- Hi,
-
- We are converting one of our pc-labs from os/2 to ms-dos with novell. We
- have a standard setup for ethernet-connected pc-s that include novell,
- tcp/ip and trumpet winsock.
-
- We have a novell-3.12 server if that matters, ipxodi, winpkt etc,
- are all the newest version available.
-
- This lab however is on token-ring. Is it possible to have this kind
- of a setup on token-ring? Novell works ok after some modifications
- but I encounter problems with the tcp/ip stuff.
-
- First of all, NCSA-telnet can't put packets on the network and second,
- winsock complains it needs blue-book- (whatever that means, I guess
- ethernet) or SLIP-networking
-
- Does soembody have this kind of setup working, and could she/he mail
- me her/his setup? I've included my setup so you all can see what I
- screwed up ;).

- Subject: Announcing WSGopher 6.0
-
- Announcing WSGopher 6.0
-
- WSGopher, Inc. is pleased to announce WSGopher version 6.0, the latest
- in a long line of information retrieval tools. The following summarizes
- the features of this new version.
-
- ** Network support
- WSGopher 6.0 supports all current WinSock stacks, and includes direct
- support for most other networks currently in use today.
- If WSGopher is installed on a computer without a network, it will
- attempt to locate a networked machine via the electrical power lines,
- and use that machines network access.
-
- ** Additional protocols supported
- WSGopher 6.0 continues to support the Gopher, Gopher+ and Gopher++
- protocols. In addition, a "state of the art" neural net enables
- WSGopher to support other information retrieval protocols, including
- but not limited to:
- - HTTP; WSGopher is now a full fledged World Wide Web client
- - Z30.50 protocol used by WAIS; WSGopher is now a WAIS client,
- eliminating the need to set up the Gopher server to do this
- - SMTP, POP and IMAP; WSGopher can now send and receive email
- directly, or function as a mail client
- - EDI and related protocols for electronic data interchange,
- including full support for electronic funds transfer; you can now
- do your personal banking with WSGopher, eliminating the need for
- writing checks to pay regular bills (see the section below on
- "Methods of Payment")
-
- The advanced neural net used by WSGopher is able to "learn" new
- protocols by analyzing the messages sent between a client and server.
- For instance, we ran WSGopher while using a popular news reader, and
- after a week WSGopher was also news client, with the added benefit of
- multimedia support. See for yourself how WSGopher displays images and
- movies posted to Usenet!
-
- ** "Virtual bookmarks"
- The same adaptive neural net mentioned above also gives WSGopher a
- distinct advantage by recognizing not only the full gamut of Gopher
- bookmark formats, but the 200+ variations on URLs. You can now use
- every variety of information locator in use today with WSGopher.
- WSGopher can also recognize simple English commands for locating
- information, such as "Please play the third song on that 8 track", and
- "Is this file on my latest backup?"
-
- ** Tachyon network support
- Probably the most important new feature of WSGopher 6.0 is it's support
- for the new "tachyon networks". As you know, tachyon networks allow
- server requests to be received before they are sent, and the more tachyon
- repeaters in a network, the earlier the delivery.
- WSGopher capitalizes on this in several ways:
- - allows for early delivery times to be scheduled during non-peak
- hours. This is particularly attractive for those trying to do
- Veronica queries, only to find that every server is busy.
- - whenever you make a request over a tachyon network, WSGopher
- checks the responses that have already arrived, and presents the
- appropriate ones if found.
- - If a response arrives but you've already changed your mind about
- making it, WSGopher will delete the response to avoid a paradox.
-
- ** Method of Payment
- You may use WSGopher free of charge for thirty days; after that,
- WSGopher will automatically deduct $15.00 from your bank account. This
- new form of payment is called "payware"; you never see an annoying
- message, and it keeps our costs down.
- Government and educational users will continue to use WSGopher free
- of charge.
-
- ** Problem reporting
- Use the Problem Report dialog in the Help menu to report any and
- all problems you may experience. WSGopher will automatically mail it
- to the appropriate address, along with a $1.00 handling fee deducted
- from your bank account.
-
- ** Availability
- WSGopher 6.0 is available for most personal workstation platforms
- beginning today, April 1, 1997.; FTP to ftp.wsgopher.com and get the
- file wsg-60.exe from pub/aprilfools.
-
- Thank you,
- WSGopher, Inc.
