- Then change it. Enter something like this in ENV(ARC):Mosaic/prefs:
-
- Font helvetica/11
- ItalicFont helvetica/11/italic
- BoldFont helvetica/11/bold
- FixedFont clean/11

- or use whatever fonts you want...

- If you use AmiTCP/IP (which I assume), "ping" shouldn't ask for
- socket.library. Unless you use "ping" from AS225... socket.library is used
- by AS225 applications. There is an emulation library available, which lets
- you use AS225 applications with AmiTCP/IP. You can find it in the
- Grapevine archive on Aminet, or on the Thor ftp site.
-
- Also, unless you want to use AS225 apps, you don't need an inet: assign
- (and, in any event, not an inetd: assign :-) )

-
- You can telnet, but not ping?! Try to write
-
- version `which ping` full
-
- (note the backticks) in the Shell, it should say something like
-
- AmiTCP/IP_ping 4.1 (17.Dec.94)
