- Actually Alan I think/hope I got THOR working right. Basicly its ME
- becoming THOR smart.
- 1-Thick Headed Way THOR Main 2-Better Way THOR Main
- Connect TCP/IP Join Conf
- Connect THOR TCP/IP
- Send Events
- Get News
- Now that's after I've joined the Conf/News Groups I want to read.
- Done 1 at a time ;-)
- But once I've selected/gotten my Conf/News Groups, All I gotta do
- is run Connect THOR, Edit in/out any News Groups I want to continue
- to get, Read Msg's Off-Line.
- Their is plenty to configure, but actually I think THOR is worth the
- $30.00 US I'l be sending to Norway next week.
- I got Air Mail Reg. which I use on my A2K ('030 3.1 1084) for just
- E-Mail.
- Ok, I admit I like Air Mails Sound/Voice that keeps me aware of whats
- going on while I'm goofing off.
- I know THOR does E-Mail too, but the volume of traffic is best
- handeled by my A1200 '030x50x32M 1.2 GIG IDEK 17"(THOR),
- Re: Reg., Sent Reg. fee to Switzerland on M 3/13 and Rcvd Key File
- for MFTP on S 3/17, Not bad.
- Re: Finally got a 28.8 (Used to use a Supra 14.4) Gotta Cardinal that
- so far works fine (Data / FAX 14.4), got cps up past 1700 finally.
- (Cardinal from CompuAbility $159.95, 800-896-1334)
-
- Next thing to figure is how to get 'Quick Grab' to work with AMosaic
- and IBrowse
