To: Jorge Alex Ortega,
I try to send my mail I wrote to you to the list because yahoo says you
don't have an adress there at : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello J. Ortega,
you wrote to the Arachne list that you have tested Arachne on many
computers. One of them was a Compaq Contura 4000. It has a special
display and you had to install an universal UNIVESA software adapter.
I have a similar problem because I use an old IBM 9517 semi fixfrequency
monitor. Arachne is only visible in a very flickering and distorted
image. I looked for UNIVESA and found the SciTechDisplayDoctor. With
this Doctor I got a very good Arachne image. But Arachne could not
establish a PPP link any more. Miniterm dials and gets a connection to
my provider and then the screen says: "leaving miniterm trying SLIP/PPP"
and after a time "no PPP link". Then I cleared out the DisplayDoctor and
Arachne is able to connect like before.
Did you have a similar experience? If yes, how did you solve the problem?
Which adaptor did you use? Please, give me the exact name so I can try
it.
I would appreciate any help. I am a beginner with computers so, please,
be very detailed with informations.
You probably have noticed my bad English but it is not my mother
language.
Looking forward to your answere
Gerald
P.S.: I do not understand what happend to the same text I sent as an
attachment to the List on 5. Jan.
