In an off list discussion, it was noted that 99% of the truncation for one user was at the end of my sig. Ny sig has a dot at the end, to force truncation on some servers, that is NOT needed for this list. Gerry, if you see a dot after my sig to this list, and you can not remove it, bounce the post. I will try to remember to remove that dot, or not sign posts, to this list. -- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jerel. --- (dot removed) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Feb 1999 22:14:57 -0800 From: mary m boondy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Solution for .pdf retreival?

By stripping the file of the high bit, I got some thing that was closer to readable. Unfortunately, the software, likely at this end, changed some of the characters, making it still hard to read, for the most part. There are a lot of utilities out that can do this stripping. I used a text file viewer, that happened to have that option. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 04:48:14 GMT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FTPMail, Agora, etc. statistics FTPMail, Agora, etc. statistics for Mon 8 Feb 1999, posted Tue 9 Feb, 04:47 GMT/BST Less than 1 hour [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1-4 hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4-10 hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] More than 10 hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] Response within 4 hours in at least 5 out of 7 recent tests [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This data is generated automatically around 0600 GMT/BST most days.

You write: > I haven't had an extended vacation since >1992 when I was gone for 9 weeks. 1994 >I got a whole 2 weeks off. Since that time -- zero. This is very very silly. I could not believe that a clever person like you would have chosen such an absurd behavior. While I can understand your pride and your joy in doing everyday something extremely useful for the whole community (and you ARE doing something extremely useful, stemming frills and putting back some content on this increasing useless web of frills) I cannot condone such a 'Stakanovistical' attitude. Take vacations (more than once every year) as often as you can. We will miss you, of course, but we will all still be there when you are back, and maybe you'll let a little of the stress you are feeling off. No-one should renounce to a couple of months vacations every year. We are all here -you too- to ENJOY the web and life, not to be enslaved by the web to the point of wasting our lifes on it. Just my two cents, of course, and you probably wont agree with me, yet I feel that I had to tell you what I believe. Once more: I love what you are doing, and I'll try to give you on the ACCMAIL list some of the help you are correctly asking for, but if you don't take (at least) your 60 days vacations every year, as all human beings should do, I personally will like you and your work a little less, not a little more. Besides there's nothing like a long vacation from the web or a broken leg in grips to realize how curiously persistent and at the same time ephimerous this virtual world of ours is. cu MML == cu, Mary MacLeod _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

A." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: "Accessing email" FAQ ;-> At the rate requests keep popping up on the list about how to access web-based email, there may be a need to have an 'Accessing email" FAQ, as distinct from "Acessing the internet by email"! It must be emphasized that it is _not_ possible to access web-based email services off-line, not even with utilities like cwebmail or sweetmail. These programs all require a live TCP connect to the internet. Nor can you retrieve/post your email through the webmail servers, despite claims to the contrary (awhile ago on this list). Any search engine will throw up plenty of listings of free email providers on the web; even a few that provide POP3/SMTP services, all quite useless unless you do have at least shell access to the internet or deep pockets for long-distance telephone charges.

I'm looking for the free e-mail service available both by web and POP & SMTP. So, I have one already ( http://freemail.org.mk , [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) , all is correct besides one thing: the disk quota for each user is 2000000 bytes, maximum length of a message is 500000 bytes. I'd like to have at least 4-5 MB as disk quota. Unlike, many good services (Yahoo, HotMail etc.) aren't available by POP & SMTP. :-( The CWebMail does not work throught proxy server if HTTP is off on server by sysadmin :-( . Can anyone tell (or send me this info if someone has) me where I can read about such services including the disk quota for each user, maximum length of a message and what I have to write as POP and SMTP server in my e-mail program. I'm interesting ONLY in free and good e-mail. All the best, Dmytro Pavlov, Ukraine. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 09:41:43 -0800 From: "Gerald E.

[...] Dearest Mary (and others), Well there's always a little more to a story than would first appear. I didn't really want to write a life story here but let me add a few things. The complaints by me were to show that many other events are happening other than just my answers to this list. Asking me to do "one" more thing is just burdensome. I do things when I want to or when I'm intrigued by the subject matter. Secondly, I'm also a part-time college teacher so vacations are limited to when I can get away from college -- which lately hasn't been too much because of the third item. Third, I retired from systems programming in July 1998 after 34 years so I now have much more time to devote to my home PC. So my teaching duties have increased because "I'm retired" -- that is, they want me to become a full-timer in teaching. However, this I refused to do, but then I agree to teach "one" more and "one" more class. It's hard to explain, but I have been in love with computers forever. I have never regretted my career choice. The teaching was always a part-time thing that has evovled to 20-year "side" career - which I also truly love to do. I just can't/don't want to give it up. It's a wonderful feeling to be in front of a classroom -- I love love love it. Besides, it's good for me because it forces me to stay on top of the learning curve. I have taught and learned more subjects related to computers than I ever did at my work place. Lastly, since all three of my daughters are grown up and gone on their ways, a vacation just lacks the same feeling. My wife agrees. Going camping is just not the same any more. She and I are perfectly content to remain at home. She does her thing and I do mine. That is, extended vacations just don't hold the same appeal anymore. Day to day events are just fine. I have been addicted to PCs since I built a kit in the 70s. I have never been without at least one machine since that time. Since June 1994 it has been truly a wonderful time for me and I don't regret any of it. I just moan when somebody asks me to do "one" more thing. One and one and one more just adds up to a lot of things. I was just trying to put in perspective what all the "ones" added up to. Anyway, don't dislike me because I don't take a vacation. Actually, I'm now on a continuous vacation but it's one of my choosing -- I love being "retired" (:>) -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 11:00:56 -0800 From: "Gerald E.

What I said before still stands, I don't know how they are added but I'd be willing to bet it has something to do with the installation programs. MSIE and Outlook express were on this new Win 98 machine when I purchased it. I added Pegasus first and tried it for a while. I then added Eudora then TheBat!.

At 03:56 PM 2/9/99 -0400, Carlos E. Peralta ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote the > Can anyone tell me, like a baby, what's the meaning of SLIP/PPP and for >what is this? Serial Line IP (SLIP) was created first and is defined in RFC1055, A Nonstandard for Transmission of IP Datagrams Over Serial Lines. This is a miniumn protocol that allows host computers to link via TCP/IP over a telephone line. The SLIP protocol uses a simple method for "framing" IP datagrams for transmission over serial lines. SLIP sends the datagrams across the serial line as a series of bytes, framed by two special byte sequences. The SLIP "end" character (decimal 92) marks the end of a datagram. The SLIP "esc" character (decimal 219) is used to "escape" the SLIP control characters. If the sending SLIP sees either of these two characters, it converts the character to a sequence of two characters -- ESC 220 for the END character and ESC 221 for the ESC character itself. When the receiving SLIP encounters these two characters, it converts them back to single-byte values. This prevents the receiving SLIP from incorrectly interpreting a data byte as the end of a datagram. Two deficiences in SLIP are identified by RFC1055: 1) The SLIP protocol doesn;t define any link control information that can be used to dynamically control the characteristics of the connection. 2) SLIP doesn't compensate for noisy, low-speed telephone lines. PPP was developed to accomodate these two weaknesses and is defind in RFC1171, The Point-To-Point Protocol for the Transmission of Multi-Protocol Datagrams Over Point-To-Point Links and RFC1172, The Point-To-Point (PPP) Initial Configuration Options. PPP addresses the weknesses of SLIP with a three-layered protocol: 1) Data Link Protocol 2) Link Control Protocol (LCP) 3) Network Control Protocols (NCP) PPP is a more robust protocol, but it is more difficult to implement. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 11:34:03 -0800 From: "Gerald E.
