Adapters worked successfully using VLMs on Novell Netware 4.10, now we wish to use Netware 4.0 with Win95 and Client 32 on the laptops. Win95 recognizes the card, however does not see the network. Also, what setup from the diskette should we use; there is both megahertz.inf and oemsetup.inf files, as well as several model number alternatives - none of which matches that marked on the adapter or the shipping box. Any info greatly appreciated.

TIA, Richard Despite some excellent help from Howard Johnson (at least I have filtering working now), I have been unable to get procmail to redirect mail (e.g. from various mailing lists) into other inboxes, that are apparently supported by PINE. It'll redirect them into saved-folders, but my goal is to get the new mail put into inboxes so I can check new mail via the TAB key. I can get inboxes (which I _can_ check via TAB, and which also remain empty) to appear via the PINE Lists menu, but no new mail goes into them. (When it asks for server, I say mail ( without a /) Can anyone give me the path for those IN-boxes, so procmail can send incoming filtered messages there? Or is there a better way?

Its especially bad,if you attempt to play Quake,no matter what the time of day,or connection rate. The connection floods out(ping 999 plus) and at other times is VERY erratic(wild swings from 200 to 999+ on a random basis). Does anyone have any information on a patch or fix for this? Or is it yet another of those problems that are going to be fixed "Real Soon Now"? It seems they are now on the 539 modem pool as well. Thanks for your time,and any information you might have. ============================================================== "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.

PS, please respond to Tupac@iname.com original message please read and answer Dear Tim, MPlayer itself has no regard at all for what kind of modem you use to = access us with. There are a few things that you should check on. First = thing, you should call your ISP and make sure they have not changed = anything on you. MPlayer will not work through a Proxy server at all. = If they installed a firewall, you need to punch a hole through it from = port addresses 8000-8999. Also, you need to make sure that they can = handle UDP packets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: NightLifer Subject: How to stop a mail flood from a mail form Date: 23 Jun 1997 02:45:41 -0600 Does anyone know the best way of handling this situation? I have a mail form where users can submit their sites to be linked to my pages. Every fifteen minutes (give or take a minute), I get a mail for a request. I've been getting this same mail all weekend. Supposedly, the user is from juno.com, but I know that mail-form info can be completely bogus. The question is: how can I stop this from happening? How do I kill the flood? Granted, I can set up a filter-rule to delete the mail, but that doesn't alleviate the usage of XMission's resources for this stream of garbage I'm getting. There must be some way, but it's 3:00am and I'm overlooking it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have NOT touched my .login or .cshrc files for over a year. I log in through an xterm or a vt220 emulator. Both of these have NOT been changed in over a year so NOTHING on MY end of things has changed. I have noticed, however, that /usr/bin/csh HAS been changed as of June 18, 1997. Does the new version NOT understand termcap properly? For me to get around the problem, I am manually using "stty rows x cols y". The "resize" command (appears to d) does nothing. Thanks for any light you can shed on this situation.

And also read it equally as well.... only if I telnet into XMission. You see, the problem is whenever I choose to retrieve mail with Netscape, it prompts me to type a password before it gathers the information from xmission. I did not specify a password for mail, nor was ever asked for one. I tried both leaving the line blank, and also typing in my normal XMission pasword. Nothing. I get the rejected error message. I believe it is set up correctly in Netscape, both incoming and outgoing mail servers are set up as "mail.xmission.com" therefore it reads "rjomero@mail.xmission.com" when I go to retrieve it. Still the same password problem. Again, I receive the mail perfectly in a Telnet prompt and can read it just as clear. And I can send mail just fine in Netscape, in fact I am typing this to you in it. Pleas help me. I like the service so far, and I do not want to be dissappointed. I know you'll do your best, and it is appreciated. Scott Myers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Doran L.

I suspect you're using IMAP and should be using POP3. - -Fozz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBM7iMETgyKh+yppGKEQIbXACdGQh3RIlUl15qIx/cUdndgfSAnSYAoKpc ONrhEXmFDfzL5VVNvQkqovNn =6Uru -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ======================================================================== Doran L.
