I recently began participating in a MUSE (mud?) via telnet. The MUSE's on-line
help specified that there were Tinyfugue clients which would make accessing
the MUSE easier. I FTP'd one of these clients but it was DOS based. Does
anyone know of a winsock client for muds?

Subject: Newsreader w/threaded reading, killfile, etc.


Right now, I use the Trumpet newsreader which is quite good.  However, I would
prefer to be able to use niceties found in many unix newsreaders with my
Windows newsreader too!  Things like threaded newsreading and a fully
configurable kill file would be nice additions.  Are there any newsreaders
with these features?

Thanks.

Rob.

       (another PC or a unix box) attempts to talk to it.

The txtsrv package that floated around the Internet a while back is a WinSock
based finger server.  You pass it "name@host", it finds the file named
name and returns it as the finger text.  Thus, in root, you could have a
file named steve, one named help, etc.  Any fully qualified file name will do.
You'd have to add whatever security precautions and validations that you
require, however, since it doesn't have any form of firewalls.

If you can't easily find a local copy of txtsrv, drop me a reply and I'll zip
up my copy for you to pick up off of our anon ftp server.  (My uu mailer
isn't very robust so I have trouble mailing encoded files.)

I'm not quite sure why you prefer this solution over a tftp, but hey, what the
heck.  It may be a little less overhead for equivalent unsecured function.

Good luck.

Subject: Trouble getting mail on Eudora

While attempting to load new mail on Eudora, I get the message "ERR Maildrop
lock busy! Is another session active" every time I try. WinQVT/Net does
displays the same error. Eudora was working great for me just days ago. Does
anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

You need to delete the popper process running on your POP server.  Login to
your POP server (same username and password that you use for Eudora), and
you can see all your processes by tpying in "ps -x".  The first number of
every line is the process ID.  Find the one called "popper" and issue the
command "kill -9 #" where # is the process ID of the popper process.  Then
you can logout and Eudora will be able to grab your mail again.
