This is slightly different, but I use a WinFaxPro Version 3 in conjunction
with the Trumpet Winsock, alternating who owns the modem by using the
shareware package Assassin.  WinFax is in my startup and runs continuously
on my machine, expecting incoming faxes or prepared to transmit them.  When
I want to access the internet via TCPMAN, I execute the Assassin program
which first "kills" WinFax and then runs TCPMAN, who takes over the modem.
TCPMAN then dials my service provider and I run my favorite winsock
applications.  When I'm finished with them, I end TCPMAN.  Assassin takes
control again and restarts WinFax.  Thus my "fax machine" is always on,
except for those times it's busy when I'm dialing out to the internet.  I
use this same approach for my Waffle UUCP mail and news.  I got Assassin
at CICA in pub/pc/win3/util as ass_a01.zip.

Subject: C++ API or Wrapper for SNMP

Does anyone out there have a C++ API or wrapper that I could use in my apps to
report and log errors via SNMP?  I have several versions in straight C, but
nothing exploiting C++.

Thanks.

If you ftp to a mainframe, the privileges are a part of the system.
The PC doesn't have  an person-account environment and hence no
reference in the files  and dirs who owns them and
which people have access to them. In the qvtnet ftp-server you have
two options, either set up person-password data with passwd.exe, or allow
anonymous login.

If a person is registered, he has total access. If you allow
anon login, they are restricted  to the directory given in qvtnet.ini.

You only have these options to play with. I have set up an anonftp directory
where I place the files interesting to the world. A sub "uploads" points
out where anons can put files. If you want to protect specific files, just
put an attrib "r" to it.

Do yourself a favor and dump WinVn and get Trumpet.  I think they took the

Winsock stands for Windows Socket and is a programming specification. The
latest of that is 1.1. The program you use now should implement this
specification. That is the reason you are seeing references to Winsock 1.1.
This 1.1 is not related to the application version.

Leave the user name and password items out and try again. Many NNTP servers do
not require that information if it sees that you are connecting from the local
net. If that does not work, then you may not have the permission to use that
server. In that case, contact your sysadm for help.

Do yourself a BIG favour and get the latest WinVN (version 0.90.4).  You
won't believe the difference from 0.82

[canned blurb]
The latest version winvn is always available from
titan.ksc.nasa.gov (use IP# 128.159.4.20), in the directory
[.pub.win3.winvn].
winvnstdXXX is the WINSOCK version
winvnpwkXXX is the Pathworks/Lanman version
winvnsrcXXX is the source.

If you need to use ftp-by-mail, use this path instead:
ripem.msu.edu:/pub/pc/win/winvn/titan.ksc.nasa.gov/

In mosaic.ini you need the following lines:

[viewers]
type9="audio/basic"                             type1, type2... whatever
audio/basic="p:\mosaic\wplany.exe %ls"          Or whatever the path is.

[suffixes]
audio/basic=.au,.AU,.aud,.AUD


In response to a similar question a week or two ago, someone from NCSA
responded that you MUST use audio/basic. Audio/wav or anything else will not
work, because, under the HTTP protocol, file typing is done at the server, not
the client. If you use anything else, the server returns the wrong MIME type
(whatever that is).

Hope this helps...
