Re: [ql-users] SOQL
I finished coding CHAP last Weekend and hope to test it this coming Weekend. It will probably need some fiddling to get it working properly. I hope that will crack the ISP access problems that some people have been experiencing. I have the sources of an FTP client which I would like to try to port to the soQL library but I haven't had time to look at it yet.

Re: [ql-users] soQL Emailer almost ready
Sounds great I look forward to trying it. I've been giving some thougt to a WMAN front end. I've been strugling with CPTR though. It won't work on my uQLx setup and although I've followed J. M.Sadlers excelent article in QL Today Vol.7 Iss.6 I'm not sure how to continue. But perhapps I should be looking into adding an authentication to PPP first? I'd also like to do somthing about releasing the sources. I think CVS is a good idea to help coordinate development but I not sure about SourceForge. Any Ideas?

Although it seems like a long time has passed since I announced the project, problems with C68, my month long holidays and school, made me devote very little time on it. However come summer session end in College I will be able to accelerate and hopefully by mid to end of August I will have it available for a beta test.

I think Sourceforge is THE way to go as it may attract other prior QL users that have no clue about this list or the current state of affairs in the QL world. As for the Serial-To-Ethernet, as I said it worked fine. However that was an expensive piece of h/w and I was now looking at a cheap design based on the CS Ethernet chip (about $40). That could also benefit of the PPP for the PPPoE portion of DSL connections. I am also looking into Tarquin's HB C port although because of Curses it restricts me a lot in things I want to do. The parser also needs a little help there as it is rather simple still... however that too is promising. I still haven't gotten around to recompile Lynx to see how that fares as a comparison. Also yes PPP authentication needs to be added. The front end isn't that important. The solution I thought of was to modify the existing SMTP and POP mailers package them together and provide a TPTR based SBasic front end. That way processes can run separately anyway and you can also make something nice graphically very quickly. A big advantage that TPTR has (as we discovered with QWord) is that it allows you to do mouse based GUIs without using the whole of the PE per se. Ie you set up the window but all of the terrible concepts of the PE ie the Menu/Window concept that is good for context sensitive actions but looks gross as a menu system don't have to be used. Instead you can make whatever you like looking the way you want it... ie pretty ;-) Phoebus -- Phoebus Dokos - Undergrad in MIS Eberly College of Business - Indiana U. of PA
Re: [ql-users] SOQL PPP tests
Hello Claude Here is a short guide to what has to be done to set-up soql PPP. Unzip the zipfile: - The zip file is designed to be unzipped on flp1_ If you unzip it to another location you will have to edit the files boot and bootPPP in the APS_MAIL_ directory. Each file requires a single change to the Dev$ initialisation. You may want to change the port definition in bootPPP. See the readme_txt file for more information. There are two files you HAVE to edit: In DNSrecords_txt you need to add any names that have to be resolved into their Internet addresses. The most important names are the names of your pop3 and smtp servers. To convert them into the hexadecimal values stored in DNSrecords you could use ping to resolve the addresses into decimal dot form. See example below. The decimal dot form can be converted to the required hexadecimal form by converting each decimal number to a two digit hexadecimal number and combining them to the 8 digit form. This again can be seen in the example below. The program pop3 requires the name MAIL to resolvable into your pop3 mail servers address. This requires the same number to be entered for MAIL as was entered for your pop3 server. The file mail_dat is used by soqlMailer to define various parameters: name = Put the name to appear in your email here host = Put the bit of your email address which comes after @ here user = Put the bit of your email address which comes before @ here smtp = Put the address of your smtp server here e.g. smtp.freesurf.ch tz = Put your time zone here e.g. +0100 You may also like to define sigf = with the name of a file to be used as your signature file. This will be appended to all mails sent. Now please read the readme_txt to see how to use the package __ example host name resolution using ping: --- C:\WINDOWSping smtp.freesurf.ch PING smtp.freesurf.ch [194.230.0.8]: 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 128.63.240.80: icmp_seq=0 time=16 ms 64 bytes from 128.63.240.80: icmp_seq=1 time=9 ms 64 bytes from 128.63.240.80: icmp_seq=2 time=9 ms 64 bytes from 128.63.240.80: icmp_seq=3 time=8 ms 64 bytes from 128.63.240.80: icmp_seq=4 time=8 ms ^C The address is converted as follows: 194 is C2 in hexadecimal 230 is E6 in hexadecimal 0 is 00 in hexadecimal 8 is 08 in hexadecimal The DNSrecords_txt entry is then: smtp.freesurf.ch 0xC2E60008 - Original Message - From: Claude Mourier 00 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 10:35 AM Subject: RE: [ql-users] SOQL PPP tests Could you explain a bit what configuration is needed for this test, as I don't know TCP-IP ?

The only other clue I have is that some of the text from the SMTP server is garbled.

Re: [ql-users] soql
Looks like the providers trying to do a ppp connection. Maybe it will work with the ppp version of soql but that's not quite finished yet. I may be ready to do some testing next week. As there is no text based login I think it may be expecting chap or pap for user authentication. So as these won't be in the first ppp soql version it may still not work :-( The providers I've been using here work on a pay per call basis and thus require no particularly secure authentication and thus work without chap or pap. If your provider can't provide SLIP access I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the new soql version or try uqlx where you're able to use the underlying Linux TCP/IP stack. I don't no if QPC does anything similar.
