Could somebody post something that might help me install it properly?

I'd say email me, but you can't..not until SMTP..works.

Any help is welcome.  Thanks!

Subject: WinVN Questions

I've been using WinVN for a while now, and I can't figure out how or
whether its authors implemented: (a) a killfile, (b) suppression of
already-read articles (not just changing their color - I wanna see
those numbers decline), or (c) enabling sig file usage across sessions
without having to reenable it each time (even poking the sig file info
into winvn.ini does no good)...

Anyone out there have answers to any or all of these puzzles?

Subject: Using TCP-IP software without a network

Hello,
I'm going to be away from my net access for a few months this summer.
But I need to be able to do some Winsock developement.  What I want to do is
enable a loopback address.  I'm using Peter Tattam's Winsock.
What I need to know is if this can be done and if so how?
Can I just put 127.0.0.1 in the Winsock setup?
What can I do for a dummy Packet Driver? What about the Crynwr library?
Can I fake BOOTP?  How about DNS?

Thanks,
           Wes

Subject: RE: TCPMAN

If you checkout the pull down under FILE, SETUP, there is a setting for
Demand Load Timeout.  This is the number of seconds that TCPMAN will
remain active after you launch an application that causes tcpman to
be loaded.  I believe you must also set the Automatic login/logout
under the DIALLER, OPTIONS screen in order for this to take effect.
There is also a slip inactivity timeout on that configuration screen
which is how long TCPMAN waits when no applications are attached before
it terminates (this one is in minutes whereas the other one is in seconds)

Well, you _could_ wait, or you could use cybercom.drv from CyberSoft,
available at the better ftp sites.  From the cybercom.txt file accompany-
ing the driver:

CyberCom is a direct replacement for the standard Windows
Communications Driver (COMM.DRV).

* Transfer at up to 115,200 KB with a 16550 serial port chip
* Great for V.FAST and Voice modems that require 57,600 Kb
* More reliable Transfer with less overhead on your system - Better
  background operation.
* Fewer (if any) over/under runs.

Currently I'm trying to install Mosaic in a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 enviornment and I have not been successful. I'm using the Microsoft DOS TCP/IP  1.0a protocol with winsock.dll installed. Whenever I bring up Mosaic and try to connect to an http site I get the error message "Failed DNS Lookup" or get thrown out to DOS. I know for a fact that DNS is up and running. Can someone tell me if there is a current version of the winsock.dll file that I should be using and if there is, where can I get it. Pleas
e feel also let me know if you think that my problem is something other than my winsock.dll file.

The two versions that I tried are dated:6/18/93  and  2/2/94

Subject: Recs for GOOD MAIL PROGRAM

Can someone please recommend a good PC mail reader program, one that has all
the perks of Eudora without the bugs? I'm using a SLIP account with
Windows 3.1 and Trumpet Winsock.  Eudora has been trashing my letters before I
get to read them.  QVTWinsock is too stripped down.  I need to be able to
import text, and ideally, filter incoming mail into different mailboxes.  But
any improvement over the abovementioned would be greatly appreciated.  Please
write or post.  Thanks!

I have a similar configuration, but I don't know how to get the Winsock
stuff to report the speed. I know how to get it when running KA9Q in DOS,
but who do you know what speed things are running at when using Winsock?

You might want to try WinPMail, otherwise known as Pegasus Mail.  It isn't
perfect, but it has mail filtering, which saves me a lot of time.  The setup
is very easy, too.   You can find it at risc.ua.edu in /pub/network/pegasus.

Western Digital has released a special driver that fixes this problem and improves the performance of their newer drives by taking advantage of some of their special features.  I think I saw it on CICA or WUArchive.  I'll repost if I see it again.  Otherwise you could call WD and probably get it.

I thought I grabbed it to put it on some local BBSs.  I may have it on my machine at home.  E-mail me if you want me to UUENCODE it and e-mail it to you if I indeed have it.

Subject: Network names


Hello folks,
I am in the process of porting a program
from a UNIX to a windows platform.
In BSD UNIX there is a call:

struct netent *getnetbyaddr(net, type)
long net;
int type;

which uses the domain name server to supply
the name of a network given its address.
I can find no support for this call within
the WinSock API. Does anybody know if this
functionality is catered for? Can I use
the gethostbyaddr call with a network address
to acheive the same result?

Any advice gratefully received.

Are you running wpmail311.zip form risc.ua.edu?
Works just fine for me on a slip line.
