You are incorrect.  57,600 exists between the modem and the computer, not 
between the two modems.  They are running 14,400 (currently) with 
compressions (v.42bis) which can up the _effective_ speed to 57,600.  The 
28,800 (currently called V.FAST, but soon to get an approved CCIT.. 
number) will require a computer to modem speed of up to 115,000 to get 
full throughput.

Greetings!

I can't figure out how to restrict access to certain newsgroups like the
alt.sex.* series.  I'd much prefer to get proof of legal age before letting a
user into some of those groups.  The problem comes in using WafMail.  If the
group shows up in the user's JOIN file, WafMail will give him access.  There
is a WafMail configuration (/qn=*no*) that will prevent access to ANYONE but
that is a poor solution since it defeats the purpose of getting the user off
line to read these lengthy groups.

I've tried /group=#, /read=#, and /post=# with no luck.  The group can still
appear in the JOIN file.  Heck, the user can even edit it up himself.

Am I stuck here?  Is there another QWK reader that can help?  Does it even
really matter?  :-)

I can
a) print it out and let the addressee come pick it up
b) if they have a high speed modem, downloading won't take too long
c) if it was a typed or computer-generated fax, I can run OCR software on it

Anyway, the BBS receiving FAXes is, at least right now, a convenience for me.
Doesn't have anything to do with anyone else.

You are incorrect in thinking that news is supposed to be single file.
I myself hope there are no plans in the works to change the current
configuration, with respect to the news spool.  I don't see it mentioned
in future.doc, so perhaps I'll get my wish.

Reply-To: king!frampton@vicuna.ocunix.on.ca (Steve Frampton)
Followup-To: poster
Organization: Kingston Rotary System, Kingston, ON (613) 546-3078

Hi everyone:

I have a question regarding PATHS setup.

I have a unique(?) situation where one of my neighbours, being an 
unregistered site, requires that mail be bounced through me (as a good 
example, this return address is king!frampton@vicuna.ocunix.on.ca).  No 
flames please(!!) as this is only a temporary situation and I expect it 
to be cleared up shortly.

ANYWAYS, in order to ensure that all return mail gets bounced through my 
system, the 'Reply-To' line changes the return address to 
'king!user@vicuna.ocunix.on.ca' instead of the 'From' address 
(user@king.dist7040.rotary.org).

This works *great* -- except for local mail!  Because the 'Reply-To' 
tells mailers to reply to the mail by bouncing it through Vicuna, 
whenever mail is sent locally, when that user replies to it it must first 
take the trek to Vicuna and then back again to King!

I've tried:

king!%s@vicuna.ocunix.on.ca  king!%s

in my PATHS file, but it didn't seem to work.  I think I'm on the right 
track, but not quite getting it.

Can someone please show me how this is accomplished?

Flames, Site-Registration-Suggestions, Write-A-Program-To-Do-It, etc. to 
dev_nul.  :-)

Please respond via e-mail, I will be happy to follow up with a summary.  
Thanks in advance.

I have the _editor set up exactly like that, and I can run it locally. But
if login through modem dialin, it just get locked with nothing show up (at

Thanks for the intro, Ralph!

Yep, BBStevie strikes again.  I've added FOSSIL support, so that
BBStevie can handle its own communications.  It's done with a
command-line switch, and it's smart enough to recognize a local login
and not hit the FOSSIL driver.  Thus, it's suitable for a 1.64 site
without worrying about remote vs. local logins.  I also threw in a
quickstart docfile and a vi reference.

Get bbstvi30.zip from a friendly halcyon near you, and soon from
SIMTEL20 and associated mirror sites.  Unixers might also check out
bbstvsrc.zip, now confirmed to compile under Ultrix, Dynix and SunOS 4,
as well as MS-DOS. (all the machines I have access to :)

Remember, the remote user _must_ be using vt100/102 emulation.  Straight
ANSI will not work properly.

     I've got Waffle/DOS 1.65, and have a feed who's modem sometimes
forgets to hang up (a Telebit for sure, T1000 I think). I can't send the
'+++'-ATH0 sequence, because his modem constantly is trying to initialize
itself. The result is that I cannot hang up, and if throws off my polling
schedule horridly. Luckily, its not a toll call, so its not a HUGELY big
deal, but I can see this becoming a proverbial thorn. Is there a way to
FORCE the modem to hang up? Does anyone have a util to do this, or is
there a way to tell UUCICO to discon the modem? Any information is

I may be confused, but I don't believe there is such a baud rate available
on a modem yet. You need to set your driver rate for 19,200 or 14,400 (MAX)
and with compression (setup by your AT string), THEN you get the SIMULATED
rate of 57,600 (compressed thru-put). 57,600K is merely a dream.. they're
just know working on 28,800K

No problem, Tom; I surely did speak out of turn.  BUT, it would be nice
to have some ideas as to what to expect.  How about it?  Perhaps a plan
for the Waffle 1.66 (or whatever) project; with design spec, functional
spec, feature release dates, beta test dates, the whole bit???  Or is
that more work than we'd like to COMMIT to for what for the majority
of us is surely "just for fun."  I don't suppose there's any concept of

and some of us would like to have some input in the direction of the tools
we are using, perhaps more than just in the form of suggestions.

I, too, have had this "problem" for the past few months, most of that
time using 1.64, and now (since earlier this week) using 1.65.  My feed
is from UUNET, and I honestly haven't found any errors or such in any of
our news articles.  This message shows up once or twice in an rnews
unbatching session, every 5 or 6 days.  In all cases, rnews wanted more
characters than it received (by 2 to 30 characters, typically).  I'm
using a 16-bit compressed feed, if that makes any difference.  Any
suggestions on what the cause may be?

I've noticed that users cannot download from their home directory unless they

keen on bestowing that to many people.

Therefore, my question is:  Have I set this up incorrectly, or is there no way 
for a user to download from his home directory.

At teh moment a user can create files in his home dir, can look at them, and can
go into the files section and Log to his home directory, but unless that user 
has sysop privileges any attempts to download a file are met with "You can't 
download from this directory" or words to that effect.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
