There is a commercial product called "Stacker" that does this. Sorry,

Supposedly it will work properly if left at the Dos command line at
midnight. Otherwise, whatever application is running at midnight must
use the Dos time interrupt, not the BIOS time interrupt. -David-

John,
MS-Kermit's "hangup" command just drops DTR and assumes that will cause
your modem to hang up the line. A modem that is compatible with the
Hayes 2400 can be told to do that with the "&D2" command ("AT&D2&W").
Modems that are only compatible with the older Hayes 1200 technology
(which didn't accept any of the "&" commands) have to be told to do
that via dip-switches.

I'd suggest the problem is your modem's Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
switch. According to my US Robotics card, "OFF: Computer raises DTR
signal when ready to receive data (DTR low terminates a call). ON: DTR
override - required if your computer does not support dtr."
So check your modem manual, and switch the modem card's DTR to OFF
(e.g., no override).

The Kermit HANGUP command for serial ports (vs networks) tells the
port to drop modem signal DTR, Data Terminal Ready. External modems can
be configured to hangup or ignore this message, and not all modems obey
the Hayes command set +++ ATH sequence. It appears that your modem
needs a little attention to jumper settings or non-volitle memory
setup.

The DRIVPARM directive in CONFIG.SYS can be used to tell DOS whether or
not a 3.5-inch drive has changline support. This directive was buggy
in DOS 3.3, but it can be made to work by following the DRIVPARM=
characters by three or so control-A characters. I just fixed an
identical problem with a drive via this approach.

Well one of the subling blocks of the 640k barrier is that DOS's
command.com must be loaded into that low memory area. That is around
40k or 50k of memory being used by DOS. 5.0 will load itself into high
memory freeing up that normal space. I bet that kermit will run in
WP's shell. Also the dos shell program will allow you to switch
between open applications. This is nice but not as nice as something
like DesqView which will allow open windows to run in the back ground.
Besides loading command.com into high memory, 5.0 will load other tsr
programs into high memory like the QEMM loadhi command. Like someone
else has said, if you have all the memory management programs already,
5.0 may not be very helpfull. I have yet to see something that will
load command.com into high memory though. I have ordered it and can't
wait to get it. I do have a little of a wait. The EGGHEAD telephone
person warned that delivery is guarenteed form shipment date but they
are being swamped so that in itself could be a week away.

I would use Ethernet technology. It is very mature. The cost is
dropping. It has a distinct advantage of decentralized installation.
This is largely true of the other technologies you mentioned, but not
entirely. I believe that Token Ring requires a node to initiate new
tokens, and Arcnet requires a special device in the wiring closet.
Ethernet is 100% decentralized, with no special nodes required for
network operation other than bridges to other segments.
I recommend the WD8003E card for IBMPC compatibles. It has a low
price. It works on both 8-bit and 16-bit bus slots. It is supported
by a wider variety of software than any other card in my experience.
Although it is an 8-bit dumb card, it is very fast, and I am not
convinced that the 16-bit smart cards get a signifigant performance
advantage from the additional complexity. Also, smart cards tend to be
supported by less software because of the inordinate complexity of
programming the device. -David-

I recommend leaving your computers on 24 hours a day (given Air

it is my experience that more modern CRT's do not get burned. This
seems only to happen to older technology devices, but I have no

3.3, it was not part of the package. When I go back and use my old

Subject: Running DOSShell in 50-line mode under Windows
I am experiencing a strange problem when trying to run MS DOS 5.0's
DOSShell in its 50-line text mode from Windows 3.0 in 386 enhanced
mode. The mouse cursor will not move below the 25th line; and when I
try to select with the left mouse button, I actually select at some
line below the one where the mouse cursor is. This selection behavior
is very interesting in that the distance between the line where the
mouse-cursor is and the actually-selected line is linearly variable:
the farther down the screen the mouse cursor is, the greater the
distance between it and the actually selected line.
There is no problem when running DOSShell in any other display mode
under Windows' 386 enhanced mode. There is no problem at all when
running under Windows' Standard mode, or when running DOSShell outside
of Windows.
Has anyone else seen this problem, and is there a workaround for it?
Could this be a problem with my SpeedSTAR VGA board and its Windows
drivers?

If you are unable to access SIMTEL20 or mirror site wuarchive.wustl.edu
via FTP or through one of the BITNET/EARN file servers, most SIMTEL20
MSDOS files, including the PC-Blue collection, are available for
downloading on the Detroit Download Central network at 313-885-3956.
DDC has multiple lines which support 300/1200/2400/9600/14400 bps
(103/212/V22bis/HST/V32bis/V42bis/MNP). This is a subscription system
with an average hourly cost of 17 cents. It is also accessable on
Telenet via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via StarLink outdial. New files
uploaded to SIMTEL20 are usually available on DDC within 24 hours.
