a distribution as possible. The BBS is
free, it is quite well written, and I believe that it deserves
support.

My only affiliation with MUBBS or its authors is that of a satisfied
user.
