     I have seen  alot of requests for this but not many answers. Can someone
tell me if there is a better IRC client for Winsock than WINIRC? The MAC has
some extremely nice programs like Homer and such and I was wondering if there
was such a thing for Windows.

Subject: Chameleon Mail --> Reply


Hello All,

I would appreciate some help from Chameleon 4.0 users. Although I'm able to
receive my e-mail through the "mail" program, the "send" function does not seem
to be working. The messages stay in the "outbox". I'm not sure if this is a
setting problem or a bug in the program.

thanks in advance for you help.

Subject: WinQVT/Winsock can't find Winsock.dll

I'm trying to run WinQVT, and have a strange problem. It won't run unless
another application that uses the Winsock DLL has already loaded the DLL
(such as Mosaic, or NCSA Finger). Why are these applications able to find
and load the DLL on their own, and QVT is not? What am I missing in the
setup? I even have the Winsock dll in my path....

My sysadmin mentioned that some winsock applications might not run if
they weren't in the same directory as the winsock dll, but this seems
incredible (I don't want to have to put all of QVT in c:\net\ftp, for
instance). What's the solution?

Thanks!

I'm running PC/TCP V2.22 and I also am seeing timeouts.  A few small queries
were successful, but I get timeouts for big queries that should return many
hits.  Sometimes a few packets are received, other times nothing.

I just downloaded wsarchie.zip from ftp.sunet.se but I keep getting timed out
messages  (8,16,32 sec) and then I get the message :
winsock archie client timed out (ardp).

It happens with all the archie servers I choose.

(I'm using FTP's PC/TCP V2.3)

What's wrong?

Subject: Winsock-based Mailing List servers?

Greetings...
    Have any readers of this group heard of a winsock-based mailing list server?
I'd like to start a mailing list here, but we're limited to a Windows
platform. I'm looking for something similar to majordomo in the Windows
environment. Anyone know of anything like this?
    Obviously, I have other choices: run Linux and just use LISTSERV or
Majordomo, or use a powerful Win-based mail program and do most of the work
myself. Any suggestions about how to proceed would be appreciated...
    Gary

Subject: irc probs.

ok so i scoffed at those who asked before but now that i have a working setup
for irc i need to know how to do /me and /si and /singoff commands which this
winirc won't let me do. is there something i'm missing? i believe the dos ver
i have of this works with these commands but for some reason the win one is
picky. also fro anyone having probs with the "everything i type is a command
not text prob." try    irc.uiuc.edu     it cleared up my prob with talking.

Subject: Experimental weekend FTP server open (again!)

OK, I'm going to try it again.  I'm opening up my PC as an ftp server over the
weekend.  THIS IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE A PERMANENT FTP SERVER.  I'm just doing
an experiment to see how well the software holds up.  Last weekend it
didn't hold up so well.  This weekend I'm going to try to do some things a
little differently.

Any of you who may have tried this last weekend might not have been lucky
enough to get on my machine and check out what's there.  Those of you who did
get to logon, I hope you found something useful there.

**WHERE*****************
Do an anonymous ftp to 128.183.22.177 and use your e-mail address as a password
(you need an @ in there somewhere to make it work).

**WHEN******************
>From the time you read this today, Friday March 18th, to whenever I get to work
Monday morning, March 21st, usually around 7:30am EST (12:30 GMT).  If things
go as well as last weekend, you'll have until sometime on Saturday before the
software quits.  Let's hope it works better this weekend.

**WHAT******************
You'll find there in the /pub directory four .txt files.  One's a welcome file,
the other three are index lists for the subdirectories.  I suggest you read the
welcome file first and then come back and look around.

Of particular interest might be the bitmaps I have of lots of castles in
Germany.  Some are really spectacular.

**WHAT ELSE*************
You'll be logging into a 486 DX2 66MHz machine with 16MB memory running MS-DOS
6.2, Windows 3.1, and using NetManage's ChameleonNFS 4.0.  You'll be
reading from a 128MB rewritable optical drive.  Although these drives are not
slow, they're not the fastest either.  If you get a slow but steady download,
then things are doing fine.

However, if things seem REALLY SLOW, for instance, if it takes more than a couple
seconds to get a text file, PLEASE LOG OFF AND TRY AGAIN LATER.  An absurdly
slow system probably means too many people are logged in at the same time.

If you happen to be using WS_FTP, there's a Chameleon setting that works great.

**FINALLY***************
Drop me an e-mail message if you have any problems, or even if you don't have
any problems.  If you think of it, let me know the day and approximate time
you logged on.

That's about it.  Happy FTPing!

Subject: WSARCHIE & Trumpet


I am having trouble getting WSARCHIE to work with Trumpet V1 Beta #2

Has anyone been able to get WSARCHIE to work with the beta version
of Trumpet Winsock?

I get a timeout with a senddir error after 32 seconds.

Another archie client works fine.

Telnet, FTP, Mosaic, etc work correctly.
