If you write everything in ARexx, there's no particular problem making
particular sections common. The only thing I can think of to sync up
a bunch of scripts is to use traps. You'ld need three scripts in that
case, schematically as follows:

A:   trap add 42 install nothing (@C.scp; trap remove 42)
     @B.scp


B:   contains common stuff.
     trap cause 42

C:   contains special stuff, goes with A.


You run script A, which installs a trap (id 42), and then it runs the
common stuff, in B. B always "cause"s trap 42 at the end, which
then results in script C being run, and the trap to be removed.

A bit complicated, but it should work. Someday, I guess I should
build in a sync command of some sort. Oh well.

I plan to buy a highspeed modem for my amiga and need help from
wise people like you. I heard of two kinds of modem: those with
DSP (like ZyXEL) and those without. As the ZyXEL has a higher
price than e.g. the supra, I want to ask if its worth it or if
there are alternatives beside these two modems. It should have
a Fax option and work with GPFax.

Thanks, Raoul

the way the driver works, ANYTHING going out via the printer.device will
be captured.  ie: PRT: will work, PAR: wont.

Send TEXT/GRAHPICS to PRT: and you will be right since the GPFax installs
the GPFAX.DRIVER (printer driver) automatially as needed and when the
priter.device is opened, the driver is pulled in by the .device

To print with PageStream (or any other program), just tell it you
are using the PREFERENCES PRINTER

The authors of TERM for AmigaDOS 2.04 managed to get Blinking text in as
part of the terminal program with no problems. They also pulled off another
feat JR-Comm has yet to duplicate. TERM can handle 16 Color ANSI at 19.2
with no data loss. These are only two reasons I switched from JRComm to
TERM.

Hi I was looking through Term and I was wondering, can you have Term open its

Term to have its own screen.  VLT for instance does this if you choose the 
workbench option under screen.  Also you can't load your own fonts in it(term)
can  you?  Maybe I should modify it myself?  Thanks for any direction.

        You had vaxa mounted over the network, then something happened
	on the vax, either someone unmounted the disk that you had mounted
	as vaxa or the system was shutdown.  Now your amiga is confused
	about where the volume is, hence it calls it "stale".  It's easy

  You're not boosting your cps, if you used a stopwatch to verify the timing
you'd know this already.

  When you put an NTSC machine in PAL mode you have a system that thinks it's
clock tick is 50Hz when it is actually 60Hz.

  Of course, a little math verifies this as well.

  60/50 = 1.2
  234 * 1.2 = 280

Well; my modem seems fine -- same warmth level as my old 2400.

I have a suggestion for all those people suffering from the overheating
problem and do not intend to try and exchange their modem. Why not
simply "pop" off the back plastic cover? You can run fine without it,
and it won't be visable. If it's like the old supra, all you
have to do is "raise" the plastic tabs along the sides, and slide it off.
This will give you an opening for the air to escape from.

I know of at least two people working on .QWK format programs for DLG BBS
so you may end up being redundant writing for that particular BBS software.

  The next release now uses a Workbench compatible window and when in a custom
screen it has a two scan line drag gadget.

  But, you really should locate a utility that allows you to fip screens and
windows if you're not going to move up to 2.0.  QMouse has a good one.

  No, via PCPursuit you get $1/hr for 9600bps.  A lot of us don't have that
ability and the Telenet indial that I happen have is a $3/hr toll call for a
2400bps line.

  Also, it depends on what you're Amiga interests are.  If you're a developer,

Hello,

I'm interesting in setting up a PPP link between my home (ether)
network and ours at work.  I've set up PPP on a Sun w/out a prob, but
the amiga is a different story.

According to the (MS-DOS) docs there should be an "ether" device for
NOS, but this appears to be missing in the Amiga version.  Does
AmigaNOS support an ethernet interface?  If not it would be a shame.

If it doesn't, is there a PPP implementation for the Amiga?  I've
looked on all the archive sites and asked archie, but only came up
with an empty directory on wuarchive.

Thanks for the help,
Todd

concerning CI$'s fees, how does anyone afford it? $12/hour for
(yawn) 1200/2400 access. A whopping $22/hour for normal (v32)
access.

Assuming you do little else but get email, that's probably 
4 hours a month. 

Most people must get their company to pay for it.

  Dunno the number off-hand, but 1-800-555-1212 should be able to give you
their 800 number.

  The rates are something like $10/month, maybe a bit less, and offer much of
what GEnie offers for the basic package, email, shopping mall, daily news bytes
and some other things.  All the forums still get a hourly charge of $12.95 for
2400bps.

  No matter how bad some others make out the high cost of CIS over their 
cheaper systems, the one benefit you have is the ability to use automated
messaging programs like TapCIS for the PeeCee or Whap! for the Amiga.  Both
are supported online there and can really make for some economical messaging,
so long as you resist downloading and save that for a local BBS or new Fish
disk.

  Another plus, especially people like me who are not local to a Tymnet or
Telenet indial is the fact the CIS often has a local indial that doesn't add
another few dollars per hour to the connection.

So what? C-Net's past on the C-64 doesn't make it the oldest AMIGA BBS

BBS-PC was originally an IBM BBS program and I would be caught running that

Well, I can tell you that when I installed my 3C501 Ethernet board here
at work on my 386, there was NO driver that came with it.  They had a 
diagnostics disk though... Anyways, what do you do about COM 5-8?  They
aren't in the BIOS...

>support, plug & play, basically. It isn't quite that simple, but it isn't
>impossible to do either. -- ie, port jumper selection, IRQ, etc.
Ever get a serial card with a 16550 and try to use its FIFO with standard
software that doesn't know anything about it?
