	I have noticed a strange problem with 2.5 when I use SLIP.
	After opening a connection using SLIP (Command-S), I get
	the expected open window and can communicate with my
	modem.

	BUT, the Sessions menu is always dim and I cannot switch
	to SLIP (Command-L).  Has anyone else noticed this?

Binhex 4.0 is the standard on the internet, but not elsewhere. The difference
is that Binhex 4.0, like uuencode, creates a character (ASCII) representation
of the file that can be transmitted over 7 bit data links. Binhex 5.0, which
evolved into the MacBinary formats, produces pure binary files that are a
concatenation of the data and resource forks, with a header defining the
file's parameters as they were on the original Mac that created the 
binhex/MacBinary file.

Binhex 5.0 is still useful, but by and large it has been supplanted by
terminal programs incorporating the MacBinary formats into their file
transfer protocols. One place I still use Binhex 5.0 is to decode the
output of the Unix Promulgate mail gateway which takes files attached
to 3+ mail messages (we'll upgrade someday), MacBinaries then uuencodes
the attachment, then appends it to the (now) smtp message. This allows
me to use Eudora (I already upgraded :-) to receive the attachments.

I've posted this info before, but here it is again:

We use some (IMHO) very nice software from XINET Corp. (Berkeley, CA.).
This installs on the Unix box, with nothing needed on the Macs.
It lets you share postscript printers in both directions;
i.e. print to a LaserWriter from a Unix system anywhere
on the network, and print to a Unix printer from a Mac.

It's easy to install, the support is good, and it's not
very expensive ($695 if I remember right).  You only
need one copy per network.

Contact scott@xinet.com -- he's the technical guru there.
Phone is 510-845-0555.

The software is called K-Spool.  They also have a different
package called K-AShare, which implements a Mac file server
on a Unix box.  We also use this and are very pleased with it.
It's smart enough so you can have it set the Mac TYPE and
CREATOR fields to whatever you want when importing a 
Unix file, according to various rules for different
kinds of files.

Anyway, check this out!  We are just a satisfied
customer...

The "gateway" field in MacTCP should point to whatever router gets you
off that wire (as opposed to the SLIP server, unless of course they are
the same box :-).  Example setup:

[ My Mac ] --<SLIP>-- [NetBlazer]-+
                                  !  <- Ethernet
                        [Sun ELC]-+
                                  !
   outside world --<T1>--[Cisco]--+
                          ^^^^^-------"gateway" should point to this

The router *may* need to be configured with a specific route to your
host; the other machines on the wire might be seeing you from RIP
broadcasts or something, but the router might not be listening for RIP
(or whatever; debugging TCP/IP is hard enough for me when the hardware's
in front of me :-).

How is the TS set up to advertise your machine, proxy ARP, RIP, or what?

According to the docs, the bootp protocol is not supported in this version.

You can try to put in support for bootp since the source code is freely
available.

ZTerm works great for me. I have a Motorola Advisor pager, and the service
that I use lets me dial up with my modem and go through a simple menu system
to send messages.

This process could be automated easily with a scriptable comm app.

  One way might be to use BinHex to convert the entire Macintosh File and
send it as a text file over InterNet. I use Eudora and I would record a
message (via my SI's built-in microphone) and send the system 7 sound
file over via Eudora.. The recipient has only to click on the sound file
to hear the message! Neat!

One way that I have done this in the past is to get onto a UN*X host and
ping the node that you want the enet address for.  Then do an "arp -a".
This will list the address.  The problem with this is that both nodes have
to be on the same side of a router.

Is there any way around this?  Is v2.1 the latest version of FaxSTF?

This is the second time you've pointed out the obvious. I do appreciate
any help, but I(and most people) already realize that until my modem 
sprouts an antennae, I'm calling a 'host' that retransmits data it receives.
So I'll restate the obvious.

Do all or most pagering companies use DTMF in receiving the messages 
transmitted to the paging companies(ie: same protocal used by modems)?
Are do they expect some special, proprietary modulated frequencies that 
represent alphabetical characters to them? If they do, does anyone have
C code that will instruct Hayes modems to transmite these special tones?

My present paging company doesn't have a tech dept that's accessible
to those outside of their company, so they can't tell me either.
But they do offer a software package that's works with DOS machines.
They just don't know how it works.

Not the same, but similar -- outgoing is limited to 32k (or is it 30k?).
During the beta test of the gateway they were considering the possibility
of placing the portion of an incoming file >27k into a file attachment
that the AOL user could then download (I did suggest that they should put
the entire message in the attachment so the user wouldn't have to cut and
paste to combine the parts). They may add that at a later point if they
feel it is an important thing to do.
