iinet ADSL Problem - Update
Back on the air again via dial-up. First thanks to all who have sent helpful suggestions. I spent hours on the phone to iinet speaking to Stephen with no resolution to the problem. For any who are interested read on, the position is as follows. 1. OS 9 is supposedly supported. I referred Stephen to the section of the Standard Form of Agreement quoted by Lara. He found it but said it is not correct. My husband made the application and he does not remember reading that bit, but as he had a phone call about the death of a friend whilst he was doing it maybe his concentration was not as good as usual. 2. The ADSL Modem connects to iinet and all the addresses are supplied by the DHCP Server. As Onno guessed they do not use the DHCP Client ID. 3. I got IPNet Monitor. It costs $30 but you have a 3 week free trial period. I shall definitely purchase it. 4. When connected via ADSL the only address I could ping was the IP address. When I connect via dial up I can ping the iinet and Curtain DNS addresses. 5. Stephen wondered if the IP address was faulty as I always got the same one, so far only 50 people are connected to BLIINK. They checked it out and rang back to say it worked OK. 6. They asked if I had a fire wall. Answer NO. 7. They have decided it is something else on my computer which is causing the trouble and want me to take it in (plus the modem) and let Justin (their Mac expert) have his way with it. 8. Answers to other questions. Are you using PPPoE or static Ethernet? I don't know, I selected PPPoE on the screen which comes from the modem (in Netscape 4.77). Are you on iinet's new Blink contract? YES Are you using OS 9 or OS X for your connection? OS 9.2 Are using the Dlink DSL 300 modem? YES Are you still using your internal modem? Only when I want to access the Internet via dial-up to send emails! I am afraid some of Richard's queries were too technical for me as I am not OS X savvy. 9. I thought I would try using the iBook. In OS 9.1 I got a message that there was not room for another account but it would not let me delete the old one. In OS X.O Internet Explorer loaded the page from the modem but kept giving me an error message saying it could not load the panel to access the page even though I could see it. I had to force quit several times but eventually deleted the old account and added the new one but every time I clicked on Connect IE produced the error message and the rolling ball. I gave up! 10. I tried in OS X.1.2 on the G4. Using IE I managed to access the page in the modem, it still had the correct details but the bottom half of the page was missing. I tried restarting everything but I got a message that the server was not accepting connections ie 192.168.0.1, the page in the modem, was now inaccessible. I rebooted in OS 9.2 and got the same thing. First time I got half the page then nothing. I gave up and went to bed. This morning I tried a again, same story. But when I dialed in this morning and looked at my connection history there are two last night for 4 and 9 sec durations, probably from the iBook though the connection was too short to register on the screen. 11. When I changed the configuration in TCP/IP to use dial-up I noticed it had strange addresses in it, normally when you access the page in the modem it has the IP and server addresses as 192.168.0.1. This time I had IP 169.254.229.238, Server 224.0.9.251, the router was the same as the IP and the subnet mask was 255.255.0.0 (it is usually 255.255.255.0). 12. So I got rid of the settings and tried again. I got the full page this time and it indicated I was already CONNECTED to iinet, usual IP and gateway addresses. Netscape 4.77 kept telling me repeatedly that it could not connect to 192.168.0.1. I had to cancel the notice and quit quickly before it came up again. The connection history shows a 2 sec connection. Conclusion: I think it is gremlins and quite beyond me to solve. We have ordered a router and wireless connection from WA Solutions so I think paying them to sort it out will be the least stressful option. Diana
Home for old but working Macs/PCs - East Timor?
Hi, I have a few old Macs (Quadra 605s mostly) and some PCs of a similar vintage that I would like to send to a new home. I recall there was a contact who could send such machines to a new home where they would be appreciated. East Timor was such a destination. I no longer have the contact information. Does anyone here have that info? Other ideas on who may want these beasties would be appreciated. I am not permitted to give these machines to any individual who wants one. They must go to a charity, or a school, or else be disposed of by auction in the usual maner.

Re: G3 and G4 printing to Kyocera Network printer qn
Kyocera does not use real Postscript, it's a clone. It will produce unpredictable results. Our one prints gibberish on every page after the first. That's when it doesn't give a postscript error. Worked ok most of the time under Mac OS 9 though :) Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer It must be bunnies! Opinions for hire [POQ] [EMAIL PROTECTED] fnord

Hi All, Was wondering if anyone knew how hard it was to get the Apple Only RAM slot in the new iMac G4? Cheers Erik Once you remove the base plate, you then need to get inside the rest of the machine. Reassembly requires use of thermally conductive paste (and possibly thermal gaskets as well, I'm not sure). If you don't do that then you run the risk of the machine overheating.

Spam Newsletter
Hiya all, Most people have heard that there's a lawsuit going on between a notorious spammer and someone who has made a stand against his marketing practices. Joe McNicol (ie the good guy) has got a couple of web sites going, and an email list so that he can distribute a newsletter to let people know what develops. Below is the first newsletter. Rgds, Phil From: Fighting Spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Can 'O' Spam Newsletter Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2002 15:36:10 +0800 == The CanoSpam Newsletter Your weekly anti-spam roundup Brought to you by Joey Fights Spam SpamSuit http://www.joeyfightsspam.org/ http://winchester.ii.net/spamsuit/ == Volume 1, Issue 1 Under the lid of this weeks can * Editorial - Enough is enough * News Flash: Mansfield Still Spamming! * Case Update: Lawyers need more time * Help Joey Fight Spam! * Protest Actions * In Closing Editorial - * Enough is enough Firstly, welcome to the first edition of The CanoSpam. This will hopefully be our weekly newsletter to keep you up-to-date not only on Joeys case but also the internationalfight to stop junk email from getting to your inboxes. Its been a really hectic time since the 31st of May when the story firstbroke in The Australian. Its the first time that an anti-spam campaigner anywhere in the world has been suedfor their actions. To summarise the story so far (as if you already didnt know whats going on), Joseph Joey McNicol is being sued by The Which Company T/as T3 Direct being sued for allegedly having them listed on the international anti-spam blacklist known as spews.org. This one lawsuit has drawn to the attention of the general public the plight of Internet users everywhere. Each day as Internet users, we have to put up with junk email landing in our inboxes. We have to see email for everything from Nigerian money making schemes, Viagra, advertisements for sites providing Pornographic-related material, just toname a few. And the worst part of receiving junk email, you have to pay for receiving it. FACT: Email Management Company Postini found that spam increased by 39% during 2001. (Source: http://www.postini.com/company/pr/pr011502.html) Think about it, each time someone sends you some junk email you are paying to receive it. You pay for your Internet connection, and you also pay for downloads the message in your inbox. Your ISP pays to receive and process the email because they have to maintain connections to the outside world, plus they have to also maintain systems to stop whateverspam they can. You also have to pay for it again when you read it and delete it. Companies such as T3 Direct who are engaged in the practises of sending spam dont realise that people have too many other important things to do in the day, and dont need their time and money wasted by unwanted advertising. And more often than not, they are advertising things to use which we as a consumer would not particularly want. It also gets down to a question of content. While I am not a parent, I havebrothers and sisters who go to school and using the Internet is pretty much apart of their daily curriculum these days. And more often than not they have an email address with the various web-based services such as Yahoo! and Hotmail. As a older brother to them, and as parents as some of you who reading this mailing list more than likely are do you really want your 13yr old child coming home and uttering the phrase What is a penis-pump enlarger? The time is now. It may seem like a David Vs. Goliath battle against the spammers but this could only be one of the very few chances as both Internet users and members of the public that we have the chance to stand up and say Enough is Enough. Michael Harris Editor, The CanoSpam News Flash! - * T3 still spamming have not yet learnt that no-one wants their junk Well, you might think that after all the publicity and media coverage that Wayne Mansfield and T3 Direct might just have learnt that the internet community would not want their spam... wrong. In the emails just received by SpamSuit, we have learnt that T3 is still continuing to send their spam regardless of the current legal action before the Perth District Court which has brought about so much publicity. This round of emails is advertising his upcoming seminars, Powerselling. Ithas also confirmed all upcoming seminar dates as previously published on this website. However, the biggest surprise of all is that OzEmail/uuNet seems not to have followed up on their promise to disconnect of the alleged spammer made late last week. If this failure to follow through on this promise to disconnect is correct, this is a big blow to not only the anti-spam movement but also to the efforts to

Re: G3 and G4 printing to Kyocera Network printer qn
Hi All! Just a quick question I have a client that has a BW G3 and a G4 400 with exactly the same software specs, connected via an ethernet hub to a Kyocera FS 7000P. The main application they are printing from is Quark 4, and PCs have no problems printing anything to this printer. Everytime the Macs print from Quark, a Postscript error appears. The G4 sometimes prints, then other times doesn't. They both worked when the printer was installed 18 months ago. The machines are running 9.1 Thanks in Advance Rod! Heya Rod first point - that was not a question! secondly, whilst I don't wanna blow the kyrocera trumpet, the experiences other have described so far don't compare to our experiences with our kyrocera 8000C (running macs quark 3 4). Compared to our previous printer (minolta CF 900 via Fiery RIP) it has been very hassle-free. It's true that the thing is a postscript faker, but for a printer worth 1/10 the price without a dedicated RIP it is faster, more reliable of better print quality consistancy than the minolta/fiery. The Kyrocera occasionally does strange things (like will not print unless you press the 'go' button) but generally is pretty hassle free. For the record there is a mix of OS 8, 8.6, 9.1 machines (no PCs) You say a postscript error appears... where? you get a message on the printer or the mac? which printer driver are you using? Greg

Re: iinet ADSL Problem - Update
5. Stephen wondered if the IP address was faulty as I always got the same one, so far only 50 people are connected to BLIINK. They checked it out and rang back to say it worked OK. Interestingly, one of my (PC using) workmates just signed up for bliink but hasn't been able to use his account yet due to router problems at iinet's end.

Pathetic Kyocera Rubbish
Yes Shay Our Ky 1000 does exactly the same, even with Ky's own OS X update. It is rubbish. Imagine our situation, teaching our primary kids and cautious PC user teachers to use OS X and at the end of term going to print their projects, only to get gibberish. Really, what use is the thing? Even in OS 9 we never get proper page alignment, with print starting half way down page etc. I've learnt to be ready to dash from my (principal's) office to the classroom, network from OS X G4 iMac to OS 9 iMac, copy file across, and print from OS 9, hoping from the best. Seriously, if anyone wants to buy this beast, bought from Winthrop, then I'll sell it to you. It probably works nicely with Windows... I don't know. Then we'll go out and buy something that will do the job, simple as it is... printing our kid's work. Why should that be so hard? Does anyone know anyone who wants to buy it? Reg Chapman Valley Primary School Kyocera does not use real Postscript, it's a clone. It will produce unpredictable results. Our one prints gibberish on every page after the first. That's when it doesn't give a postscript error. Worked ok most of the time under Mac OS 9 though :) Have fun, Shay
