In my search for a BBS that our local MAC users group could use on our LocalTalk/Ethernet/Broadband system I ran across 1stBBS.
It is kinda a long story but those of you who "remember" 128k of RAM might remember 1stBase, the first (I think) relational database for the MAC. That company (resold) still exists (sorta, their primary business is TUBING FABRICATION) and offer an inter
sting line of communication products that might be of interest to MUG's and Mac BBS operators.
Attached is the remote required to access the company's (1stDESK) "FREE" BBS via 800 number. 1-800-232-4283.
The whole thing must really "MAC LIKE" because I got it running before reading the READ ME which is also attached.
After UNBINHEXing and UnStuffing. Double click on the "1stDESK Settings" Icon. Then edit the two "Settings..." (User & Connection) selections under the EDIT menu.
CONNECTION Settings:
You gotta figure that one out yourself but is is really pretty "MAC LIKE" :-) if you know how your modem is set. You will have to modify the number dialed if you going through a PBX or such.....
USER Settings:
The system password is not used.
You pick you own USERNAME.
->It is requested that users who get this from info-mac and down
->stream use the password "norm" when initially configuring. This
->will aid 1st Desk in a head count they want. After your initial
HyperFTP is a HyperCard stack that acts as an FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
client. With it you can transfer files between your Macintosh and FTP host
computers over the TCP/IP internet. You must have HyperCard version 1.2 or
later, and MacTCP (Apple Computer's TCP/IP drivers) installed. MacTCP is
available for about $100 from APDA (800/282-2732).
New in version 1.3:
o A zoom feature on the directory entries field that will switch between a
names-only list and a full directory list.
o File tranfers can be cancelled more reliably.
o A bug that sometimes caused MacBinary and BinHex receives to crash has
been fixed.
o About a million little things have been changed that I can't list here.
I would again like to thank all the people who sent me their excellent
comments and suggestions.

Downloaded it from the ftp site, and since there has been interest expressed
in mime file interchange for the mac thought I'd post it here. I currently
use Eudora 1.3.1
Iride
=====
Iride is (or will be) an implementation of a MIME user agent on
the Apple Macintosh computer.
Its was developed as part of a project of the GNBTS - Gruppo Nazionale Bioingegneria sezione di Trieste, for the integration of multimedia mail with the hospital data storing facilities, in particular for the transfer of bioimages.
This is a far from a complete MIME implementation, but I think
it is quite usable.
To use it you need:
- Macintosh with MacTCP 1.1 or better installed
- 32 bit ColorQuickDraw if you want to use images
- audio input device if you want to create audio messages
- connection to a SMTP mail relay
- connection to a POP3 server
MIME types supported:
text/plain charset=US-ASCII only
text/richtext (there is not a composing tool for richtext yet)
audio/basic
audio/X-macaudio generated sending a NOT sampled audio pasted in
image/GIF
image/X-macPICT generated when color QuickDraw is missing only

Dear Info-Mac,
Enclose you will find version 1.3 of my Kermit tool for the
communications toolbox. When combined with a compliant app,
such as Termy or ClarisWorks (or any of the Works programs),
allows the user to use the Kermit file transfer protocol
common among university mainframes.
This version is basically an enhancement from the previous
release with quite a few tweaks and featurelets.
I suggest it be stored as

Subject: [*] KillEM FKEY
KillEM FKEY
I wrote this small FKEY (563 bytes) to turn off the Express Modem
background software for Apple's Express Modem on the PowerBook
and PowerBook Duo line. It looks for any currently running EM software,
and sends it a 'quit' event, or beeps if it can't find the EM
software. This effectively turns off the modem and reduces demands
on the PowerBook's processor, extending the time between battery
charges. You could use the Express Modem control panel, but I
think that takes too much time. :-)
This works fine for me on my PowerBook 180. I don't know if it
will work with the Duo software, but I think it should. Let
me know if you have troubles or know something I don't.

Here is MacLayers 1.30 for the archives. It should replace
comm/maclayers-120.hqx. I will send the necessary UNIX server
files separately.
MacLayers version 1.30 is a freeware vt100 terminal emulator that
allows multiple terminal windows to be opened to a host simultaneously
over a single serial connection. The remote host computer must be a
UNIX(TM) system which has sockets support. Each terminal window may be
associated with a shell, login to a different host, or an individual
command. New features since 1.20 include...
The UNIX side has been ported to run on many new platforms including
IRIX, AIX 3.2, SVR4, etc. (Not Solaris yet.)
Support for a UNIX side .layersrc file to automatically startup and
place windows when layers mode is started.
Separate user settings and logfiles; each can be saved independently
from the other; settings act as startup documents.
Improved/reorganized keyboard support.
Longer dial strings, mouse support under emacs, new Finder icons, etc.
To use MacLayers, you need to get both the Macintosh MacLayers client
application and the UNIX server programs. They are packaged separately.
You will have to compile the latter.

Date: 17-FEB-1994 16:36:34.10
Hi-
MacPager 1.0 (TM) (demo) is a program which will notify you remotely when you
receive an incoming call or calls. Unlike a few other programs with some
of the same features, MacPager is quite flexible, and will work on almost
any Mac platform and modem. As long as your Mac can properly talk to your
modem via the "AT" command set, this program will work for you.
MacPager (TM) will notify you at a beeper, regular telephone, carphone, or
deposit a message on an answering machine. If you have Caller ID, and a Caller
ID modem, it will also relay the incoming CID data to you. A Call Log stores
the incoming call data (as well the success or failure of remote notification)
for later retrieval, and will, at your discrection, make automatic backups
to your disk or hard disk.
The program a Binhxed file of a "self-extracting" Compact It 'capsule'
containing the MacPager (TM) 1.0 demo.
Feel free to use, copy, and distribute the encapsulated version at will.
It's free (hey, it's only a demo :) ), but please don't distribute the
"extracted" file, since you may unintentionally leave out the info files.

Hello,
This folder contains a primitive security system for the MUBBS BBS system. It's merely a modified log in module that allows new users to sign up, but will time them out as soon as they reach the main menu. I am uploading this module with the permission of the MUBBS authors. I did the modification myself.
MUBBS is, to my knowledge, the only freeware BBS program available for the macintosh. Version 1.1 is available from mac.archive.umich, and the most recent version is available from the MUBBS Support BBS at (805) 259-6407. There's good support for MUBBS available, so I highly encourage anyone looking for a BBS program to check it out!.

This file shoudl be named something like "QWK-1.30.sit.hqx" Please direct any comments or replies regarding this submission to TheBob@AOL.COM. (I very seldom use the bebrown@sdcc13.ucsd.edu account which I am sending this from.)
File follows...
---------------
QWK 1.30
This is a simple QWK-format offline mail reading package.
In order to use it, you also need a good text editor, and
a program to extract the contents of .ZIP files. I recommend
BBEdit 2.2 and UnZIP 2.0, together with a patch that's floating
around out there to add word-wrapping capability to BBEdit.
Of course, you need a terminal program too.
Instead of staying online, connected to a BBS for
many minutes, or sometimes even hours, reading th emessages, and
composing your replies to them, many BBSes now offer you
the option of downloading all your new messages as a
.QWK packet. You can then decode and read the messages offline,
compose your replies, and upload your replies in the form
of a .REP packet. Even if it takes you hours to read and
reply to all your messages, you only have to spend a
few minutes actually connected to the BBS.
This package consists of a program called QWK, which will
convert the contents of a .QWK packet into a readible text
file, which you may read with any text editor, and another
program called REP, which will take a text file created by
you, containing all of your replies and new messages,
and convert it to a .REP packet that yu may upload to
the BBS to post your messages.

Date: Fri, 17 Jul 92 22:07:15 -0700 (PDT)
This is a program that a friend of mine wrote. It will allow you to
read messages produced by "QWK" compatible message archiveing doors,
typically found on PC-based BBS's. Using these doors, you can "pack"
all of your new messages into a single file, download that file, and
read it "offline" (while NOT connected to the BBS) at your convenience.
This saves in telephone charges and time on the phone, especially if you
are calling a long distance BBS.
This program is currently rather crude. It will only "de-crypt" the
messages, and place them in an ASCII text file. It is up to you to read
the messages (using a separate text editor or word processor), and it
is up to you to compose replies, by logging in to the BBS and typing
them yourself. This is explained below.
This program is being written with little or no knowledge of the format
of QWK packets and ".REP" reply packets. Therefore, any information you
can provide would be extremely helpful to the author. It will enable
him to add more features to this program, including message reading
while within the program, automatic creation of reply ".REP" packets,
etc. If you have this information, PLEASE send a message to either the
author, or me (from Internet: dburr@sbphy.physics.ucsb.edu or
DonaldBurr@aol.com; America Online: DonaldBurr)
This program has been tested on a variety of Macs, running under various
flavors of system software. It is System 7 compatible, and is 32-bit
clean. It has also been tested with various PC BBS's and QWK doors.
This file is compressed using StuffIt 1.5.1, which just about any pro-

the directory. (Include your e-mail address for faster response.)
Amateur Radio Repeater Directory has been customized to fit on the
PowerBook screen. That makes it ideal for talking along on trips and
to the field day site.
Amateur Radio Repeater Directory is network aware. It (or, more correctly,
FileMaker Pro) will allow you to run it over the network with multiple
clients logged in. This means that several people can access the directory
at one time. For example, your desktop Mac and your base rig can use it
at the same as your mobile and radio connected PowerBook. (You do have
a packet radio connection to your AppleTalk network don't you?)

Date: Fri, 3 Jun 1994 07:32:24 -0400
Here's rnMac 1.3b2, an offline newsreader for use with UUPC/MacSlurp and
ToadNews. It should probably be put in the info-mac/comm directory as
rnmac13b2.cpt.hqx, and you should trash the old copies of rnMac currently
there and in the info-mac/comm/net directory (they are very much out of
date).
Changes in this version of rnMac include the following:
June 1 - v1.3b2
- fixed problem with loading sigfile when posting an article (thanks Ernst!)
- added Subject/Date threading feature (works fast and sort of well)
- enabled Edit menu choices (Cut/Copy/Clear) after shift-arrowkey selection of text
- when saving articles, rnMac now checks to see if the file exists, and gives the user the option to append or overwrite the file when appropriate
- added NEWSRCNAME setting and multi-user capabilities
- added code to recognize open documents, so you can double-click on a settings file to launch rnMac
- fixed problem with rmail command for headers like RTo: rrwood@io.org (Roy Wood)S or RTo: Roy Wood <rrwood@io.org>S (according to RFC 1036, those are the only legal forms that caused problems)
- fixed up the RSave As TextfileS code for saving multiple articles
- when saving textfiles and using the article subject as the filename, colons are now translated to spaces, so as not to confuse the file manager
- the system part of the filenames of spooled UUCP files are now truncated to 6 or fewer characters, so as not to confuse older (traditional?) UUCP implementations; let's hope this doesn't upset MacSlurp
- support for multiple monitors has been implemented, I think (can someone test this for and let me know if it works, please?)
- help screen is now non-modal
- settings editing screen is now non-modal
- better tolerance for missing settings implemented (uses defaults in application resource fork, making it easier to update old settings files now)
- text font/size menu now works correctly
- added support for "USETEXTEDIT" setting, which may provide support for WorldScript (can someone let me know if they can get a non-english system such as Chinese or German to work?)
- added ISO-8859 translation using A. Pirard's 'taBL' resource tables
- added support for "TRUNCATEUUCPNAME" setting
- if an original article has been deleted and the alias is then opened, that article is now marked as read, and hilighting of the article header in the list is correctly handled
- "Save Newsrc" menu option is back
- pasting in the registration dialog is enabled
- added support for "BACKGROUNDRGB" setting and setting the background colour via the colour picker on machines with colour QuickDraw
- fixed WRAPTEXT handling in TextEdit mode (remember this only affects displayed articles, not outgoing news/mail)
- added GB <Q> HZ conversion code for Chinese text (I hope it works!)
- added support for DOHZ2GBAUTO setting
- added silly little emoticons menu for pasting into outgoing mail/news; to customize the available items, use ResEdit or Resourcerer....
- added support for required Apple Events (Open Application, Open Document, Print, Quit) and ToadNews "thread all newsgroups" events, so rnMac now functions correctly as a ToadNews-invocable threader (i.e. when it receives the appropriate Apple Event from ToadNews, it threads all newsgroups and then quits)

If you answered yes to any or all of the above, you should try my menus!
Use ResEdit to paste these new menu resources into a COPY of your ZTerm
0.9, 0.92XK, or 0.95XK replacing all existing resources.
Let me know what you think, and if you do like these please let the author
of ZTerm know so he can include the changes in a future version of his
program.

Subject: ZTerm Speed Patch
This ResEdit color palette may speed up ZTerm's performance
at high speeds (>=9600 bps.) If you don't need color, simply
set your monitor to black and white. The following is from the
ReadMe file:

How it works:
Changing the code resource makes ZTerm call _GetNewCWindow, instead of
_GetNewWindow. When a program calls _GetNewCWindow, GetNewCWindow looks for a
resource of type pltt with the same id as the window. It finds the palette
copied into ZTerm, and loads it. When ZTerm tries to change the colors, the
palette manager uses the closest available colors, which should be the ones in
its palette (since there are only 16 colors). When ZTerm is normally used in
16 color mode, the colors are very hard to read, because it has to use the
available colors. It takes half as long to draw a character on the screen in
4-bit mode (16 colors) then it does to draw one in 8-bit (256 colors) mode.
Running in 16 colors should make ZTerm display the screen twice as fast (if
your modem is fast enough).

This version replaces my previous upload, which contained the
instructions, but not the color palette. A Stuffed, BinHexed
