- An NEC has no "rights" whatsoever within Fidonet, as they are not a "ratified

- probably tell them. But several have already gotten the "Pound Salt" message
- when I was -told- "I must cut this person's feed". Seems I was "destroying the

-
- If there was a legitimate technical problem, you betcha I would do whatever it
- takes to cure it. Currently there is only two types of such:
-
- 1) Non-conforming messages, in which case my system will stop them. And if it
- continues, I'll stop feeding them. This one has -never- happened.
-
- 2) A dupe loop. In which case the node feeding from here needs to cut the link
- to me, or cut the one to their other feed. If they can't seem to handle it,
- I'll cut it for 'em. This one has happened probably a half dozen times in the
- last 3 or 4 years.
-
- But the only way -my- uplink would get cut is if I'm causing technical problems
- for them. Being I'm not going to allow such a problem to continue unabated,
- I've not got anything to worry about.
-

-
- For a recurring -technical- reason, yes, I would expect my feed cut. For any
- other reason, even bop-a-rootie only provides provisions for the
- -moderator- to cut a link.
-
- Seems you've not noticed that the *EC structure is basically worthless these
- days.

- OK...please allow me to pick your brain a little more <G>
-
- I'm running 3 nodes right now, and would like to speed things up
- _WITHOUT_ switching BBS Software. I have a 386DX/40 as a
- Server/Workstation. It has 2 Hard Drives in it...a 1 GIG drive
- partitioned equally to drives C, D, and E, and a 660 Megger partitioned
- equally to drives F, G, H, I, J, and K. This machine has 8 megs of ram,
- and is my MAIN machine, the BBS software residing on the C-Drive. I am
- running under DOS 5 and Lantastic/AI v4.1 with 10Mbps Ethernet Cards.
- This machine is ALSO Node 1. Node 2 and 3 are on 386DX/40s that ONLY
- have 1 meg of ram and 1 single 3.5" floppy for BootUp ... No hard drive.
- They use Drive C on machine 1 for their BBS operations. These are
- workstations only.
- Then, my Planet Connect machine is a 386DX/40 and utilizes its own
- 180Meg Hard Drive, and is networked as Drive Y. It is a
- Server/Workstation.
- Currently, my mail is copied to DRIVE C (from DRIVE Y) and
- processed/tossed there (on Drive C). I now am thinking about how to do
- the Tossing on Drive Y for all my downlinks, and THEN copying MY mail to
- drive C for tossing into My Message bases, as it makes sense that that
- alone would speed this thing up quite a bit.
- But, in your opinion, how would you speed this system up without
- spending $50K? Seriously, I've considered a 486DX/2-66 for a dedicated
- file server, but don't see that it would enhance the speed that much, as
- all BBS operations are being done on _ONE_ single hard drive, and I fear
- that is the problem in system slowdown at times.
-
- Thanks very much in advance.

- Yeah, I heard it was real good, however I missed it as well. As luck would have
- it, my power supply went out on my data receiver, and while I was tuning the
- dish for a stronger signal, I strayed off the PC Satellite, and ended up on
- another one. :-) Waiting for my copy of the show to arrive in the mail.
-
- But from what John said on the phone at the night of the show, some real good
- features are coming out for the PC software, as well as new services.

- You can route netmail thru 1:3615/50, but it all goes landline. PC_Site to
- 1:3615/50 via landline; from 1:3615/50 to 1:396/1 via landline, and then thru

- You better reread Policy4. Policy4 makes no mention of routed netmail and the
- NEC (Net Echo Coordinator). It is the Net Coordinator (NC) that has that
- routing requirement specified in Policy 4, and then only on inbound routed

-
- I've been playing over here and have found it to run well under DV on a 386/40.
- I am set to 3/3 ticks and have noticed trashed files when heavy forgraound
- lookup activity is going on. I talked to Boyd about this and let him know that
- DV give the include code away openly to help developers make their software DV
- aware and he sounded like that was already on the slate. I was talking to
- another PC user and he claims to get no errors running on an 386/40 using 1/1
- ticks with heavy activity in the foreground..... I haven't benched it yet, but
- my experience has been that performance is severely degredated with such little
- processing time.......
-
- Let me know what your tests yeild.......
-
- Best Wishes,

- I have to agree on this one. We are running a 386DX 40 as well. We are
- running it under desqview and a Novell Netware lite. It shares the computer

- If not busy then it sets its own flag "planet.bsy" and uses PCFU to move the
- files across the network to the BBS inbound directory. If the BBS drops for a
- mail toss during transfer the "planet.bsy" flag tells it to come back later to
- do its work. The only reason the PLANET machine is set as server is so that I
- can manipulate it remotely from my OS/2 command center. It has worked
- consistently with the C-Band dish all along and has given me no problems using
- a 16 MHz 286, a 16 MHz 386SX, and a 33 MHz 386DX as the PLANET motherboard. I
- am currently configured with a 33 MHz 386DX on the BBS using 16550AFN comm
- chips and a 16 MHz 386SX on the PLANET side. The OS/2 unit also serves a second
- LAN aside from the BBS/PLANET Lantastic setup connected to my usenet feed etc..
- At present I swallow the mail during the errorlevel drops produced by PC rather
- than initiating transfers from the remote side. This produces mail in a large
- lump rather than a gradual trickle that you could get by processing hourly from
- the remote side. Works well for this net.
-

- You won't detect any errors with PCUtil or other utilities. It is the
- PTCCMAIN program (the main Planet Connect program) that detects the errors.
-
- When PTCCMAIN receives a file with errors in it, you'll see it on the

- Greetings All;
- I'm assisting NET397's Planet Connect hub with his setup. In the
- AreaFix 1:30 docs (in the WHATSNEW section) it mentions that AreaFix
- will only honor one forward request per node per day. A little
- experimentation seems to bear this out. Since the PC Node is feeding two
- net hubs, and they are feeding the rest of the nodes in the net, each
- hub only being able to do one forward request a day is a problem. Does
- anyone know of a way to disable this 'feature'? (Besides say, switching
- to RecUser or Squish Area Echo Link Manager)
- ----
- I've also noticed that when we try to send echomail replys back to
- 1:3615/50, after FrontDoor connects, it gets the text string
- "****ILLEGAL ACCESS****' and 3615/50 then disconnects. Does this
- indicate a password error, or that 3615/50 doesn't have us entered in
- his setup yet, or ?????
- 'Read-only' Fido echoes aren't exactly what we had in mind. ;-)

- Hmm, I'm running Desqview under NWLITE here with very few problems. I did have

- re-optimize after each change! If you are tight on conventional mem (who
- aint?), I had to kick in Vidram, VREMS, and select CGA for monitor type in
- DVsetup ....which left me with 548K for the first task. The remaining tasks
- get about 520K. Expanding Server and the other changes meant that Server could

- 2.- run X00 _BEFORE_ going into DV
-
- 3.- make sure X00 _LOCKS_ the port settings of the PTCCMAIN port!!!!!!!
-
- 4.- switched to DV/X
-
- We tried all sorts of configs but settled on 1,2, & 4 above and were getting
- about 85% on the first pass. LOCKing the port setting in X00 bumped us up to
- about 99% !!!
-
- FYI: we are running two 486DX-33's and a 386DX-40 on an ethernet LAN with NDOS
- 7 and DV/X.....we are only using the LAN drivers from NDOS7 and allowing DV/X
- to provide the client/server software.....uses _LOTS_LESS memory that way!

- Boyd has made it known that he might or might not be able to respond to mail to
- him, so let me 'unburden' the guy (inappreciation for all he and his people are
- doing to help us! ..Thanks, Boyd..)
-
- Now, to the point:
-
- Rime administration was/is concerned about what they perceive as unnecessarily
- long 'turn around times' and delays in getting mail distributed. The fact
- seems to be that if a hub is used to the quick net distribution character of
- hubs and nodes which historiclly transfer mail several times per day, then Yes,
- there is a slowdown... a slowdown which they perceive as intolerable. As I
- scan the commenting within Rime on this, there just have not been a great
- number of bbs's havingthis problem ..but those who do are big and important hub
- systems, and all the net suffers when they're not max'd out ..
-
- And yes, am happy to have read today that Rime admin and PC have gotten
- together and taken steps to understand the problem and to do something about
- it..
-
- This includes PC recoding some ware (which will take some weeks) , and Rime
- doing several uploads to PC daily.. In turn, PC will add all new mail to 'later
- broadcasts' of that day's packets ... In other words, when new stuff is sent in
- to PC, they'll add it/update the packets immediately ... For a period of some
- weeks, they've agreed to a plan of coordinated actions that will help/cure the
- problem, ...
-
- I hope I've paraphrased satisfactorily what i recall of what i read..
-
- And folks have asked that they not be unnecessarily bothered with tons of
- questions/complaints/etc until the solutions have a chance to work and/or be
- further modified...
-
- We should thank both parties for working together on this...

- or can I send back replies, and get them answered quickly?? I know that
- through a university in another town (Long Distance unfortunately:), they can
- send out a message, and have it back within a few hours! What can I expect
- with PC's Usenet?? Also, is there a "FIDONET.NA" listing for Usenet, or
- something that lists "echoes"?? If you know the answer to some of these,
- please give me whatever input you can! I want to hear from people who actually
- have this working, cause I want to offer my users Usenet and Fido, so we will

-
- I'm afraid you're confused. The kill/sent attribute won't do anything to files
- attached to a message. It will cause the *message* itself to be deleted after
- it's sent; any files that were attached will be left alone.
-
- FM also supports the del/sent flag, which *will* cause any files attached to a
- message to be deleted after they're sent. Del/sent and kill/sent in
- combination will delete both the .msg and any attached files.
-
- Unfortunately, Tick doesn't have del/sent capability. If even Tick did support
- that flag, there's a serious problem using this particular technique, however:
- if you happen to be routing the same file to more than one downlink, the first
- time you transmit it, del/sent will delete it, and any other downlinks won't
- get it at all; just a null file attach message with nothing actually attached
- to it.
-
- > Is there any way that I am missing to automatically set the message as
- > KILL/SENT?
-
- Tick is a good program, but by contemporary standards it's become dated and
- very limited compared to some of its alternatives. Frankly, I'd suggest that
- you just switch to Allfix and be done with it. Speaking as a veteran of
- several years on the Tick beta team, Allfix is a far superior and more capable
- program in every respect. It'll solve this particular problem for you, and
- dozens of others you may not have encountered yet. Most importantly, it will
- integrate easily and seamlessly into your FD/RA system, and give you a ton of
- nifty features and advanced capabilities that you don't currently have.
-
- If you'd like, you're welcome to FReq AFIX420E.ZIP from me at 1:202/302,

- Well, DV-Classic is the DV you're accustomed to. I believe it is up to

- This, of course, depends on your echomail processor. You could make your
- bad message directory a NUL device so that they're not saved.
-
- For me, what I do is have every single one of those echos defined in my
- echomail processor's config file, but I make them 'pass-through' areas so no
- messages are saved if I don't want them. Except for the small dupe-checking
- file that most echomail processors create, it doesn't cost me much disk space
- and yet it still allows others to link into them if they want them.

- Unless you're eager to spend money :-) the cheapest way to do it is to

-
- One way is to put all the echo areas in your AREAS.BBS. Set the
- echo's you don't wish to carry as PASSTHROUGH's with no fowarding
- nodes. In other words, the line in your AREAS.BBS for each echo
- you don't want should read:
-
- P <ECHO NAME> 1:3615/50
-
- You are telling GoMail that <ECHO NAME> is a passthrough, and the
- only connected system is Planet Connect.
-
- You can get the latest copy of FIDONET.NA and do a little
- creative editing to make this huge AREAS.BBS -- will probably
- save you some typing that way.

-
- Bill you need areafix and let it auto create new echo's in your
- areas.bbs file. Or you could take all the Fidonet.na,
- Fidonet.no, K12frwy listings and put all them in the areas.bbs
- file like this.
-
- P Unwanted_AREA_NAME 1:3615/50
- P Unwanted_Area_Name 1:3615/50
- 2 Area_mane_you_want 1:3615/50
-
- Etc.
-
- If you like I will zip up a complete areas.bbs and Areafix that I
- use and you can freq it along with a sample batch file to run FD,
- Gomail and Areafix as I have the same setup running here.
-
- Another option would be call Mike Ortez BBS (The Software
- Connection) and look for the Gomail.exe made for Planet Connect
- that auto vaporizes them. Haven't use that copy of gomail but
- Mike added code to auto trashcan the unwanted stuff in the same
- way it trascan's dup messages if you togle that option to not
- keep them. Keep you orgional copy of gomail though as you might
- need it and go the route I have taken with areafix. I prefer
- using areafix because I can simply replace the "P" with a area
- number and turn on or off echo's at will without looking up the
- area names and typing them in here plus areafix allows local
- nodes to turn on or off at will the areas they want also without

-
- Not having the HOBBIES echo distributed in the FidoNet mail packets over the
- satellite was not the decision of the HOBBIES echo moderator. The HOBBIES echo
- moderator is Harvey Smith, 1:100/519 who is dual-netted in FamilyNet. The
- HOBBIES echo is a FamilyNet echo, and is gated to FidoNet by Bob Hoffman, the
- FamilyNet head. Bob Hoffman requested John Souvestre at 1:396/1, the Southern
- Star, not to send the HOBBIES traffic in FidoNet to Planet Systems uplink node,
- 1:3615/50 since the HOBBIES echo is already distributed over the satellite in
- the FamilyNet QWK mail packets. Hoffman also requested Planet Systems not to
- distribute or accept traffic in the HOBBIES echo except in those FamilyNet QWK
- mail packets.
-
- When Harvey Smith, the moderator of HOBBIES, was apprised of Hoffman's
- decision, he was NOT happy. In effect, Hoffman's decision removed the HOBBIES
- echo from five nodes in Harvey's own FidoNet Net, Net 100, since Net 100 now
- gets is traffic via Planet Connect. The only way those Net 100 addresses can
- get traffic on the FidoNet side in the HOBBIES echo is to call via long
- distance telephone line to a Region 14 Echomail Hub that gets its traffic via
- landline and pick up the traffic (and deliver outgoing via the same method).
- That is unacceptable to them, and as NEC for Net 100, having to call a Region
- 14 echomail hub long distance to pickup and deliver traffic in HOBBIES is also
- unacceptable to me and counter to the reason we in Net 100 went to Planet
- Connect to begin with. In the last correspondence I had with Harvey Smith
- about the situation, Harvey was considering yanking the HOBBIES echo out of
- FamilyNet and making it a FidoNet originated echo, which would result in its
- traffic again appearing over the satellite.

-

- KS> need some idea's on what i should do to hook a dos box to my
- KS> OS/2 bbs machine...IE what is a good package to hook the 2
- KS> machines...
-
- I'm same as you ..... hooked on OS/2 and waiting for a dongle. I have my DOS
- box listening to the dish and connected to the BBS machine via a null modem
- cable. I send the files across at 115200 with GSZ, a dosser but it runs ok
- under OS/2. I messed with Hydracom for a bit because there are both DOS and
- OS/2 versions and it might work with a bit more fiddling but GSZ started
- working for me first so I stayed with it. OK, here's the whole ball o' wax,
- cable, software, batch files, etc.
-
- Null modem cables are cheap but if you really want to go cheap and have a spare
- modem cable hanging around then modify it into a null modem cable. I did and
- it works. Here's the connections .....
-
- 2 ------ 3
- 3 ------ 2
- 4 ------ 5
- 5 ------ 4
- 6&8 ---- 20
- 20 ----- 6&8
-
- I recommend soldering any wire wrapped joints you have to make and to verify
- the cable with an ohm meter or some sort of continuity checker to be sure that
- the connections are right. It's nice to know beforehand that the job is done
- right. Wrong connections might fry your serial port. Also, if the setup
- doesn't work then you'll be wondering if it's the cable that's wrong or your
- software.
-
- GSZ runs fine for me out of an OS/2 batch (.cmd) file. The OS/2 command
- interpreter opens the DOS session automatically (have a hunch 4OS2 can't do
- that) and I didn't have to mess with the DOS session settings at all.
-
- Here's the OS/2 batch file ........
-
- :start
- d:
- cd \bink\net
- gsz port 2 speed 115200 d t -T
- cd \bink
- call mailproc.cmd
- goto start
-
- Gsz dumps inbound data into the current directory so I switch to my mailer's
- inbound dir before starting gsz which is on the path. The command line
- parameters and switches to gsz are case sensitive and the spaces you see are
- required. The "d" makes it ignore carrier detect, "t" I can't remember, turbo
- or something like that, "-T" is to make it wait until a caller (the DOS box)
- signals the end of a transfer session.
-
- Mailproc.cmd calls squishp.exe to toss the mail, ticp.exe to process the tics
- and seal.exe to announce new files. When it's done gsz fires up and waits. I
- should probably use wait.exe to stall invoking gsz but the rotation schedule PC
- is on seems to be highly irregular so I'm not sure when I would have wait fire
- up gsz. Oh well, gsz doesn't seem to use much processor time when it's waiting
- so it'll do for now.
-
- I'll give you qwkndrty.bat for the DOS box in the next message.

-
- What does this mess do? I'll start at the end and sort of back into it. The
- razzboyd.cmd is a little Rexx thingy I wrote that puts a message to Boyd in my
- netmail area. The message says "Hey Boyd, how's that OS/2 dongle coming
- along?" Since gsz hasn't failed me since adding that feature, Boyd hasn't
- received netmail from me. Geez, I wish it would fail once in a while :)
-
- Well, I wanted to keep track of the rotation times that Planet Connect uses.
- AYPK, a rotation is one complete dump of *all* files, Fido, Usenet, etc. I
- like to transfer at the end of a rotation because some good stuff is repeated
- after the Fido files come down and before Usenet starts. By using "pcutil
- check1" I don't transfer any repeated files, just the stuff new for the day so
- the transfer is quick and I start receiving again before Fido stuff is
- transmitted. I suppose I could run the transfer in the background and receive
- continuous but that would require Desqview and I'm too cheap for that.
-
- I also wanted to schedule my GSZ transfers at night. At first I thought there
- was only 2 rotations per day so the wait.txt file that the batch file
- alternately writes and deletes was supposed to be a flag that tells the batch
- "don't send now, wait until the next rotation". Turns out there are three
- rotations so the idea doesn't work as I originally intended but they happen
- during slow hours so it's not bad. Adding another wait flag would stall the
- transfer until after 5 AM for me but the rotation times have become so
- irregular that I just let them happen. Can't fight progess, know what I mean?
-
- You'll notice that I'm using pcutil to delete repeated files. Pcfu is a
- similar, reportedly better program by the same author and I'll be switching it
- in tonight. Well, maybe instead I'll use the time to write a pcfu clone in
- Rexx for us OS/2 people.
-
- D:\fido is the directory my Fido files go into off the dish, you can configure
- that as you please in a_config.sky. I'm sure you'll figure out the rest.
-
- I know my setup could be better but what the heck ... it's temporary. Works
- pretty good though and gives me about 7000 cps transfer rates between the 2
- machines even with somebody downloading off the BBS at 14.4. When they play
- BRE though it slows the tansfer right down to 2000 and I can't figure why,
- maybe you can? Twiddling DOS session settings doesn't seem to help.
-
- I have 16550 uarts on both ends although I was using 16450 on the DOS box at
- first and getting very few block retrys and just about 7000 cps rates. Again,
- the gsz command line is case and space critical. The switches I'm using invoke
- GSZ's crash recovery mode. Without that the transfer will die on the first
- file that already exists in the receiving directory.
-
- Another cheap method uses the parallel port for transfers which is probably
- even faster than what I'm doing now. The software you need for this method
- comes on disk with Dvorak's book "PC Connectivity" which details the method
- completely, so I've been told.
-
- Questions and suggestions welcome.

- active massager in the Planet Connect office. May be you can help me with my
- problem.
-
-
- I seem to have a problem with the expire date of our Planet Connect account.
- Our original starting date was in Oct 93 during your BETA test period. Our
- first quarter payment started Nov. 1 1993. We paid for three months as a HUB.
- On January 11, 1994 I noticed PTCCMAIN.EXE beeping at us, warning us of the 9
- days to renew. This was 10 days before I expected it to happen. We faxed you
- and after a few days called for our renewal. I was told by Bob that a term was
- 30 days and a quarter is 3 times that or 90 days. Now I've paid for another
- quarter as a single BBS node signing up as a yearly subscriber and I was told
- that my new expire date will be on July 12 1994.
-
- I don't understand where we are loosing all the day's. I've messaged Boyd,
- faxed Joe and now messaged you. I would appreciate a message reply indicating
- what I should expect when I call your office on or about July 2, 1994.
-
- Thank you for your attention and I hope this matter will be cleared up so we
- can get on with the business at hand.

- Hi John. I was trying to run GIGO but I could not get past the fact that dos4gw
- wouldnot run with a memory manager and no mater what I tryed I could not get it
- to run. The next thing was that I do not have an Internet address and do not
- know enough about internet to fake one . Nore do I have an outbound gate to
- gate the newsgroup access into the internet all of which are required fields in
- GIGO . so I turned to a very round about way of tossing this stuff . I am
- running XSH to toss the news groups I want into *.MSG format and then running
- gecho to toss the measges into pakets for outbound nodes. This worked ok but I
- kept getting XSH hanging up on a bag and I would have to reboot and manualy
- delete the affected bag and then restart the process. this was what I ment
- about babysitting the thing. Yesterday one of my points found a program that
- seams to have solved this . PIQUE goes through each bag and pulls only the
- messages from news groups I want and gets rid of all the trash that XSH seams
- to choke on. But I am now having to set up three programs config files by hand
- and the set up for this is taking me for ever. So much for the nice days of
- gechos areamgr. I am running DOS 6.2 and QEMM on two 386 sx40's with Lantastic
- AI BNU for a fossal and a 14.4 and a 28.8 . One on each computer and two cd
- roms. If you know of some way to help with this mess it would be much
- appreceated. later John

- Oh..lantastic runs under a vdm image under os.2..uses no cpu load cept maybe

- The best thing we have come up with is using WildMail 3.11 it has the

- The only problem is if you are a HUB for other board then they will not
- be able to auto add conf. because when they request a conf. it puts them
- in a Que file and waits for a message to be tossed in the bad area and
- then adds the conf. if they are being deleted as they come in it will
- never add them. you have to manual add them.. I talked to On-Line about

-
- Ah well, just relieving some frustration.

- 0.6 is the latest "official" version. If you want to try 0.6, freq XSH_0_6.ARJ

- P ADAM 1:3615/50 1:309/27 if you are getting it form the bird

- All,
- After 4 months in Beta Info System Technology is releasing the
- following toys for public beta. They will come with demo keys, and drop
- dead 4 times a month until you register them (gotta promote the
- shareware concept one way or another...)
-
- --- New Products List --------------------------------------------------
-
- ISTMAIL - Hudson Tosser, ISTGOLD GoldBase Tosser, IST!PCB
- PCBoard Tosser ... all three are capable of handling 250 nodes in their
- export list, and 8000+ conferences *(internet).
-
- CRCHK - Ever wanted to delete off all those *.QWK files, and
- PCUSENET.* files that have already be processed, and could not find
- anything that worked worth a damn??? This does it for you, simple, no
- config files, just 1 command line ... and you get instant access to
- clean directories (running here since Jan 2nd).
-
- D/Bbs - You run QuickBBS, or RA and want a clone, but has
- message bases and file bases designed for the work load from the dish?
- Yep, this does it for you ... and if you are a PCB operator, you will
- love the fact we can run everything except for PPE's from D/Bbs! (we are
- working on the PPE's currently!)
-
- DOMANSED - want an external editor for the BBS, one that
- supports many configuration, and works like a word processor, not an
- ANSI toy???
-
- All Communication based Software support Fossil, Uart, Int14 and
- Digiboard. Come in many flavours (OS/2 in development), and we have a
- support staff of programmers and techs reaching all ends of the US, and
- one in Europe. Custom Software jobs available, contact us for rates.
-
- Long live the bird!
- G.E. Ozz Nixon Jr.
- Info System Technology (tennessee branch).
-
- * - # of conferences is also based upon the amount of base ram you have
- available. 6800 conferences in 414k Desqview Windows, and the
- internal 65k cache in use (which is programmable down to 18k).

-
- I have no idea what type of BBS software you use so this may not be a solution
- for you. I use Wilduucp from Online Computer Resources for use with Wildcat!.
- It includes a utility to convert BAGS into "munged" uucp type inbound files,
- and will simultaneously toss into Wildcat! message base and gate any or all
- areas into Fido style packets for distribution. It was designed to accomodate
- the "inbound only" Planet Connect or Pagesat satellite feeds, and send outbound
- to a standard domain such as a local provider.
-
- I use Squish, not Wildmail, to toss the gated packets as Wildmail is too slow
- to handle a full hub feed IMHO. OCR claims you need Wildmail but any flexible
- tosser such as Squish, QM, or Gecho can be configured to work with Wilduucp.
- Wilduucp itself does not distribute packets, it simply produces them to be
- tossed as normal inbound to your FTSC tosser. I'm sure there's probably a way
- to fool it to run without Wildcat as well.
-
- As I said, this is probably not a solution for you, but there is a package out
- there that does what you're looking for, and I understand that similar programs
- are coming out for other BBS software, although I'm not sure about FTSC gating
- capability.
-
- I had the same exact experience with GIGO. It set up OK, and seemed to do the
- trick, but couldn't be run on one of my BBS nodes on the LAN which requires
- memory managers, TSRs and all kinds of tricks to get everything else to run.

- I was the guy that sent you a 300k pcusenet file with 3 bag files in it . net
- mail that I sent with the file said that one of the bags was hanging the
- program but the others processed just fine . I waited for a week and had not
- heard back from you so I tryed all the other programs that I mentioned but none
- of them did what I needed it to do so I called you and downloaded .6 and gave
- it a try . All the problems I had with .4 I continued to have with .6 so I gave
- up completly and told all my points that what thay where SOL and thay would
- never see Internet out of my system again . At this point one of my points came
- to see me and asked me to try again with a little program that he found . So to
- shut the guy up I tryed it . To my suprise it made every thing work just fine .
- I run it on the bag files and it restores them to the standards that you are
- talking about . It takes the bags apart and scans for news groups that you
- specifiey and then repacks the bag file but only with news groups you wanted .
- there is also a config file that tells it what to put in the info spaces in the
- bag file when it repacks it. like TO: FROM: NEWSGROUPS: . It writes them in
- the message and them packs the message back in the bag. and stores the bag in a
- different directory. then I have XSH go to the processed bag files in the new
- directoies and process them . as the BAG files have had there ID lines rewriten
- and in the process only the news groups that I wanted are repacked thay are
- processed by XSH just fine and XSH at that point takes very little time to run
- . I had a look at the bag files that XSH had choked on and from what I could
- tell the only files it hung on where ones with one message in the bag that had
- been cross posted to ten or more areas and the news group names where more then
- 300 caricters long . I do not know if this was the problem but that is the only
- weard thing I saw in the bags that messed up. As for changes in version .6 none
- of them pertain to me . I am using XSH to toss the messages into *.MSG files
- and then thay are processed by Gecho so all I am using it for is sorting the
- messages and files them in the right directory long enough for gecho to come in
- and toss them out into mail bags for my points. When I got .6 I tryed to have
- it toss them into a hudson base but this still will not work in .6 . I am not
- sure if this was as a result of it not making it through all the message areas
- with out me having to reboot because XSH stoped on a bad bag or if it is
- something wrong with the code but every time I tryed it it nuked my message
- header file and I lost my whole message base (thank heavens for backups)<G>. I
- look forward to seeing wether or not you have any luck getting a handle on this
- problem Jason and if I can give you a hand with bugreports I will keep sending
- them. I would not give to much mind to the fools that say that " The programer
- must be terrible " . I don't see any of them writing better. As a mater of fact
- there are only about three or four programs out that are trying to do what XSH
- is trying. So just flip them the bird and keep on pluging . later Guy.

- This is the question I asked about last time when I expresed concerenes about
- not having an internet address and it beeing a required field. Have you any
- plans for an areamgr feature that would allow remote users to connect and

- I just took a look at the HD on the Computer connected to the Satelite Dish.
- not counting the Space for MSDOS 5.0, or any files in my TOOLS/UTILITY
- directory..
-
- Just the Planet Connect utilities, Plus the 15 Plus megs of NEWSGROUP Internet
- Bundles, and 18 megs of FILEBONE stuff, plus an average of 8 to 10 megs of the
- 700 plus FidoNet Backbone mail, not counting all the other stuff that comes in
- over the Satellite every day..
-
- IMHO, a 40 meg drive is way to small.. a 60 meg drive might be big enough for
- the bare minimum.. but you would have to move 90 % of the stuff off of it as
- soon as it came in and optimize the drive often..
-
- Also, it's been my experience that you need at least a 286/12 oe /16 mhz with 1
- meg or more with a 16550AFN Uart Chip on the RS232, or your experience lots of
- CRC Errors on the Files/Mail Bundles received..
-
- My setup uses two seperate computers..
- a 386dx40 with a 345meg IDE connected to the Dish and all Files and Mail are
- then transfered from the 386 to my 486dx33 via a LAN setup and the mail bundles
- are then processed for delivery by my 486.. with has 2 345meg IDE HD's..

- When I renewed my PC subscription last time, you mentioned that the newsgroups
- would be protected on the data stream in about a week, so I subscribed at that
- time. That was over three weeks ago, and they are still comming over for all
- to receive, yet I and probably many others are paying for a newsgroup
- subscription. Will our accounts be credited for this time delay in protecting
- the newsgroup feed?
-
- Another question.. If this bottleneck, time-lag problem persists at your
- newsgroup source, will you find another source? Week old mail isn't going to
- draw very many subscribers to the newsgroups.
-
- Cheers,
- Rob

- Joe,
- I'm running a single computer system here with the satellite data receiver,
- Spitfire v3.4, and a Microcom Deskporte FAST ES 28.8 modem. I haven't noticed
- any problems with other modems connecting to mine.
- There are two other SF BBS's in my area running Microcom modems (one is the

- Hi Boyd,
- I'm not sure who's in charge of the Planet Connect company but I feel
- someone should be aware the disorganization concerning service. First,
- I greatly appreciated the extremely quick response in sending me a new
- LNB...called one afternoon and had the LNB the next morning...I was
- very impressed....sorry to say that didn't fix the problem. I called
- back the next day and was told that I needed a new KU band receiver.
- The problem, though, was that you (Planet Systems) didn't have any in
- stock and I'd have to wait till a shipment came in. The person I talked
- to didn't have any idea how long it would be and assured me that there
- would be no need to call back...as soon as one came in, it would be
- shipped out to me. Okay....I figured I'd not be a bother as I'm sure
- you were very busy with the new company. I waited a week and called
- back. I was then told something about the shipment being held up in the
- Canadian/US customs and it should be arriving within a few days. Okay,
- I've run a business before and understand backorders and other delays.
- I waited another week before calling. This time I was told there was
- absolutely no record of me needing a receiver. I'll let you guess how
- high my blood pressure got<grin>. I prey this is an isolated case. I'm
- sure you can imagine the hardship being without your service has caused
- me. On the otherhand, I certainly don't mind being sent a renewal
- notice quoting a single user price when I'm refeeding. Between poor
- service and underquoting the subscription, I'm surprised ya'll are
- still in business<grin>. Thanks for letting me vent some frustration
- and I look forward to a long association with Planet Connect. Mistakes
- can happen and I'm sure that's all it was. (I'll call and get the
- subscription boo-boo straighten out.)

- Hmm, that depends on how you're going to do the processing. I'd recommend
- dedicating a computer to the satellite dish -- have that computer's task only
- being sucking in data from the bird. You can then send the data that your
- "dish computer" gets to another computer via a network link or a serial cable
- null modem for processing.
-
- The amount of disk space you'll need on your "dish computer" is pretty
- trivial. If you delete files after they're sent off to your "processing
- computer" for processing, then if you keep things tidy you can get away with a
- 40 meg drive in your "dish computer."
-
- As far as the amount of disk space you'll need on your processing computer,
- this of course will depend on how many links you are feeding. You can figure
- this computer will be holding 5-10 megs of archived mail files (for planning
- purposes use the high figures), which will extract into 10-25 megs of *.PKT
- files during echomail processing. You'll then get anywhere from 5-15 megs of
- file-echos each day for processing. Gee, that adds up to quite a bit now,
- doesn't it?! :-) Figure on needing *at least* 60 megs or so to process mail
- and files, more if you're feeding a lot of downlinks.
-
- Of course, by using pass-thru areas for echomail conferences you can avoid
- having to carry everything on your hard drives, and you'll probably want to
- kill file areas quickly (there's a ton of "delete files older than X days"
- utilities out there). So you don't really need a whole lot of space over and
- above that 60+ megs, but like I said, if I were you I'd dedicated a machine to
- handling the dish traffic and figure at least 60 megs of disk space on another
- machine for processing the data.

- Not a clue for you, on this one, especially since that is my exact setup over

- When you show me an internet standard for it, yes, I'll make you an areafix
- parser. Unfortunately, there _is_ no standard method for internet sites to
- request what they want. In addition, GIGO is only going to be a feed to your

- fidonet software will have to handle the hubbing requirements if you are

-
- If you want what I use for _my_ host, I'll be glad to give it to you - but it

- Boyd:
-
- Last week there was a fair amount of spirited discussion regarding some RIME
- mail packets that had apparently been rezipped (altering the zip date/time)
- after receipt from Bonnie.
-
- This problem surfaced when some of the mail packets had corrupted zip headers,
- but the originals from Bonnie with the original file dates/times were clean and
- spotlessly good.
-
- Also, there was some debate on the single transmissions of the RIME zips and
- how to identify/handle "missing" mail packets in a sequence of 5-8 zip packets
- daily.
-
-
- Questions:
-
- 1. Has PC taken any steps to prevent any re-zipping/date alterations
- or other things which could alter the integrity of the RIME
- mail packets?
-
- 2. Would a second transmission of the RIME packets daily be an
- immediate option, to overlap and correct any "missing" situations?
-
- Suggestion: Transmit all mail net packets/files thru TWO full
- cycles. Then transmit the other "regular" files. Mail integrity
- is my *first* and *foremost* concern. I delete most of the junk
- files and my reasons for use of your PC services focuses around
- the RIME mail in super-crucial mode.
-
- Your prompt response would be appreciated greatly. And I would be happy to
- convey its contents to others voicing these same concerns.
-
- Thank you.

- I didn't want to alarm you Bill . I am running Lantastics AI as well . I do not

- Can your program work without BBS software. I am using FrontDoor non-comercial

- pays to refeed. Things change, but I currently don't want to have BBS software
- up. (I prefer to understand my system, rather then just operate it) It would

-
- Question. What makes RIME any more special than FIDO, or ROSENET, or UNINET,
- or INTELECT? Your Admin wanted them to be added during the day. We did not (and
- still dont) have the uplink program setup for adding files on the fly. We do
- not uplink from here. We have to send everything via landline to the uplink. We
- have no way of knowing how many megs we will be sending a day so it is hard to
- tell you "Your files will be going over at 8 am and at 8 pm for any new files
- sent in during the day." Files were added at 8 pm on the 11th and only went
- over the sat at 1:30 am on the 12th. Did you get them? Not everyone (in rime)
- that uses our system is receiving 24 hours a day. Has your admin taken this
- into concideration? Has your admin told you all what we had to do to be allowed
- to send RIME mail over the satellite? Has your admin told you how we bent over
- backwards to make changes for them and then they go and make the files
- available thru FTP on the internet? There goes your security. We are doing our
- best here to make everything work for everybody. We have problems and we are
- working on fixing them. By doing things to suite RIME we have to be very
- carefully that we dont screw things up for everone else. I appreciate your
- ideas and will follow up on them.

- Thank you for saying this! It was long overdue. Why break other

- on PC's shoulder as to why it didn't get sent out the minute they

-
- Everything is working, fit RIME into the picture, don't fit the

- has to cooperate in the moving of the mail via this medium and not
- make accommodations for any one network.

-
- In a sense, yes. GoMail looks at any new messages and checks the
- Seen-bys on each message. If there is no 1:3615/50 in the

- containing a copy of the new message.
-
- BS} It would seem to me that the messages coming from Planet Connect have no
- BS} Seen-Bys in them so the program does not know not to return them to
- BS} Planet Connect.
-
- That would cause the problem. The messages come in here with the
- 1:3615/50 in the seen-bys. Are you by chance stripping the
- seenbys off when importing the messages? You might try saving
- the SEENBY lines in the BBS message. That will allow you to

- Bill there has to be in your gomail configuration a alias of
- 1:3615/51. Mail is tossed from 1:3615/50 to 1:3615/51. Everyone
- connected to Planet Connect has to asume the alias of 1:3615/51.
- The only problem I ever had with Gomail not working correctly was
- when it tossed to another node using Gomail and I would get
- everything back from that node as dups until I contacted Scott
- Green and got that little buglet taken care of. Might want to
- look in your Gomail Doc file for his home phone number and
- request that file from him which puts your real address in as a
- seen-by so any downlinks will not retoss back to you if they are
- using Gomail. Also you will have to watch your Dupmsg.xxx files
- and delete them ever so often or dump a bunch of mail. I have a
- little utility I wrote that dumps these files when they reach a
- certain size and do some error traping with my batch file to
- prevent any loss of mail should something go crazy and cause
- Gomail to abort.
- Here is a sample of my batch file to trap any aborted mail and
- make sure it is not vaporized by Gomail when everything goes
- wrong which it usually does every once in awhile.

-
- Yes, it is simpler for the software to handle it by deletion, but it does muck
- around with the drive. I wonder if the software could be modified so we could
- set up a RAM drive as a buffer (two to four meg) and delete the files after
- receipt, but before a disk write?
- Trying to do it before receipt would slow things down, but a buffer could
- function faster than the modem transfer rate, I think.
-
- It would require retiring some 286's but less drive wear and tear would
- probably pay for the upgrade in the long run. I believe for many of us, RAM, a
- network card, and the hard drive are to only "real" expenses on our receiving
- machines.

-
- Well, I've been on the C-Band system since day one and have had the same
- receiver since then also. No problems here. As far as pros and cons, that would
- be difficult for me to make a proper judgement even though I have been in the
- satellite business for over 10 years. The mail and files coming in is the same
- and as long as you receive them, it would make no difference. The major
- difference will be in outside hardware, mainly a C-Band dish versus a Ku dish.
- That would be personal preference. Later!

- The wait is VERY frustrating! I know!
-
- I'm suspecting that the receivers are the same for both C-Band and
- Ku-Band. But, what I know about satellite stuff could be put in a thimble.
-
- My Ku-band set-up has been running since April 19th. The only problem

-
- I urge EVERYone to write down the switch settings on the bottom of the
- receiver. I carried mine out to the dish and bumped several of the switches,

- Write down those settings that are working for you!

- Ken, The best way is to use IBM Lan Server on your BBS machine and IBM DOS Lan
- requester on the Planet Connect machine with it pointed to the harddisk on the
- BBS machine. Everything that comes in from PlanetC simply goes to the harddisk
- on the BBS machine. The server software takes very little CPU time and is just
- another running process with most of the software already built in to OS/2. It
- wouldn't take anymore processing power than a Telecom program running all the
- time through a null modem (probably less). With this setup you virtualy never
- have to exit from the PTCCMAIN running on the PlanetC DOS machine to process
- your mail, and can process the mail as soon as it comes in without waiting for
- the Filebone and other stuff to finish. The DOS machine would need only a very
- small harddisk and enough heft to run PlanetC and the IBM Lan requestor (10 meg
- harddisk or less, 386/16 and 2-4 meg of RAM with a good 16550 serial card).
- You might not even need a harddisk. If you decide to go this way, buy only the
- Basic IBM Lan Server package (not the advanced) as it has everything you need
- including DOS Lan Requester.
-
- The cheapest way is what the other guy already told you about only if you
- already have another box with a good size harddisk. i.e. Using a telecom
- program on both machines and a null modem, but you'll need a lot more harddisk
- space. So, if you don't already have the harddisk, then it's just as
- inexpensive to go with the Lan setup as it is to buy a good size harddisk.
- And, a LOT better setup, and tossing the mail several hours earlier.
-
- Works for me,
- Wally

-
- * Original To : All, in PCSITES
- * Original From: Bill Clark, 1:100/602.1
- * Original Date: May 15 19:35
-
- I've read with interest the comments regarding problems/failures of the KU Band
- data receiver and can concur with problems related to heat buildup in the
- receiver without use of a cooling fan, inexplicable errors in receiving files
- when weather is not possibly a factor (and no apparent reason to have block
- errors during receipt, i.e., no bird on LNB, no airplane in the path between
- the receiver and satellite), etc.
-
- However, I am more disturbed by design deficiencies in the Automatic Gain
- Circuitry of the KU Band data receiver. Here, if signal gets reduced by
- weather to the point where the receiver alarms, if there is a lightning strike
- within two to three miles of the data receiver/dish, or something else blocks
- receipt of the signal from the satellite and the receiver alarms, when the
- signal is restored, the AGC circuit in the receiver begins to oscillate. The
- signal strength meter dips to zero and then quickly rises far upscale, only to
- drop back to zero, then quickly rise, ad infinitum. When the AGC circuit is
- oscillating, no data gets received, or what data does get received is trashed
- blocks. The only way to stop oscillation of the AGC circuit with the receiver
- here is to reduce the "meter sensitivity" control all the way to zero and then
- slowly turn the control clockwise until the meter is in the range for normal
- reception. Note that this AGC oscillation can also be triggered here by a
- complete power loss, or by unplugging the data receiver power supply, waiting
- until the capacitors in the power supply drain off, and then plugging the power
- supply back in. I've not mentioned the loss of AC power earlier, since my
- Planet Connect receiver and computer are run off an uninterruptible power
- supply capable of totally powering the system for up to one hour or longer with
- total loss of AC power.
-
- I called Planet Systems the first week of May about the AGC circuit oscillation
- problem in the data receiver and talked to a gentleman in Tech Support named
- Bruce. I was very concerned as during two days of heavy rain in the St Louis
- area, the receiver went into oscillation five times. Had I not been present in
- the area of the receiver and able to "fix" the problem, no data would have been
- received on those days. Also, a few days after the heavy rainstorms, and with
- me no more than five feet away from the receiver and within view of the
- satellite dish 35 feet away, the receiver suddenly alarmed and went into the
- AGC circuit oscillation condition. Weather conditions at that time were clear,
- and a quick check of the dish and the sky between the receiver and the
- satellite revealed no reason why the receiver should have alarmed. Bruce told
- me the KU band receivers (the IDC receiver) suffer from this defect and the
- only cure for the problem was what I had already discovered - turning the
- "meter sensitivity" control all the way down and slowly turning the gain back
- up. I told Bruce that the design deficiency in the receiver did not bode well
- for systems which must be left unattended for any length of time, since the AGC
- circuit oscillation will not stop of its own accord. I myself, am off on
- vacation in the mid-July timeframe, and unattended operation during that period
- will be in effect. I asked Bruce about a swapout of the receiver I have, and
- he indicated a swapout would do no good, as the replacement would likely have
- the same identical problem.
-
- I've not seen this AGC circuit oscillation problem with the KU band data
- receiver mentioned in PCSITES or PLANET_CONNECT, so am interested in whether
- the receiver I have is defective and Bruce was "blowing smoke", or if this is a
- common problem. If the problem is common, then the IDC KU band data receivers
- suffer from serious design shortcomings, as no quality receiver of any type on
- loss of signal or power, should go into AGC circuit oscillation when signal or
- power is restored. Can you imagine how many satellite TV receivers would be
- sold if they had AGC circuit oscillation problems, or TV receivers, or FM
- radios, or cellular phones, or, or....?

- Danny,
- My 'C' band setup has been online since late in September, 1993, and seems to
- be operating flawlessly. Regarding pros and cons 'C' band vs. 'Ku' band, you've
- no doubt read the main ones: 'C' band is a bit more immune to dropouts due to
- "frog-strangler" rains. However, 'Ku' band dropouts are NOT all that common in
- any event; it's nearly 6 of one, half-dozen of the other.
-
- It is important with any electronic component to keep it cool. If it feels HOT,
- it's in need of cooling. Also, it's been my experience and that of many others
- that a good UPS is worth its weight in gold when it comes to system
- reliability. Chances are real good that your power isn't nearly as good as you
- might think it is, and many little problems with modems and your BBS go away
- after connecting things to a decent UPS. One might help folks who have problems
- with their PC receiver, too.

- To repeat my favorite tech support maxim:
-
- "The Quality of the HELP you will receive is directly proportional

-
- Sorry to hear your having problems with the KU-band setup...
- You did not say what size KU-Dish you have? 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft?
- and your geographical location may be another factor?
-
- in the 5 months or so that I've been connected, I have not had those problems,
- I set my sensitivity between 6 & 7, and so far, several power outages, thunder
- storms, high winds up to 60 mph, and rain under 1 inch per hour has no
- significant effect on my setup, it keeps on bringing in the mail to my 386dx40
- with a 16550afn Uart, with very few CRC errors..
-
- both power failures and a few times when we had heavy Rain of 3 inches per hour
- or greater, do cause my receiver to go into Alarm, but as soon as the rain lets
- up, or the power is restored, my receiver contenues to function, without any
- adjustments from me...
-
- and ever since I lined up my KU-Band dish, I have only had to re-adjust it
- twice in five months...
-
- in my setup, I have a 3 foot KU-Band dish on a Floor Mount with eight Cendar
- blocks to hold in in place.. located about 50 feet from my computer, but on a
- 100 foot cable due to the routing of the cable..
-
- I have a UPS for my two Computers, but no room to plug the PC-Receiver into
- it.. so the Receiver is pluged into a good Surge protector..
-
- as you have probable seen on the evening News, Central TEXAS has had a lot of
- heavy rain, lightning, hail and tornadic winds in the last few weeks..

- Hi Bill,
- I have experience the exact same problem you describe, but only once, and
- it was when I un[lugged the reciever to move it to another part of the house.
- When I plugged it in, it began to oscillate as you describe. I thought it
- might be broke, but once I pulled the plug, waited for a few seconds and
- plugged it back in, it worked fine.
- I have not had the ability to see if this does it when the receiver goes
- into alarm, because it has only happened twice (both during heavy snowfalls)
- and with the receiver being in my bedroom, I simply unplugged it to stop the
- noise so I could go back to sleep.....but I see your concern.
- The only other "problem" I can say about the Ku receivers is that when you
- plug them in (after being powered down) it sometimes takes up to 15 seconds for
- the alarm to stop and for the siganl to get locked in....this has sent my blood
- pressure up more than once, wondering if the receiver was ever going to lock
- on, but it has. Guess I'm just a little parinoid because this is my second
- receiver...the first one only worked for about 2 minutes and then something
- blew, leaving me with the ipression that they are all very, very fragile, which
- may not be the case.
- Anyway, good to hear your story....glad to hear mine is acting "normal" so

-
- BG Question. What makes RIME any more special than FIDO, or ROSENET, or
- BGUNINET, or INTELECT? Your Admin wanted them to be added during
-
- Nothing makes RIME "more special" Boyd. I hope that all networks get the best
- service they can possible get in the most timely manner they can get it in. I
- am pretty sure that is what everyone wants. Every network has its own "flavor"
- and we at RIME just want to keep our "flavor," just as I am sure other networks
- wish to keep their "flavor." Asking for dependable, reliable, timely service is
- not asking for anything special, is it?
-
- BGthe day. We did not (and still dont) have the uplink program BGsetup for
- adding files on the fly. We do not uplink from here.
-
- Is this something that you are going to improve in the future? It is my
- understanding that there are files that you already "add on the fly" several
- times a day, so there must be some mechanism in place to do that with those
- other files, no?
-
- BGis hard to tell you "Your files will be going over at 8 am and BGat 8 pm for
- any new files sent in during the day." Files were BGadded at 8 pm on the 11th
- and only went over the sat at 1:30 am BGon the 12th. Did you get them? Not
- everyone (in rime) that uses
-
- why not? why can't folks know within some time span, of say 30 mintues to an
- hour, when specific mail files will be sent? It is pretty standard from day to
- day isn't it? Also, it is my understanding that some files circulate for long
- periods of time, i.e. some files are not removed on a daily basis. What are
- the constraints that prevent you from allowing a mail packet, regardless of
- when it was added, to circulate for 24 hours before it is removed? Or even 48
- hours? Can the receiving software recognize whether a file has been received
- and not receive it again? Making the distribution of mail files "intelligently"
- handled by the software would help all networks, no? Nothing special there
- right?
-
- BGour system is receiving 24 hours a day. Has your admin taken BGthis into
- concideration? Has your admin told you all what we
-
- yes, we have taken it into consideration. In fact, it was something that is
- important to our network and has been from the start. If the files would come
- down in some organized fashion, within limits, folks could have their systems
- "listening" at the correct times. No? That might appeal to all folks on all
- networks, no?
-
- BGHas your admin told you how we bent over backwards to make BGchanges for them
- and then they go and make the files available BGthru FTP on the internet? There
- goes your security. We are
-
- I didn't realize that you were all that knowledgeable about how RIME was using
- the Internet and whether the files are secure or not.
-
- Your information, even if it is based on something someone told you, is
- inaccurate. The files going over the Internet are more secure than those coming
- over the satellite; they are not going in the manner you may have imagined they
- were.
-
- In addition and talking about security, I understand, from reading Tom
- Tcimipidis's message in here that the security on the donegal has been violated
- and a gentleman from FIDO, who is not a member of RIME stated in this
- conference:
-
- "This is interesting. I'll be curious to see how Boyd and the folks at PC
- handle this. For myself, and, logically, people who I do mail with, our first
- and foremost concern is the FidoNet mail. My system simply tosses the Rime mail
- into the bit bucket."
-
- I wonder how he has access to the RIME mail to toss it out? Could you help me
- out here and explain to me how he has it in the first place or was that simply
- an idle comment? Is there security then or not?
-
- In addition, you actually developed the security for ILink, so it was not
- something you did, uniquely, just for us.
-
- BGdoing our best here to make everything work for everybody. We
-
- We also are doing our best to work within the limits imposed.
-
- BGhave problems and we are working on fixing them. By doing BGthings to suite
- RIME we have to be very carefully that we dont BGscrew things up for everone
- else. I appreciate your ideas and BGwill follow up on them.
-
- We would not want you to "suite <sic> RIME" and mess things up for others. I
- simply don't know where you got that idea. Not from anything I said I hope.
-
- However, we also would not want you to do things for others and mess us up
- either. I would hope you would always consider each and every network as
- "special", unique and important and you would be striving to satisfy each and
- everyone of them as much as you possibly could.
-
- We all want to work together to make this cost effective for the sysops and to
- enhance their BBSs with the bottom line being user satisfaction. To do that
- most effectively, we have to know what the limits of the system is and you have
- to know what we want from the system and we have to strike some grounds that
- works for both ends.

- No, you can tell the Zoom to report back the modem-to-modem speed, or else
- you can have it report back your locked port speed (e.g. 38400 or 57600 or
- whatever). It's flexible as far as what it reports when it connects.
-
- About the Zoom modem echo, from what I've seen there a lot of the users
- don't have a clue about modems -- period. Basic things like setup strings give
- some people in the echo fits. It's nothing like the caliber of users in, say,
- the HST echo.
-
- I'd say that 70% of the people complaining there just don't have a clue as
- how to set up a high speed modem and so have "operator" problems; about 20% are
- victims of disinformation (such as people falsely reporting that the Zoom
- supports Caller ID (it doesn't yet) or that people need to swap their ROMs out
- for the ROM version that is only used in external modems, etc.). I'd guess
- about 5% of the people in the echos with problems are simply complaining about
- not being able to get a full 28.8k connect on real dirty phone lines, leaving
- 5% or less with "real" problems.
-

-
- I understand that, but you must also understand that there were networks on
- here way before Rime came on line. That is were my alliance lies. Ask some of
- the fido guys/gals in here what would happen if I sent a fidonet mail bundle
- over at 8 pm in the evening. It is hard to tell someone that your new mail will
- be going over the satellite at 8 pm when you dont know how much data you have
- to send over the satellite. One day we can have as low as 40 megs going and the
- next day as high as 60.

-
- These are the weather files which are produced at the uplink and copied
- over the network to the outbound at certain times of the day. Since these files
- are always the same name and extention it is quite simple to do. When you have
- a file that has different names everyday then that is quite harder to do, as
- then you do not have anything constant to work on.
-

-
- Because there is no constant in the amount of data we send each day.

-
- Like it was nothing special to added the encryption for the rime files
- right? Also there are a couple of good utilities that were written by a few of
- our users that handle the file dupes.

-
- Well then when a set of files only went out at 1:30 am how come the next day
- I got calls from Rime users asking why it was this way. When I told them they
- would have to leave there system on 24 hours a day just to get Rime mail they
- were quite upset. Did you take into concideration those out there that use
- thier dish for both data and tv?

-
- If we had 48 megs going over every day, day in, day out, then it would be
- no problem. We could say "Well Rime will go over at 8:45 am and 8:45 pm." Since
- we move about 6 megs and hour you can judge it. But what if one day it is 35
- megs and the next 56? Hard to put a time frame now on it.

-
- Well I know a bit about Internet and how it functions.

-
- Do tell! Please Bonnie, you are not talking to someone who knows nothing
- about the internet.
-

- > was that simply an idle comment? Is there security then or not?
-
- I suggest that you do not quote any of the boys in here if you do not have
- any understanding of the terms or sayings that are used on here. I believe the
- gentleman that you quoted has replied to you about this. Also on the DONGLE. I
- have heard rumours since day one that the LOCK has beeen broken. I have yet to
- see a broken copy. You know, rumours are a great conversational piece.
-

- > something you did, uniquely, just for us.
-
- I think you should take one step back and refresh your memory real good. We
- were not even out of beta when you were contacted to allow us to send Rime over
- the satellite. We got back from One-bbs-con and there was a message on the
- answering machine from you stating that RIME can be sent but changes to Rime's
- software had to be developed first. We said ok. Ilink was not in the picture as
- of yet. Your memory getting better? Good. We also talked about a secure means
- and we started working on encryption which led to the 02/16 release of the
- software. Just to set the record straight, Ilink is now going over the
- satellite but are not using our encryption format. There have thier own type
- and goes over the satellite in the clear.
-
- > We also are doing our best to work within the limits imposed.
-
- Satellite delivery will never be like the landbase system.
-

-
- Remember the phone conversation we had when I told you how the system
- works? Remember how upset you got when I told you that things are setup for a
- once a day drop-off to the satellite? Remember how upset I got when you told me
- that Joe said that it could be added at anytime to the cycle? I got quite upset
- because I know that Joe would never say that to anyone. So Joe said we will try
- to add it after each cycle. And that is what we are doing. So we did do
- something to "suite <sic> RIME". We were lucky that it did not cause and major
- problems.
