a corporate BBS for Xircom, Inc. (leading mfgr of external LAN adapters

Thanks! I tried the Northgate back when I first bought my AST premium

in '87, but they had the enlarged enter key and "lost" \ key.
|

I must presume they have changed a lot since then! Do you know if any

have the ctrl-caps switch on TOP so a machine with multiple users can

have each switch it to their preference?

I just got a new Northgate 102, and the dip switches are all in a little
|
|
opening that's on top of the keyboard. There's also a little orange
|
|
key that lets you make some changes on the fly. I'm not sure whether
|
|
it lets you change CTRL-CAPs Lock on the fly without looking atthe
|
|
manual. (Sorry, but I like the large Enter key - I use SmartKey to
|
|
move /\ to locations that I want (in place of '", but then I use
|
|
Dvorak layout, which changes lots of things!)

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: FAX
|
|
|
|
Just got Faxability With OCR. Send/Recv'd a few FAXes with a friend of mine
|
|
today to test the OCR. We tried pages with several different fonts and size
|
|
sizes. It did pretty well, much better than I thought it would. With a
|
|
fixed pitch font (about 12pt) it only had 2 or 3 errors on the page.
|
|
The software can put a "~" char before every char it is not sure of. And
|
|
it did put a "~" before every char it got "wrong", but also a few that
|
|
were correct.
|
|
The software can save the OCR output into about 30-40 different formats
|
|
which is nice. I saved it into Word for Windows format, doctored it up,
|
|
and retransmitted it all in under 5 minutes. The OCR is pretty slow, with
|
|
it taking 45-90 seconds per page (lots faster then I can re-type! ); )
|
|
It works with many different FAX boards, not just Intel's (but I do have
|
|
the Intel).

|
|
|
|
Has anyone heard of the following problem? I have a PRACTICAL
|
|
PERIPHERALS modem that is 5+ years old and used about once or twice per
|
|
week for about 30 min. I have recently moved my computer station to a
|
|
previous location that worked well last time. This includes the change
|
|
in phone jacks.
|
|
Here is the problem. After my first dial out, when I try to dial via the
|
|
modem it starts ringing instead of dialing along with some other noises.
|
|
I get around this by adding extra nulls or spaces between the "AT DT"and
|
|
the actual number. About 30 spaces works well.
|
|
Any ideas of what the cause is? Ever heard of a similar problem?
|
|
Thanks for any help.

|
|
|
|
A client of mine has a Micropolis 1664 330MB ESDI drive with an Ultrastor
|
|
controller card (the one with the small cache), and a Colorado 250 tape
|
|
drive with controller (i.e. not using the floppy controller). These were
|
|
originally installed in a 386DX-16 system and were moved to a DX-40 some
|
|
months ago. Since the transplant, the client noticed that tape backups
|
|
were taking significantly longer. While looking into some other things,
|
|
I ran Norton SI and got a disk performance index of only 2.9 (the reported
|
|
seek time was about right for the drive, but the data transfer rate was
|
|
reported as zero) and the test took quite some time to run (no caching
|
|
software was installed at the time).
|
|
Has anyone run into something like this before?

|

The variations of COMMAND.COM have forced me to give up on trying to find
|
|
the errorlevel byte in each. What I've done instead is create a TSR that
|
|
will intercept all program terminations, and save a copy of the result
|
|
code. A non-TSR copy of the same utility can then retrieve the latest result
|
|
code on demand and then display it. (Useful for debugging and development
|
|
of both programs and *.BAT files.)

Thanks for all your responses.

to WARD & ALL re: WIERD PROBLEM SOLVED.
|
|
|
|
I recently installed DOS 5.0 on my original IBM AT (1984 BIOS). It
|
|
worked fine except for one peculiar problem: It wouldn't boot from
|
|
a 3.5" drive, even though I transferred the system to the diskette
|
|
as specified in the DOS manual. "Big deal," you say; "the BIOS is
|
|
too old." That's what a techie at the store where I bought DOS 5.0
|
|
said. The only thing is, DOS 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 would all boot from
|
|
a 3.5" diskette under the same hardware configuration! Even tech
|
|
support at Microsoft was baffled.
|
|
Turns out the problem was the boot sector on the diskette. For
|
|
some reason, the disk parameter block (which describes the diskette
|
|
format to the ROM-BIOS during a boot and also at other times) had
|
|
one bad parameter: The hidden sectors value. Instead of the 0000
|
|
which is normal for diskettes, it had a value of 8000! Don't know
|
|
how that value got there; but changing it solved the boot problem-
|
|
and hasn't caused any other problems yet (knock wood).

|

HI, sorry I am seeing your questions for the first time - I just got back
|
|
from an out-of-town trip to the "Hacker's Convention" that is an invitation-
|
|
only conference among industry pioneers, etc. I was really humbled by the
|
|
list of folks there.
|
|
You are asking when a good time to ask a few questions would be. Well,
|
|
it would have been days ago when your first called! A BBS is a way for
|
|
people to be in contact without having to be on the phone. SO, please ASK
|
|
your questions at YOUR convenience, and I'll answer them at MY convenience.
|
|
YOU don't even have to take notes then - you'll have verbatim quotes. So
|
|
when would be a good time to talk? Right now for the time being there
|
|
wouldn't be a good time. .by VOICE. but ANY time is FINE by modem
|
|
to CBBS.
|
|
Also though I don't plan to call, I wouldn't even if I wanted to - you
|
|
didn't leave an area code and I'm not about to "try" to see where you might
|
|
live! Owell, gotta run.

By the way, "Subject:" is part of - if you stop to think about it logically -
|
|
the header information CBBS supplies, you don't have to put it in YOUR
|
|
subject.

to TONY ANTONUCCI re: R/FAX
|
|
|
|
Hey, that Faxability sounds cool - especially the OCR.
|
|
Tell me, is there a simple editor shipped with it? One problem I saw
|
|
was if you faxed something into your system, in order to fax it out (i.e.
|
|
you wanted a graphic image but didn't have a scanner) then you were sending
|
|
out a fax with YOUR INCOMING header on it. A simple editor to chop that
|
|
off would be useful.
|
|
I realize that since you said it could be saved in a bunch of formats,
|
|
you could drop it into, say, PC Paintxxx but that would be an extra step,
|
|
and come to think of it, an 8.5" wide 200-dpi image by 11" long (or
|
|
longer) would be quite LARGE and ungainley to "quickly edit".

|
|
|
|
How about slowing down the speed at which you send the ATDT - i.e.
|
|
send it at about 10 char/sec? I can do that in my current COMM program.

That (8000 as the # if reserved sectors or whatever it was) IS
|
|
very strange! I should shoot you a copy of my DISKPARM program that
|
|
quickly dumps the disk parm block off of any floppy or hard disk:
|
|
DiskParm 9/10/88 by Ward Christensen
|
|
Defaults to A: drive, or specify a drive: DiskParm c:
|

|

~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~
|
|
512 bytes per sector
|
|
1 sectors per cluster
|
|
1 reserved sector
|
|
2 copies of fat
|
|
224 root entries
|
|
2880 sectors per disk
|
|
F0 media descriptor
|
|
9 sectors per fat
|
|
18 sectors per track
|
|
2 heads
|
|
0 hidden sectors
|
|
Actually if there were an 8000 in hidden sectors or reserved sectors,
|
|
I don't know if it would say "32768" or not! But the HEX part would have
|
|
shown you it anyway (I wrote it sort of as a tutorial, i.e. so you could
|
|
see the hex corresponding to the appropriate decimal values).

to ALL re: INTERNET ACCESS
|
|
|
|
Direct accesss to the Internet is available to members of the various
|
|
university communities, and is not generally available to "outsiders."
|
|
The University of Chicago was rather generous about it for a long time,
|
|
but recently closed access to all but a few outsiders. Even alumnii
|
|
were not spared.
|
|
Chinet, which sits on the same desk as this CBBS, offers indirect
|
|
access in the form of news and email. (News is now received via
|
|
satellite.)
|
|
Direct access to Internet is available through other non-commercial
|
|
as well as commercial providers. Unfortunately for Chicago residents,
|
|
the nearest non-commercial providers I know of are Merit/MichNet and
|
|
CICNet, both of Ann Arbor, Mich and Netillinois and CICNet, both in
|
|
Urbana.
|
|
I believe the least costly commercial provider with access via a
|
|
phone number in downtown Chicago is Holonet, 46 Shattuck Sq., Berkeley,CAl.

to WARD/ALL re: DESKJET EXPERIENCES
|
|
|
|
OK, I'm about to buy a printer - my 8 year old Oki'92 is at death's
|
|
door. The DeskJet 500 looks good to me, and I kno Ward is a fan,\
|
|
SO: What should I know about before plunking $400 or so for it? I've
|
|
heard that the beasty can be refilled with a syringe and fountain-pen
|
|
ink, too - is this true?
