I've asked this question of the local pseudo-3com wizard, and I am repeatedly ignored. Does anyone know of a 3com Ethernet programmer's reference guide? If so, who can I contact to order it? I'd like to develop a few applications that will allow a few of our standard applications to directly interface with 3com's mail system. For example, if someone on the 3com network has a serious problem with a network application, I'd like them to be able to send a 'print screen' image to me via 3com mail. This is one of many features I'd like to add. But before I can develop such an application I need technical info on how to send or receive a 3com mail message outside of the standard 3com mail program. Please email all replies. I'll summarize to the net. -- Jeff Sheese - via FidoNet node 1:109/116 UUCP: ...!netsys!jsheese!jeffery ARPA: jeffery@jsheese.FIDONET.ORG (I am sole owner. My opinions represent my company.)

Are we talking about 3+Share? Guide? Ha, I don't think it exists. I've tried ordering one (from 3com) and got the Token Ring guide (whoopie). When I finally got hold of someone about it they told me 'Oh, we don't publish that anymore', this was someone from 3com. I think they are trying to get as many people on 3+Open and forget about 3+Share Administrators/Users. Look for a guide on NetBios, assuming you are using it. All of my work has been geared towards using it for administative things as well as mail, a conference program, and a popup send/receive utility. I have a number of things I've written that work rather nicely. All in all NetBios is ok but at times a little flakey. dale Dale Ross Maurice | dale@xanth.cs.odu.edu dale@cs.odu.edu Old Dominion University | dale@xanth.uucp [128.82.8.1]
