Dear List: We get a lot of backpackers here who all want to use hotmail of course. There is a German webmail site which works with Arachne, but we have to tell the Hotmail clients to give up. I did have a Netscape 4.1 running on Windows 3.1 just to get into Hotmail, but recently that has stopped working as well - you get nearly through all the login protocol and suddebly you are thrown back to the start. The thing to do is to get either a server who will run NEOMAIL as a webmail program, or who will allow telnets, and be prepared to install arachne on other peoples computer. Kali PS after some months of frustration I eventually got a PPPD/chat login to work. all those different config files, and I have no idea how PPPD reads them.... The "expect send" sequence is tricky too... http://www.nimnet.asn.au/~kali ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Mar 2003 01:09:47 +00 From: "Bastiaan Edelman, PA3FFZ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Empty clipboard ? Hi Glenn, I made several trials. The first ones went wrong but if I 'un-yellow' the new written line the template is clean an can hold a new line. However there is a small drawback: to un-yellow I have to go to the end of the line and give an ENTER and that moves the written line and produces a blank line in between. Of course that blank line can undone... 3 key strokes to clear the template. Is there an easier way? BTW: Still using 1.61. I made so many changes and personal adaptions ;-) Followed your advise and looked at http://www.xms.ms and indeed no problems with Arachne. Sent my neigbours an e-mail about it and now it is up to them.

Hi Glenn, Unusual little trafic for the weekend. Even my own message to the list did not echo back. Only Kali did come through apart from those nasty generals. I'am not sure they were on the list (6 times) because I did delete without looking ;-) CU, Bastiaan On Sun, 09 Mar 2003 15:26:22 -0500, Glenn McCorkle wrote: > Hi Bastiaan, > The list is still up. > There has been very little traffic the last few days. > (with the exception 2-in-a-row from the generals son)<g> > On Sat, 08 Mar 2003 13:43:41 +00, Bastiaan Edelman, PA3FFZ wrote: >> Hi to all, >> It seems the list is down again ... but the 'genarals' are still on. >> 3 of them this morning plus 3 of them this night. >> Did they take over the Arachne List? >> So I made a little list of my last contacts... once there was a list >> posted of all Arachnoids to be used in case the list went down. >> Sorry I can not find it anywhere in my computer and it won't be accurate >> anymore. >> "Ross Virgin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> "Bob Dohse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> "Joerg Dietze" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> "Edenyard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> "Michal H.Tyc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> "Glenn McGorkle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> "Roger Turk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> "Bastiaan, PA3FFZ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Why not add names to the list of Arachnoids you are sure they want to >> receive the Arachne mail... just in case. >> Regards, Bastiaan > -- > Glenn > http://arachne.cz/ > http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ > http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 04:04:41 -0500 (EST) From: "Thomas Mueller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: RESENT: Shopping... > I once bought a PCI modem that was advertised to be capable of working > under DOS.

I assume the modem didn't need any special drivers in Caldera OpenLinux? Some Winmodems work in Linux with a special driver. DOS software tends to be behind the times in hardware support, making assumptions based on older interfaces such as ISA. I find comtool can't see my PCI modem at all, but chat0 or chat can, I hear the dialing. EPPPD does not work for the PCI modem as it did for the ISA modem. LSPPP with CHAT0 dialing works on the PCI modem and connects to the Internet. Ralf Brown wrote a PCI program to find hardware on the PCI bus, yet his RCBOM can't find my PCI modem. CONEX 7.1, however, dating to 1995 (?), accesses the PCI modem, too bad I don't have any BBSes to test on. I can't even setup Net-Tamer for my PCI modem because the setup only allows three hex digits for the base memory address, and the configuration file is in some nondocumented binary format, so I can't simply edit a text file. My PCI modem is on IRQ 11, base 0xd400. I haven't even checked http://www.nettamer.net/tamer.html to see if there were any updated in the last six months (?). I just conclude Net-Tamer is hopelessly backward and don't bother to follow it. ------------------------------ End of arachne-digest V1 #2070 ******************************
