- Please do keep us abreast of this development. I just moved
- this past week and had to move my dish and install the pole
- again. Luckily, looks like very little mail was lost in the
- move. Meanwhile the phone company messed up the phone
- installation and I won't have the BBS up until Monday. I
- thought this would be a great time to update the system to
- OS/2. After fiddling with everything, I finally got
- LANtastic and OS/2 to cooperate and I am able to run OS/2 on
- my main machine and DOS/Planet Connect on the other. I am
- all set for going OS/2 and Planet Connect when you figure
- out a way to do it.
-
- BTW, This is my 2nd day with OS/2 and right now I am
- listening to Van Halen on CD in the computer, monitoring the
- Planet Connect computer, and reading mail. This is kind of
- nice! <g>
-
- How are the beta testers coming along with the new dongle?
- Has anyone created a nice ICON for a PC Logo?

- TH=>realize you changed the directory, but the last one I have
- TH=>is ALLTICS.015. I tried to request the later ones from your
- TH=>system, but it came back with a "not found" message. When
- TH=>you were sending both the TK*.TIC files and the ALLTICS, it
- TH=>seems I had a better chance of making sure I got them...
-
- They wind up in the inbound file area on my system. I modified my batch file to
- unzip them before running PCFU and all works just fine.

- Could you elaborate a little as to how this is attached, grounded, cost

-
- TIC-2-PCB that I just told you about Jerry. It does it all.
-
- If you look inside of a .tic file you'll see which FDN it is coming
- from. You can set TIC-2-PCB up so each file from lets say WINNET will be
- placed in your Windows NT file directory. If you read the Filebone.na
- file you'll see the different FDN areas and the types of files that you
- can receive from those FDN's. You can set TIC-2-PCB up so each different
- area is tossed to the same area but the file description can be written
- to a different dirxx file. You won't have to mess with anything if you
- don't want to.
-
- It will send a message to you or anyone you config it to send a message
- and you can have these placed in a conference if you like. The message
- tells you the FDN area that the file came from and the description of
- the file. The same info that it places in your dirxx files.
-
- The only problem that I've ever had with the program is with OS/2 .tic
- files. There are times that they are over 42 or 48 charactors per line
- int he description and these have caused the program to stop and wait
- for a key press or other times totally lockup.
-
- It's my understanding that the author is in the military and is out to
- sea a bit and works on the program when he returns.
-
- If you don't want to post some of the FDN files you just don't list them
- and they won't be posted and will remain in what ever directory you have
- setup to receive the files from PC.
-
- Try it out. I use version 2.4a and it saves me a heck of a lot of time.

- nailed down earlier this week. It works but it'd inneficient as can
- be. I'll give you an overview and then explain each of my batch
- files. Basically the USENET files come in .BAG files ZIPped together.
- I unZIP the PCUSENET.num files which creates the .BAG files. UUPCB
- expects to see .D files that have been compressed with COMP430D so I
- need to compress the files with COMP430D and then UUPCBIN them into
- my message bases.
-
- I'm dumping files in un-edited....hope they make sense.
-
- Here's the details:
-
- 1) - Process incomming satalite directory for dupes with PCFU and move
- new files to newfiles directory. The newsgrp section is the
- first that's related so I killed some other sections. This batch
- file is called DOIT.BAT
-
- f:
- cd\planetc\pcfu
- sl **PCFU processing started f:\planetc\pcfu\pcfu.log
- ask-yn3 "Do you want to process for dupes?" -y -w10 -v
- del g:\pc_in\bridge\files\0000ffff.*
- systime
- settd
- call setdate
- :newsgrp
- delay 10
- cls
- if not exist g:\pc_in\newsgrp\*.* goto restart
- pcfu dup -cnewsgrp.cfg
- f:
- cd\uupcb
- if not exist g:\pc_ok\newsgrp\pcusenet.* goto USENETDONE
- f:
- cd\uupcb\spool\planetc
- pkunzip g:\pc_ok\newsgrp\pcusenet.*
- del g:\pc_ok\newsgrp\pcusenet.*
- cd\uupcb
- planetin f:\planetc\pcfu\doit.bat
- :USENETDONE
- sl PCFU Newsgroups imported- f:\planetc\pcfu\pcfu.log
- cls
- :restart
- f:
- cd\planetc\pcfu
- ask-yn3 "Restart?" -y -w600 -v
- if errorlevel 1 goto done
- doit
- :done
-
- 2)DOIT.BAT calls PLANETIN.BAT which does the bulk of the work.
-
- rem Batch file to import .BAG files from the Planet Connect sat feed.
- rem .
- rem This batch file is complete and will process all the .bag files in the
- rem \uupcb\spool\planetc directory.
- f:
- cd\uupcb\spool\planetc
- :runprocess
- if exist f:\uupcb\running.* goto error
- echo > f:\uupcb\running.%node%
- for %%f in (*.bag) do call f:\uupcb\process %%f
- ask-yn3 "Do you want to process next bag file?" -y -w3 -v
- if errorlevel 1 goto done
- del f:\uupcb\running.*
- if exist f:\uupcb\spool\planetc\news*.bag planetin %1
- cd\uupcb
- :done
- del f:\uupcb\running.*
- :error
- cd\uupcb
- %1
-
- 3)PLANETIN.BAT calls PROCESS.BAT
-
- \uupcb\comp430d %1
- ren *.baz b6f3b5cb.d
- if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 copy \uupcb\spool\clarknet\save\5a6f3b.x
- cd\uupcb
- uupcbin
- uupcbout
- copy f:\pcb\internet\junk.sav f:\pcb\internet

- Oh well, I like JAM, because like Squish, there's really no limit on the
- number of conference areas or number of messages per conference.
- An HMB is fine if you don't blow it up over 16 megs or a certain number of
- messages on a small messagebase, but it's not practical today for most larger

- My problem is, (I love this echo, don't get me wrong) but I do not always

- Basically in the Announcement echos, that it only be outgoing official

- TV Show News... Etc.

- Just a Idea,

- Unfortunately, John, most Policy Complaints die on the vine. The ONLY
- successful one I've ever filed, and had acted on was a local one where the NC
- was totally familiar with all facts of the case.
- Since you have to file a PC with the NC of the net that the 'asshole'
- is in, and the NC has to live in the same 'town' as the 'asshole' the NC is
- usually quite reluctant to take action.
- A more effective alternative, and one that is usually easier to
- negotiate is to get the 'asshole' thrown out of the echo. The rules are usually
- more cut and dried and easier to get action completed on.
-
- I sympathize and agree with you. Fidonet has Bob Moravsik, who seems to
- be 'PC Proof' and others of his ilk; and RIME has Bob Watson. I extend my
- sympathies to RIME. They =DO= seem to be a pretty good outfit. If they could
- only find an effective way to muzzle Watson; which is about as difficult as
- muzzling Moravsik!

- NW 3. I can understand the need for the dongle (but if another service chose
- NW to offer a dongle free downlink I would switch) but I feel that PC MUST
- NW make sure that the dongle is not intrusive and that service cannot be lost
- NW during the contract (paid for) period.
-
- I agree. I found out today when setting up a dedicated satellite computer
- (notebook using a PE2 Ethernet adapter on the parallel port) that the dongal
- refuses to operate with the ethernet adapter plugged into it. So, I have to
- plug the ethernet adapter into the dongal, reboot, log in, copy the satellite
- files by hand, log out, reboot without the ethernet adapter, and go back to
- ptccmain.
-
- Well, thats to big a pain in the butt for me, so I went back to running it as
- an event (taking up callers time on an active node) until they can get their
- software and dongal working with external devices or until a dongal-less
- service comes along. I was planning on picking us Usenet from them, but I
- cannot do that on a shared machine, and after paying $1200 for a notebook to
- use for it, I sure am not going to buy yet another machine to test to see if
- the dongal will work.

- Might be an idea to suggest to the FDN head, Janis, to rehatch the files in
- three to four months. Doing it right away would eat up a lot of bandwidth for a
- relatively small audience, but in several months there are likely to be a whole
- new set of downlinks.

- Boyd, while folks are throwing suggestions your way for new hatches [grin],
- thought I'd remind you of one from way back when: NASA images.
-
- If PC has an internet account (which I'm guessing you must to get the
- newsgroups?), then all the image files from the Shuttle "Mission to Earth" plus
- Hubble plus many others, are available for FTP from JPL.
-
- I know how busy you are, but if you have an internet gnome skulking about the
- place you might suggest they go fishing for these things. Some of the Mission
- to Earth images are really impressive.
-
- BTW, as an aside, you can see how far PC has advanced the art by looking at
- NASA bbs. When I started out this hobby, I was calling LD to get Voyager and
- Magellan .gifs direct from NASA. They were running a dinky 2400 baud! Those
- images cost me almost as much as the space program [laugh].
-
- Anyway, the files would be very useful for those of us with school communities
- on our systems or amateur astronomers, to say nothing of the sheer beauty of
- some of the files for the "regular" joe.
-
- Hope you'll consider it.
-
- .glenn.
-
- p.s. if you need JPL's FTP site address I can scare it up.

-
- The simple solution to the problem lies with the program author. He/she should

- Well. SKYLINK is currently on 9600 baud, so it was speed up to

-
- Actually the hold up on higher speeds is all on the user end

- Well, George, my point is simple: If there's going to be a wait in obtaining

-
- By-the-way, I just received my key via direct netmail two days ago. It is

- DK P.S.- You mention an LNB. I'm new to this stuff. As part of my package I
- DK got a feedhorn and a Dexcel 3.7-4.2 Ghz "LNA/Downconverter" (DXS 1000-01).
- DK Do I need to scounge up an LNB for this? Wouldn't bother me much as I only
- DK paid $6 for the dish and stuff I got.
-
- An LNA takes the 3.7-4.2GHz satellite frequency, amplifies it and sends it to
- your dish mounted Downconverter which tunes through them sending the tuned
- frequency down the coax at 70MHz to your receiver.
-
- An LNB takes the 3.7-4.2GHz satellite frequency and sends the whole range down
- the coax to the receiver at about 900-1200 MHz.
-
- Which one you need depends on how old and what type receiver you have. The
- older receivers use an LNA and downconverter, while most newer ones use an
- LNB.

-
- It sounds like you have what is required. The LNB is a "low-noise
- amplifier/block downconverter" that amplifies the signal and brings it down in
- frequency to some intermediate value. That is what is fed through the coax to
- your receiver, where it is further processed. The idea is to amplify the very
- weak signal as soon as it's received and convert it to a lower frequency that
- won't degrade so much during transport via the coax cable. However, as I'm not
- really "into" satellite stuff, I don't know if your particular device is what's
- required.

- Those are "tarred" and "GZipped" files. GZip is simply a GNU/freeware
- replacement for the Unix 'compress' command which uses Zip compression routines
- and compresses much better than compress. Tar, of course, is the standard Unix
- Tape ARchiver. So, instead of *.tar.z or *.tz files, we have *.TGZ.
-
- You should be able to find both un-tar and the GZip programs for DOS. If
- not via the Linux file distributions or on local systems near you, they're
- always freq'able here.

- Hello Mac,

-
- The extension .tgz means that it is a TAR'd GZIP file. You see a number of
- those files in the PLXAPP file area (PDN Linux Applications).
-
- You use GZIP on the files and then TAR. Most of these utilities use long file
- names. If you extract them on a DOS system rather than a LINUX system, TAR
- would munge the filenames (munging takes the original file name and attempts to
- create unique file names in 8.3 DOS format.)

- IF the file date is PRIOR to May, 1993, you use a program called PAK.EXE

-
- If the file date is AFTER May, 1993, you use ARJ. Simply add the

-

- Hello Jim,
-
- -> I've done the same thing here; my plan goes one better, though. I
- -> install binding posts on the rear of the unit and connect a
- -> couple of 105AH "marine/RV" deep cycle batteries, using welding
-
- I thought of this but didn't have the room to place the batteries along
- with the UPS in the spot the UPS is sitting now. I could have gotten
- away cheaper if I did have the room even if I would have had to put
- these into plastic cases.
-
- Good idea Jim. You can get the Marine/RV types for far less than you can
- the ones that I bought.

- I have a couple Big Projects going, but I'll be sure and FREQ
- the XSH .EXE (filename please!) asap...
- But, depending on your Goals with programming and your program,
- I believe it is imperative that you have interested Beta Test Sysops using
- setup BBS/Mailer systems to test it for SUCCESS and proliferation of it!
- For example, starting out, looking for programs to setup a Good reliable
- message system here I chose RA and FrontDoor and went to RA_UTIL Echo often
- for program comments by other RA Sysops. I tried Imail, ZmailH, Fmail,
- Fastecho and now Xmail, among others.
- This Echo can work for this as well as other Fido Echos.
- But, the main point is this: You are not going to know if XSH works with JAM
- or HMB using just Gecho or GoldED or something. But a sysop willing to try it
- for FREE upgrades and Author's support using RA will and will be invaluable to
- you in shareware marketing your program down the road!
- You cannot get RAEDIT, it is internally used by RA 2.0x. (As Toped was used
- in it's form as RAtop in RA 1.11 previously)
- I believe this is the key to your programs success.
- In summary, find a couple popular BBS programs like RA, MAX, SuperBBS, or
- whatever with a large following and get some Beta testers in their ranks.
- Maybe you've already done this, and I'm not saying anything knew to you.
-
- Thanks again for your help and I believe your XSH has great possibilities...
-
- On my other BBS at 1:216/521, I decided to drop RA/Fmail and setup PowerBBS
- with Squish *.msg then IPmail into PowerBBS with WNmail for INTERNET, since
- PowerBBS comes with Planet.exe to import PC newsgroup mail and works with
- WNMail to export to an Internet Server from Droberts@slugisland.win.net.
- The Chamber at 1:216/510 remains using Xmail. Both run under FrontDoor.
- Maybe I could replace IPmail and Planets.exe on "SLUG ISLAND BBS" with XSH or
- use the new, improved XSH.exe on "THE CHAMBER II" to import Planet_Connect
- newsgroup bag-mail into RA JAM. I'll be trying the latter first. :)

-
- 1. The guys that run it are a bunch of hicks.
- 2. There's no warning when your subscription is about to expire.
- That means, when you run in batch, the fxxxing thing quits
- downloading and you'll never know it. You STILL MUST CALL
- FOUR TIMES A YEAR TO GET A KEY NUMBER. The stupid fools
- can't figure out a way to get your money with one hand
- and give you the goddamned file with the other.
- 3. ILink mail is delayed 18-24 hours. I'm still calling NYC
- and throwing the bird bags away.
- 4. The Usenet mail is worth it, unless you have a local source.
- I don't, so $20 a month is cheap. Get a mailbag culler like
- SAT - it kills all the other groups in the bags so you
- don't spend 5 hours a day importing. You do get all the
- groups, including the alt.sex stuff they refused to carry
- earlier in the year. Those alt.sex mothers are SICK.
- 5. There will be other alternatives coming in the next year,
- but they'll require new hardware as each reciever is
- hard-wired for a specific bird.

-
- This one, while I am not 100% sure of, I would think is also wrong.
- The data receiver incorporates and EPROM that would have to be changed
- out for other services, but that's it.
-
- All in all, if you are considering Planet Connect, my suggestion to you
- would be to go for it. Every day you wait is another day that you are
- missing out on not only the entire FIDO backbone, a ton of UseNet
- Newsgroups, Rime, and a host of others, but also a LOT of files.

- Boyd,
-
- Well I've finally figured out what the heck all on PLN???? file
- echoes were for. I'm happy to receive the files, but was it
- really necessary to create a separate echo for each disk?
- Also, were can I find a description for these echoes? I
- haven't seen the very latest filebone, but have not found these
- echoes anywhere.
-
- Both of these have made housekeeping a bit of a headache. In
- the past couple of weeks I've had about as many directories
- auto-created for PLN???? as I have for all the other echoes.
- Since I couldn't find any descriptions, I didn't know what to
- do with them, couldn't add echo descriptions to my file tosser,
- nor anticipate how many were/are coming down.
-
- This is not so much a complaint, but rather a request that in
- the future, such series of files be handled a little
- differently. For example, since these were all Linux files,
- one echo would have sufficed.
-
- Also, will the PLN???? echoes have continued traffic or is it a
- one shot deal?

- Boyd,
- I got the beta, plugged it in and took off!
-
- It looks REAL good, so far!
-
- I do really like having the list of received files scroll across the
- screen. I can see the last few files that came in, along with their date.
- Something I've been wishing for.
-
- The screen saver is interesting, but I'm going to shut it off. WIth the
- list scrolling across the screen, I think that's more valuable.
-
- I've declared DesqView as the multi-tasker, but haven't played with it,
- yet.
-
- Oh, when it boots up, it still shows the date and version of the
- previous one. You might want to 'tidy' that up before you 'release' it.
-
- I've only glanced at the log file, and at first blush it seems
- confusing. But, I haven't looked enough to properly evaluate it.

- The first one was in the LA area and happened in the early '80's as I

- got all his stuff back. Of course, he was still out of business during all the

-
- The second one was Compuserve vs. Cubby and happened more recently. I don't

- was found to be not responsible for messages posted on their system.

- I'm sure the EFF would have all the gory details if you'd want to contact them;

- For RIME you won't need anything. If you are going to import Fido Net or

- going to need a FIDO <=> GAP message converter. Ask Ken if he ever
- created one or if he can/will create one for GAP.

-
- Jerry you ARE going to see the message that you post in RIME come back
- to you with the Blue Lake Fido tag line at the end of your message.
-
- You send your messages to me via RIME. Those messages pass thru the gate
- and are sent to Fido. When I get them back via the satellite, they are
- new messages as far as the gate sees them and they are then gated from
- Fido to Rime and you see the same ones that you exported only this time
- they have my system's Fido address at the bottom of them.
-
- This is normal for YOU. This is NOT normal for Fido. Fido should see the
- message from my system only 1 time and have my Fido tag line in the
- message only 1 time without any other Fido tag lines in the message.
-
- I don't resend the messages that I receive from the satellite back to
- the satellite with the Fido software that I use UNLESS someone in Rime
- has a Fido address, received the message via satellite then exports them
- to me via RIME which has happened with one system that I know of an no
- other system. If another system reexported the messages then it was
- using their Fido software and the message didn't pass thru the gate to
- Rime then back to me an onto Fido again.
-
- Now if you were using Fido softeware and receiving this echo from the
- satellite and importing it with Fido software and not via Rime's
- software then you should see the message coming back to you only 1 time.
-
- Here's an example.. Chris Von Motz is both Fido and Rime but when he
- enters messages into this echo he does so via his Fido software and
- address. You see his messages only one time, when I import them as they
- come in via the satellite.
-
- I see every Rime message on my BBS twice. Once when I import it from
- rime via postlink and a second time when it comes back via the
- satellite but this time it has the fido tag line added to it. Because
- the message changed postlink thinks it's a new message and exports it
- back to rime via postlink thinking it's a new message.
-
- I don't know how Kip checks for dupes or tag lines so I can't tell you
- if there's a way that postlink would see this return message as a dupe.
-
- All of this would be very easy to fix.. all that would be needed is
- every rime system get a fido net address, import this echo from the
- satellite at they receive it and I close the gate. If this takes place
- then everyone in Rime that has a question about Planet Connect will have
- to find a fido network system and enter their messages there. A lot of
- help this would be huh?
-
- Also if you look at the message from fido 1:397/6 you'll see that the
- not only has my fido address tag line but also my rime tag line. I
- changed the fido tag line's contents in May and also told Postlink not
- to add the rime tag line to any message that left here. You'll also
- notice that 1:397/6 is using FidoPCB 1.5 beta software. Could be he
- reexported the message back to PC. 1:397/6's messages don't pass thru
- the gate because he isn't rime and in order to get that rime tag line
- into his message it would have had to pass thru postlink.
-
- All messages imported have their echo flag turned off and with that flag
- off InterPCB won't export the message.

- I got that one yesterday! It's GREAT! I would MUCH rather see the

-
- One complaint is that it doesn't record ALL the transmision errors like

- errors. I'm not quite sure what the problem is with them. Maybe they
- are secure files or something. I'l like to see a 'raw' error number
- as well as the fact that the file was refused or whatever.
-
- Another problem is that I can't view the log file while PTCCMAIN is
- running. I have a batch file that starts PTCCMAIN and copies FILELOG.SKY
- to *.OLD before it starts PTCCMAIN up again so at least I can view that
- file. If I want to view the file while it's running I just shut it down
- while it's getting a file I don't want so this is just a bother, not a

- I've been getting a ton of errors lately. It looks like the problems
- started on Sunday afternoon or Monday. If I sort the list of USENET
- files that I've processed, there are quite a few that I have missed.
- Now that I have the version that tracks files I can see how it's been
- going. I know that I was NOT getting this level of errors last week
- because I would periodically check the files that came through to be
- sure I was getting everything and there were never any missing files
- but I have some BIG gaps now! Is it my site, the weather or is this
- a problem that everybody is having?
-
- On this 'logging version'...Some files come through and get flagged
- REC-ERR but no errors are listed. Would it be possible to add the
- number of errors in one of those lines...maybe the line with the
- size & dates could just have the last number be the error. That will
- give a 'raw' error number that we can use to determine how our setups
- are operating. Right now some of the files don't have an error
- number if it's not a file we're set up to recieve.
-
- One little bug - if the screen blanker goes on and stays there for some
- period of time then multiple keystrokes are required to get it to come
- back up....seems related to the amount of time the screen was blanked...
- more keystrokes needed if it was blanked for a longer time.

- Yes, I have been able to over come the difficulty with a restart of that
- window.
-
- BH=>usually goes away...
-
- You mean to say some times it does NOT????? Ouch!
-
- BH=>the cause is unknow
-
- I suspect that because it happens when PTCCMAIN recycles at the first of
- the day, (has NOT been reported at any other time) and it happens to
- many of us, with many difference systems that it is software related.
- I've asked if any experiments had been tried because it first happened

-
- I clean our the incoming files directory just before the 8:00am morning

- that PTCCMAIN was indeed delivering files. If there were no files there,
- I have a small program that warm boots our computer hopefully curing

- If you are interested, there are some very good satellite surge

- This looks like you are copying files from your inbound to a

- archived mail packets will be nuked after being tossed, the originals will
- remain in your inbound and will be processed once again the next time the
- batch file exits on mail received error level. You sure to overrun your

-

-
- OK, here's what I've found so far....
-
- 1. Tech support is very good...
-
- 2. ILink, RIME, etc mail packets are delivered anywhere from 12-24 hours
- late, because the PC folks are sending all the usenet stuff down
- first...
-
- 3. I have not been able to find any source of "written" literature, such
- as fliers or brochures concerning Planet Connect, or it's services...
-
- 4. I've been reading here for over a week, and have yet to see any
- messages from the PC people, other than what appears to be automated
- posts...
-
- 5. Not one person in this echo has anything to say about PC that might
- be considered the least bit derogatory, but sysops on other nets are
- more than happy to point out things that need work...
-
- My apologies if I upset anyone with this latest post, but I can't
- afford to spend a ton of money on something that might not work for
- me...

- Go under INFORMATION to FILEVIEW and you should be able to view

- The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. There is
- and always will be minor problems, both with PC and any other
- distribution system. Just as an example, I went through my logs for
- June to see the received vs missed rate was for mail bundles from
- Fidonet mail. There were 682 bundles from June 1 through June 30,
- eliminating the bundles at the beginning of the month for the previous
- day and at the end of the month for the following day. There were a
- total of 16 bundles missed. The largest group of mail bundles missed
- was on the 18th when 10 bundles were missed. The comes out to 2.34% of
- the mail was missed. Accounting for the one major problem day, which
- was at this end, I believe, there were actually only 6 mail bundles
- missed the entire month, or 0.88%, less than 1% of the total mail.
-
- There are things I would like to see changed, or improved. But then, I
- would like to see a lot of things changed or improved in the
- communications field. Nothing is perfect, but PC has come about as
- close to perfection as anything so far when it comes to the delivery of
- mail at a cost that will more than pay for itself in the short term and
- put money in your pocket in the long term.
-
- Wouldn't it be nice if you could convince your long distance carrier to
- allow you have received those same 682 mail bundles, plus all the files
- that came down during that month, for only $30.00 instead of the $500 or
- more that it would normally have cost to transfer that much data for the
- month. That is what my monthly long distance was for receiving the same
- stuff before I joined PC. I carried the entire Fidonet.na/.no and the
- entire filebone.na/.no before going with PC and my average monthly bill
- was around $500.
-
- Yes, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but in
- this case, the entire field is VERY green.

-
- Johnny, I'm also running the 06/20 beta version. I believe what Jerry was
- indicating is that FILELOG.SKY is: (1)locked while PTCCMAIN is running, so it's
- not viewable from outside PTCCMAIN, and (2)empty until PTCCMAIN exits! It's
- empty here because I rename it on any errorlevel exit, then append it to my
- running log. It appears that all the log data is retained in memory until an
- exit occurs, then it's written to disk. At least that's what I've observed.

-
- ??? According to the sequence I've observed, the RIME packets move right after
- the FIDO echoes and before the TICed files move. The ILink files are sent
- within the TICed files group, which are moved in an alphabetic sequence. Usenet
- "stuff" is the very =last= group sent in each cycle.

-
- That sounds strange; most sysops that I know are prone to express their
- displeasures directly in the support echo where they believe it might do some
- good, rather than elsewhere. Is it possible those sysops you're referring to
- are without firsthand experience and are expressing opinions based on hearsay?

- You haven't, really. If you don't think it's best for your situation, continue
- to use Ma Bell, or some of the other "wired" providers. It's your decision!

-
- There is not a space problem here. No clashes for UPLD.LST either.
-
- Here's what I found though, since I posted up this message:
-
- If Postlink and the satellite stuff went all onto the same server
- drive and PL was into some real heavy duty processing, the infamous
- red box appeared.
-
- Once I moved the PL stuff to one of the server SCSI drives and left
- the sat stuff going to a server IDE drive, the red box probs went away.
- And my hard drives are fairly fast ones, and the server has more than
- adequate cycles available on unused capacity. Totally dedicated.
-
- My interpretation of this is that the receiver and PTCCMain is
- chunking away taking the stuff off the satellite. If the write to
- disk request does not complete by the time the next block being
- received by the receiver needs to be written, then its red box time.
-
- So outside of the solution I implemented, my other choices would have
- been to run the sat stuff to a local drive, or else to enable my
- server with a write buffer on its hard disk caching.
-
- Most interesting.

- I *HAVE* seen the announcement of a new beta version of the receiving
- program - which I snagged on to and love it!
- Apparently, you are new to computers. After you have been around for a
- while, you will learn that the users know *FAR* more about the software and
- programs than the author does. I know that from experience as an author, and as
- a member of software alpha testing teams.
- You might try writing a message explictly to Johnny Green which asks
- him explicit, coherent, non-insulting questions (but don't use the word 'hick'
- in the message) and I'll bet that he will answer it in an intelligent manner.

- JS>>5. Not one person in this echo has anything to say about PC that might
- JS>>be considered the least bit derogatory, but sysops on other nets are
- JS>>more than happy to point out things that need work...
- In my experience, the majority of the people who are putting down PC
- are the ones who have never tried it; and/or have pre-formed opinions about the
- service that are not backed up by fact.
- OTOH, there is NO way that you can please all of the people all of the
- time.
- The best gauge of satisfaction is from the people who actually use it.
-
- As NEC of Net-109, I am responsible for the phone bills for the echoes
- distributed by the REC-13. I was paying nearly $200 per month in phone bills,
- prior to Planet Connect. Our phone bills are under $100 per month now
- (including Planet Connect Satellite fee). Through my PC feed we are supplying
- approximately one-third of Region 13 with echoes.
- PC is regularly saving us money. I am convinced that we are getting a
- much better flow via satellite than we were via phone lines.
-
- JS>> My apologies if I upset anyone with this latest post, but I can't
- JS>> afford to spend a ton of money on something that might not work for
- JS>> me...
- If you would take the time to check into Planet Connect more fully, you
- will find that they offer a 30 day guarantee. Buy the system, put it in place,
- and run it for 3 weeks. If you think you got shafted, return it to them for a
- full refund (as I understand the guarantee program. Since I still have mine 60
- days later I haven't tested it - maybe it doesn't work!) You're not out a 'ton
- of money'. Although, you may have to pay shipping, I don't know.
-
-
- I urge you to go to 'the horse's mouth' and to get your information
- directly, instead of screwing around with rumor and innuendo!

- While it does not solve the problem AUTOBOOT.ARJ can cut your losses.
- This program can be configured to watch hard drive and after 5 minutes
- (configurable) it will reboot the computer via your choice of a hardware, warm,
- or cold boot. I have had a problem at times with the high ascii bug.
- When that hits all disk writes stop but autoboot reboots computer and autoexec
- restarts ptccmain and all is well again with only 5 minutes lost. Autoboot is
- DV aware and can close and restart selected task.
-
- Freq' it here: AUTOBOOT.ARJ (17K)

- What exactly are the Linx files. I havent looked into them, I have

- because of space and time.
-
- Reason being is I run a wildcat 3.90 and to import files into my data
- base I use move command and Transcan. Transcan scans all files for
- viruses, and if a description file is in the archive it adds that
- description to my database. This is all automatic, but the LNX files
- never show a description along with lots of others. Up till now I have a
- cosysop ( and myself ) that just deletes the non description ones daily.
- Unless of course the filename looks good or the file size is extremely
- large.
-
- Is there a list of what all the files are that are being sent???

-
- I've noticed that while using the older version of PTCCMAIN that had to

-

-
- This is MY Fido tagline. When this message passes thru the gate from
- RIME to Fido Net my Fido Net software is going to add that tag line to
- the bottom of this message.
-
- Postlink is going to export this reply tonight. D'Bridge is going to
- send this message to Planet Systems right after Postlink sends it to
- you.
-
- In a day or so this message is going to come back to my system via the
- satellite and it will then pass thru the gate from Fido Network to RIME
- network and you're going to see it again.
-
- I can't stop that/this. Postlink is looing at this conference area and
- exporting all new messages to RIME. D'Bridge is looking at this echo
- area and exporting all new messages to Planet Connect.
-
- When the message returns to my system via satellite my Fido Net software
- will import it and Postlink will then export it to RIME. Postlink will
- see this message received via satellite as being a NEW message and
- you're going to see it as a dupe with an added Fido Network tag line.
-
- Neither Postlink, D'Bridge, InterPCB or InterEcho will see this message
- as a dupe and will allow it to travel.
-
- If you see *TWO* Fido Network tag lines in this message then someone in
- Fido Network has re-exported it which would be a *REAL* dupe.
-
- I see every one of your messages on my system in this message base
- twice. The first time it is posted by Postlink from RIME. The second
- time I see this message it will have come in via satellite and will
- indeed have my Fido Network tag line at the bottom of it.
-
- I run PCBoard 15.1. When I pack/purge this message area, PCBoard's PACK
- program doesn't see this message as a dupe either.
-
- Lets keep our fingers crossed that a RIME Spitfire system using a
- UTI doesn't start posting in this echo/conference and then decide to
- puke everything back. Then you'll REALLY see dupe messages as I'm sure
- you're aware of and I'll start receiving a flood of messages from both
- the RIME side and the Fido side users telling me to clean things up.
-
- The ONLY way you're not going to see this message twice on your system
- is when you import this conference into your system stright from the
- satellite using Fido Network software and you turn this conference off
- and don't imported it via your RIME software.
-
- Now if any of this isn't clear to you I'm sorry and can't help you out
- anymore becuase I don't have any other way to explain how things are
- working and how your message travels between the two networks via this
- gate. There isn't any software that I have that will see this message as
- a dupe message. It would be different if all I was using was Postlink
- and this was a gate between RIME and Metronet or RIME and whatever other
- net uses Postlink software, or if RIME were using Fido Network style
- software.

-
- ML> Why do all the linux stuff have to come out in SEPERATE file
- ML> areas?
- ML> Do they use the same file names for ALL the stuff your sending down?
-
- I've already been netmail with Janis on this. Her reasoning is
- so inconcruous as to be not worth discussion. But I'll give you
- my eval of it. <g> She says the idiots that are downloading
- LINUX are too d..n dumb to figure out that disk 1 is disk 1 and
- disk 2 is disk 2, etc. so there are separate areas for each and
- every disk.
-
- As Spock would say... illogical at best! Meantime you and I, and
- thousands of other sysops get to have some 45+ areas to define
- and handle on our systems.
-
- This is of course "forced" on us whether we like it or not. She
- also had no consideration for the fact that if you are a Planet
- Connect Sysop, you will get the areas. You will manage them.
- You will have to "play the game" whether you want to or not.
-
- You can't just summarily erase them. There are too many other
- files in the system... so for each and every file that is not
- handled immediately by the software, it has to be "looked at" to
- see what gives. What area it should be in. Why wasn't it
- "tossed"? Whether it is one that you want to take or not take?
- And of course then and only then you can erase what you don't
- want. You can't just delete without spending the time checking.
-
- If you decide you don't want the files... you STILL have to set
- them up in Allfix for passthru so you don't have to manage them
- EVERY time there is a wild hair to update a disk!
-
- Additionally, she was also under the impression that her sending
- out a notice that there would be all those areas was sufficient
- to have put me on notice they were coming. Unfortunately I
- didn't ever see that nor did I intend to look for it. With 689
- defined areas now in my Allfix setup, 7500 mail conferences on
- line, feeding mail/files to nearly 200 individual sysops/nodes
- using Fido/QWK/Postlink, and keeping my users happy, and the
- other duties I have to run 30 nodes while working a regular job,
- reading her "notice" was much farther down on the list than I'll
- ever get to.
-
- Perhaps you're more "focused" than I was on the PDN. <g>
-
- I use Allfix and it will handle a large volume of areas. Some of
- the older products choke on the volumes that I handle. But there
- was no consideration for the sysop in this matter it is obvious.
-
- But there was plenty of consideration, apparently, for all 3
- people in the world that run LINUX. At least there might be that
- many. I only know of one in KC... but then he's the one that's
- too cheap to buy real software, so he gets the free stuff if he
- can.
-
- Bottom line: I pointed the Allfix setup to the same BBS
- directory and run the descriptions all into the same directory
- and the end result is you have what you should have had in the
- first place. I do have the software to handle the multiple areas,
- but had to set it up just like you and every other sysop... like
- we had nothing else to do but type in all those areas. <g>
-
- The total lack of consideration for the sysops was unbelievable!
-
- Her efforts to get out the files is of course appreciated. Just
- not the methods.

-
- In reference to using PCFaudit v2.0 with the Planet Connect satelite
- files.
-
- I have come up to a problem with using the PCFaudit v2.0 program. It
- seems that if I do not have a valid SECURE.LST file due to not having
- one at all (bad reception) or having yesterday's still (not getting a
- new one for the present day) your program will delete all files in the
- inbound directory. If for some reason a SECURE.LST file is not present
- it would be nice to NOT touch the inbound directory.
-
- Also I have had problems with a mail net that seems to want it's mail
- packets tossed in chronological order. Several days packets can be
- processed all at once as long as they are done in order with
- relationship to the day they were produces. As these packets are named
- in a manner that tells me which day of the week they were produced and
- at any one time, file #12 could be older than file #3 it is not the name
- that should be considered. Also if for some reason the files are sent
- via satelite in a mixed up order the order saved to the drive may not be
- relevant. I would suspect that the time and date would be the factor
- that would solve this problem. If they could be moved from the oldest to
- the newest.
-
- On a slightly minor point, your program changes the date and time of any
- file it moves to the present time and date. I would like to see the time
- and date of any file stay at their original if at all possible.
-
- Thank you for your consideration to these matters.

- Sorry about that Boyd. Some how your node got turned on in FastEcho

-
- By the way, while I have your attention <grin>. Thanks to both you and

-
- With all the discussion about what Planet Connect has to offer and whether or
- not the guys doing it "are a bunch of hicks". I offer the following as proof
- that regardless of how any one "feels"(Bill Clinton pun intended :), PC offers
- a low cost, high performance alternative to conventional mail systems.
-
- Here goes: Mays phone bill for the mail system: $344.23
-
- Purchased Planet Connect Data Receiver $298.00
- Installed June 8th
- 10'aluminium dish $149.00 (wholesale)
- 20 degree LNBF $79.00 (wholesale)
- 150'multi-conductor cable @ 0.23 ft $34.50
- Electronic positioner jack (not required for PC) $53.00
- 2 80lb sacks concrete @ $2.34 each 4.68
- labor to dig hole, assemble dish and alignment.
- (did it my self)
- Total cost for system -- $618.18
- Subscription to PC (ReFeed) $40.00 month
- Payback duration (break even) 1.2 months
-
- We chose to purchase our own dish and supplies but PC will supply a system
- ready to install for about $600.00
-
- The bottom line is, from a business point of view, simply stated: any purchase
- with a payback under 1 year is a welcomed and reatively unheard of phenomenon.
- The subscribers to our BBS get A LOT MORE for no increase in their subscription
- rates. As a result Planet Connect has provided for us, a competitive edge.

-
- Oh, is that all it takes?! :-) Well, I started my first BBS in 1983 running
- on a 48k Atari BBS with a self-hacked copy of some software written for a
- TRS-80 computer. I first got into the FidoNet in 1985 running Fido version 11

- As you can gather from the responses you've gotten, I think you'll probably
- decide that PC is worth it. It's not without problems. IMHO, the actual
- software needs a lot of improvement and pales in comparison to the features or
- flexibility of even a crude FidoNet mailer. However, they're slowly improving
- it.
-
- If you're doing any significant amount of long distance dialing and have a
- computer to dedicate to PC receiving (IMHO you almost have to have a dedicated
- computer), then I'd say definitely go for it -- once you get over the initial
- hurdle of how to deal with so much incoming data, you'll never regret it.
-
- JS> 3. I have not been able to find any source of "written" literature,

-
- You're right. That's another thing I discovered too. PC is going primarily
- on the basis of word-of-mouth, which IMHO is far better than some biased glossy
- brochure. In some ways, PC doesn't act like the traditional high-pressure
- company acting like sales are everything. PC is just sort of low key and
- effective. In my experience with Planet Connect, I think it's safe to say you
- won't hear a lot of sales pitches and you shouldn't expect to get smoke blown
- up your butt. While some people are used to and expect traditional sales
- pitches and tactics, for myself, I find PC's attitude refreshing.
-
- You will find that they do have some good and informative VHS videos --
- complete with "real" people and not models :-) -- of the system. Dial them up
- voice (1-615-623-4694) and ask about that.
-
- JS> 4. I've been reading here for over a week, and have yet to see any

-
- Do you mean from Boyd Goodin or Johnny Green? Look, you'll see them.
- You'll also find that they're more active in PCSITES, which is an echo similar
- to this one but which is restricted to PC systems. But basically, there's not
- much for them to say, other than an occasional post to keep folks informed
- about the status of the new software (currently in beta). Once you've got the
- dish set up and aligned the actual software install is a snap -- far easier
- than setting up a front-end mailer.
-
- JS> 5. Not one person in this echo has anything to say about PC that might

-
- For sure some things need work. As I said, my particular beef is with the
- PTCCMAIN software. I don't think it's up to par now, and I want to see a
- native OS/2 version yesterday. IMHO, from what I've seen, even the changes
- done to the new version (logging added, screen blanker, etc.) are fairly
- trivial in nature. If I knew more about the process of writing the program I
- might say that it seems that more emphasis has been put into security than in
- making decent design decisions about the way the software works. As I've said,
- I don't rank the software highly -- but it does work.

- I'm sure there is a Planet Connect subscriber somewhere close to Richardson,
- Tx, which is your location per your Origin line. Why not find out who the
- closest one is and see if you can arrange a personal looksee at the operation.
- That should allay all your concerns.
-
- BTW, "othernet" stuff is send along with the Filebone files, which comes
- immediately after the RIME mail and before the PCUSENET traffic.
-
- Order of traffic on Planet Connect during a transmission cycle is:
-
- a. Planet Connect admin traffic, which includes the weather files, TV
- listings and utility software used to run in conjunction with Planet Connect
- software.
-
- b. FidoNet mail (0000FFFF.???) files.
-
- c. RIME mail files.
-
- d. Filebone files with corresponding *.TIC files (*.TIC files are all
- send in one ALLTICS.0nn file, where nn is the day of the month), together with
- "othernet" traffic.
-
- e. Planet Connect admin traffic is repeated after the
- Filebone/othernet traffic.
-
- f. PCUSENET traffic.
-
- Certain necessary control files are repeated every thirty files throughout the
- transmission cycle, like the UPLD.LST file, which is the main listing of files
- being sent over the "bird" during that transmission cycle.
-
- When one transmission cycle completes, another is begun, and that continues
- over a 24 hour transmission "day". Generally, the only files that might change
- during subsequent transmission cycles on the same transmission day is the
- addition of newer RIME mail files.

- Well, you just deleted an all-singing, all-dancing, full-blown 32-bit,
- multi-tasking, multi-user, Unix-clone operating system.
-
- Linux is an advanced Unix clone OS. It features memory swapping, a flat
- 32-bit memory model, full networking built in, full e-mail and internet
- support, the full suite of Unix utilities that you would expect in any modern
- Unix costing hundreds or thousands of dollars, and a complete X-windows
- graphical user interface.
-
- Of course, this barely touches the surface of Linux features. Also included
- in the files you're deleting are multi-user games and applications of various
- sorts (everything from BBSs to WYSIWYG word processors to multi-media e-mail to
- spreadsheets). All this is packed into an OS that comes with the COMPLETE
- source code, is 100% free, and which rivals commercial operating $ystems for
- reliability, lack of bugs, and hardware support (Linux is so solid and popular
- that Novell is going to be relea$ing a commercial version of this freeware
- operating system).
-
- Now, hopefully I've succeeded in making you regret your decision to delete
- this fabulous 100% free operating system (did I mention it is "free" and is
- copyleft'ed under the GNU license agreement?!:-). If you do regret this, Janis
- (the PDN coordinator) has promised to re-release the Linux files sometime soon.

-
- Everyone;
-
- We did encounter a problem Monday night that shut the uplink machine down for
- about 2 hours. This was not forseen by any of us here. We have been working
- hard on solving this high ascii situation and have come up with, I think, is a
- solution to our problem. The Uplink software has been configured to exit only
- after a complete file is sent. This will help us control the shut down in the
- mornings and to make sure that we do not shut it down during a secure area.
- What happened monday is that it shut down in the middle of a rime file by
- itself. We are still looking into why that happened. With a situation like this
- there is no possible way that we could forsee this comming and to prevent it.
- So our solution it within the receiving software. On the next release it will
- be hardcoded into the program to look for a 30 second pause or delay of
- incoming data. If it sees that after the last block it gets there is a period
- of 30 seconds where itdoes not receive another block then the software will
- exit completely out of memory. It will exit with an errorlevel of 12 so that
- you can test for this errorlevel and start the program back up. Once the
- software starts back up it will sit there and wait for the restart of the
- transmitter. The time counter only starts monitoring after it receives a block
- of data.
-
- Hopefully with the 2 revisions you will see an elimination of this high
- ascii broblem that has had both us and you in a bit of a tight spot. We are
- truely sorry for any inconvience this problem has been causing.

-
- Another thing that bothers me is that we sometimes miss a couple

- BM> I have come up to a problem with using the PCFaudit v2.0 program.
-
- The routine I used to copy files changed the date. I hadn't given any
- thought to possible problems resulting from file date changes. I have
- added code to retain the original date/time.
-
- I have PCFAudt5.ARJ available for Freq, you can Freq the magic name
- "PCFAUDIT". This version includes the retain original date/time change.
-
- Here is the current PCFAudit process:
-
- 1. PCFAudit first loads PCFAudit.cfg and extracts the "UPLIST" file
- name; "FILES" and "TOSS" directories; "PATHLST" list of paths; and
- "AUDIT" and "CRITICAL" file names.
-
- 2. Next PCFAudit then loads a list that it maintains, a list of files
- received in the past two days (PCFAudit.Hav). List includes Date/Time
- info, to be used in comparisions.
-
- 3. The files in the "FILES" directory are then checked against the files
- in the list of files Received. Date/Time as well as Names are checked
- New files are logged into the list and they are moved to the "TOSS"
- directory. Files that have previously been received are deleted.
-
- 4. Next the "UPLIST" (Upld.Lst) is checked and verified that it is
- todays list. PCFAudit will use the previous days UPLD.Lst if the
- program is being run prior to the start of a new days activity as
- specified by "NEWDAY". If it is a current list, then is read and and
- checked against the list of files received. If a "UPLIST" listed file

- comment that the number of areas for LINUX is excessive,
- unncessary and inconsiderate continues as accurate though.

- Bill, try LIST with the upload list located in your \SKYDATA\SKYINFO directory.

- Hmmm - thanks for the idea, Bill. Looks like a fun programming project for me

- I understand that there is an OS/2 Beta driver for use with Planet

- want to try to run my mailer ( which downloads the PC info) under it.
-
- Thanks for any help. I am thoughally enjoying the connection. Tend to be
- over-whelmed with the amount of information available, as I have just
- activated the account and I am new to all this.
-
- Any suggestions as to what echos I need to be aware of to keep me
- informed? I have this one and PC_Sites going now.

- Thanks

-
- My system as well.. unfortunately I have the BBS report to the sat system
- regularly so when the sat locked up it took the rest of the BBS with it.
-
- I decided I would rother have receive problems with the older version than lock
- up the whole system with the new 620.
-
- The last message on the bottom of the screan was something to the effect of
- upgrade now????
-
- I wonder what is going on?
