Kermit is SLOW!
According to my sources, kermit maps all of the 256 possible charcter combinations
into the 32-126 range. This adds extra data bytes to the packet, so the net speed
is less. In addition, I beleive that Kermit requires an acknowledgement of correct
receipt of packet. So, even if there aren't any errors, data still has to be sent
back to the mainframe. This also causes problems, because most high-speed modems
are half-duplex, so they can fit more info per transition. So, your computer has
to wait until the mainframe has given up the line, for your computer to say: "Hey!
I have an error!"
Suggestion: use Xmodem, my speed has doubled when I use it. Ymodem, and Zmodem
especially, are even faster. You'll see improvement greatly. Your mainframe may
already have these protocols; they are often called rx or rz (for Receive Xmodem
or Zmodem) and sx, sz. I beleive they are public, so you may be able to find them
somewhere. Your communication package ought to have Xmodem, maybe Zmodem.

The Journalism Department at Ball State University is getting ready to 
purchase an entire new lab, and we have a few questions...

The choice is between Mac IIci's and Mac IIsi's.  Both with 5MB RAM, and they
will have the high-res screen.  Here is my question:

We can get the IIsi's, with an added FPU, for about half of the cost of the 
IIci's.  What is the performance difference between these setups?

I've read the the IIci is 45% faster than the IIsi (without the FPU).  How
about with the FPU?

Please respond soon, as we will put in the purchase orders shortly.

  This is a pretty liberal paraphrase.  OCE, GX, and AppleScript have
nothing
to do with 7.1, aside from the fact that they all use 7.1 as the base
system.
Other than that, they're all seperate products.

Subject: Which is less buggy, 6.0.7 or 6.0.8?
Organization: University of Missouri
Date: 30 Jul 92 19:41:28 GMT

I need to upgrade a network of about 40 Mac SE users to sys7 lw printer drivers.
I've heard that 6.0.8 is basically 6.0.7 with sys-7 print drivers, but
I know of at least one program I use which works fine under 6.0.7 but bombs
in 6.0.8.  So the question is, should I upgrade everyone to 6.0.8, or would
I be better off using 6.0.7 with the 6.0.8 lw print driver?
Any suggestions?

Hi!
  About a week ago, I was trying a game I'd gotten via ftp.  The game crashed,
and since then, I get error -127 whenever I try to move a file on my hard drive.
Occasionally nothing will happen other than the error message, sometimes the file
is copied to the new location but not removed from the old and sometime, and this
is my favorite, the error message will come up, and the shortly after dismissing
it, the file is moved anyway!
  I've tried Virus Detective and Disinfectant 2.9 and neither show a virus, so I
assume the hd is trashed.  Can I save it without of reformatting?
  Also, some of my files have disappeared.  Is this from the hd crash, or is it
the famous "disappearing file feature" that comes free with every sys 7.0?
  I'm running a Mac+ with 4 meg mem and sys 7.0 tuned with 1.1.1.  My hd is a
brand spanking new CMS 45 meg.

  Tnx for replies, and sorry if this is FAQ.

Because not everyone needs 1.2G of storage.  Just as not everyone needs
_Inside Macintosh_.  However, those who do find the resulting increase in
storage capacity/information availability to be much larger, proportionally,
than the increase in cost.

I think this thread is entering the terminal stage.  :-)

WinNt comes up, IBM will immediately say how OS2 does all WinNT does for

OK, so explain why the Guiness Book of Records lists the world typewriter

that, coupled with the design of QWERTY specifically to slow typesetting

I find very few apps arent 32bit friendly, in fact the only app i
use every once and a while that doesnt like 32bit is system 6  :)
If im not mistaken though, some apps actually run better in 32 bit
mode than in 24... (better= faster) as for apple requiring 32bit
clean for compatiblity, they already have, and in the future
i was under the impression that machine will only be able to run
in 32bit mode.

I was having this problem with what seemed like lost key-up and mouse-up
events, too (i.e., the keys themselves clearly don't stick down, but the
Mac behaves as if they have).  Last week I had my keyboard replaced with
one of the new-style mac keyboards (Apple Keyboard II, the small-footprint
keyboard with the short-travel power-on key), and I've had no problems
since.

Do all you folks having mouse problems have your mice plugged into the
keyboard?  As an experiment, try plugging it into the system unit and see
if the problem goes away (of course, maybe it's some kind of ADB contention
problem with the keyboard and it won't matter where it's plugged in).

again?

I expect the answer is no, but I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

Yes, yes, yes! First you tell us the rpice for the hardware is so high
because the system software is SO GOOD. Now, after releasing a System
Version that was $100 to buy and had bad bugs in essential parts like the
file system and banging us with lots of Tune-Ups which were
'Bug-Corrects' really, you start splitting the system into tiny little
parts and selling them to us for even higher prices!

Listen, I won't take this much longer! Do go on with PowerPC, Pink and
others! Become cross-platform because then many of us will start
switching to a cheaper platform. You ARE good, but you are not the only
computer factory in the world. QuickDraw GX has been necessary for YEARS
now. People have been yelling for AppleScript since the Mac exists. So
include them into the system and give them for free.

I as a mac maniac, -lover and -programmer, I want to be able to say one
day 'ok, current system version is 9.0. If you want to run this program,
you need version 7.1 at least, to have QuickDraw GX'. Why do you make
life for us programmers so difficult by not providing such an essential
functionality as a drawing environment to EVERY user.

If you want some money for OCE - ok. Not everyone needs OCE. But don't
take these huge sums you want for QuickTime and ARA. QuickTime Starter
Kit is 390 franks over here, which is some $280 for a STARTER kit. And
who wants a CD with a starter kit? Who's got a CD drive anyway? Maybe you
over in USA, but prices in europe are still much too high for the average
user! The difference between buying a mac in USA or Europe can be as high
as 100%! I'm not talking localized versions here; I'm talking USA-Macs!

Please forgive me for yelling at you, but I'm getting more and more
frustrated. Tell your bosses that they become more and more like IBM. The
only thing (yet) missing are the clones. And if they go on like this I'll
be the first one to buy a clone. Up to now I told everyone who said 'Macs
are much too expensive': 'Yes, but the software is SO cheap'. I'll stop
that for the moment. Peripherals are still within an acceptable price
range, but CPUs and (system) software is getting far beyond the borders.

So - now I'm relieved and lost at least SOME of my aggressions... ok now
go to work and repackage that system 7.1 :-))) And have a nice day.

Oops! I forgot about that part...

It's an Apple EtherTalk NB Card. When I ran the Network Software
Installer, "Easy Install" wanted to install something called "EtherTalk
for EtherTalk NB Card." Here's the info that the installer script
provides for this package:

   EtherTalk for EtherTalk NB Card
        Size: 36K
        Date: Mon, Mar 16, 1992
     Version: 6.0.1

   This installs EtherTalk Phase 2 (version 2.3.1) and the
   Ethernet driver for the EtherTalk NB Card. If you are
   installing on System 6, be sure to install AppleTalk version
   57.0.4 as well.

"Easy Install" also wanted to upgrade AppleTalk to v57.0.4 (presumably
the System 7 flavor), so I let it. This is the configuration I'm
currently running (still no 32-bit addr.).

Thanks Mark!
