Howdy.


I am relocating to the Denver area and am looking for a public access
telnet server that I can call up and access my old miami internet
accounts (and get stuff off of ftp.apple.com! <grin>) Does anyone know
of such a system in the Denver area?


Any / All help will be greatly appreciated...

I'm not sure whether I have a problem or not... a friend of mine 
seems to think I do... I've had a Prometheus Promodem Ultima
for near a year now and every so often the MR (modem ready) light
blinks off... this slows down transfers and sometimes causes the carrier
to drop (the most annoying aspect of the problem).  But this doesn't
happen all the time.  I thought it would be just be cause of line
noise... but hooking up my friends HST to my line works just fine
as well as the fact that I get my carrier dropped on connections
that are less than a mile away... My friend seems to think that
maybe I have buggy ROMs in the modem. Any comments or information
will help a great deal...

Is anyone using async appletalk under system 6.0.8?

I am currently trying to get async appletalk to work on a classic 2/40
under system 6.0.8 system. However, the system software seems to be
designed for system 7 as far as I can tell, although the information supplied 
informs me that it will also work on under system 6.
	All installations were successful when installing software, and the network
system icon and apllication work so far as the control panel.
It is at this point when a system address error arises when the
async appletalk icon is launched.  Perhaps I need a system 6 network CDEV,
however where can I obtain this from.  
  
Can anyone help? if so please email me at u883544@postoffice.utas.edu.au

Correct.

Correct, with the additional note that MacTCP 1.1.1 is now available
through APDA.

Untrue.  The Network Software Installers, of which NSI v. 1.2.3 is the
latest, support _all_ Macintoshes.  There is no incompatibility between any
NSI and any Macintosh in production at the time the NSI disk is released.

Incorrect.  NSI 1.2.x will be just fine for any of 'em.

If you use System 7.0 or 7.0.1, it is strongly recommended (i.e. don't tell
us about problems otherwise) that use use MacTCP 1.1 or greater.

It does, however, need to be noted that there is an incompatibility between
NSI 1.2.1 and later and MacTCP 1.1, relating to LocalTalk.  If you install
NSI 1.2.1 (or later) on a system with MacTCP 1.1, the LocalTalk icon will
frequently fail to show up in the MacTCP control panel.  This can also
happen if MacTCP 1.1 is used on a machine with the Apple Internet Router
installed.  This is not a problem for any other medium than LocalTalk and
has been corrected in MacTCP 1.1.1.

If you use System 7.1, you _must_ use MacTCP 1.1.1.

I agree that the message is confusing.  The *situation* is confusing.  Any
number of things could be wrong, and the appropriate action the user should
take can vary from nothing to aborting the connection to (as Andre
suggested) getting a cable fixed.

Simple solutions don't always work.  The UNIX way is just to kill the
connection; wrong.  The Apple way would be not to put up the alert at all
(Apple Motto: If it's confusing, it doesn't exist), also wrong.

The world is a big place, and this is one area where users just have to
cope.

Eudora's response to ICMP messages was discussed with a routing guru long
ago; we may quibble about the wording, but the behavior is exactly what
this guy wanted; notify the user, but don't do anything.

news using TheNews or Newswatcher that have Mac front ends. I'd like to

to work with the other above mentioned programs? I've tried and it doesn't
seem to work. I have entered what seems to be the correct addresses it asks

I know that this might be an FAQ, however, I couldn't find any FAQ lists

I check this group quite often, so feel free to post your reply here or

  This is the situation:  I have an IBM hooked up to our campus network
using token-ring.  I'm getting a Mac Classic II.  Since we don't support
Macs on the network and I don't have the money to buy a network card I
have a problem.  I could use a modem to dial in.  However, I was
wondering:

Could I make a connection from the serial port of the Mac to the serial
port of the IBM.  Then using comm software could I, in effect, take over
the network access from the IBM. Or alternatively, could I use PC-soft
on the Mac and connect thru the network card??

Or you can pick up "termy" from your local ftp site and have all of

The setting, once changed from the Dial command, should be remembered by the 
settings file. And the phonebook allows you to load a settings file for each 
number. Failing that, you could use a procedure to change the redial limit. 
Each number can also be associated with a procedure file.

Flame me if I'm wrong, but sixel is a format used for dumping screen
images to a printer; ReGis is the screen format, which I presume is what
you want. I don't know of any PD programs to do this, but White Pine
makes Mac330/340, which do ReGis and color ReGis respectively. I've used
the program for over 7 years, and it is still my favorite terminal
emulator when connecting to a VAX.

On older versions of the Promodem Ultima, the MR light was used to indicate

I was given by Prometheus. I have not noticed the Home Office doing this

I know what is Ph stored along with Eudora.
But a time ago, I came across a Mac Phone (or rather persons') directory
that used to list places hierarchically: by country that expanded to
states, towns etc.. Moreover, test cases popped nice formatted cards,
even with the pictures of some gentlemen.
Now that I have interest in Ph, I would like to investigate it some more:
- where is that program?
- was it using the Ph protocol or anything else?

Now there's an oxymoron if ever I saw one! 

I suppose this program will work if Apple decides to throw out the serial
chip for a DSP chip? I think not. People who hack the hardware directly
like this deserve every bit of heartache they get when the hardware
changes. Apple wrote the Toolbox and various managers for a reason.

I'm with Tim on this. Good APPLICATION level software should never touch
the hardware directly.

I bought it a Boston and it has crashed fairly regularly since then.
 It crashes on my //si, //fx and PB 170.  I have turned off all
the inits but it still locks up.  When it locks up, it usually corrupts
the prefs file.  Sure I can keep a backup copy but the file gets huge.

Most of the time it will crash when I switch an app to the front.
It locks up to often on too many machines to blame the user.  (IMHO)

I also have been waiting for the ability to use scripting.  It was
promised in Boston and that's the last I have heard about it.

Well, stricher@masig.fsu.edu (Char Aznabul) suggested trashing the
MacTCP DNR file, if it existed.  It did, so I did.  Then, MacTCP
looked a bit odd; it was suddenly alterable without the Admin
control panel, it had a strange subnet set, etc.  So, I threw it
out, installed a new one (v. 1.1), ran the Tool on it, and.....

it seems to work!

Now, is there some good reason why I should upgrade any/all of our
machines to MacTCP 1.1.1 ?

That's true except that it's called a header and has nothing whatsoever
to do with the Macintosh file system.  Instead it's part of sending a file
