Hello...just wanted to start by saying that this is a cool group without
near the amount of flamage on some other groups.  Grats.  :)

Now, for my two questions:

Number 1:
Where do I find a ping command for windows?  I have Trumpet Winsock up and
running just fine (this is Windows' definintion of just fine *smile*).  I have
WinQVT and Winsock Finger...so I guess I would need either a windows ping
or a windows traceroute...where may I find this?  and are there other neat
little Windows Inet tools I'm missing?

Number 2:
When I open a new terminal (telnet) window from WinQVT (Win 3.1 version),
it will remember previous sites I logged into since I first load it.
Is there a way to "remember" sites that I've logged onto in previous
runnings of WinQVT?

Thanks in advance.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there ISN'T someone out to get you.

I bet it's that .AU files are 16-bit sound files, and the PC speaker driver
(if you have it installed at all, which you may not) only supports 8-bit
sound.  I have a program called WHAM (Waveform Hold and Modify, if I am not
mistaken) that I picked up off of one of the standard PC FTP sites... it
will convert them to 8-bit sounds and play them.  (Not automatically,
though; I double-click on the audio link in Mosaic, WHAM loads up with the
.AU file loaded in, and then I have to select "Convert to 8-bit".)

Hope that this helps.

Hi All,

I have a problem using the PC Eudora program.  Thanks in advance for any
comments and suggestions.

Background Info.
================
1. I have a shell account with netcom.      ([e-mail])
2. I also have a SLIP account with netcom.    ([e-mail])
3. I applied a custom/personal domain name    (@company_name.com)
   (it is not working yet)
4. My system is running MS Windoes 3.1 + WinSock
5. My objective for having the SLIP account is to receive email addressed to:
   "anything@company_name.com" or "[e-mail]".  BTW,
   I have sent a few emails to "[e-mail]".  They are
   now somewhere in the cyberspace to be retrived.

I have tried:
=============
6. I have installed PC Eudora Version 1.4 for Windows to my system.
7. In the Eudora program, my POP Account parameter is "[e-mail]"
   and the SMTP server parameter is "netcom.com".  I believe these two
   parameters are correct.
8. When logining to netcom, I would receive email addressed to my shell
   account: "[e-mail]".  But I was expecting emails addressed to
   my slip account: "[e-mail]".
9. Netcom told me:
   "THESE MESSAGES (email addressed to '[e-mail]')
    WILL NOT BE RETRIEVABLE BY POP.  YOU MUST RUN AN SMTP SERVER AND THE
    SMTP SERVER MUST DELIVER THE MAIL TO A FILE ON YOUR HOST WHICH YOU
    CAN READ THE MESSAGES FROM USING YOUR OWN MAIL USER AGENT"

My questions:
=============
10. Is it possible at all to receive email addressed to my slip account?
    (i.e. "[e-mail]")  Either receiving it from my
    shell account on netcom's UNIX machine or from my PC/SLIP connection
    will be fine.
11. Where do I run the SMTP server as mentioned in #9?  On netcom's UNIX
    machine or on my PC.  Is PC Eudora a SMTP server program?  How can I
    run it as a SMTP server.  If it is not, can anyone recommend me one
    please.  (BTW, is Eudora just an off-line mail reader?)
12. What is the Mail User Agent mentioned in #9?

Again, thanks for your net.wisdom.  Look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Paul Chan
