Hi Everybody,

As a matter of interest, all you ADSL users,
how do you manage avoiding a modem fry when there is a storm about, please ?

The safest way for a dialup
has been to disconnect from the phone line.

Anybody doing the same for ADSL, or have you another method ?

Very handy MacOS X tip!

[Peter Hinchliffe]

Here's a very nifty little trick, courtesy of MacOSXHints.

One important MacOS 9 (and earlier) trick missing from MacOS X is the 
ability to print the contents of a Finder window. It turns out that 
there is a way, but it's not by way of a menu command.

First, you must have Print Center showing in the Dock (I have it in my 
Dock as a standard feature). Print Center is in your 
/Applications/Utilities folder, so why not go there right now and drag 
its icon to the Dock...

Now open a folder, any folder, so you can see its contents. Click and 
hold briefly on the Proxy Icon in the Window's title bar (it's the 
little icon next to the title) and drag the icon onto Print Center. 
Print Center will now launch and deliver a nicely formatted list of the 
contents of your folder to your printer, or to a PDF file, according to 
your choice.

This has a few problems compared with the MacOS Classic way: first, 
there is no header information for the list, so the printed list gives 
you no indication of what folder you have just printed; second, it does 
not print the contents of sub-folders, which reduces its utility quite 
a bit; third, it does not print the icons associated with the files.

Despite these shortcomings, if you want a quick reference to the 
contents of the current folder for reading offline for any reason, this 
is at least a partial solution. If you want to print windows with more 
of the trimmings such as sub-folders, icons, list headers, etc, there 
is a freeware solution called Print Window (listed on VersionTracker) 
which is just as easy to use, but takes a little care. The sub-folder 
printing feature is recursive, and can result in a LOT of pages if your 
folder has more than a few nested folders (my Applications folder 
reached over 600 pages before I stopped it - with a forced quit).

Re: Price or recommendation wanted

You can probably buy a new modem cheap enough from Apple, it's just a credit 
card size card on the logic board. I looked into it a couple of years ago, and 
they were around the $100 mark from Apple.

Hi Brad

Check your insurance as some policies and insurance companies will 
cover the replacement modem for you. Otherwise you are looking about 
$175 for a Swann 56K USB modem (Retail about $199), drop me an email 
if you need more info.


Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel Kerr

I have been using a GCC Elite 12/1200 with 32 MB memory for 6 mos. It's 
connected to a G4 iMac (MacOS 10.21) by ethernet using LaserWriter 8, which 
required a free ROM upgrade. It's working fine, and I have no regrets in 
buying it. The service from GCC has been energetic and helpful, if not 
always efficient.

Re: unix shell chat? Re: LAN message/chat recommendation?

[Shay Telfer]

Not a direct reply (as it's just a osx thing) but doesn't Unix have
a chat program built in?
I recall wasting many hours at WAIT (ne: Curtin) & WACAE (ne:ECU)
computing labs using such a program on assorted Sun, Dec and IBM Unix
boxes.


There's talk (installed by default) and ytalk (which fink can install).

Have fun,
Shay

these years later I can't even remember the command actually 
despite 3 solid years of UNIX after 15 years of not using it all I 
can remember is kill, pwd & ls. Guess I'd probably have to say the 
same about COBOL.




Greg,


I'm after a SIMPLE LAN based chat software that will run on OS 9 & OS X, the
simpler the better. (G4 is an audio workstation & I would like the chat to
not interfere with the delicate extensions balance)


I've just written something that does this. It is similar to QuickConference
(CE software), but does not require a server. It works fine, but won't be
finished for a couple of weeks (I need to add preferences, and a couple of
things).

It shouldn't interfere with anything else that you are running. It does not
use extensions. The "chatting" is done via UDP.


Something that has a sound alert for messages would be tops!


This program can play a sound, and bring itself to the front when it
receives a message.

If you can wait, and are interested in playing around with it, let me know
off list. If not, then I can recommend QuickConference for local private
networks. We've used it at our office for a couple of years. You just type
your message and hit the enter key.

Ta,

Andrew

Re: GCC elite printers

[Gary Roberts]

The GCC range are fine printers but you may also want to consider the Xerox 
Phaser 5400 range. Up to 20 ppm in A3 and 40 ppm in A4. True Adobe PS3 too.
