Hi!

    I am currently installing PC-Eudora (FreeWare version) in an environment
with PCs and IBM RS-6000 (with AIX operating system). The e-mail works fine (I
hardly can't imagine what the "good" version can add, but I will recommend its
adquisition).

    My only problem is the poppass server (that is running on AIX). The
documentation says that it is possible to run it in AIX systems, but I am
unable to do it. All seems to be good until the server forks a process to
run /bin/passwd. When it comes here, it hangs and Eudora gets no reply
(actually, if you telnet the server port, you also get no response at this
point).

    Could someone give me some information about installing the server
on AIX?. A modified font would be terrific, but I will be very grateful with
any other information.

  (Thanks you)

I dont want to spread rumours but I have tried to resolve this internally,
with no avail. The stack seems to run rather well, and maybe it is my
perception but I could swear tcp/ip apps run faster....
The problem is that evertime I try to access the FTP service (only for
incoming requests to an FTP server -- WinQVT inparticular) the machine either
reboots or locks up (ctrl-alt-del would do it, you need to reboot).
I had the same problem with sending mail using the POP3 protocol to a server.

Like I said, I dont want to spread fear--the problem may be my machines
config. Regardless, I have submitted a bug report.

Give it a try though, when I start win I am something like 600K free (conv
mem), and that is with a SCSI driver, a cdrom driver, msdlc, and smartdrv all
loaded in!!!

Subject: How to connect to the Internet?

Dear readers,

I'm currently preparing an article in the german computer mgazine
CHIP about services on the Internet. I would like to know how you get
your Internet-feed if you are not based in an university. I would be
very intersted to hear about commercial service providers,
esspecially for european based people, including an overview about
the costs involved through that service.

Since I don't read this list regulary, please e-mail me directly.

If you work in a company that provides such a service I would be very
glad to get in touch with your company.

Thanks in advance

FTP to FTP.FTP.COM and change to the the /support/pubdom directory.  You
should find the files DOG.EXE and DOGFONT.FON.  Dogfight requires at least a
386 with a 387 math co-processor, but we recommend that you not run it on
anything less than a 486/33.

Ok, so How do I keep the same IP address that I used yesterday, or last week?

And then two, how do I find out what the host name of the IP address that I
have is?

Thanks,

If your W3 client can do forms, try
    http://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/archieplexform.html

Works for me, anyway

Well, not just yet but there was a winsock developer who was
