Hi,
My college has just beefed up its security and now requires passive ftp to
access remote sites.  The ws_ftp does not support it and neither does QVT.
Does anyone know of such a program?
Thanks

Subject: Question about Trumpet Slip and ethernet


How do I set up trumpet slip at the office so that I can dial into
it from another site and get on the company tcp/ip net?

The computer that will be accepting my connection will be running
trumpet winsock set up for slip mode.  But if this is the case,
then it is not going through ethernet.  Which means, it doesn't
have access to the rest of the tcp/ip network at the office.

Are there any solutions?

I guess I'm looking for RAS but for TCP/IP

The Divide by 0 error in Telnet is due to Chameleon's ravenous appetite
for lower memory. Chameleon allocates large blocks of memory in the
first 1MB. When that area is exhausted, Telnet gives the divide by 0
error. You should try to have as much conventional memory as possible
available before starting Windows.

For example, I have a memory monitor which shows how much lower memory
is available. It currently shows 68,256 bytes total and 19,360 bytes
in the largest block. I will now go off and start Telnet.

[Charles starts Telnet]

The monitor now shows 18,592 total lower memory and 5,408 in the largest
block. Telnet grabbed 50K of lower memory.Terminating Telnet brough the
numbers back to normal. To me, this use of lower memory is Chameleon's
biggest fault. The first 1MB is a critical Windows resource. When it is
gone, you start getting "not enough memory to run application" even
though you have lots of extended memory and lots of system resources.

Subject: increase font size for xwindemo ??


I have xwin installed on PC running trumpet winsock. I got the xwindow
showed up, but increadibly small. I could hardly read from the xterminal.
I have snooped around for for answer and gave up. I even tried to make
new fonts.dir for the xwin to use without success. The mkfontdir.exe came
with xwindemo complaint that my *.fon were invalid. It seemed to me that
the font file has to be converted from BDF file format. I have no  idea to
what BDF file is and where to get them. I am even not sure if this is the
problem, or there is some command in xterm to increase the font size.
If some kind soul knew how fix the problem, please email. I would greatly
appreciate any pointers. THANKS......

NetDDE is possible over TCP/IP.  Wfwg NetDDE is written by Wonderware Corp,
in Irvine, California.  Wonderware has additional enhancements to NetDDE
that Microsoft's Wfwg doesn't have, such as NetDDE over serial ports,
modem, TCP/IP, DecNET, connectivity to Vax anx Unix (even over Internet!)
as well as the standard NetBIOS interface.  Wonderware's NetDDE also doesn't
require Windows for Workgroups and works fine with Windows 3.1.

  Yes,  I  also have  trouble  running  Mosaic  but  I don't  think  the
problem is  caused  by  winsock.dll.  PC-NFS 5.0  doesn't  support DNS (next
version may).  Therefore  we  have  problems of  getting  ip-address of
those servers we  want to connect to!  Any  idea?  thanks,  too.
