I'm considering buying a Prometheus Ultima Home Office fax modem with:
- 14,400 bps (V.32bis) data modem that also supports V.42bis/MNP-5
- 9600 bps send and receive fax
- voice

If you have any experience with this model and wouldn't mind sharing your
opinion, I'd like to hear from you.

Thanks,

The PowerBook Tuner is "alpha" release software from Apple that is being
distributed with Global Village PowerPort Fax/Modems. The software can
be downloaded from Compuserve (in the MACSYS forum, I believe.)

Be aware that the entire 1.4MB disk image (compressed to 732K) has to be
downloaded to get the 5K PowerBook tuner.

It only needs to be dropped in the System Folder and installs in the
Extensions folder. It appears to fix most of the serial problems.

Anyone able to help with a Macros problem on Zterm. The program doesnt want to
use the (Option r) character required to send it off to look for a .zts file on
the disk. Currently Option r generates a tick character, although I have had
other chars on different Versions of Zterm and on different startup/ system
combinations. I am using an elderly 512e with Sys 6.0.2, stripped to the bare
bones to fit it onto an 800K floppy. Zterm is using Chicago font on the Macros
menu....am I seeing some font conflict or shortage?
 
Thanks for your thoughts
 
Curiouser and curiouser, I just went back to the Macros menu and the tick had
transformed itself into a ^R, still not the Option r "Registered" symbol.

Select a receive folder.  ZTerm just doesn't know where to send your

Organization: Communications Accessibles Montreal, QC CANADA

The subject says it all:  Has anyone used Up Your FCB's and increasing
the multfinder allocation to break the 346 FCB limit in AppleShare 3.0 ?

I am trying to open a large number of shared suitcases with Suitcase 2.1.1
from an AShare 3.0 server (about 10 workstations).  Since the fonts are
'one font family per suitcase' , the 346 FCBs expire before all the
machines can open their respective Suitcases.

Apple claims that AShare 3.0 can support 100 concurrent users, but the
limit on the number of open files means that this remains a highly
theoretical proposition.  

I assume 1 FCB = 1 file , so having only 346 files open at one time is
really not much.

Replies by email, I will summarize to the net.

You need to set the "Text Pacing..." in the Settings menu. This is pretty 
self-explanitory, but the biggest slowdown is the "Wait for character 
echo" checkbox. If this is set, Z-Term won't send the next char until it 
recives the last one back. This will insure that every character gets 
through, but will slow things d    o    w   n.

System 7 'personal sharing' allows only 10 simultaneous users and 10 share
points.  AS 3.0 is a full appleshare and print spooler, plus they have the
ability to do very limited key support for applications.

I'm actually running AS 3.0 in the background as I type this (with user
activity set to 50%).  It's not used too much, mainly as testing 'till I

I've looked though several newsgroups, and here seems to be the best place to
ask this question:

I have several files on a Sun IPX server that I get at thought CAP - the
Columbia Appletalk Package (v6pl100).  The kinetics ethernet/appletalk bridge
for the appletalk zone for the Sun goes down occasionally, exactly at the
worst times of course, and I then need to get these files from the Sun to my
mac via FTP or zmodem or something.  Presumably, I ought to be able to
convert the files from CAP's divided format into MacBinary or somesuch, but
I haven't been able to find out how.  I *have* been able to use the cvt2apple
program that comes with CAP to convert the files to the AppleSingle and
AppleDouble formats that AUX uses, but no further.  Seems like this
would be a relatively common thing for people to want to do, but so far 
I haven't found the magic formula.  Any advice?  This will probably be an
ongoing problem, but I would like to get a file as soon as possible,
so any brief quick help would be especially appreciated.

Subject: Ethernet NB problems?
Date: 23 Jul 92 14:32:29 GMT
Reply-To: reuven@the-tech.mit.edu
Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Does anyone know whether the new Apple Ethernet NB cards are unstable?
The Mac network I run has had on-again, off-again problems, and I'm
wondering whether they might be related to the cards, which all but
two of our machines use.

We have about 10 Macs (all running System 7 with tune-up) connected
to each other and the Internet using EtherTalk and MacTCP. One of
these machines is runnning A/UX 3.0, the other acts as a fileserver
running AppleShare 3.0. For the most part, the network operates
flawlessly.

But every once in a while, the network just collapses. The A/UX box
disappears from the network (we can't telnet to it or even ping it),
and the AppleShare server disconnects all of the machines connected to
it.  Then, just as suddenly as it went down -- as with just as little
warning -- the network comes back up again.

It's not uncommon for someone to be logged onto A/UX, find that the
telnet connection has gone dead, quit from that telnet session, and be
able to log back to A/UX immediately. I would have ascribed this
flakey behavior to A/UX's telnet daemon, but the same sort of random
behavior occurs with our AppleShare server.

My best guess right now is that the ethernet cards we're using (the NB
cards from Apple) are to blame. The fact that you plug the ethernet
cables into an adaptor which plugs into the card makes me a bit wary.

Does anyone else have problems with these cards? Are they known to be
flakey?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

	I'd assume that you'd need software on the Mac that would act as
a daemon to "listen" for requests from the ethernet.  NCSA telnet doesn't
do this (that I'm aware of), neither does most of the workstation like 
software for Mac/PCs.  In short it'd be a good trick.  I'd suspect it would
have to be capable of background processing, which normally Mac/PCs don't
do that well (at all).

Well it is going to be more dependant upon the X.400 server that you own than 
anything else.

If you own a X.400 Touch server, then you have to purchase the QM/X.400 
gateway the they sell.  Try reaching them at Worldtalk, Inc. same location I 
think.

If you own a X.400 Retix server, then you can either buy the QM/X.400 gateway 
from them, or from InterCon.

That's about the only ones that I know of.  You might try SoftSwitch as well.

I believe you are mistaking a human answering service, where you tell someone
to type in a msg which is then sent to the pager, with the ability to connect
via modem to the computer that actually transmits the page.

To reiterate, the pager service provider that I have lets me call it with any
terminal software and send alphanumeric pages. I also have the option to
enable the human-gateway feature. If I were you, I'd check with the pager
service that you use to see if they have a modem number that you can call.

	What you have discovered is a "feature" of ZTerm that Dave Alverson
calls "Smart MacBinary".  This "feature" keeps a list of known types and
creators and pairs them with a combination of file endings (like .tar) and
file contents (like a GIF header).  This is why ZTerm can "auto type" your 
newly downloaded files that were not in MacBinary format (remember that non-
MacBinary files don't have this info!).

	MicroPhone does not have this "feature" as we felt that it had
some possible drawbacks and offered the possibility of data loss should a file
be typed incorrectly and then the opening app damage the contents.  If you'd
