Sorry to disagree with you here, but PEP and TurboPEP handles line
noise better than the CCITT and HST protocols.  There are other
factual errors in your posting, but this is one of the most glaring.

Available from a company such as Mt. Xinu (Berkeley, CA), is a program
called K-Spool. It will publish an AppleTalk print queue that can be 
accessed via the chooser. I think they have binaries for Sun's and 
some other machines. 

OR, you could get a program such as NetWare NFS, which will do 
the same thing, and talk to NetWare clients as well. NetWare NFS
does require a PC (386 or better) and NetWare 3.11, however,
so unless you already have a NetWare server, the K-Spool might
be a better way to go.

BTW- K-Spool used to be sold by Kinetics, which merged with Excelan,  
which then merged with Novell, who makes NetWare, and NetWare NFS.
I work for Novell, so I have to be slightly biased... 

PS- we used K-Spool here until NetWare NFS was out of beta... about a year 
or so ago...

Yes (at least any application that can print).

Cover pages are optional. You can create any number of cover pages. Each can be

I have been trying to connect with ARA using my Logitech Xeba v42.bis
fax modem to our office machine with Supra v32.bis faxmodem. Despite
various attempts, I cannot make a connection. I think the problem lies
at the Supra end - that modem doesn't seem to want to negotiate the
communication level down to 2400 or whatever.

But then I have not been able to find a proper ARA-script for XEBA modem
either. If no one has made such a script, what is the best alternative?
And is there available documentation on how to write ARA scripts? The
don't seem that complicated...

	I'm not convinced that SC has a nicer interface, but you're basically
right -- pretty much every terminal program has a different set of strengths
and none is best for EVERYBODY.

The problem you mentioned, "...System Not Responding" seems to happen mostly
when the system load is heavy. Being not an expert, I am guessing the time

1200 bps, which I promptly log off until later.

I don't know AOL is lagging behind in installing phone lines, nodes, upgrading

I asked exactly this question here last week, and as 6 or 7 helpful
respondents pointed out, SLIP is just plain broken under the final
version of 2.5.  One person said that 2.5beta works, but I was unable to
contact ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu that evening and when I managed to connect
the next morning, they'd removed the 2.5beta tree which had been there
just days earlier.  Anybody out there still have a copy?

I did pick up a copy of 2.4.19 (BYU) which connects fine, but after a brief
period, each of my connections will seize up.  The SLIP driver appears to
be working since I can still initiate new sessions, but the frozen sessions
will not respond to terminal resets, and the processes on the other end
are stuck waiting for i/o.  If only SLIP were as robust as PPP...

The "private event queue" approach is the best way I ever found to
communicate between interrupt routines and "safe time". The advantage is
that you can dequeue from your private event queue in a MenuHook or
DragHook. It is also possible to break up your screen refresh into
smaller segments and call the dequeue routine in the loop. Probably, you
are drawing to a gWorld, then copying the gWorld to the screen; just
divide the grafPort into an arbitray number of rects as wide as the
screen, and copy each one of these to the screen, calling your dequeue
routine each time. This will degrade screen performance a bit, but one
way or another, you have to interleave your IO calls into the screen
drawing, so doing it explicitly gives you more control over it. Besides,
it will give your game that vertical wipe effect so popular in video
arcade games :-).

There is another way to do what Eric wants, as he really only needs to be
able to queue another IO call, and can preallocate enough parameter
blocks to suffice. The solution I employed in a different problem (but
conceptually similar) was to have a very short completion routine which
queued a deferred task, which did the processing. The deferred task fires
"soon", but there is no guarantee that it will fire before the next
interrupt, or not be interrupted itself, so you need some sort of guard
structures; a spin lock or a semaphore or such, so you don't get confused
about what has and hasn't been done. Why go to the trouble? The deferred
task doesn't block other interrupts, so the mouse doesn't get that jumpy
look (which you can tolerate while initializing a disk, but would drive
your game players crazy).

MIME
Full AppleEvent support
Remote mailbox protocol
Digital signatures
Cooperate in some fashion with OCE (hard to hit a moving target right now)

Also, there is work being done under NSF auspices to bring automated mail
tools into Eudora, much like "Beyond Mail".  You'll be able to easily say
things like:

"Delete all mail from mailbox x older than 10 days"
"File all mail sent to MacApp3 in mailbox MacApp3"
"Automtically reply with 'Eat Hot Death' to mail with 'You may have already
won' in the body."

I'm not necessarily saying the capability will be natural language, but
that these kinds of operations will be possible.

You'll be able to do that with AppleEvents.

I expect you'll start seeing this stuff next summer, but that's not to be
