Subj: ACE1077?
We're running TSSnet on MacIIxes in an Ethernet Thickwire environment with
EtherTalk cards from Apple. The Macs are all on transceiver cables tapped
to the Thickwire, and there is also a MicroVAX II. The net is bridged with
a Retix bridge to the rest of the University of Cincinnati Ethernet backbone,
which consists of multiple thickwire segments bridged by asynch bridges or
fiber-optics bridges.
Several of our Macs have LocalTalk Imagewriters (and one Laserwriter) on them,
which we have made accessible through Liaison. Our side is working fine.
Another site across campus using LocalTalk for their LAN and going through a
GatorBox into the Ethernet is having some problems which I may bring to the
net later--but in troubleshooting with their SysMgr, we noticed Inter*Poll
telling us about some device(?) named ACEnn, with a description of ACEnnnn
(in this case, ACE1077).
This ACE thingy always had a socket number one digit different from the
MacIIx in the same zone; e.g., ACE1077 was socket 252, MacIIx was socket 253.
If somebody can explain what this (phantom?) device is, maybe I'll understand
networking a little better?
Thanks,
Ted

Subject: FTP to mainframe
NCSA Telnet cannot *initiate* ftp transfers (so-called "client" mode);
it can only *respond* to requests for transfers (so-called "server"
mode). However, transfers can be done in both directions, regardless
of who initiates the connection.
Therefore, I usually use NCSA Telnet to log on to the mainframe, then
use the "ftp" command on the mainframe to come back to the Mac and
do the transfers.
There is a version of NCSA Telnet which was "doctored" at BYU to
do client-mode ftp. You can ftp it from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (but
you need a client-mode capable system to do it -- perhaps you can
ftp from ncsa to your mainframe, then ftp again from the mainframe
to your Mac).
I hope this helps.

Subject: Hard Drives Int'l, ToMulti4.0 init.
All-
One, I would like to comment on all the slams on Hard Drives
International. Yes, service is slow, sometimes messed up, and the people
you get over the phone seem to be boneheads. I ordered a "PowerDrive 45"
>From them last year, and was told on the night that I ordered it that it
would be there in 4 days! Well, a week passed. I called. Bob told me
"Well, there has been a slight backorder, but it should be shipped by Monday."
Moday. Tuesday. Friday. Another call: "It's in the mail". My Visa bill
arrives Monday, with a CHARGE FOR THE DRIVE ON IT!!!!!! ARGH!!!! This
aggravated me the most, as I do not think that they can charge me for
something I do not have. I called Instantly. Very Irate. After yelling
at the stupid person on the other end of the phone, she finally broke down
and admitted that the DRIVES were in stock, just no cases, and as soon as
the cases were in, they would be assembled and sent. Then she asked:
"Would you like me to cancel and refund your Visa?" "How long til the cases
get in?" "Probably tomorrow" "No, keep the order" A WEEK later it finally
arrived. Four weeks and lots of anxiety and frustration. But I got it.
In their favor: The drive has performed flawlessly (thank seagate,
not them) and since I was in no GREAT hurry for the drive, the lower cost,
I figure, was worth it.
But, you see, I am used to this kind of service. Your typical MacUser
is NOT. When you pay that much money for a computer, you usually spend the
extra money for service/etc, that adds costs to the mail order company you
are dealing with. Those of us who started out in the PC world, where HDI
is a big company, are used to the lousy service with most PC mail order
companys. The advantage in the PC world has always been LOWER cost. (And that
is about ALL :-) )
So, if you want cheap prices, don't complain about cheap service.
(End preaching mode)
(Start Helpful Mode:)
In response to the posting of TOMULTIFINDER4.0, there is a much
easier way, especially if you don't like inits, to launch Finder or Multi-F.
1. Set Startup as Multifinder
2. If you want Multi-finder, do nothing at startup.
3. If you just the Finder, hold down the COMMAND KEY as your last init
loads until the finder appears. (It's in the manual, and that
simple)
Some people do not like inits, thus I post this info. Those of you
who like inits, get the init.

Subject: Hypercard interface to modem/printer ports?
I have just purchased a programmable remote control device that hopefully
will replace the half-dozen or so remotes in my house. It also came with a
serial interface and a manual which describes the upload and download
protocols for programming it. What I'd like to do is set up a stack that
will make it easier to program and modify the captured codes inside the remote.
In order to do this, I need to send and receive *binary* data through the
modem port. I was hoping someone out there has had to do something similar
so that I don't have to the hard part :^). Note that the *binary* means
basically unsigned bytes, not limited to ASCII subset of characters.
You can reply to me directly or to the net. Thanks in advance.

I need a commonly discussed item clarified. Where, when, why and how
do you lose your icons for files on your mac. I thought that by rebuilding
the desktop you could recover any lost icons. Sometimes it works and other
times it doesn't. I have done it many times on my disk and I can't seem
to recover all my icons. The original application resides on my hard disk
and I have even used resedit to make sure the icon was in the desktop.
It is obviously not using the proper id or something. Any help would
be appreciated.

Anyone else expreiencing problems with BROADCAST v1.0 ?
Having installed it on several machines on my floor, problems began--
Crashes--"application has quit" messages. I'm able to still gain
control of the machine, but when restarting the application, the
"quit" message appears and then the BOMB.
I've noticed this especially in WORD v4.0, running under MultiFinder.
Others around campus have commented about similar problems .
Is this just due to MultiFInder quirck ?? Is there a more up-to-date
version of BROADCAST around ??

REGARDING Re: 8/49--Mac BBS software
Bulletin Board host software that runs on a Mac and presents a graphical
user interface to users calling in from a Mac does exist!
Please see my earlier brief description of TeleFinder (last message in
Info-Mac Digest 8/45).
Based on that posting I got a message from someone in Finland who
had tried unsuccessfully to call the demo BBS at 714-730-5785.
My direct response to him bounced, but the following information will
probably be useful to others too:
The TeleFinder demo BBS has a Telebit T2500 modem, (which does not
support MNP). 2400 Baud or slower should work with virtually any
calling modem. If your's is Telebit compatible, you can go up to 9600
Baud. You need to call with XMODEM-capable software to download the
TeleFinder/User program that will allow you to try the graphic user
interface.

Subject: SFOpen 1.2
Put this startup document in your System Folder, and reboot. To
activate it, press option when you select "Open..." from the "File"
menu. *Every* file will show up in the list. You can open any file,
but be careful since most applications can't do anything useful to
foreign files. Some applications do an extra check of the file
returned by the Standard File Package, and may stop you from opening
it. SFOpen can't do anything about that.
Typical usage is to open a text file with wrong type (not TEXT) in a
word processor. It's also useful if you have ShortCut, since you will
be able to modify any file; not only those openable by the current
application.
WARNING: Some applications may remove or add resources to the file you
open. This could easily corrupt files. Be careful!
SFOpen patches the Standard File Package (no tail patch!). It should
work with any application, even those from MicroSoft. It occupies
about 126 bytes of the system heap.

Subject: System 6.04 and the Spectre GCR Macintosh emulator
It was noted earlier that the Amiga Macintosh emulator, A-Max was
having problems with System 6.04. In personal mail, I was told that
one of the problems was that the 'Welcome' message would flicker and
the computer would lock.
With fear and trembling, I just booted off of a System 6.04 Mac
System Disk and can report absolutely no problems. The Atari Macintosh
emulator, Spectre GCR, has no problem at all with 6.04. This is good
news for I was fearful that Apple had crippled anything above 6.03
when run on anything but a genuine Mac. Three cheers to Apple for
maintaining absolute compatibility.

Subject: Testimony on 45MB Removables
We have been using DPI 44MB removables (Syquest mechanism) for over
a year. We are generally very happy with them.
We have tested them (informally) at about the same speed as Mac II
internal hard disks (about 25ms average access time). Your mileage
may vary.
We had some initial problems with the formatting software from DPI,
but the later versions of the software seem to be solid. We also
had a minor problem with one drive (the disk locking mechanism
failed), and DPI was quick to replace it (under warranty!) with
the latest model (slightly faster).
The outstanding benefit of this technology is the marginal cost of
adding capacity (44MB for about $79/cartridge mail-order).
There may also be a security benefit from being able to remove the
cartridge and lock it up (depending on your circumstances). There
may well be a liability in the reliability area (many types of
removable disks for other systems are less reliable than their
fixed counterparts), but we have been reasonably satisfied.
Of course, I have no relationship with DPI, Syquest, etc. except
as a satisfied customer.

The Grouch 2.0

Graphics by Ken Hornak
Drag "The Grouch" into your System Folder and restart
your Mac. Notice that the "Special" menu in the Finder
has changed slightly. Throw something you don't need
into the trash and select "Empty Trash" from the "Special"
menu (keep an eye on the trash and the volume turned up).
The Grouch should work on most Macintoshes (MacPlus or later) using
System 6.0x. It may work on earlier Systems too. Let me know if you
find any incompatibilities. It won't work at all if you've modified your
trash can icon (the animation would look silly anyway).
The Grouch used to be called "Oscar", but Apple released an INIT by
that name and things were getting confusing.
Improvements over Oscar 1.0:
Color animation
Simultaneous sound & graphics
Uses less permanent memory
Easier to find "About" box
Works on Mac Portable (I think)
Command Key keeps Oscar silent and in the trash
The INIT can be renamed (although you'll have to reboot)
and much, much, more.

Subject: Upgrade choices?
OK gang, here's where the rubber meets the road. Suppose one were going
to expand a one-person office to a four or five-person office. The
one-person office currently uses an Apple IIGS, 40M hard drive, HP
deskjet, TranswarpGs and PC Transporter. A lot of the stuff in the hard
drive is in WordPerfect and would need to be carried along somehow. The
five person office is going to need one PC per person, a laser printer
of somekind, AND internet connectivity and support (telnet, ftp, mail).
Presumably some kind of LAN (e.g., AppleTalk) would be the right way to
interconnect everything. The PC's would be used mostly for
medium-quality documentation and net access; half-tone quality desktop
publishing not a need, but line drawings necessary. Net access would be
for email and cooperative work on documents with sites using Suns and
PC-clones (MS-DOS and maybe some Xenix). (Word processing at those
sites uses mostly a mix of LaTex and WordPerfect.) Here's the chance
for you Mac and Apple II advocates to make your case for which is the
more sensible small business system. (I'm not bothering to ask the PC
or Sun lists since I can get those answers directly.)
It probably makes sense to ask for direct replies, especially since I
don't read the info-mac list regularly. (Besides, one would hate to get
an argument started!) I'll summarize anything cogent.
