blackbird and johnHenry online! I've finally added ppp to my community net account and have a IIfx and an SE30 online with OT and FreePPP. The SE30 (68mb ram) is running 7.1 and the IIfx (32mb ramhas 7.5.5. I'm using:
Eudora Light 3.1.3 iCab Preview 2.8.1 MacTelnet (NCSA Telnet 2.6) -ideas on best (free) FTP client? version? Its exciting to have graphic access after a couple of years using Lynx via terminal emulation. Originally I tried OT/PPP, but my SupraExpress 33.6 modem didn't like the default Rockwell init string. FreePPP works fine and lets me enter and save my own intit strings. POP mail is almost as good as Pine ;-) I like getting my digests downloaded directly, to read in a viewer offline... with Pine on my ISP, I have to export them to my file directory there, and quit Pine to download them to my machine at home. Eudora doesn't have as extensive key-commands, but then again using BBEdit Lite and pasting to Eudora works fine... I had some troubles at first with images stalling but things seem much better after giving iCab more memory, and giving the system a larger cache. -Does this make sense? I'm not sure about the system disk cache thing... - any pointers for setting up a ram disk for iCab? recent posts about customizing OS 7.1 have me wondering about my extensions there, and in my OS 7.5.5. -Advice about tuning the system and avoiding conflicts would be appreciated... I've made a browsing set with the extensions manager in 7.5.5 with Appletalk, Sharing, Apple Menu options off. I wasn't able to get this extension manager (System 7.5 Version 7.5.3 v.3.0.3) to work with 7.1. -what extesions manager can I use w/ 7.1? BTW, many thanks to vm and cm. blackbird and johnHenry wouldn't be wading the web without you... cheers, scb -- Scott Barber <http://www.chebucto.ca/~az627/webWader.html> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email X No Word docs in email / \ Respect for open standards -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
