FidoNet doesn't have a net-wide dictator or net.god who can tell the entire network what is and what is not appropriate. FidoNet basically runs on three principles: don't break the law, don't be too easily annoyed, and don't be excessively annoying. Appropriate behavior in the FidoNet depends on each individual conference. What may be appropriate in the GAYLINK conference might not be 'appropriate' in the INTEL_MODEMS conference, and/or vice versa. RS> 2.

I don't know what a "CH" is, but I assume it's something like a moderator. In the FidoNet most echomail conferences (but surely not all) have a moderator. That moderator is the "dictator" of that ONE conference. If the moderator proves to be a twit and is oppressive, then people either put up with it, or perhaps simply "migrate" somewhere else to another conference, or they start a rival conference to subvert the twit-like moderator's echo. .

One attacks the other replys six more jump in, people are asked to stop and lets get on with something else and they are ignored and things continue as they have been going. We all know right from wrong and have to control our own actions. Tim and I, two people trying to make this a good information area can't control everyone if they do not want to apply self control.

We can cut off but I'd rather not do this. -> I, for one, would be willing to agree to any decent conditions that -> you might be willing to *REQUIRE MANDATORY* to all participants here.

For two weekends in a row now, your uplink has stopped sending at the end of the cycle, in the middle of the Rime packets, which are in the secure.lst. When it resumes, it resumes with non-secure files, possibly without resetting the program, which is still looking for secure files. When it stops on non-secure files, and resumes on non-secure files, it appears to work just fine. Hope this might be of some help to your finding a solution to the problem.

Simply hook into the DOS interrupt and then go resident. Whenever PTCCMAIN's temp file is renamed (assuming that one is simply using the ramdisk as a buffer), remember the new name, and open the file again. Then, whenever PTCCMAIN writes the next file to the ramdisk, sneak in a read from the previously closed file, and then write to the hard disk. Since everything can be done during DOS calls by the foreground program, there is no need to worry about the problems and undocumented functions associated with calling DOS from the timer tick. The result is a TSR that follows all of DOS's rules. --Scott. --- timEd 1.00 * Origin: The Wizard, 554-5331, sponsored by Abacus PC's, 634-8006 (1:395/11) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ROBERT HILGAR Number: 1592 To: BILL WERELEY Date: 06/03/94 5:13a Subj: Am i all alone......

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No MSGID: 1:142/515 538f8f50 PID: GE 1.02+ I just recently got my planet connect system up and running, and decided to setup the UseNet message bases. I read a message that comes over the satellite system daily, and it refers to a date of 12/93. Stating that Planet connect is sending out newsgroup messages, averaging about 50Mg per day. It also mentions at the time of 12/93 that Planet Connect wasn't ablle to handle replies to usenet messages yet, and that hopefully within a 60 day period that they would. I subscribed to everything planet connect offers. My problem is this, I have to use a BAG tosser, WaterGate, to handle all the messges, no problem. BUT I cannot find a message anywhere that says where the replies can be sent back to. The setup I have now, will toss out the BAGS, but then will decide that all of them should be bundled up and sent to Holonet, where I have an account, and thought that all newsgroup replies go to Holonet. There is NO WAY that I can stop WaterGate from thinking that every BAG in from Planet Connect is also for Holonet, basically It wants to send Holonet this 40Mgs of mail. Its not as simple as routing the Fidonet mail, and I haven't been able to find an answer on this problem at all, and dont want to start sending replies to Planet Connect, unless they are setup for NewsGroup replies. Any help would BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. BTW: I thought there was a FLAME echo for some of the messages I saw in this area!!!!! ... Help!

What can the TSR program key on? If you watch incoming files you will first notice that they each have a different number of blocks... second (and here is the part that is being overlooked) the Ptccmain program always does the renaming BEFORE the blocks expected is reached by the blocks received. So when would the TSR become active? If blocks expected equal 44 the blocks received will never reach 44. Since no two files have the same number of blocks the TSR programmer can't tell it when to rename the temp file. The only way a program could possibly do what we are talking about is if it monitors the incoming data watching for the same end of file marker that Ptccmain is keying on... HOWEVER this means that BOTH the TSR (or program running in another window in a multi-tasking environment) and Ptccmain would simultaneously attempt to access the temp file. In my professional? opinion I would bet that Ptccmain would win the race to rename the temp file if this rig-a-ma-roe didn't get a share violation. --- timEd-A10c * Origin: Center of the Cosmos 205-824-2611 (1:3625/441) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CHUCK WARREN Number: 1641 To: BILL ARLOFSKI Date: 06/08/94 6:37a Subj: Moving mail files Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No BA-> > * Origin: Code Plus BBS * 14.4k & Satellite! * 912-953-1053 BA-> ^^^^^^^^^ BA->Hi Chuck, WOW!

Well the setup I have now is I am using WaterGate to Process the Usenet Newsgroups, and also once a night scan the newsgroups for outgoing mail. For all the other nets I am currently in, I am using Gecho 1.02r, which so far has proven to be pretty good... I do notice that WaterGate will put MY origin line on all of the newsgroups when tossing them into my message base, and I cant figure out why, might be that it does that by default, but also I had a problem with WaterGate tosdsing the BAGS from Planet Connect, it would toss mail into my base, then it would pack up mail for my internet site!! So I found a cute fixc for that problem: WTRUTIL TOSSUSE -NOEXPORT, fixed all my problems with tossing mail. I would of used gecho for all of it, but between getting 3000 exterrnal utilities just so that I could process everything was getting out of hand, so this way at least I have WaterGate Handling NewsGroups and Gecho Handling Fidonet style mail, next thing to do is ATTEMPT to get WaterGate to speed up a bit, see I am putting ALL 4300 newsgroups in (Yes, I've cracked), and I notice that when I put the paths to the Jambase for each area, and save it, it takes 20-30 seconds to come back out so that I can do the next area!!!!!!! ...

VERY early on I talked to someone, a real OS/2 guru type who said he was running under OS/2 without any problem. Since we have been trying, we have run into many problems associated with the dongle, timing, and of course processor consumption. These are all problems that Boyd, our programmer, Aztek, and folks from IBM have been working on and we hope that each day will prove to be more successful that the one before. Numerous folks are capable of running under OS/2, but their machine stays so busy it will not allow anything else to run. With all of the things both with Planet Connect and SKYLINK that I am doing, I miss some of the progress with this issue. I will try to keep up and post here a progress report on the OS/2 issue and any others that may be relevant. .....Thanks,... .....Johnny ... │ Home of Planet Connect and Skylink Communications. │ --- PPoint 1.76 * Origin: Planet Systems, Skylink 615-623-8300 (1:3615/50.4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ROB MCKEE Number: 1673 To: JEFF WARD Date: 06/07/94 10:24a Subj: Re-zipping Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Jeff Ward wrote in a message to Jerry Shenk: > I just posted a message about how to pull in USENET stuff. > My software is set up to handle .X & .D files.

This is the one written by Keith Ledbetter and previously distributed as SST 5.3, but he sold all his code to McAfee a couple of years ago. McAfee made some very minor cosmetic changes to it, and renamed it "Target" ver 1.5. Target has a plethora of command line options and can search for files by filespec, in a single directory, in the current directory and all below it, on a whole drive, or on all logged drives (except floppies) including network drives. In addition to filespec (wildcards ok) search criteria can include age of the file (older or newer than n days) size (greater than, less than, or both) file attributes. By using the -c command line option, Target will exectue a DOS command on each file found, or use the -o command line option to write these commands to a batch file for later execution. TARGET15.ZIP 70504 07-21-92 McAfee's Target ver 1.5 - This is the best File Finder utility I've found. Many, many command line options. Can even create batch files for you. If you can't find it locally to you, it's available on McAfee's BBS at 408-988-4004, or you're welcome to freq it from here (v32b/v42b) any time but ZMH.

When we were in Atlanta recently for COMMDEX, I had already planned the interview, but when I arrived at the hotel, turned on the TV set to my usual CNN, low and behold who was there but,.....you guessed it Ed Hopper. Now Ed and I have talked many times concerning his program and the backhaul that he provides to the INTERNET, so this was very reassuring to see that Ed's scope of influence goes much farther than what I had in mind. All this to say,...WATCH THE SHOW...!!! Along with Ed's interview will be one with Mark 'Sparky' Herring, and a feature on 28.8 modems, and ISDN line technology. Plus others. If you do not have a video receiver for your system, be sure and call the office so that we can fix you up with one, this helps a GREAT deal with insuring that your dish is on the satellite and other tech things, i.e. signal and such, but also it will enable you to catch some satellite TV as well. Some of this stuff is very interesting, KU especially with it's feeds that the networks use to move spontainious items across the air waves. It's really fun to watch all those dignifed network anchors and their guests ham it up and fuss about the differnet items they are having to cover. Very entertaining,.!

Todd, Only fools suggest that some sort of simple device attached to their systems will stop a lightning strike. That's not the point at all: the point is to prevent damage from a nearby strike. Example: I have an "Invisible Fence" (tm) for my dog; it consists of hundreds of feet of wire buried a few inches below the surface, connected to a transmitter. The dog wears a receiver collar that warns it when it approaches the wire. As you can well imagine, this buried wire has 2 properties: One, it'll probably NEVER see a direct lightning strike. And, Two, because it is a huge antenna, it will have quite high voltages from any closeby strikes. In fact, my transmitter was knocked out of commission twice by lightning. The company told me when I sent it in that they had a special surge protector, that if installed according to directions, would prevent any damage. They're so sure of it that they guarantee against damage if that thing is installed correctly. So, I bought one and installed it, and have had no problem since. THIS is why PC recommends installation of their surge protector on the coax between the receiver and LNB. --- FLAME v1.0/b * Origin: Toledo's TBBS, 14+ gigs, 150,000 files 313-854-6001 (1:234/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JIM DUNMYER Number: 1748 To: RANDY EDWARDS Date: 05/29/94 11:04a Subj: SIGNAL DEGRADATION Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No > Anyway, I wound up going with some coax marked RG-59/U.

You find those who use some sort of foul language every other word, and others who would rather die than let such words leave their lips. Some people are bothered by hearing/seeing such language, others are not. What makes you think that "rules" are appropiate? Methinks we have entirely too many of 'em in all facets of life as it is. Dunno about you, but I have MANY more important things to worry about than the language used in a mostly-sysop conference. --- FLAME v1.0/b * Origin: Toledo's TBBS, 14+ gigs, 150,000 files 313-854-6001 (1:234/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JIM DUNMYER Number: 1753 To: BOB WATSON Date: 06/07/94 5:11p Subj: NOT THE PHONE COMPANY Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Yessir, Bob, you sure showed all of us Fido people how much more restrained and mature you RIME folks are.

For every file that is saved by PTCCMAIN, several steps must occur, not necessarily in the order shown: 1. File size is set. 2. File is closed. 3. File is renamed. 4. A new dummy file is opened. For files that are rejected by PTCCMAIN, the following must occur: 1. File pointer is reset to the beginning. As you can see, there is a big difference between the two at the DOS level. The TSR probably would need to intercept all of those functions to keep track of what is going on. However, when PTCCMAIN attempts to close the file, the TSR would simply set the file pointer to the beginning and set a flag to start copying the file to the HD when PTCCMAIN makes any future calls to DOS.

Hardly, not even possible if the TSR is intercepting PTCCMAIN's calls to DOS. If you are doing it from another window, that might happen, but not with a TSR. All of this would be moot if PTCCMAIN made the decision as soon as the file started coming in, instead of after it is finished. If it made the decision first, it could then simply not write the file to disk at all, and DOS would never get called, and the only way to intercept the files would be to hack PTCCMAIN or write one's own replacement for PTCCMAIN. --Scott. --- timEd 1.00 * Origin: The Wizard, 554-5331, sponsored by Abacus PC's, 634-8006 (1:395/11) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BILL STARR Number: 1757 To: JACK WILLIAMS Date: 06/10/94 5:53p Subj: Re: software Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No -> -> In a message to Jack Williams <06-02-94 09:52> Danny Daniel wrote: -> -> DD> Jack please add me to your list as very interested. -> -> That I have done, Danny.

Bill, if possible the archives should all be extracted at once and then the *.PKT files sorted by date/time group. If done this way, you'll make sure that all of your messages are "in order" as far as the date/times that they were written. Of course, with reply linking, many folks don't worry about this too much.

But be aware, if your echomail software is decent, it'll probably do this date/time sorting when it tosses the mail. Squish, for example, does it this way. .

I don't view a Beta tester as someone who just wants free software--but someone who will devote the time and effort to assist in development of the software and documentation--and persons who will readily communicate their recommendations to me. Those who don't have available time and resources please don't bother. The EXTRACT.EXE program extracts just those messages from conferences which you desire from the Planet Connect downstream. Out of 20,000 downstream messages, you may only want 2,000.... and this program makes them available to your tosser while discarding all of the unwanted messages....

That's a different deal than the [othernet -> are distributed and accessed through regular public BBSs. Wrong. As a matter of fact, many of the State network people also maintain a Fidonet node number so that they are able to get Fidonet mail, etc. By having their own network, however, they are able to communicate with each other and not answerable to Fidonet officials. They have their own ZC who assigns the nets node numbers. If they used Fidonet node numbers to communicate with each other, then the *C chain (a voluntary group of individuals) has authority over a State agency and can control the States' communications removing a node if s(he) feels that node is violating FIDONET Policy 4. Also, under Fidonet Policy 4, the State agency services could be very easily construed as excessively annoying costing Fidonet volunteers money in the routing of netmail and echomail messages that are agency business. This was just one example of why some networks do not desire to use Fidonet node numbers and form their own network. I am not saying I agree or disagree with this, just pointing out the reasoning behind some of the networks desiring to use their own unique networks and not become a part of Fidonet. --Martin-- --- GOMail v1.2 [BETA] [92-0105] * Origin: Hackers World BBS 16.5 Gig - 24 lines (1:232/10) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: MARTIN BELCKE Number: 1807 To: MONTE CHAMBERS Date: 06/11/94 8:12p Subj: SIT Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No -> Can anyone tell me what all these .SIT file are?

One of the problems of a moderator is to draw the fine line between a flame (or bash), and simply a difference of opinion. There is also the problem that we can't see the facial expression of the writer, or hear the vocal inflections. As such, I, as a moderator, tend to be a bit more tolerant in my echoes, when the situation comes up. When you've got a LOT of people assembled together, it's harder to get everyone to get along harmoniously. So, there probably is more bashing/flaming being peerceived. ++ Sid ++ --- Alexi/Mail 2.00 (#2) * Origin: The Catalytic Star - Alexandria, VA 703-765-1751 (1:109/1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SID BALCOM Number: 1809 To: TIM HELTON Date: 06/11/94 9:57a Subj: Re-zipping Refer: NONE Read: 06/13/94 1:32p Private: No In a message of <Jun 09 16:48>, Tim Helton (1:369/41) writes: TH>>tim TH>>moderator TH>>p.s.

With UUCP connections, the .X file dictates what program to run etc, and specifies the .D file as the input to that program. It can be rnews, or rmail, or under other arrangments can be other programs. In the case of .BAG files, it will only be processed by rnews (or the equivalanet for your gateway software).

We went one step further and SHUT THE CURTAINS. No signal degragation(sp) at all. Keep in mind we are a little north latitude from Seattle, across the pond (Puget Sound). At least the positioning of the system and receiving the signal is no problem for TSCNet. As for service, we originally puchased Planet Connect to replace our UUCP source for the hundreds of Newsgroups we carry. TSCNet is a SuperRegional RIME Hub in the Pacific Northwest, and don't think we will be processing RIME from PC in the near future due a few problems which still exist. Overall, the system appears to be everything we anticipated and are generally happy with the service. We do plan to carry most of the other networks provided by PC, which brings up a quick question. As I understand Fido's policy, only a "regional node" of Fido can give a Fido address to someone in their area. Has anyone who had not carried Fido attempted to get a Fido address in their area...with an already established Fido network? We have a two-fold problem. The regional node here does not carry the majority of Fido topics. We can carry as many as our disk space can handle. Has anyone had a problem getting an address? Secondly, by carrying either/or Fido and Intelect, we would be perceived as "the bully on the block, taking away from the smaller BBS's". We have had discussions among other sysops and this is the general feeling towards our service. The last thing we want to do is alienate other sysops in the area...but on the other hand we would like to provide our callers with the wide range of networks. In addition, we will be getting a direct Internet connection in the next month which should greatly enhance services available. We hope in the long run to work with the other sysops in the area and come to some general agreement that can benefit everyone involved. --- * TSCNET * Silverdale/Seattle (206)692-2388 v32bis * 22 Nodes * PostLink(tm) v1.20 TSCNET (#1607) : RelayNet(tm) --- DB 1.52-OS/2/001251 * Origin: Blue Lake Systems RIME<=>FIDO GATE (1:105/285) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JERRY SHENK Number: 1832 To: DAVE DENNETT Date: 06/11/94 5:10p Subj: Usenet Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No DD> I wonder what the purpose of the .x file is then.

Well we stop tossing at the point where we missed something. 8*) Fortunately it is very rare that we _and_ the other dish sites in our CRP miss the same mail bundles, thus we can freq from them the ones we need. FYI, three of us are working together with Foxy & I doing the mail, another site doing the files & a third doing uselessnet. However, we all get everything so the others can freq whatever is needed. Thus far, redundancy has worked for us. Of the three sites, two are Ku and the third is C-band, which we feel increases our chances of success. However, days like today make me feel very good in that we got everything on the first pass ['cept RIME, of course]. As to the tossing, the incoming mail is moved to a [non-bbs] machine where four mail bundles are tossed every three hours [until we run out of mail bundles], then moved back to the bbs 'puters for distribution. That is done all "automagically", which helps to make Ms. Foxy one happy camper. 8*) We find that our Hubs & their downlinks seem to prefer to get everything at regular intervals rather than to get a "big gulp" once per day. 8*) We've come an awfully long way since last October when we were doing everything manually!

The only place in Gecho where you have to enter 3615/51 is in the Node manager. Give 3615/51 an "account" in the node manager. Of course 3615/50 would also have his account and you would treat that account as the "live" customer. And then of course, you would have 3615/50 in each echo area as a "connection" in each echo.

I purposefully didn't couple it to any particular software/tosser--since there are as many tossers as toes....but most tossers have the ability to output a simple areas list (including GEcho, which I use) or a simple ASCII file will suffice. Since AREAS.BBS is "sort-of" a standard, I could incorporate it in the software.... Have a few folks Beta-testing the software now--and there seem to be problems with generic sort routines. I am trying to locate one which I can include in the package... The sort routine is not used in the extraction process--just in the report-generation process. EXTRACT.EXE generates a number of reports and all of them require a sort routine. No apparent bugs in the software at this point--just a problem interfacing with the sort routine....

Filters out messages from persons from whom you don't want to receive traffic....(twit filter) Currently, I have identified six Beta Team members, but two are not communicating readily. Communication is one of the major keys in Beta Testing, therefore I am interested in locating two additional people who desire to assist in the development and testing of this (proposed shareware) product. If you are interested in being on the Beta Team for this product, please send direct netmail to 1:274/30 ASAP, and list what you feel are your qualifications. EXTRACT.EXE is already being utilized by some of the current Beta Team members. Problems so far have revolved around the (generic) sort routine which users must implement in generating reports by EXTRACT.EXE... to get around this problem, I have today arranged with the owner of a commercial sort routine (OPTSORT) to utilize his package within EXTRACT.EXE.... This removes any necessity for a user to locate and utilize an external sort routine with the program.... Regards, Jack --- GEcho 1.02+ * Origin: Jack's Emporium Genealogy!

Since I haven't received my info packet yet, I am 'assuming' that I must use a dish provided by Planet Connect - or - can I use an existing dish? How much, and what kind of Net Mail traffic is crossed (or imported) from one net to another, (ie. RIME to FIDO)? I am currently receiving RIME, but would LOVE to take advantage of the other networks, but due to space limitations, don't want to inundate my system with a bunch of duplicate messages thru different Nets. How hard is the intital hardware set-up? How hard is the initial software set-up? What would I need (in software) to start receiving FIDO and INTERNET? Any info that any of you would like to share with me would be appreciated (including slams) as this is the first time that I have be involved with this Conf. Anyone willing to share ideas about performing file transfers via RIME, and probably soon to be FIDO (thru the satelite means)?

I had seen a couple errors comming through the other day but I blamed it on a storm we were having, etc. I think things have been speedily deteriorating for a couple days. I've just done some research and found no new files in USENET, FIDO or RIME for the last 24 hours so I'm assuming they have all been trashed due to errors. If I'd have a log to look at I'd be able to see the increase of errors before things get out of hand (like now!). I checked things last night and found that I had gotten all my mail packets so I just blamed it on the storm. A log would have shown me what I had been missing that day. About this 'bad seal' - I had wrapped the connector with that black stuff but this AM I realized that there's a boot that's covering a joint where moisture could have gotten in. When I disconnected the cable from the LNB I could see corosion around the little hole that the center conductor goes through. I did my best to scrape that off and did the same with the cable but I'm wondering if my LNB is trashed? I can get a new cable (and will have done that by the time you read this) but will that do the trick? --- * SPEED 1.40 #1649 * Become a programmer and never see the world!! * Lancaster Area Bulletin Board * Lancaster, PA (717) 394-1357 * PostLink(tm) v1.20 LABB (#32) : Relaynet (tm) --- DB 1.52-OS/2/001251 * Origin: Blue Lake Systems RIME<=>FIDO GATE (1:105/285) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: MIKE BARRETT Number: 1916 To: MICHAEL BARNUM Date: 06/14/94 6:29p Subj: The dish (help) Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Hello Michael!

I run a small BBS for 15 local users here way back in the north woods. I am not a Fidonet node, but plan on it. Would a PC system work for me? I do not have a lot of callers, maybe 15-30 per day, but I do get mail from a friend that is a node and even that call costs enough. So the question is: Would this be a good investment? Question 3. I am sure that the sale people will tell me how "Easy" the system would be to run, but I know that experience would tell me a lot more on how "Easy" it is to run than a sales person would. The Question Is: Just how difficult is the system to operate. I have many years experience with satellite systems, so the hardware part is no problem.

Receiver Only Return request. We don't call these Netmail messages or Private or E-Mail messages because the message can be read on our system or the receiver's system by the Sysop of that system and any person that has access to read Receiver Only messages. I know Receiver Only sounds much the same as NetMail and/or Private/E-Mail but in RIME we all have an understanding that NO message is 100% private. Our Postlink software will return to the sender of the message a short message telling the sender when the message arrived on the system it was routed to, showing the sender the date and time the message arrived on the receiving system and which systems the message passed thru along with the time and date. The return receipt doesn't mean that the receiver has read or received the message, it just means the message made it to the system it was routed to. In Rime we have a site name and a site address. My Rime site address is 433 and my site name is BLUELAKE. Rime allows R/O messages in All conferences (echos). The message is entered as a Receiver Only message (that's PCBoard's syntax, some BBS's ask Private) and the message is routed by placing a -> before the site address or number, i.e. ->433 on the first line of the message as the first 5 charactors (in my addresses case) of the message. This is the only thing on line one of the message. If you wanted a return receipt you would type the address like this ->433<- and the Postlink software will send you a return receipt. With the new version of Postlink that we are now running you can also put the routing after the receiver's name in the TO: field, i.e. TO: Mark Adkins>433 and a return receipt would look like TO: Mark Adkins>433 <- You can also use the site name instead of the site number, i.e., ->BLUELAKE or ->BLUELAKE<- You can also send 1 message to a group of people, called a broadcast message by adding several addresses in after the -> with a space between each site address, i.e. ->433 5489 22 783. The difference between the Postlink software and Fido software is the message doesn't stay on the systems that it is forwarded from/via. As an example if you send a private echomail message in a fido echo and I take that echo, the message ends up on my system and every other system that takes that echo. Not true in RIME, the message is a stright passthru and can't be read because it is never written to any directory and the message is encrypted by the Postlink software so even if you could grab the message you still couldn't read it unless you broke the encryption method which I'm sure could be done as Clipper has already come up with a bug or two in that area but it's not worth the time or trouble just to read a message. You'll notice that a few messages in this echo from RIME sites do start out with -> and a number (being the receiver's site number/address). Rime users are NOT use to NOT being able to send R/O or R/O-R messages in any conference/echo so they have to be reminded that all messages are public messages in this echo/conference. The Gate software in use is setup not to allow R/O messages which follow's Fido's Rules.

How hard is the intital hardware set-up? Piece of cake. I missed on aiming mine the first time and was getting alot of errors trying to pull the bird in through a tree.

Say, if you need a pipe with concrete already put together you can have my extra one....FREE! > How hard is the initial software set-up? What would I need (in > software) to start receiving FIDO and INTERNET? Any info that any of RIME was pretty easy to set up. You'll want to get a copy of PCFU (I don't even know where that comes from) and you'll need to upgrade to Postlink 1.20. Make sure the PC crew gives you a dongle with RIME turned on. If you don't have it turned on, you'll find every incomming file gets trashed (thrown to the bit bucket) even though there are no errors. USENET was another story. I have it almost right now. I'm pretty good at batch files and you'll have fun honing your skills while you try to get this right! I have one machine hooked up to the dish (386/40) and I'm processing the files with an old Packard Bell XT. If I get behind on the USENET stuff I process that on a faster machine but the XT is able to keep up under normal circumstances. I'm using UUPCB to convert the USENET files to PC-Board format. A word or warning here: If RIME is your main goal...get that running properly before you even start to work on USENET or you won't get any sleep for a week or two trying to keep your drives from filling up! > Anyone willing to share ideas about performing file transfers via RIME, > and probably soon to be FIDO (thru the satelite means)?

Well you should have picked someone with more experience, <*> but here is part of what you wanted. I'm sure (hoping actually) that others will chime in with more or better info. You need the receiver/demodulator from Planet Systems, Inc. Your message doesn't indicate if you have that or a generic receiver. The receiver/demodulator connects to the computer via a special "serial cable" and you have to have the dongle on a parallel port on the same machine. Then install the software and let it build the directories it needs. You then edit the cfg file and run MAKECFG to create the new cfg file. You will want to send most of the mail areas to NUL, as they will have no interest to you, or are encrypted for that nets use only. For mail you will need a mail tosser. FastEcho and GEcho seem to be the most popular here. FastEcho has on line help throughout and even I got it set up. That says a lot about the program. I did get a bunch of needed advice and help before sending mail back upline to PSI. That wasn't quite as easy. For files, TICK or AllFix seem to be the choices to automatically do the job. TICK is free for non comercial use (thank you Mr. Geller), but it can't handle some of the TIC's "hatched" by AllFix because AllFix defaults to a non standard format that chokes TICK. You can edit those or kill them. I choose to kill them. If you want to manually look at each file and put it somewhere for storage, then your mental stability is in question. ;-) There are just too many files coming down the link to do that more then few times. The simplest way to get TICK set up is to copy someone elses TIC.CFG and use that as a guide to build your own. If you'd like I'll send you mine. There are lots more permutations so read this and the PC-SITES echo for details and tips. Ask questions, someone will respond, and some of the lurkers will learn what they feared to ask. We are all learning here.

Todd, Only fools suggest that some sort of simple device attached to their systems will stop a lightning strike. That's not the point at all: the point is to prevent damage from a nearby strike. Example: I have an "Invisible Fence" (tm) for my dog; it consists of hundreds of feet of wire buried a few inches below the surface, connected to a transmitter. The dog wears a receiver collar that warns it when it approaches the wire. As you can well imagine, this buried wire has 2 properties: One, it'll probably NEVER see a direct lightning strike. And, Two, because it is a huge antenna, it will have quite high voltages from any closeby strikes. In fact, my transmitter was knocked out of commission twice by lightning. The company told me when I sent it in that they had a special surge protector, that if installed according to directions, would prevent any damage. They're so sure of it that they guarantee against damage if that thing is installed correctly. So, I bought one and installed it, and have had no problem since. THIS is why PC recommends installation of their surge protector on the coax between the receiver and LNB. --- FLAME v1.0/b * Origin: Toledo's TBBS, 14+ gigs, 150,000 files 313-854-6001 (1:234/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JIM DUNMYER Number: 1980 To: RANDY EDWARDS Date: 05/29/94 11:04a Subj: Signal degradation Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No > Anyway, I wound up going with some coax marked RG-59/U.

DW How hard is the intital hardware set-up? Took me 45 minutes to unpack, read, and assemble the dish, 10 minutes to aim it and get data coming in. DW How hard is the initial software set-up? Quite easy. Just edit an .ini file, and away you go. The only slam I have so far, is that you have to occasionally receive two cycles of files, because you might get errors in one file on the first send. I think that is caused by software, or possibly an adjacent satellite causing sporadic interference. If you get a KU system, it will not work through a thunderstorm, you will lose the signal. The C band I dont have, but should be much less susceptable to that. If you do get a KU, and dont have a KU rated dish, get the 3'. Its well worth the extra money when you have storms in the area. The rain fade time is considerably shorter. I tried hooking up the electronics for the KU to my 10' dish to see if it would pull the signal in through the rain, however, my 10' dishs mesh isnt KU rated, so I was not able to get much signal at all with it. --- * RM 1.2 00312 * Is there anything Donuts can't do? * Ferret BBS N Little Rock AR 24K V.FC (501)791-0275 * PostLink(tm) v1.20 FERRET (#750) : RelayNet(tm) --- DB 1.52-OS/2/001251 * Origin: Blue Lake Systems RIME<=>FIDO GATE (1:105/285) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DAVE DENNETT Number: 1989 To: RICK BOX Date: 06/15/94 3:16p Subj: Errors Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No RB Did something happen to the satellite on Monday evening.

Should, Ive had my Cband system out in the rain for 6 yrs with only a little electrical tape on it, with no problems. Did your signal drop (when there wasnt a storm)? It the signal stayed relatively the same, Im guessing it wasnt a bad connection. If you still get errors after fixing it up with new cable, try rotating the feed just a tad off horizontal. I noticed some especially bad co- channel/transponder interference when watching the tv show last month, and you might be picking up a little cross transponder junk. If that doesnt help, try moving the dish a tad bit off on one side or the other from dead center (by the tone in the receiver). If the errors are being caused by another close satellite, that should solve that problem too. Dave. --- * RM 1.2 00312 * I am HOMER of BORG. Prepare to be...

To be clearer: It is generally viewed in Fidonet that an echo Moderator 'owns' the echo, and the Moderator is God. (There are a few dissenting viewpoints to this theory, which is why I made 'generally' the operative word!) While many people feel that an overall echo policy and/or procedure for Fidonet would be ideal, there are many others who are opposed to one, and I doubt that Fidonet will ever see another policy, of any kind, approved and put into place. So, there is NO policy or procedure that mandates, or dictates, how a Fidonet echo will be run. However, if your echo routinely advocates kiddy porn or child molesting or killing the president of the USA or setting up drug deals, etc, the backbone will soon refuse to carry it. Obviously, this gives a LOT of latitude in how an echo will be run. The Backbone echo FLAME is the epitome of bashing. However, most of the Fidonet Backbone echoes do not condone bashing, or inflammatory messages. ++ Sid ++ --- Alexi/Mail 2.00 (#2) * Origin: The Catalytic Star - Alexandria, VA 703-765-1751 (1:109/1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SID BALCOM Number: 2030 To: BOB WATSON Date: 06/16/94 11:01p Subj: Re-zipping Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No In a message of <Jun 14 05:54>, Bob Watson (1:105/285) writes: SB> Naw, I don't think anyone has problems with RIME being here.

Does PC maintain a 24 number we can call if our date/time gets messed up, as this could happen at any time and since PC chose this form of protection that could disable our reception at any time, I feel that there should be a way to get up and receiving without delay. Are weekends covered? 2. In the alternative, divorce this time/date check and just set the expiration date in the dongle and watch the feed for a date when no files will be saved to disk. Since the computer date would not be a factor, this method would not be suject to downlink loss. You could also issue a warning on the main screen when only 10 days are left on the subscription - this I am sure would be appreciated. 3. I can understand the need for the dongle (but if another service chose to offer a dongle free downlink I would switch) but I feel that PC MUST make sure that the dongle is not intrusive and that service cannot be lost during the contract (paid for) period. 4. What will happen when we set our clocks back in the Fall? 5. I have particular concern as my computer gains time and has to be reset at times and I do not want to incur a long distance charge every time I have to reset my computer date.

Planet Connect probably wasn't expecting the long drawn out anal-retentive battle over mail security with RIME and thought that it would be an 'easy, can-do'. Boyd just was niave about the powers that be in RIME. I would bet he has learned a valuable lesson by this experience. He's probably still licking his wounds. The bottom line is does RIME want reduced costs or absolute control and some minor delays?

You seem to be so shunned because you (RIME) aren't #1 in the priority list. You immediately go on the verbal assault. That is exactly the reason so many sysops left RIME, that and the fact that they had to re-register software that they had already purchased. Both Fido and RIME are now taking a back seat to Internet/Usenet, mainly because there isn't the 'control of power' issues that many of us have found in RIME, and in some places Fido.

As I Hello, Jim. I don't want to stretch this thread out as my experience and resulting conclusions are prologue. But, please allow me to explain why we don't use Fido numbers or the FidoNet. The Fido organization in this area actually stinks. They do nothing to assist the hapless end user/node. If a person uses their Fido number to conduct traffic in other nets/echoes, they are still subject to Fido rules and Policy4. I have read, heard, and been exposed to "EXCESSIVELY ANNOYING" so much that I have absolutely no desire to connect myself with anything which fosters its mention. I WAS USING MY FIDO number... until my NC *pulled* my Fido number because I WAS NOT COMING TO HIM FOR MAIL. Now, please don't waste your time by telling me, "He can't do this...." I could care less what he "can't do".... fact is, HE DID!! I had to appeal to the head guy in up in Canada to keep my Fido number..... even the RC supported the NC! You might be located within a net that really looks out for you and doesn't cause problems--but I am not so fortunate. Nah, I don't need this kind of stuff. The Fido organization is not made to accommodate the receiving nodes--it is constructed to support those in power and to keep those in power, in power... [as you are aware, each level is elected by the next lower level]. In the net I run, *one* flame guarantees that you are history. In my opinion, and in the opinion of those who are members of the net, network traffic and activities is/are serious business.... we have no echoes named, "FLAME", or other such nonsense/waste-of-time. The echoes we have are used for serious research and we had to divorce from Fido in order to ensure that. There's more, but I will stop here..... Happy to have you join our net and participate among a bunch of friendly, helpful people.... Regards, Jack P.S. I almost forgot.... should some "twit" decide to exercise his ego and butt-in with a flame to respond to this message.... I am proud to announce that the "twit-filter" in EXTRACT.EXE is working just great.... their name will be incorporated in the TWIT.FIL immediately and never again will a message from that person appear on my board.

EXTRACT.EXE does three things: 1. (As you indicate above) Extracts messages from just those echoes which you want (or are on your board), and 2. Deletes those messages which originated on your board but are being passed down from the satellite, and 3. Deletes all messages from anyone listed in your TWIT.FIL. If, for whatever reason, you don't want to receive messages from a certain person, then place his/her name in a TWIT.FIL and messages from them will not grace your board. Right now we are in the final stages of Beta testing and hopefully will release the program within the month. I will retain your name and be sure to notify you upon its release. Regards, Jack ...

I will leave some details here after I check all of it out,..but meantime for the enterprising folks out there, you can rotate your LNB 90 degrees and change the polarity that way. .....Johnny ...

Not just "Mindless's" dupes which were pretty well obvious, but literally HUNDREDS of dupes in a LOT of different echos, which look to have legitmate seen-bys and paths, and MATCHING values of CRC. I've had to up my MAX-DUPES parameter from 200 to 400 per echo just to deal with this. (Not completely I might add.) No, I'm not feeding direct from PC but am only one hop down the line, and see no reason for SQUISH at the hub to inundate me with dupes. (I freq the hub logs and look at them regularly.) ANY suggestions and/or insights vastly appreciated. ^..^ --- FidoPCB v1.5 beta-'j' * Origin: BOO!
