historical about now!) and I have a thing to tell you: the Xpert function

does not seem to work. What I mean, every time I go to try it, it

goes "Translating to ;H;;CHAT" or something similar. I buffered the

|

Well, I'm mostly into BBSing, though a friend is anxious to have some
|
|
of us take a quick trip up to Wisconsin for lunch some day by private
|
|
plane.
|
|
So, you farm and fly commercial jets, and BBS now and then? Quite
|
|
a combo.

My most recent interest is in MIDI music - I'm trying to get the most

out of some VERY old MIDI equipment, and perhaps update it a bit.

to BRENT JONES re: R/PRODIGY WARNING
|
|
|
|
Our computer club (APCU) had a demo of Prodigy today, and each person
|
|
in attendance got a free access kit and 90 days free use (not bad!)
|
|
Unfortunately, it won't work with my COM3: modem, though I'm going to
|
|
try patching the BIOS data area so if it USES the addr there, it will
|
|
pick up my COM3: addr instead of COM1.
|
|
The EMAIL idea is pretty good - and also bill paying - it can probably
|
|
darned near pay for itself. The speaker, from Detroit, said that he has
|
|
all his "automatic" payments made - mortgage, car payment, etc - things
|
|
that are identical from month to month.
|
|
He also said that he could mail checks to non-affiliated organizations,
|
|
such as say the PTA, and that Prodigy will write the check and MAIL it!
|
|
The LAST THING I need is another thing to keep me tied to the computer
|
|
instead of working on my house (vacuuming, painting, etc), but looks like
|
|
this might be it!
|
|
Unfortunately it works in mono on a CGA, so since my commo system is CGA
|
|
it will be "boring" if it works at all - otherwise I'll use my laptop.

|
to RICHARD HINTON re: R/EXTENDED MEMORY??
|
|
|
|
On a 286-based AT, you basically have three choices for using extended memory.
|
|
1) Use it as a RAM disk
|
|
2) Use something like Desqview or (heaven forbid) OS/2 that will allow it
|
|
to be used for multiple tasks
|
|
3) Get a software emulator that will make it look like expanded memory,
|
|
which a fair number of DOS applications can use.
|
|
You can't push DOS itself beyond the 640K limit (well, you can push it just
|
|
a little bit, but not to the point of adding several megs on).

|
to JOE JESSON re: R/ANI TELEPHONE SERVICE.
|
|
|
|
Remember that until the caller ID service becomes really widespread, it
|
|
will be of limited use because it will be able to show the calling number
|
|
only for calls that originate in the same exchange area. Eventually
|
|
central offices will all exchange this information.
|
|
The privacy issue could be handled easily enough: a caller who didn't
|
|
want his number to be displayed could dial a special prefix before the number,
|
|
causing a message to appear on the recipient's display stating that the
|
|
caller wishes not to have his number known. The recipient could then decide
|
|
whether or not to answer the call.

Hi. I just read your message about Profigy not working on Com3. If you

eventually find a way to patch the BIOS area, I'd appreciate it if you

let me know how you went about it. I have another program that only works on

Com 1, but our modems are all on Com 2. Thanks.Mike

You can change the DTR setting to what you want by sending:
|
|
AT &D 2
|
|
This will allow you to use + ATH to disconnect.

|
|
I have been looking ig my desk top publisher from PFS first ch
|
|
ce. Due to some of the limitations that are obvious - in addition; to the
|
|
limitations that are not so obvious. Like when I rented a HP laser printer
|
|
series II for a weekend at 146.00 dollars to print out some documents in
|
|
letter quality mode using laser fonts. I found the result to be even density
|
|
but the print wasn't much better than the dot matrix print I had. Since
|
|
you don't send out staight ASCII to the printer in any publisher you can't
|
|
use thier nice fonts. You have to rely on what your publisher downloads.
|
|
One solution was to buy a memory res. program from Atech Software which
|
|
corrects much of the problem even on my dot matrix.
|
|
However; I have been doing some publishing on the side and the quality is
|
|
better but can still be improved.
|
|
I have been looking into Vetura Publisher which seems to have almost every
|
|
thing you could want others like GEM, Byline,PageMaker,office publisher.
|
|
ect. All seem to missing something. The big question is the software and
|
|
printer used. The Post script printers (Apple Writer.) seems best in most
|
|
instances, but cost much more than for instance an HP series II or Compat-
|
|
able. Does anyone have a laser printer they are using with Ventura Publisher
|
|
and what printer are you using. How is the quality ?
|
|

My understanding is that the big companies are all trying to get their
|
|
VGA as the standard. So in fact, there isn't a standard! And this is
|
|
the whole problem. It is also tough to buy a VGA now, as a lot of

programs are not compatible with some VGA boards. If you want more

to JIM SACKETT re: R/INFO ON DTP
|
|

I have had the same problem with my HP Lasar Printer II and using GEOS.
|
|
The problem is that the DTP uses the same dot density as your dot
|
|
matrix printer. Yes, the program can do better, but that's up to the
|
|
software author. For GEOS, they added another program called GEOLASER
|
|
which takes standard GEOS files and dump them to an Apple Lasar (only.
|
|
sigh.) and then the dot density comes out at 300 DPI. I guess like
|
|
you, I bought the wrong program and the wrong printer.
|
|
|
|
I guess thats life in the big chipville!
