i've got another stumper for y'all... i call into my office which has a Shiva Netmodem 2400. It ain't too useful for transferring files (both Carbon Copy and Public Folder crashed becaues of "timeouts"--only Tops could handle it)...it uses some scheme to translate 2400 baud input to 19.2 (or however fast appletalk goes) so that i am, in effect, on the network. i can see the laser printers, see tops volumes, etc etc...it's just too darned slow for anything very useful.. ONE useful thing i see it used for though, is to check my stinkin' quickmail. But i've installed it on my system, it looks like all the files are there, i call in, login to the network, can see printers, but when i try to get into quickmail, the name button gives me a big dialogue box of empty. nada. nothing is there. the mailcenter on in the zone is found quite fine. But the names (the white pages?) can't. any ideas? thanx much...Darryl... also...any ideas why i wouldn't be able to change my password on the particular set up on my computer in the office, yet on another person's computer i would? is this a "privelege" that the postmaster can give and take away at her whim? (yikes!) thanx.....

On the Adninistrator supplemental distribution disk, there is an application called QM TimeOuts*. Use this and either the 2400 or 1200 timeout file provided to adjust the timeouts in the QuickInit file.
