Right ;-)
At work you could install ka9q/nos as a slipserver. There are a lot of
compilations around the world. I recommand nos10b, because it works
well for me. If you don't now how to setup a slipserver with nos:
get 'sliplog.zip' from biochemistry.cwru.edu /nos/utilitys or from
mvmpc9.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de /gopher/public/nos. This package contains
an access controlprogram, you should install at work and some samples,
showing the routing, the installation of the packetdrivers and so on...

Bye, Karl-Heinz

Subject: wsirc1.2 and winirc questions

I have downloaded both winirc and wsirc1.2 and have a question about each one.

In winirc, the command '/list -min 10' gets an empty list (i.e. headings but
no information), is this not a valid winirc command? I often don't want the
whole list.

In wsirc, I have two questions. The first is also connected to list. Wsirc
will accept the command '/list -min 10', but it prints out the list in a tiny
sliver next to the command window and none of the windows controls sem to have
any effect on this tiny window sizing. Is there away around this? My second
question is about chat mode. When I join a group the dialogue gets displayed
in the command window and each line has all the information possible (i.e.
server, group, etc.), with the actual message appearing at the end. It makes
for very awkward reading. Is there a way to get around this as well?

Thanks,
Paul

I didn't know this was supposed to be hard.  Maybe I just did the right thing
by accident.  Try setting your WinVN icon properties so the Working Directory
is the directory your WinVN program is in.  That's how I'm set up and that's
where my WINVN.INI file resides.

I haven't tried setting this to a =different= directory than the program, but
that would be worth a try to see if you can maintain multiple copies of NEWSRC
and WINVN.INI for different users (or for different news servers).  But even
if that doesn't work, the size of the WINVN executable and help file, etc are
small compared to the NEWSRC file.  So it wouldn't be the end of the world if
you had to maintain separate copies of the entire WINVN files for each user.

I =have= successfully done it that way.  I have two different news servers I
sometimes access and just created a complete installation of WinVN for each.
I haven't had time to experiment and see if I can do better.

Subject: Trumpet and Xwindemo - please help newbie

Warning: very stupid newbie questions about SLIP, Winsock, and Xwindemo,
but hope that some kind souls will help me anyhow.

Having seen posting of Xwindemo on the net, I decided to try it out and
see what it is like. So, I downloaded Xwindemo and Trupmet Winsock, and
thought that I was ready to roll. I first started Winsock, used the Setup
option to choose Internal SLIP, and use the script to dial up a SLIP
server. Winsock went through the username and password prompts, printed
out the IP address the server assigns me, printed a message like
"SLIP ENABLED", and then froze. Is that what's supposed to happen? (I
have used Telix to dial up to the same SLIP server, and if I type "SLIP"
after logging in, it also freezes. Why?)

No knowing what to do, I left the Winsock hanging and started Xwindemo.
I have no idea what the correct setup for Xwindemo is, but I ran it and
tried the different options anyway. I got a message about Winsock
being located, and a copule other non-error type messages. "Looks good",
I thought.  I tried to run the "rsh" option, giving it a hostname that I
know of, my user name on that host, and the command "xterm". No response.
I fiddled around with the XWin option (?), chose something like "single
window" and some other things, and started Xwindemo again. This time a
MS-type window came up, grey display area, and again, no other response.

I changed the parameters of the two software and started the whole
process many, many times. Some times I would get an error message from
Xwindemo during start up about the network being down.

Can some one tell me what I am doing wrong? Or tell me how to set up the
parameters on the two software? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Patrick

Subject: FTP server on Winsock? (ms tcp/ip beta)

Hello,

I recently switched to ms-tcp/ip on my wfwg configuration to allow for winsock
support.  However, the winsock provided in the daytona beta that I am using
does not permit the proper functioning of wftd from Alun Jones, or the FTP
server in qvtnet.  Both worked fine using Tattam's winsock, which did not run
well under wfwg 3.11

Anyone have any ideas why, or more importantly what ftp server could I use in
this configuration?

Thanks for any help.  E-mail preferred.

Trent

I'd like to see drag and drop capabilities to an ftp program.  For instance,
I'd love to have an ftp program open to some site and be able to drag a file
from the file manager and drop it on an icon and have the file transfered to
whatever the current directory is on the remote site.

Better yet, create an add-on to the file manager which would allow you to open
a ftp connection to another site as a window in the file manager; thereby
giving you a psuedo nfs mount.
