I'm pretty sure that even the old Stuffit 1.5.1 had a binhex
converter built in.  Just make sure to un-binhex it before
using the normal "Open" command from the file menu.

	I can highly recommend LeeMail, the latest version of which has just been
posted to comp.binaries.mac by Lee Fyock, the author.  It is also available
from the info-mac archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu.

	LeeMail is a true stand alone smtp mailer, and it requires MacTCP.  It has
attachment with binhex only.  Lee hasn't released a new feature in a while, how
about selectable binhex or uuencode, Lee? :)

My pager company doesn't have a tech. dept. to answer these questions.
Can the Motorola Advisor model receive straight text input from a
modem & terminal program? What are the specifics? Beginning & ending
codes? TTY or vt100? Anything else that comes to mind? If anyone would
be kind enough to answer these specific questions without guessing,
I will spend two weeks developing a PD paging software for the Mac.

It's ell one. It needs to be in the system folder.

>Is the documentation from APDA any good?

I can't say how good the current documentation is; the documentation when it
was CL/1 was fairly obtuse. There are some useful utilities that used to be on
the developer disks, including a hosts.cl1 editor stack.

I spent a fair amount of effort on CL/1 when it was in beta, writing some
hospital data management tools. If you understand SQL, it is fairly easy to
master, almost like writing for the Rdb C precompiler. You can do nice things
like download a list of names, getting only the last name if it is unique in
the list, but appending the first name if needed.

The downside is that DAL can be difficult to debug. In 1.2, every error was
localized to line 1, irrespective of how long the program was. I don't know if
that has been fixed. As I had 20K of CL/1 code that I was transmitting to the
host to support my application, and I wanted to know which of the routines the
error was in, I wrote an XCMD which parsed the file and sent procedures one at
a time, so at least you could locate the error. I may still have the XCMD
around - I submitted it to the archives, but that was 2 years ago.

Looks like you're using the wrong cable. You need a hardware-handchaking
cable with RTS/CTS lines at the right position. Or your modem is not
set up correctly for the handshaking. You only get errormessages like
the above, when the Mac sends data even if your modem says "stop".

If you can hold a solder-iron in the right hand, you should try the
cable described in your ZTerm-Manual. It works, definitely.

Greetings....Michael

NCSA Telnet 2.5 supports SLIP.  Indeed it does not use MacTCP but that
was not specified by the original poster.  From the NCSA Telnet 2.5
README file:

Serial Connections
Telnet now has the ability to connect through the serial port, and can also
optionally use SLIP.

Your best bet is to get hold of a copy of "Inside AppleTalk, 2nd edition",

SAP is the acronym for Service Access Point.  The concept of SAPs is
defined as part of the 802.2 specification.  It's much more widely used on
Token Ring than it is on Ethernet.  Basically, it's a similar concept to a
socket: a sub-address within a given physical address.

SNAP is the Sub-Network Access Protocol.  It hasn't yet been accepted as a
standard.  It's essentially a standard way of multiplexing a larger number
of protocols within a single SAP, specifically SAP 0xAA.  A decent
description of SAPs and SNAPs and their use in the AppleTalk protocols can
be found in "Inside AppleTalk", p. 3-3.

Hmm.  You were probably misunderstood.  I suspect someone believed you were

We are using ARA with some Multi-Tech MultiModems (both V.32 and V.32bis).  We
have recently upgraded the chips in these modems per the latest upgrade kit
from Multi-Tech.

Intermittently, the modem on the ARA Server does not hang up the call upon
termination of an ARA session.  Since upgrading the chips, the problem has been
occuring more frequently than before.  We are using the standard ARA driver for
Multii-Tech V.32 modems.  (There is no driver for the V.32bis version of these
modems.)  Whenever this happens, the modem remains off-hook until someone
manually clears it.  Our site is served by a ROLM PBX.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Any insights or suggestions?

Many thanks.

Actually, you can make a direct connection to an Advisor.  That is what those
three holes are on the left side of the unit.  There is an adaptor you
can get that hooks to the advisor on one end, and a computer on the other.

I saw one at Mobile '92 in San Francisco hooked up to a Safari PC laptop.

I am currently attempting to get my hands on the protocol for talking
to one, so I don't know if you even *could* send a message to it.  I know
that you can *retrieve* messages from it this way.

I have changed employers.  I now work for Qualcomm, Inc.  Qualcomm and I
will continue to develop Eudora, and continue to make it available for free.
In fact, Eudora development will be accellerated.

My new address is "sdorner@qualcomm.com"; the old address will still work,
but please use the new one instead.

For the time being, Eudora will still be available from ftp.cso.uiuc.edu,
though that may change in the future.

I have just put a new beta test release of Eudora on ftp.cso.uiuc.edu,
mac/eudora/beta subdirectory.  The new version is 1.3b46.

CHANGES FROM 1.2.2

Besides fixing some bugs in 1.2.2, version 1.3 adds a few features:

    1. You may now edit the subjects of incoming messages.
    2. System 7 aliases are permitted for mailbox files (only; no
       aliases for .toc files, just the mailbox files themselves).
    3. TOC rebuilds now salvage as much of the old toc as possible
    4. Support for "uupc", UUCP for the Macintosh.
    5. Support for AppleLink enclosures (thanks to Harry Culbert of
       Apple, who donated this code).
    6. Support for "plug-ins" (don't get too excited)
    7. Reply all preference
    8. Include self preference
    9. Open In preference
   10. Shift-Reply now quotes selected portion
   11. Added some special characters for use in navigation strings
    
I recommend use of the beta version if:

    1. You are having trouble with version 1.2.2.
    2. You have the "Leave Mail On Server" switch turned on.
    3. You can't live without the new features.
    4. Disk space is very tight.
    5. You sometimes receive attachments from AppleLink

Please read the README file in the mac/eudora/beta subdirectory
for further details.

You can try buying a copy of Inside AppleTalk, 2nd edition, which
is published by Addison-Wesley. Another good book is my new "Macworld

chapters on the AppleTalk stack, the protocol acronyms, a glossary, and 
much, much more!  ;-)

2.0 -was- up.  They yanked it down and put 1.6 back up.  2.0.1 is due next
