	Boy, I shudder that this thought.  At least you've got an 'E',
so you've got HFS built in... otherwise, you would have to run HD20
as well to get HFS, which would eat up *more* RAM in an already strapped
machine.

	As for running AppleShare, well, I'm not sure of the System in
which it first shipped.  I would guest system 4.1 finder 5.5.  I you
can get your hands on that system with AppleShare then you can try
something, but believe me (from experience) a FatMac running 4.1/5.5
is not going to have the kind of memory left over that you would like.
Any versions of the system later than that and memory becomes a *real*
issue (although for small word processing jobs it may be adequate).

	Consider selling the ROMs in that 512E.  About a year ago one
could get $150 for the pair; today's prices I'm not sure about.

	Jim

Stay away from it. SingleShare was never really finished. The last version
I tried (last version made I think) was not reliable. Apparently, the
author stopped working on it because Apple introduced file sharing in
System 7. I'd suggest switching your better machines to System 7 and
running the System 6 machines as Appleshare clients only (why anyone would
want a Plus or SE to be a server is beyond me).

Better yet, buy DataClub from Novell. It implements a "virtual server".
Beats the hell out of System 7 file sharing (much cleaner and simpler for
the users).

We are currently trying to connect up a PowerBook 170 with a Global Village 
Power Port 9600 to a IIci using a Prometheus ProModem Ultima.  We are using
Farallon PhoneNET Liaison 3.0.3.  We currently have this working just fine
as long as we use land lines.  What we really want to do is get this going 
over a cellular connection.  When we call our IIci it connects but fails during
handshake returning the error message "No Response from ..."  

We have extended DTR delay to its maximum but that does not help.  We have 
a shop here that has the same setup hardware-wise that works using Appletalk
Remote.  We have used their phone with our setup but it still did not work 
which leads us to believe that it is not a cellular service problem.

Anybody got this kind of combination working or have any more suggestions?

We are trying to set up a simple dial-in to our VAX cluster using three

turn off all error correction and compression on the receiving modems to
work with any other 9600 modem (Zooms and Hayes). Essentially, that makes
everything run at 2400 bps...which for the most part works, but is not

When I saw it a year ago, it was called "Rosebud" (referring to the reporter
who spent all movie trying to find out what that word meant). My
understanding is that it is now called "Reporter". It is essentially a
user-friendly front-end to WAIS. It is intended to search through various
styles of databases looking for things of interest to you. When I saw it, 
it certainly included the ability to search through Usenet news, including
things like Clarinet News feeds. The following is a summary I wrote for a
manual I'm trying to write for our campus on using the Internet. Note that
this is based on what they told me a year ago they were working on; it is
NOT based on any knowledge of current test versions.

Reporter (for the Macintosh) is expected to be released by Apple in late
1992 or early 1993. Reporter is a WAIS-based product that knows how to go
through full text articles and convert them to WAIS style indexes. You can
either do a one-time search through a collection of on-line documents (e.g.,
a student doing a research project), or ask Reporter to continually cover a
particular "beat", e.g. to report to you anything that comes up in that
area. For example, imagine that I have a full internet news feed, access to
Claris.news (purchased electronic version of the UPI newswire), and an
electronic subsription to the New York Times. If I asked Reporter to keep me
informed about "Macintosh viruses", then every morning it would go through
all of those sources looking for any articles that contained both the word
"Macintosh" and the word "virus" in the article, and then collect those
articles, together with those from Reporters I've assigned to other "beats",
into a personal morning newspaper. As with WAIS, articles in this
"newspaper" will be ordered according to the number of matches and the
distance between multiple words for those types of searches. As with WAIS,
Reporter includes "relevance feedback", so you can tell Reporter which
articles you find interesting and which are less interesting, and it will
attempt to use those preferences for future editions of your personal
newspaper.

I am testing a Supra FAX v.32bis modem on my IIsi and am having
problems with hardware flow control.  The problem shows up when
sending files from the Mac using ZTerm 0.90 and zmodem with a
DTE rate of 57600 (i.e. ZTerm is set to talk to the modem at
57600).  I get retries and crc errors that appear to be caused
by buffer over run.

My question is does this work for anyone out there?  I want to
eliminate the Mac or ZTerm as the problem source.  I have tried
calling multiple sites.

Here's my configuration.

Mac IIsi, Sys 7.0.1 tuneup.
Hardware flow control cable -- I have tried two of them and mapped the
   the pins.  Looks right.
Supra ROMS: v 1.0
The link connects at 14.4 with compression and error correction.

Thanks in advance.

Organization: Naff Green Shorts Dance Co.

How's this for a bit of lateral thinking?

In a month or two I won't have access to AppleTalk/AUFS and so on, and
hence won't be able to use that wonderful mail front-end, Eudora, for
email. Right now I'm resigning myself to using various weird BBS-like
services, and I'm putting together login scripts in MicroPhone II at
the moment.

Now maybe we'll have this LORAN thing available (and configurable by
folks like myself) so that I can use that for mail and news, but in
the meantime I was resigning myself to designing some kind of mail
front-end, folder traversal, and so on in the MicroPhone scripting
language. Then it hit me: Eudora has a perfectly good user interface
and filing scheme, and all my existing mail is stored under it
already, so why not just use Eudora for it? The networking facilities
are unimportant; Euroda can be just a filing system. All I have to do
now is write MicroPhone scripts to parse and process Eudora's IN and
OUT mailboxes. So I do my mail composition in Eudora, and then fire
off the MicroPhone script, which picks up the outgoing messages from
the OUT mailbox (and reads the Eudora Nicknames file as it goes),
fires them off, pulls in new mail, and appends it to Eudora's IN
mailbox.  All I have to do is figure out Eudora's file formats for
mailboxes and index files.

Sounds like a workable solution to me. What I need is a version of
Eudora which doesn't attempt any networking. (I suspect that
deinstalling MacTCP will work, but I haven't tried it.) Can anyone see
anything wrong with this picture? Perhaps more importantly, will Steve
Dorner object to my using his mail program just as a front end?

Nick.

I have been told that Novell servers, that run Phase 2, have separate localtalk
and ethernet connections, that don't route any data between these networks, must
create unique network numbers for themselves.


example: netware 3.xx has a localtalk card and localtalk network.  It also has an
ethernet card that is hooked upto a multizone network.  Currently, the ethernet
segment has only one zone on it and one network number.(appletalk is composed of
network, node, and socket portions in its addressing).  The network number is
644, but this netware server popped up with an address of 7261 and the
administrator has told me that it has to have its only unique network number. 
Now is this just BS, or is there a way to circumvent this and force it to be like
the rest of the network? Currently we have about two dozen fathpaths connected to 
our ethernet backbone.

This is incorrect.  The Hayes command set uses ATM0 to turn off the volume
and ATM1 to turn it on.  ATL1 is the softest volume, ATL2 is the middle 
volume, and ATL3 is the loudest.  These can be used in the initialization
string or as a standard AT command.  ATM2 and ATM3 deal with things like
whether you want to hear all the wonderful modem noise as it connects, etc.
I hope this clarifies and helps.

As regardes thick, thin, and twisted pair ethernet, the choice is
driven by the economics of of the local environment.  You probably
dont want thick.  Thinwire ethernet is easy to connect and doesn't
require a repeate as long as you have fewer then 30 nodes and can
hook the devices up as a "bus" topology
 
            mac======mac=====mac=====mac   OK
 
            mac======mac=|===mac

                         |
                        mac
 
To use 10baseT (twisted pair ethernet) with more than two nodes you
need a repeater (approx $600 for a real cheap one).  Distribution can
be via "long" external cables or through the phone system in your
building.  In the latter case you may have to do some rewiring.
A typical phone requires one pair.  10baseT requires two pair.  To
use existing wiring you must have at least three pair pulled to
each location.  The 10baseT jack should be an RJ-45  8 position jack,
but only two pair (4 wires) need be present.
 
There is a real question of the benefit to be derived from switching
from PhoneNet .2Mbps network to Ethernet 10Mpbs in such a small network.
I suspect that programs will launch (across Macs) several times faster,
but is it worth it?
 
As to the multiple router issue, that is perfectly legal.  It will
provide redundancy.  Again, in such a small network will you really
be able to measure any performance gain.
