Subject: TSR virus checkers
ALL..........
I have been running the web, since November, without
my normal virus protection....the only virus watch I've
had on was my CMOS Boot Sector Write alarm....
Now I reactivated my DR PANDA virus protection, and
found:
(1) MONITOR stops Arachne from even cleaning th cache
(2) TSRMON stops EPPD from loading a packet driver,
which, or course, blows my login to my ISV
QUESTION - does anyone run any tsr virus protection with
Arachne....if so, what....I'm going to play with it, off-and-on
for the next few days, and see if there is any way to make
it work.....any thoughts are WELCOME..?????

Subject: Netdial for Arachne

Content-description: Mail message body
Klaus,
Here is how to use Netdial to establish a connection to your ISP,
and Install a packet driver at 0x60, and boot up Arachne:
Get these files from the c:\dialnet directory where you installed
bobcat:
ip-up.bat
path.cfg
setscrn.com
termin.com
epppd.exe
holdit.exe
netdial.exe
Place them in a directory called c:\netdial
You will need two other files to place in c:\netdial also:
l. Your netdial.scr file that you have used to connect to your
ISP. Here is mine, that I use to connect to INTOP ISP:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#NETDIAL.SCR file for Compaq deskpro 575 computer.
#Bobcat and Arachne.
# INTOP ISP
send "AT&F&C1&D2\r"
recv 15000 "OK"
send "ATDT3551527\r"
recv 75000 ":"
send "yourusername\r"
recv 60000 "sword:"
send "yourpassword\r"
recv 60000 "}"
#Since this works, the INTOP server needs nothing more.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is important to note that netdial.scr is the file that will
log you in to your ISP, arachne only does it to get your
email, but won't be establishing the connection, Netdial
will be doing that.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A packet driver can be prevented from loading if there is
much more on this script. I had to use the above netdial.scr
to get mine to work. Notice that after
send "yourpassword\r"
all I have is:
recv 60000 "}"
- -------------------------------------------------
Next, you will need this file in the c:\netdial directory:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
aracdial.bat
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
A copy of mine is being sent by attachment!
All you have to do to make arachdial.bat, is to take
bcatdial.bat and replace:
- -------------------------------------------------
:BOBCAT
rem packet driver loaded, so ready to start Bobcat
rem change to the Bobcat directory
cd .\bobcat
if exist history.htm del history.htm >nul
lynx -show_cursor -cache=5
rem change back to the Dialer directory
cd ..
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
With This:
- --------------------------------------------------------------
:ARACHNE
rem packet driver loaded, so ready to start Arachne
rem change to arachne directory, run arachne.bat
cd C:\ARACHNE
arachne.bat %1 %2 %3 %4
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
arachne.bat is the one in the c:\arachne directory
that is usually called by a.bat when starting Arachne.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of a.bat, I use one called web.bat, and it
is placed in the root directory c:\
At the DOS prompt, in any directory you happen to
be in, enter "web" (without the quotes") and web.bat
will start Netdial 1.3, which will then start Arachne!
Here is web.bat:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Echo Off
C:
cd C:\netdial
aracdial.bat %1 %2 %3 %4
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
It is important to use the directory c:\netdial, as web.bat
goes there, and looks for arachdial.bat.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes to your arachne.cfg file: Here is the summary
for that, and I have attached a copy of my arachne.cfg
file to this email for you: You can use it, but put your own
items in it, so it will work with your server to get email.
Most of the login items can be ignored, as you will be
using netdial to login to your ISP, and you won't be
using Arachne to dial in to your ISP, only to surf and get
your email, which netdial cannot do for you.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get your arachne.cfg file from your c:\arachne directory,
change it to reflect the following,making sure that the COM port
IRQ and modem speed, etc. are correct. These changes can be
made from within Arachne once this file is placed there.
Here is the important areas:
- ------------------------------
[profile]
Profile FASTPC.ACF
Connection READY
Hangup @termin.com 0x60>NUL
- -----------------------------
also this area:
- --------------
[tcp/ip]
IP_Address %MYIP%
IP_Grab IP address set to
NameServer 206.156.254.2
AltNameServer 206.156.2.0
Gateway 0.0.0.0
AltGateway 0.0.0.0
Netmask 0.0.0.0
TCPconfig LANTCP.CFG
- ---------------------
Both of these areas are important for Arachne to use the
Netdial setup.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it. In summary, you will not be using Bobcat, but
only the Netdial 1.3 files, and the others I have outlined
above. Everything will go in c:\netdial,
except for web.bat, (going in c:\ ) and arachne.bat,
which you already have in c:\arachne.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
To use:
at the DOS prompt, enter "web".
wait until the connection is made and the packet
driver is installed. Then, Arachne will boot up, and
you will see TCP/IP (green). You may now surf, and
get email, etc.
To disconnect, hit ALT-H, then ALT-X to end.
You cannot use ALT-D, you have to start over,
with "web" at the DOS prompt.
- ---------------------------------------------------
Hope this will do it.

Bernie and Klaus,
The whole thing was posted to the arachne list earlier this
evening. I am assuming that you have Bobcat running, and can get
some of the files from that. The aracdial.bat and arachne.cfg files
I cooked up were sent as attachments. I'll send those again to
Bernie by a separate (Pegasus) email.

Thanks,

Chipset CAN NOT have internal temperature sensor.
Realisation of termosensor at silicon is very hard job for now.
If you have ATX case, you may try to add one more fan, or
bigger copper radiator to CPU. Also try to open case and check work
without cover.

Subject: Load EPPPD High
Bernie,
Here is my mem.txt after making the changes to my config.sys
you recommended. Guess what! I now have enough to load
EPPPD high: Only had about 20 K before, now have 84K. When I
get EPPPD high, I'll have more to play with when I use Arachne!

Bernie,
Here is my mem.txt after making the changes to my config.sys
you recommended. Guess what! I now have enough to load
EPPPD high: Only had about 20 K before, now have 84K. When I
get EPPPD high, I'll have more to play with when I use Arachne!

Hello all, Bernie:
I got my EPPPD loaded high, and now have Dos memory (kb) of 148
showing on Arachne!, this is an increase from the 83 I had before.
Thanks to Bernie.<g>. I made these changes to my config.sys and
that was what allowed me to load EPPPD high:
- --------------------------------------
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE noems highscan
DOS=HIGH,UMB

Bernie,
I obtained a cpu fan kit and installed it on top of my cpu and
that fixed the overheating. These kits come with a new heat sink,
and also get a little tube of the "heat transfer stuff" to put
a little dab on the cpu before putting the heat sink and fan on
top. Your serviceperson<g> can do all that for you and also
check the main fan, and see if the machine needs a cleaning.
I saw one being cleaned outside of a shop once, and it was so
dirty they had to go outside to spray the cleaner on the
motherboard! I am assuming that your problem is cooling related.
If it never returns to a 400MHz then the shop might have to
replace something<g>.
You might do like I do, and get several old cheap computers, then
if one won't work, you'll have others!
Thanks,
Michael L. Dawley

There is a shareware Win9x utility called ViP, which allows DOS
programs to access a Windows-only communications device under
Win 9x. These include Winmodems, USB modems, and PCI modems.
You can download a demo at http://www.turbocom.com/vip.html

I don't think your problem with getting Bobcat to run on your COMPAQ
has anything to do with the program's compatibility with a COMPAQ machine.
For me, Bobcat purrs along just fine when running on my 8088 COMPAQ with
just 640K of memory.

Another problem with mail programs that convert ascii text to HTML is that
high ascii characters, needed for correspondence in "foreign" languages,
are not rendered and displayed properly as a result of the HTML conversion.

I leave my computer on all the time. When I leave my home, I turn off
the heat whenever I feel that inside temperatures will not plummet below
freezing as a result.
If the inside temperature goes down to about 35 degrees F, my computer will
crash. The hard drive will still be spinning. There's no way to reboot it
until inside temperatures again rise to about 65 degrees F. In the
summertime, my computer will crash if the inside temperature rises to about
85 degrees F.
I understand that computer crashes are very common at temperatures above
what is considered normal room temperature. I think it is highly unusual
for my computer to crash at temperatures of about 35 degrees F. Don't
most computers work OK at temperatures this cold?
Sam Heywood
P.S. Speaking of temperatures, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
where I live, we experienced today record-breaking high temperatures for
this time of year. It was a beautiful sunny day, 70 degrees F. Normally
we would expect temperatures ranging somewhere between zero degrees and
forty degrees F. for this time of year.

I have a COMPAQ 8088 "portable" PC, ca. early neolithic era, no Y2K

Subject: Re: Date errors
I have used Net Mail DOS 2.00, haven't used 2.12 yet. If you put the wrong date
in the .TXT file, would the server place its date/time in the headers? I didn't
notice that aspect. But the To-address in the .WRK file determines the
recipient, and it is thereby possible to send a message that goes through
without a To: line, or with the wrong address in the To: line. I could put the
correct address in the .WRK file, have a line To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the
message would show a line To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] but would go to the address
specified in the .WRK file. I once mistyped the second "arachne", and people on
this list wondered how a message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] found its way to the
list.
Running DR-DOS 7.03 on Cx486DX2-S at 66 MHz, I typed "date" some time after the
computer's clock passed the century-transitional midnight, and the year showed
as 2000. BIOS failed three different tests, downloaded from the Internet, for
being able to make the transition from 1999 to 2000.
