Actually, if one were to try the low-tech approach like you imagined, I
don't think it would be a problem.  For the lowest-tech test kit possible,
*all* of the pointing devices I use have a "click-lock" button on them.... 
And I suspect that one could take advantage of Easy Access to provide this
for all others....  I had originally been thinking that some of the other
ways to cause background file transfers to abort would be more
"programmable", but now I think maybe the mouse down in menu item *would*
be easily programmed.  And for people with trackballs like the ones I have,
a simple set of instructions would suffice....

I am sorry I ever followed up in this thread...!  I am sorry that I get so
much amusement over people (individuals) and companies battling about
products with exaggerations and misinformation....  I am very sorry that
Bill misinterpreted my original post as some sort of flame or ill will
towards him rather than a simple statement of amusement at the possibility
that Hayes could end up on the receiving end of an exaggerated negative ad
campaign if the MacIntercomm publishers chose to take this route....

I'm sorry if people thought I was just lashing out at Hayes for no reason
than that they are the "name brand" (i.e. visible target) and that they are
relatively litigious.  I was trying to explain that I am not really as
concerned about these sorts of things as many other people on the net seem
to be.  Like Bill I am turned of by senseless flaming of the big companies
and individuals on the net who are incorrectly perceived by others to be
their representatives (despite disclaimers).  (I don't think these big
companies should be immune from legitimate flaming though either.)  My post
wasn't intended as legitimate flaming of Hayes, but rather as some
good-natured fun-poking at Hayes.  And *none* of this was meant for Bill. 
I guess I didn't succeed in making my intents clear....

P.S.  Flames about *my* (alma mater and employer) are welcome!  ;-)

There is a bug in Eudora1.3b92 that will wipe out your configuration and

The bug was a wrong settings file version number.

Remove HALF the extensions and see what happens.  If everything is OK, then
add back in HALF of those that were left out.  Still OK?  Add back in HALF
of those that were left out, etc.
  
Did you use the Installer to install the File Sharing setup?  If you did
not - you should.  To be safe (even if you DID use the Installer), I wouldn't
hurt to run it again - installing the same software.

"...a large cast of Inits..." would cause me much more concern that one of 
the few OFFICIAL ones - released by Apple Computer.

If anyone has gotten VersaTerm SLIP to work with a U.S. Robotics Courier
V.32 bis modem, I would appreciate it if you could share your modem dip
switch settings and VersaTerm AdminSLIP modem initialization string with
me.  I have been trying to get SLIP working and I'm getting closer but
still no cigar.  I think it is a handshaking problem at this point.  I 
am pretty sure my cable is ok.  The most common problems I get are either:
login banner, then I type my username and hit return and my whole mac 
locks up 
-or-
get logged on and display about a screenful of data then it dies

Both of these seem like handshaking problems.  Any clues are appreciated.

I have ZyXCEL 1496E rom 4.13.

I have bad phone line and every now and then the modem seems to renegotiate
with other end. At the same time signal quality light is off. Sometimes
connection becomes back and sometimes modem loses the connection.

What are best settings for bad phone line?

Now I have CONNECT 19200/V.32 9600T/V42b. I think that AT*Qx would affect,
but which is best choice. AT*Q4 gives error even if it is described in

My experience proves this wrong - I can 'Talk' from a LocalTalk
connected Mac without a fixed IP address (but it *has* a name
assigned) to any un*x box (including Ultrix 4.2, with which someone
has reported problems). Even 'talkd' works fine (save for the problem

That are dynamically assigned addresses, the same machine gets a

install Ethertalk.) I've never run into trouble caused by this fact.

Will this MacTCP release server-acquired IP address when a program
that uses MacTCP service quits? MacTCP 1.1 doesn't seem to release an IP
address once NCSA Telnet or PopMail,etc. has run. This is a problem
since our site has ~30 Mac users mostly reading emails or telneting
with small # of IP addresses available through a GatorBox. It would be
of great help if IP addresses would be free once a user quits Telnet or
email program for others to use, without having to shut down the machines.

There are a couple of other commercial products than those mentioned. 
Avatar Corporation makes a full line (the fullest, includes TCP/IP) of
emulation software and hardware (including a front-ending product,
FrontCard).  Their product is called MacMainFrame. 1-800-Ava3270.  Apple
Computer makes a gateway product called SNA*ps, and DCA makes a Mac
version of their Irma products.  I'm a biased source, having written much
of the MacMainFrame application, but I think it has the most Mac-like
interface.  Apple's is second, Irma third.  But check them all out.

Subject: Help with modem dialing tones (Q)
Date: 7 Oct 92 20:25:05 GMT

The problem is quite simple to explain:
Using a Mac+ (Sys. 6.05) with Dovefax+ as a modem I could not get the modem
to dial pulse tone to connect with a BBS, this was solved by giving
(through Zterm) the following command: ATX0DP etc. The modem did not wait
for any tone and reached the BBS.
Using a Mac si (Sys. 7.0) the dialing was no problem even without the ATXO
command, maybe the line was better in that area.
So far so good, but the two Macs still share the same problem,in fact I
cannot dial from within DynodexDA 2.02 and Dynodex (the appl) 2.07.
Using the Dove modem it actually went into a cyclic redialing process, the
mouse and the screen froze, so I always had to restart the mac.
Using a Teleport full/fax, although I don't have to restart the Mac after
every attempt of using Dynodex, I still cannot make the modem dial the
phone number via Dynodex.
Global Village (Teleport) claimed that it should work OK (maybe in the
US!), Dove said it was a problem due to Dynodex not closing the port
correctly.
The Portfolio people (Dynodex) replied regarding Teleport usage saying that
according to their experience it worked OK, when I made the same request
for help regarding Dove & Dynodex they did not reply at all.

Am I wrong on assuming that this is due to the fact that, for some reasons
and for certain phones, the pulse tone is not recognized, although I
specified (in both modems' settings) not to detect dial tones, and
therefore I should install some sort of command in the ATDP for Dynodex
adding X0 as I did for the communication s/w?

Has any one a good idea on how to solve the problem (changing country of
residence wouldn't be the right answer)? Tech Support? Dynodex fans? Where
are you?

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

You might look at your handshaking settings.  I've had this happen here when
folks with hardware flow control call my BBS, which has NO flow control,
except what's in the protocol itself.  I find that when I enable xon/xoff
here, the problem goes away.  I'm not sure why, but only mention it to get you 
thinking along that path.

Here's a related question: It there any Mac comm software that
can use the fact that Macs have two serial ports.  All the comm
software I've seen (mostly PD and shareware stuff) requires that
you select one port or the other.  The application
I have in mind is to set the Mac up as a gateway box.
