Re: Entourage-Talk Digest - 09/06/01
Mac Carter -- What¹s the difference between a regular Ethernet cable and a Crossover cable? A crossover cable has some of the leads switched, so that no hub is needed to make that switch. You can generally connect two Ethernet devices directly with a crossover cable, obviating the hub. The only reason this is uncommon is that most networks, almost by definition, include more than two devices. Hope that helps. -- Clayton Bennett [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To search the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/

Re: Checking mail on connection
Thanks, Allen, I should have thought about looking at that - I have the schedule set to check every 10 minutes, but didn't realize I could also set it to check on startup. Now what about when E'rage is running and I connect? I usually leave E'rage on all the time and just put the computer to sleep at night, so in the morning I connect but don't start E'rage up.

Re: Checking mail on connection
No, there's no way to do that. (I was starting to reply earlier, but had a big computer crash.) You'd have to have an applescript placed in something called OSA menu which you could get, or as an applet in Apple menu or on your desktop, which would on clicking it first start up Remote Access , then tell Entourage to check mail, and use that instead of your usual way of connecting via the RA panel. But really it's not worth the trouble. As soon as you connect to the internet, click Entourage to the front and press command-M. -- Paul Berkowitz From: Jan Martel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Entourage:mac Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2001 08:38:32 -0700 To: Allen Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED], Entourage mac Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Checking mail on connection Thanks, Allen, I should have thought about looking at that - I have the schedule set to check every 10 minutes, but didn't realize I could also set it to check on startup.

Only if I'm willing to wait for as much as 10 minutes when it connects - what I'd like it to do (which I happened to notice is what Eudora does, when I was using it for a few days), is recognize that a connection has just been established and check the mail immediately.

Re: Checking mail on connection
Jan, it could be done, but it would be little complicated. You'd need a schedule running an AppleScript. It would run every minute: while you're not connected, its script would just check (via Network Setup Scripting application that comes with every Mac but is awkward to script) if you were connected to the Internet or not. As soon as it detected you were online (on average 30 seconds after you connect, never more than a minute), it would execute Send Receive Schedule immediately, which would detect that you were now connected would run and reset its 10-minute schedule from that point on. The script would then shift modes. It would still run every minute, also checking to see if you were connected, but would do nothing if you were. As soon as it detected you were not connected, it would shift modes again and start looking out to see when you got connected again. Now isn't it easier just to press command-M as soon as you connect to the internet? It's true that the system above would work even with Entourage in the background, of course, whereas to do cmd-M or Run Schedule you do have to bring E to the front first. -- Paul Berkowitz On 9/7/01 3:09 PM, Jan Martel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Only if I'm willing to wait for as much as 10 minutes when it connects - what I'd like it to do (which I happened to notice is what Eudora does, when I was using it for a few days), is recognize that a connection has just been established and check the mail immediately.

Re: Off topic: More Moving to new computer tips
It certainly didn't happen in 30 seconds for me - I waited patiently for at least a couple of minutes, even went away and did something else. I later thought that perhaps the get info allow sharing on the HD wasn't effective without a restart. But perhaps it was just some strange glitch in my computers.
