Subject: Accessing the WSMR-SIMTEL20 Archives
The Simtel20 Archives discussed are available from:
WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (see file PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>AAAREAD.ME details
on file directories and descriptions.) Problems with files obtained
from the Archives should be addressed to:
<ACTION@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL>
Archives of past issues of the Info-IBMPC Digest are available by FTP
only from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL in directory PD2:<ARCHIVES.IBMPC>.
WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL can be accessed using LISTSERV commands from
BITNET via LISTSERV@NDSUVM1, LISTSERV@RPIECS and in Europe from EARN
TRICKLE servers. Send commands to TRICKLE@<host-name> (example:
TRICKLE@TREARN). The following TRICKLE servers are presently
available: AWIWUW11 (Austria), BANUFS11 (Belgium), DKTC11 (Denmark),
DB0FUB11 and DS0RUS1I (Germany), EB0UB011 (Spain), FRMOP11 (Location
??, but VERY Central to Europe), HEARN (Netherlands), IMIPOLI (Italy),
TAUNIVM (Israel), and TREARN (Turkey).
SIMTEL20 is not accessible on the first Wednesday of each month from
6-10pm Eastern Standard Time.
If you are unable to access SIMTEL20 via Internet 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 (HST/V.32/V.42/V.42bis/MNP5).
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.
<rjc@math.princeton.edu> operates a mail server that sends, by
return mail, a series of files that answer quite a few of the most
frequently asked questions on the net. This server will also look up
programs in the SIMTEL20 index, the grape index, and the chyde index.
If you send email to <rjc@math.princeton.edu> with no subject and
containing the single line "help", you will receive instructions;
sending the message "directory" gives you an index of all the files
available on the server.
A set of files you might be interested in is obtaining are faq.csip
old.questions and faq.more. These files contain answers to more
frequently asked questions. To obtain these files, just send the
two-line message:
path your-return-path-goes-here
send desired-file
(ie: "send faq.csip", "send old.questions", or "send faq.more")
to rjc@math.princeton.edu. Of course, replace "your-return-address"
with your actual return address. UK users please remember to reverse
the JANET path. DO NOT INCLUDE A SUBJECT LINE FOR THESE MESSAGES.

Subject: Today's Query:
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 90 13:43:00 EST
From: Betty Harvey <harvey%OASYS.DT.NAVY.MIL@uga.cc.uga.edu>
Subject: Telnet and Desqview on 386
I am having trouble installing NCSA Telnet under Desqview. I am
trying to install it on a UNISYS 386 with 4 megabytes of memory. I
have a Western Digital Ethernet controller. I also have QEMM
installed. Telnet works fine when I don't have Desqview active.
However, I get a message that it can't find the ethernet number when I
try to load the driver from Desqview. If I load the driver before I go
into Desqview and try to load Telnet I get a "Window Allocation Error"
and the machine completely hoses up and I have to hit the reset button.
Anyone have any ideas?

Subject: HC901204.ZIP - HamComm: Transmit/receive RTTY with PC/XT/AT
I have uploaded to SIMTEL20:
pd1:<msdos.hamradio>
HC901204.ZIP HamComm: Transmit/receive RTTY with PC/XT/AT
HamComm currently allows for transmission and reception of amateur
teletype signals. The interesting thing about it is, that it doesn't
require a modem. The audio output of the transceiver is connected to a
serial port of any PC/XT/AT compatible computer thru a very simple and
low-cost circuit. You need only one ic (op-amp LM741) and a few
diodes, capacitors and resistors. For transmission the speaker output
is connected to the microphone input of the transceiver thru a passive
r/c filter. Estimated cost is about 10$. Audio frequency decoding and
serial/parallel conversion is all done by the program.
HamComm will run on XT maschines but the graphics display of the input
signal is more fun to watch on an AT-class maschine. Nearly all of the
functions can also be controlled by using a mouse. The program
automatically detects the type of display adapter in use. MDA, CGA,
EGA, VGA and Hercules are currently supported. A harddisk is not
required. All text is written in English and the online help function
includes the schematics for the interface circuit. There are also
predefined standard phrases and ...
Sorry, i got carried away :-)
best regards.
