Dead on.  Mime is two logically separate components, one is MIME encoding,
taking binary or unicode data and encoding it to ASCII.  The other is the
Multipart encapsulation of data.  (Yes, it is possible to use one without
the other.)

There are some other tidbits and extensions, but that's the heart of it.

No idea if this is what you want... but, what about a VNC viewer?
There's on available for the Agenda VR3 PDA (although I'm not sure what
state it's in), and I'd be surprised if there weren't one for iPAQs running
Linux.  And with the new Sharp Zaurus being so close to iPAQs, hardware-wise,
lots of iPAQ stuff has-been/is-being ported.

RE: [vox-tech] off subjec: PDA showing a copy of Windows screen o n aPDA screen

2001-12-10 Thread Nick Donnelly

Is this a project that you want to put a lot of time into?  If you go 
down the wine path, I imagine you will have to then configure an 
x-server on a linux based PDA.  While this would be pretty cool and 
might enjoy a slick wireless LAN connection to the box running the 
app, you might not enjoy the setup process involved.  Or the setup 
process might take too much time to be worthwhile.

I don't know if Back Orifice provides remote windowing capability, 
but you might look into that.  Also, Win XP is supposed to have a lot 
of new remote admin features.  I'm not a Windows expert though...

Good luck with this project--it sounds like it'd be really cool if 
you could figure something out.

Security is defined by policy.  The mechanism tries to enforce the
policy.  Chant this mantra until you achieve security.

Sounds like the mechanism here is tcpwrappers.

This sounds like a security policy to me.

> would a tcpwrapped pserver be fairly secure?

Sounds like you are just looking to raise the effort bar on this one
port.  As long as the port is really tcpwrapped you raise the bar.
Address based authentication is weak, but it appears as though you are
concerned with keeping your effort/effect ratio low.

Monitor your server.  Keep good backups away from the machine.  Wash
behind your ears.

Re: [vox-tech] what is mime?

2001-12-10 Thread Ricardo Anguiano


Not my own words, but from the gnus info files (gnus)Using MIME:

Mime is a standard for waving your hands through the air, aimlessly,
while people stand around yawning.

MIME, however, is a standard for encoding your articles, aimlessly,
while all newsreaders die of fear.

MIME may specify what character set the article uses, the encoding
of the characters, and it also makes it possible to embed pictures and
other naughty stuff in innocent-looking articles.

I think the purpose of MIME is to give e-mail system the ability to
transfer messages with the format other than US-ASCII. With MIME,
you can transfer binary file through e-mail by encoding and decoding
the messages before and after transfer happens.

[vox-tech] what is mime?

2001-12-10 Thread Peter Jay Salzman

i think mime provides a logical division of an email based on content -- like
an attachment or a gpg signature, and this allows mail clients to deal with
the material in an appropriate manner.

if this isn't correct, can someone provide a better, simple explanation in
their own words?

thanks,
pete
