|
|
to SCOTT TEIPE re: YOUR BBS
|
|
|
|
You ask if your BBS is in the list we carry here. You
|
|
repeatedly ask Ward and his staff here to insert it in the list. The
|
|
header on the current Stillwaters list (and the one that will
|
|
replace it) specifically states that if you want a BBS listed you
|
|
must call Stillwaters BBS and ask them to add it to their list.
|
|
In order to prevent pranksters from posting fake numbers to harass
|
|
people every effort is made to check on new numbers to validate them.
|
|
That, too, is a function of the Stillwaters staff. As a special
|
|
favor to you, we added the number you supplied in a message here to
|
|
OUR copy of the new list. However, after several attempts to contact your
|
|
BBS at the number given, there is no answer. Having neither the time
|
|
nor the inclination to spend any more time on the matter, the staff here
|
|
decided to remove your number from our list and recommend that you
|
|
contact the Stillwaters BBS directly and ask them to verify your
|
|
number and put it in the list that they publish - and that we copy,
|
|
as many other BBSs do. Good luck.

to ALL re: PRODIGY E-MAIL ??
|
|
|
|
Some messages here were saying that the best thing about Prodigy was
|
|
its E-mail abilities. Can that send messages through gateways to other
|
|
services or mediums? In other words, can I send a FAX message (or TWX
|
|
or MCI Mail message) from Prodigy?
|
|
I just got a 30-day fee trial offer in the mail, but dont' see much
|
|
there that would even justify $9.95 a month. There was an insert for
|
|
"NBD Express" home banking that will be available in this area, but it
|
|
also says (in fine print) "After the free 90 days, the bank will charge
|
|
a minimal monthly fee for NBD Express", so I'll probably skip that.
|
|
(Plus, I had a number of bad experiences with National Bank of Detroit
|
|
when I lived there; why would I want to repeat them?)
|
|
|
|
I still haven't seen much to convince me to shell out $10 each and
|
|
every month for Prodigy.

to EARL HALL re: R/PRODIGY E-MAIL ??
|
|
|
|
Prodigy IS pretty interesting - I was showing it off to my neighbor
|
|
today, and we wound up spending about 2 hrs on it.
|
|
It has things like live weather maps (i.e. they change every couple
|
|
hours), local forecasts, the ability to make airline reservations,
|
|
a BBS (which you will probably HATE because it assumes you are a complete
|
|
boob right off the turnip truck, and has NO expert user ability).
|
|
This morning, Prodigy had my phone tied up for an extra 20 minutes,
|
|
because I got SO upset with its stupid BBS, that I just rebooted - then
|
|
later found my phone was still "off hook". ;-)
|
|
But seriously, you might give it a try and see if you like it. You will
|
|
want to have at least EGA, since the CGA version is B/W, and not as
|
|
interesting as the color version.
|
|
Should you join, my ID is TPPH95A.
|
|
When you compare Prodigy (at $10/month) with Compuserve (at $12/hr?) you
|
|
will find Compuserve "pretty darned good", but Prodigy, "pretty darned
|
|
cheap". ;-)
|
|
No, you can't send EMAIL thru gateways. You can't capture your mail
|
|
to disk. You can't prepare messages in advance. You can't use any but
|
|
their 10-year-obsolete-toy-40-character-screens. It is the BBS for the
|
|
"child in us" providing we want to be treated like a child. I think the
|
|
bulletin board part was an after thought. The rest of it is pretty
|
|
good. It takes a while to get used to.
|
|
There are a LOT of GOOD things about it - like a personal "path" - of
|
|
commands you want to automatically execute. You just press F4 (or P
|
|
then enter) and you will go to the next section on your path.
|
|
But be ready for Many disappointments: like how it throws away all
|
|
typeahead (it must be for CP/M people in the '70s) and how you{an't
|
|
print anything they don't support printing of directly.
|
|
It is one of the best/worst systems I've seen.

I called 499-0048 and got the modem answered, (8-n-1) waited a few

I noticed when doing the low level format on my Adaptec ACB-2372
|
|
controller with an RLL drive I could use the DEBUG sequence of
|
|
-G=c800:5 to pull up the ROM formatting program from my controller.
|
|
I tried doing the same thing with a MFM controller and nothing!!
|
|
Is there a different ROM setting for DEBUG formatting program
|
|
in the MFM controller? I don't like using Disk Manager because it
|
|
doesn't allow a one 42.7 megabyte formatted partition. I think
|
|
DOS 4.0 using FDISK will allow a 42.7 meg ( entire ST 251 disk)
|
|
partition. But I can't find the low level generic commands to turn
|
|
on the ROM formatting program from DEBUG. Thanks.

DOS 4.01 DOES allow you to partition a LARGE drive into two drives
|
|
only. I can make my 80 meg any 1 or two sizes I want. I low
|
|
level with Disk Manager then use DOS 4.01. The Disk Manager
|
|
is supposed to slow down disk commands I guess thru a sepcial
|
|
sequence (reading the DM commands first) so DOS would be quicker.
|
|
I heard that DOS 3.3 also allows partitioning but maybe NOT
|
|
over 32 megs.

Yes... you have to use special software... They were giving out free 3
|
|
month trial subsf*criptions at NETWORLD in Dallas. They might have
|
|
them at the PC Expo as well at McCormick Place Oct 3-5.
