BG> Got any more decent software, BTW ?  Seriously, I desperately need
BG> a copy of Word for Windows 2.0c (or similar), as my WFW 1.1a is so
BG> old, that it won't even INSTALL under Win95, let alone run.  :(

BG> Jeeze, I hope you didn't read that as an unsubtle hint, or similar!

Was I *supposed* to read it any other way ? It sure wasn't subtle :)

BV> Sorry 'bout that.
BG> No problems, my printer's been fucked for months now, and Jack will
BG> just have to make do with WFW 1.1a under Win311 for the time being,
BG> seeing as how it doesn't even want to know about Win95.

So I gather the urgent requirement has passed then.

BV> I haven't seen daylight since we last spoke and you decided that it was
BV> not worth the drive down.
BG> It's not that it wasn't worth the drive, ...[ chomp ]...

'salright. That's why I didn't drive up on Sunday or Monday night.

BG> These new mode 4 WD 1.6Gb drives are rather nice though.
BG> Christ, they fly!

So do the Seagate 4.2 Gb Fast-Wide SCSI Barracuda-4's.

BV> I'll try to get an off-site backup to you by the end of the week.
BG> There's no need to bust a gut,

okay then. I won't.

BG> as I can't use it until my printer is fixed (or replaced, whichever
BG> is cheaper), and I wouldn't trust Jack to install it himself, and I
BG> won't be back down there until next May or June.

Fair enough. I should be able to get it done by May-June. No probs.

BV> Alternatively, it's only 8 disks.
BV> It'd only take about 40 minutes to send at V.34.
BG> Since when have you been running V.34 ?

Since I decided to be a Yuppie like David Begley and bought a
SoundBlaster AWE32 PnP. It insised on being installed at IRQ-5 which
created a problem as my Sportshoe was happily living there and was
evicted by the PnP manager. I saw all the fun that you guys were
having with V.34 so I decided to join in. I got a good deal on a
Banksia V.34 so I bought one. Plugged it into my COM2: typed ATZ and
away it went. I'm not having any problems at all, I was ripped off.


BG> I might just send you down a box of 3.5" diskettes for you to
BG> copy at your leisure, and save all the screwing around with modems.

No need.

BG> I've had a gutful of Paul's M34F lately, and couldn't handle any
BG> more problems.

That's why I got a Banksia :)

Seriously though. I've supplied about a dozen of their MyInModem 14k4/fax
doo-hickeys coz they are bloody cheap and support Class-2 fax. I've used
them to setup Fax Servers for NT and for a couple of custom apps I
have written which required the system to automatically generate and
fax a letter. They have worked great and I figured that no matter
what, I could always move it as the next Fax gateway if required.
So far it has worked fine but there are a couple of things that I'm
not sure about. I've poured over the manual but I can't find a way
to get it to lock the host line I/F speed or stop it from emitting
CNG tones on a data call. Banksia ship a manual that is anything but
technical and even after hunting down their "technical" manual, I
still couldn't see how to do either of the above. It hasn't caused
me any problem yet, but I'd still like to know that the I/F params
were locked and that it wasn't sending CNG tones. I might get around
to calling them in a week or two.
