    I finally got a hold of the "new" SuperTCP v4.0 from Frontier Technologies.
Everything locally works great, it's the darn PPP connection that's kicking my
butt.
    I have a dialup PPP account through Netcom that works "flawlessly" with
Chameleon v4.0 but I can't get SuperTCP v4.0 to be happy with it.  Either
Netcom hangs up a few seconds into the call or it disconnects during the
"authentication phase."
    Anybody else been daring enough to try this package?

Subject: PC-NFS Telnet and WinMosaic

Using WinMosaic (any version as far as I can tell) with PC-NFS, I am
unable to get URLs of the form telnet://[e-mail]:port/ to
fire up telnet correctly. The username part gets presented in a dialog
box as expected but telnet *seems* to be passed some.where:port and is
unable to unpack it into its constituent parts.

Is there any way that I can use PC-NFS telnet with WinMosaic or do I
have to resort to (say) NCSA Telnet.

Many thanks,

Bret

Subject: Regarding Re: SMTP mail Client - SLIP

I'm trying to set up WS_GMAIL to work on my home PC using winsock with
dial-up SLIP with dynamic IP allocation.  Obviously, this is impractical
as a regular E-Mail address.  I have a VAX account E-Mail address which
uses SMTP protocol.  WS_GMAIL, however, only "listens" to my allocated IP.
QUESTION: Is there a way to have it "listen" to my VAX account instead?
I know you can do this with POP3 protocol machines (with WS_MAIL, Eudora,
etc).  Is it possible to get the SMTP server to listen to my account,
maybe by changing or adding a line to the WS_GMAIL.INI file??

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say that it's worth the WFW 3.11 upgrade - definitely! I was amazed at how
different from 3.1 it was a lot more that the .01 would imply - it seemed like
a whole new rewrite. This is especially true of the network end of things. Its
a lot less hassle, and a lot more aware of the existence of other simultaneous
protocols. The second beta (mtcpb2.exe "Dayona" the April Release) is the one
you want, they are active at fixing bugs and providing new features and the 2nd
is a definite improvement on the 1st (which was already very good) - ALSO,
its FREE once you have 3.11, and a cinch to install/remove.
