Ahh... now I understand your question. Sorry for being so dense. ;-) The quality of a telnet connection is determined by the ever changing conditions on the internet. When I used to use telnet a lot I contended with a lot of broken connections and delayed response. Since the local commands must be sent to the remote server for processing in real time over the telnet connection and the remote server's screen must also continuously be echoed back to the local screen over that telnet connection, significant delays in the transport of packets or dropped connections can make it rather difficult and trying to work with. With a direct terminal connection over ordinary phone lines to a UNIX shell, there are virtually no connection delays to contend with. That way I can experience the delays due to the UNIX server's inevitably heavy load, in real time. ;-) Cheers!

My account with netINS began in 1994 when they first offered local dialup (with a VMS shell) in my hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Shortly after that, they replaced the VMS with Unix. A year or two later they discontinued the local dialup. I chose to maintain my account with a $5/month telnet account. (mainly for continuity in my e-mail address/online identity) I've used this means of access now for four or five years, the last three from Indiana. There are times when the delays are bad, but probably 98 or 99% of the time there is no perceptible lag. (I use a Megahertz 14.4 PCMCIA modem.) My understanding is that netINS is pretty well connected to the internet, so delays are usually due to heavy server load, or internet congestion local to me. The server load is usually not a problem, as they have done a pretty good job of expanding capacity with growth. At any rate, for $5/month it might be worth trying it for a bit. The person I've dealt with for most of my account issues is Wendy Battles , she is very nice. You could also call 800-546-6587 (800-5HOOKUP) or e-mail info@netINS.net.

I have used XFS successfully (in a DOS box) under WinNT 4.0, Win98 and Win95. I would have to say that the version on SUPER is substantially faster than 6KB/sec., but I haven't really timed it.

Mr. Crimm, As a user of the HPLX Palmtop since approximately 1993, I would like to clarify several misconceptions that you appear to have concerning the HP200lx Palmtop and implore your company to reconsider your decision not to support this platform. I will be addressing the underlined (highlighted in red) text from the replies to Domingo Diaz-Vazquez noted below. 1) The HP200lx is NOT a closed platform or a phone platform!!! Your response corrects the Phone portion but further misstates the closed platform issue. 2) The HP200lx is a DOS 5.0 based 80186 palmtop COMPUTER with hard serial port and serial IR ports built in. It does not use Windows CE in any form. Using IR.EXE by Andreas Garzotto I can communicate (slightly) with Palm Pilot. I believe that most if not all HPlx users (and that numbers in at least the 10's of thousands around the world) would like to have the capability to transfer files between the 200lx and other popular platforms. 3) "I am well aware of the HP200LX" This does not appear to be the case. In conclusion, I would urge you to at least entertain the possibility of supporting the 200lx as the customer base on this platform is very well established as well as extremely knowledgeable on both the hardware and software available for the 200lx. May I also refer you to Hal Goldstein of Thaddeus Computing,Inc., hal@thaddeus.com,515-472-6330 and Avi Meshar of D&A Software at info@dasoft.com, 310-388-5400 for more information on the 200lx and the customer base it provides. respectfully Joe Buford Hughes Space and Communications joseph.buford@hsc.com 310-416-9319 ---------------Copied Messages below-------------------------------------- ********** Domingo, Thanks for your interest in SyncTalk.

The last post I saw from you (I am on digest so I would not have seen any posted today) indicated that you had given up. I felt (and still feel) that this function would be very useful to all of us and possibly prolong the life of the 200lx. Several people have posted that they are turning away from the 200lx in favor of the Palm Pilot specifically relating to the ability of Palm's to trade data. I believe that there is enough talent on the HPLX-L list to enable us do anything that we set our minds to, both from a software and a hardware perspective. There appeared to be enough of an opening in the response from Ryan Walcott for me to be hopeful that IR communication between the 200lx and other platforms is doable if enough of us want it. And I for one am willing to pay for that capability.

Works (supposedly) for both omnibooks (300 - 530?) and HP100/200 LX. Comes with AC adapter, tho that's not needed in most cases. Attaches to the printer's parallel port. Box and manual included. 2. $20 Omnibook Fax/Modem Communications Pack (HP F1040A). 2400 baud modem, cable and ROM card with software (MS Mail 3.2, WinFax LITE, DynaComm 3.1). Box but no manuals. I got this from an HP dealer and never had to use it since each of my omnibooks already came equipped with the modem. 3. $35 3Com Fast EtherLink XL CardBus PC Card (3C575-TX), 32-bit 10/100base-TX. Includes card, dongle and install disk. Definitely won't work on the LX, and I've never tried it on the omnibooks (since I normally use a modem/NIC combo already). 4. $15 Western Digital Caviar 40mb PCMCIA Type III drive (for Omnibook). 5. $15 Canon 8mb CF card. Works in my single speed LX and Omnibooks, but not in my double-speed 200LX (go figure).

The other directories were O.K. The config.sys file on the C: drive was trashed. My topcard PCX file, which is in the root directory, was trashed. I had a very hard time rebooting, either with CTRL-ALT-DEL or with CTRL-LEFT SHIFT-ON. It would often lock up and give me a divide overflow error, or show garbage on the screen. This was probably because of the trashed config.sys file, which showed as pure garbage when I tried to TYPE it (type config.sys). This happened when I was trying to XCOPY everything to my 10MB SunDisk card (early model SanDisk), which has never given me any problems before, being 100% compatible with the 4MB SanDisk I keep in the machine at all times. I was running on Kodak 1600mAH batteries which were showing 84% with the CHARGING software (bat.com). I replaced them with fully charged Renewals. No good. The backup battery was showing 98% with CHARGING and OK under System Manager, but I got the machine used and never replaced it, so I replaced it anyway. I used LapLink to copy all the important stuff to my desktop hard drive. I also checked both memory cards from the desktop with LapLink and they were fine. I cleared off the C: drive and XCOPIED everything from my 4MB card, which had been backed up to most recently. Then everything worked fine. I put the Kodaks back in. I backed up to the 10MB card like I was planning to do, using XCOPY. So I'm back in business, but I'd like to know why and avoid having this happen again. The 200LX is a single speed 2MB model which was upgraded to 5MB internally, not counting the 4MB card I normally keep in it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My money would be on the xcopy to the old card causing the problem, possibly in conjunction with the usual high power required for writes ... maybe more so for an older card with possibly marginal sectors forcing retries (but which test OK). Or it could just be fate reminding you who's boss . I would monitor your power usage on both cards and see if the older card is maybe drastically different. Run some benchmarks, it may save you from future headaches. Also, beware that drastic crashes like these might affect (or have affected) that persistent area of memory in the LX. I think some people experience odd power problems afterwards (batteries running low too fast), and usually correct by draining the system (all batts out for overnight or batts out and press/hold On key for 1/2 min). - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 23:14:26 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Reed Kennedy Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Reed Kennedy Subject: Re: Wouldn't it be cool if... Comments: To: Bruce_Martin@MANULIFE.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It was a rudimentary temerature sensor, and was located in the battery compartment. The original pourpose was to adjust the contrast of the newton according to the ambiant temperature. If you've ever looked at your HPLX after leaving it in a cold car overnight (cold = sub freezing) or after leaving it on the dash or somewhere in the sun, you'll observe that this does indeed affect the screen contrast. Unfortunatly, view angle, battery level, and lighting also affect contrast so on all models after the 100 (110,120,130,2000,2100) the temp sensor was replaced with a much more functional and much more boring contrast knob (or was it a software slider? It's been to long since I owned a 120). Even on the old ones, it wasn't very good for either contrast or temperature reading functions, as it tended to report the temperature of the generally warm battery compartment inside your generally warm pocket (if you could fit the newton there, that is!), a problem similar to modern temperature watchs which in fact read a combination of the temperature around you and that of your arm. It was cool, none the less. Argueably, the fact that it included a temperature sensor was a fairly good metaphore for the newton, and why it failed. Very cool, but unuseable, and over-featured. My .02 plus inflation.

The screen contrast is only set using a software slider.

Our core technology team is very aware of the HP200LX and in the past did consider porting the software to the platform. Our constraint was that we did not have enough developers to cover the 200LX and the other operating systems we currently cover. We respect the 200LX user community and will again take a look at how we can support it. Another technical hurdle we face is that our code is optimized for C++ environments and 32bit operating systems. We must consider all of these issues. I know you aren't concerned with excuses, but I wanted to articulate for you our real issues and constraints.

That would be the most likely device to set the contrast level to ambient temp. No point in semantic arguments about the meaning of "sensor". 8-) Back to the original point - even if a temp sensor (of any type) could be mounted in the battery compartment and connected to the A-D convertor, it wouldn't be much use since the batteries barely get warm during charge. The heat is all generated by the power supply/charging circuit. Battery temp monitoring is vital for high-speed chargers, but not in something like the LX.

Only this time, when the batteries are out, drain the system by pressing and holding the "On" key for about a minute. Then replace the batteries (I think the AAs are supposed to go in first?). Sometimes, things corrupt in the LX's persistent memory area (XBRAM?) and affects the power system ... draining everything resets that area and may solve the problem. Of course, make sure the LX data is backed up before you do this as the operation wipes out all memory. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 12:35:26 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Striegel, Alan" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Striegel, Alan" Subject: Re: getting low battery alarm,won't power up Comments: To: CM Evans MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Do you have a card in the PCMCIA slot?

The first 525 units arrived in Chicago on Monday. We are still waiting for them to clear customs -- something that should take a day or 2, but sometimes can stretch out. Wayne from our company is flying to Holland tomorrow. He will monitor their testing procedures and verify that another 3000 in good shape will be sent Aug 11. Every palmtop is being checked from their side via the self-test and physical examination. HP is repairing all bad ones. We have been told the units being sent are in very good condition. Pre-orders will be shipped first as soon as we get them, test them, and clean/tighten them up. Then, first come first served. I believe most of the first 525 are sold. These units are the same as US units but have additional European symbols on the keyboard. They have a white Dutch logo on front, the white can be removed with nail polish remover. Bottom line is that we expect to have 200LX's in stock for at least a year and they should be in good shape. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 13:08:42 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Hal Goldstein Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hal Goldstein Subject: Palmtop Paper Moving to Web MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" We are moving The HP Palmtop Paper to www.palmtoppaper.com. Yesterday, we mailed out our last print version of the nine year publication! Anyone who is owed issues will receive a coupon for our Palmtop Store worth more than the refund for the unused portion of their subscription. (Anyone who prefers can request payment for the unused portion of their sub). Ed Keefe in the next month will actively begin to put new articles and tips on the web. As you can see from our other announcement, we plan to support the HP200LX from a long time to come. 4000 palmtops is a lot of palmtops to sell and we continue to find new products to market for the HP 200LX. If by chance you are not receiving our 200LX catalog -- we sent the latest one out 2 weeks ago, please email me and I'll make sure you get one. Everything in the catalog can be found (and purchased from) www.palmtoppaper.com. Thanks for everyone's support these years.

We spoke of creating an HP 200LX end to your product. You may recall that I mentioned that we could market the product and that Mack Baggette would likely be willing to help on the HP 200LX end of the code. Mack has written a number of software drivers for the HP 200LX for products we sell at www.palmtoppaper.com. Your email below was posted on the HPLX-L mail list and there seems a reasonable interest. In truth the potential sales won't be worth a significant investment of time from your staff. However, with Mack's help, if you provide him with specs, it may not involve much time from your end. Mack is incredibly knowledgeable. The result will be additional publicity for your product, and additional sales. I have copied both Mack and the HPLX Mailing list. If you wish to pursue, please correspond with Mack and copy me. Thanks much.

Our core technology team is very aware of the HP200LX and in the past did consider porting the software to the platform. Our constraint was that we did not have enough developers to cover the 200LX and the other operating systems we currently cover. We respect the 200LX user community and will again take a look at how we can support it. Another technical hurdle we face is that our code is optimized for C++ environments and 32bit operating systems. We must consider all of these issues. I know you aren't concerned with excuses, but I wanted to articulate for you our real issues and constraints. I spoke with Hal Goldstein at the PocketPC launch in New York about outsourcing the port of SyncTalk. This is another avenue we will continue to explore.

For about the last month I've had a similar problem viewing anything on the net using www/lx (it just gives a blank page) but can still view files on my palmtop. I'm sure there was some mention of this a few months ago but I can't track it down now (I was just about to post a message about it). I think the gist of it was that the user agent name that HV uses may not be recognised as valid by the proxy server. I was reading through the documentation for the lynx web browser and it mentioned how the user agent name can be changed in lynx if it is not recognised or rejected. With my ISP I can still use netscape but not lynx or HV. I haven't tried changing the user agent name for lynx yet. Paul Johnson.

On the Dutch palmtops, I hope you can get even the damaged ones, as spares. I'm even willing to forgo the balance of my PTP print subscription as a gesture of support, as long as my PTP disk subscription continues (even here, I'd be happy to get the software online, rather than on disk, if that saves PTP/Thaddeus money that you use to continue your great support for our palmtops).

I'm no good electronically (compared to others on this list), so I'm hoping either I can "outsource" this or have someone help me lay the plan out to do it myself easily with "Radio Shack" parts. The project is this: Two small boxes, connected by a 3' wire. One box (or not box if none is necessary) has 1-2 bright (possibly blue) LED, the other box has a switch, batteries and circuit. Led is always lit (until batteries die) When switch is in one position, led should be blinking, when in the other position, led should simply be lit (not blink). Constraints: lifetime should be at least 48 hours, if possible light sensor could turn off circuit during the day, must be waterproof and relatively tamperproof (except with screwdriver), should be around 10$ per unit (if possible). I'm looking for about 10 of these units. Anyone could help? I'm guessing the tough part is the blinking... Please reply privately! Thanks!

I was hit with envy at once. I rolled on scene to pickup a client, methadone plus rxs, and the callers (two uniformed "Downtown Clean & Safe" officers) said we needed to wait for Portland police officer Perry to do the exclude (drug free zone exclusion process). When he arrived he had a Visor with an "Eyemodule" (A digital camera addon for the visor). Two minutes and he had good clear photos that not only can be used at once bt can be placed into the ID program for every officer with only a simple transfer. Wonderful. I was hit with total envy. So I now find myself what other HPLXers are using. What cameras what software, etc. Patrick West __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

While on regular PM, I found another tech working on one of his company's transmitters (paging), he was using his Visor camera to snap pictures of the waveforms displayed on his communications test set. After a brief "show me yours, I'll show you mine" (I have a 200LX and a TRG Pro), he proceeded to use a modem to send the images back to his boss. I'm not too impressed, I would have directly attached my 200lx or my TRG Pro to his test set and captured the print-file output of the same screen using Datacom or pTelnet (on the TRG Pro). Someone back at the office could then import the HP printer formatted image into a graphics program for examination and printing... or simply copied the file to an HP printer. What I was impressed with was how quickly the nature of his Visor could change from a PIM / data-entry device to a camera and back. I know there is a camera for the Palm handhelds (better resolution, but slower) but I wish there was a camera for my 200lx. I won the day however, when I showed him how to use his Visor to connect directly to his transmitter and monitor the statistics without using a big 'ol clunky laptop. The Visor is "ok" but if you are considering a "Palm" type device to supplement your 200lx, consider that the TRG Pro can use Compact Flash and so can your 200lx. The TRG Pro "speaks" FAT 16, but can't run DOS programs.

This was probably > because of the trashed config.sys file, which showed as pure > garbage when I tried to TYPE it (type config.sys). You asked for some thoughts on the issue. I believe the difficulty in rebooting was PRECISELY the bad CONFIG.SYS and possibly the AUTOEXEC.BAT. And moreoever, it is likely that if you have a double speed machine with extra memory, the drivers were royally trashed! The way to recover from such a disaster is to press the boot keys (cold or warm) then immediately press the Alt key. That brings you a menu of 7 possibilities which detail where to find the boot files (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT) Remember, you have on ROM in D drive an unalterable copy of both. These will at least get you up and going, and you can then modify the CONFIG.SYS and add the drivers (after restoring them from a good copy) to the CONFIG.SYS and reboot. The ALT key menu provides for booting from A: drive, D: or C:, and for each source, whether to process the CONFIG.SYS and autoexec.bat or not. One thing you can create is a "Rescue PCMCIA". On its root directory put a good CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and whatever drivers you need. Then you reboot, press Alt, then select A: as the boot drive, and process the boot files, and that puts you back in business too. Now you can deal with the mess on the C: drive etc. In the past few weeks I have had several "meltdowns" and several friends did too. I walked them through the process enough times to become an expert. Then it happened to me, too, and I talked myself through it and was up in 5 minutes, although restoration of programs and other content took much more time, of course. BTW, the "rescue disk" is really not good to use for anything else, because if you just reboot normally, the palmtop's default sequence is to look for boot files on A: then C:, then D:. Wherever they are found, they are processed. Some people got wise to that and moved the boot files to a subdirectory on that rescue disk, but that meant they could not use it as a boot drive anymore, and when away from a PCMCIA drive, you cannot move the file back to the root of the rescue disk. Sense that Catch-22? ... If you can get a hold of cheap 1 or 2 MB ATA card, it is ideal - just put the absolute necessary stuff there and carry the rescue card with you... Anyway, just my $0.02... Hope this helps... Good luck on recovery.

I was hit with total envy. So I now find myself >what other HPLXers are using. >What cameras what software, etc. No doubt that one of the things that GUI computers will always do well is imaging. The last I heard, the Visor camera was only B/W, while the Palm version is color. Both probably pale next to most low end digital cameras, including my Canon A50 whose CF based files are easily read by the LX and emailed to hapless relatives and friends via old NetTamer 1.08pt. Having been a big pen computer user before the 200LX (PenExec and Zoomer), I've no doubt that there's a Visor or Pilot type computer in my future, but not for the photo thing... a real camera just does that so mych better. Even the tiny (but sharp) digital display on a camera surpasses the mono screen on the LX (and probably the Visor). And most digicams allow you to share your photos with others via a cable to a TV set, which I'm not sure if the Visor can do (bravo if it can). Quick and easy photos of marginal quality will always have their uses, and I like the comcept of a device that records data, images and sound (many high end digicams can do motion with sound as well as photos, so it's not like it's far away). The Visor/Pilot thing sounds neat, but I think I'd ask more of a camera than images that are clear on my palmtop but possibly an embarassment to share (unless you like an album of mug shots and crime photos). Wow is nice, but once you get past the sauce, sometimes you grumble when you wonder where's the beef? - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2000 00:57:43 -0700 Reply-To: francis_patrick_west@yahoo.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "francis_patrick_west@yahoo.com" Subject: Re: Handspring Visor Envy Comments: To: lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Longden Loo wrote: > my Canon A50 whose CF based files are easily read by the LX and emailed > to hapless relatives and friends via old NetTamer 1.08pt.

I paid $199 for it at Office Max last month when they were clearing them out (on a tip from a list member). Most places that have them are selling them at about $300, but there's a lot of pressure to drop prices (esp on discontinued cameras) as newer models enter the scene. Most digicams depreciate in value significantly about 6 months after their introduction, but you'll probably not see the same kind of reduction for the Visor and Palm cameras since they're specialty items and have no real competition (except from each other). Rather than pay for an expensive add-on, I guess I prefer to settle for a cheaper (but more capable) peripheral. A different strokes thing. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2000 07:41:59 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , SalMcK@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al McKinney Subject: New version of XT-CE coming soon.

An 8 meg. Visor, *duct-taped* to my 200LX and a Nikon CoolPix 950 -- I want to upgrade to the CoolPix 990, as it allows TOTALLY manual selection of both aperture and shutter İat least that's what I've read (rather than shutter or aperture priority, on so many cameras)¨, that digital Elph looks good too. I may hold out 'til Canon releases their new, professional digital camera body and team that up w/ my "too expensive lens collection" (that does NOTHING good for your back or shoulder!). I still shoot a lot of still -- the digital cameras have their uses and I can get 8x10 prints that you'd swear came from a film-based camera ..... but..... OK, I really don't use duct tape, but all my important stuff is on my computer or my LX, as the visor is only a good PIM and Calendar .... well, I do download news and books w/ the Visor now; but for portable email, data entry, spreadsheets, etc., the LX's can't be beat. I *tried* one of those "cool" PalmOS-based spreadsheets, w/ the Visor, trying to start a film-price comparison sheet İSam's often does rebates, but w/ oddly packed boxes, i.e., 4 rolls of 24 and one w/ 36 shots on it ... other stores offer good prices on a box with ALL one number of shots, i.e., all rolls of 24 exp.¨. The "spreadsheet" left me so frustrated, I almost sent my Visor into orbit. It couldn't do simple things that we take for granted w/ Lotus, like "move" etc. Can't remember which spreadsheet it was ... admittedly it wasn't a commercial product - I think it was demo-ware and I may have gotten more functionality, if I ponyed up some cash ... but I wanted it to work, right out of the box .... Hmmm..... sounds like an LX ;-) The camera for the Palm Pilot's got higher res. (only goes to 640x480, I believe) and I think both cameras can do color; but I'm not going to buy one. A ("real") digital camera w/ a CF card gives me plenty of what I need (and relies on sep. batteries ... I don't know if the Visor-cam draws from its own or the LX's power supply). As a cool LX aside: The 200LX "saved me" on my one "real" trip to Mexico. I was "trip historian" (well, OK, I volunteered ... someone had to set up the slide show ... might as well be digital) for my Rotary club on a liaison visit. I ran out of "digital film" (CF cards were full); so I dumped as much as I could on my Thaddeus-expanded LX and transferred photo files to it! Survived the day and was able to make it to the hotel and move ALL the files to my laptop; so I could be "loaded for bear" the next day.

Good MS humor Philippe; For RED, GREEN or YELLOW LED's, sounds like a job for an LM3909 and a "D" cell; An SPDT switch in the "-" line to push power to pins 1 & 8 through a small resistor, or to pin 4 (depending on position of the switch). For BLUE LED's, sounds like a job for a PIC microcontroller and 3-4 AAA's, or an LM555 and say a 9V cell; An SPST switch in the "+" line to push power to the LED directly would do with the 555, with the PIC I'd use a diode gating method here. National.com has data sheets for those, microchip.com for PIC (I'd use 12C508A's) datasheets. Radio Shack has all the parts, though Mouser.com or bgmicro.com would be cheaper. Either option's pretty cheap, though I don't know about a "$10 each" budget, those LED's are $3ish apiece and the cases aren't often free; At 10 cy's you DO get a price break usually, though! I can either tell you exactly how to make these, or make them at cost (If you're not in a huge hurry ) Cast the LEDs in 5-minute epoxy so no box is needed for those. Might be able to just brush same epoxy over your other circuit, also, once it's tested and known to be working well! Mark -- Hate spam?

Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fernando Ruiz" To: Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 4:18 AM Subject: WNT40: Set up direct serial PPP connection Hello to all, Three days ago I started to try to connect my 200lx palmtop to my desktop PC via PPP direct serial connection. My objective if try to access some resources of the network (for instance, telneting to other systems). First of all, I'm more interesting to know if someone of has set it up. The setup of my epppd/pppd at Palmtop works fine because in other situations I can connect to some ISP here at Spain. The problem I think that it's on my desktop WNT4.0. In this, I set it up the "Dial-Up Networking Serial Cable between 2PC=B4s" (Standard Modems) at COM1 and configure "Remote Access Services" as Network: Dial-Out protocols - TCP/IP Allow Remote Clients running - TCP/IP (Set up a range of IP's) Allow any authentication including clear text. After this I run: pppd/epppd com1 9600 local with right tcp.cfg (IP address to reach PPP connection, ...) NO LUCK !!! Do you have some experience with this? ... Thanks and best reg's from Barcelona.

I'll try that when I've a chance to backup my camera's CF card. The nice thing is that I should be able to overlay the essential boot stuff for the LX on top of the existing file system (ie, I don't have to reformat) since the boot strap loader is already on LX ROM. None of the boot files for the LX normally found on the card need be in any special physical location. I'm usually pretty careful about checking out the configuration.

So far it hasn't caused any problems with the camera. Just make sure you don't do what I did and not thoroughly check that the paths in config.sys and autoexec.bat on your CF rescue card all point to locations ON the CF rescue card (don't just copy your files over to the CF). When my doublespeed 64MB 200LX crashed I rebooted with the 8MB card expecting that to get it functioning properly. But it still had the scrambled screen ! So after a bit of reading the instructions I realised my mistake and managed to get it going properly again. But it took alot longer than if I had done things properly the first time. Paul Johnson.

When I saw garbage characters I started the mochappp program. I'm gonna ask the authors if they could put a 'modem' emulation feature in the program. Maybe I can write my own program to do this... hmmmm... I could probably write something in qbasic. >-----Original Message----- >From: Blah...Just Blah..

Any (easy) way to convert that to "Format" (in the first line, with the field names) and "DVD" in the record? I imagine some sort of script, even in BASIC, could count fields in the CSV file and do some sort of "if ... then" deal, but I'm not sure what the best/simplest/fastest answer is.

Some time ago you contacted us in connection with the Stanford Matchbox PC, now the TIQIT MPC. At five cubic inches and three ounces the MPC is the world's smallest PC capable of running desktop operating systems such as Linux and Microsoft Windows. The following is the long-overdue announcement we have been promising interested parties concerning commercial availability of the MPC. In the time since we built our first prototype in 1999 we have received over 700 such inquiries. The TIQIT MPC is now available for immediate shipment. Units may be ordered by credit card at TIQIT's website, http://www.tiqit.com, by email, or by phone. Price per unit is $1,495. For credit card website orders click on SALES or ORDER in the navigator window on the left of our home page. We accept Visa, Mastercharge, Diners, JCB, and Carte Blanche. For phone orders call TIQIT at 650-289-9009. Email orders should be sent to sales@tiqit.com. The MPC ships with a ready-to-run 250 MB subset of RedHat 6.2 Linux installed on the MPC's 340 MB hard drive. Additional software may be installed by the user via ethernet or by inserting the Microdrive in a laptop with the help of the included PCMCIA adaptor. In addition a self-contained 12 MB subset of Linux is installed on the 16 MB internal flash. Specifications for the MPC may be found by clicking on Specifications. In addition there are links for manuals, drivers, utilities, and connector pinouts. The MPC finds application in situations calling for light weight, minimal volume, and widely available software. The following is a representative list, for more details click on Applications. * Data logging on vehicles where weight is at a premium such as satellites, robot planes, and meteorological balloons. * As a wearable computer in conjunction with a headmounted display and a compact keyboard such as the Handykey Twiddler. * As a lightweight transportable computer carried between two or more locations such as home and work, with a separate port expander at each location permanently connected to a monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, floppy, and network connection. In this last application, the single-connector docking arrangement makes it possible, when leaving for another location, to power down, unplug the MPC in one motion, transport it in a pocket, handbag, or briefcase to the other site, reconnect and reboot. This use of the MPC's single VHDCI connector avoids the hassle of disconnecting six separate cables one by one and then reconnecting them all at the other end. As an added security benefit it further allows you to keep your data near you at all times, I would be very interested to hear your own ideas for applications of the MPC, both in general and in your area of expertise.

At first I suspected the Pair of 1600mAh AA NiMHs but it wasn' their fault. The problem persited with a brand new pair of Alkaline AAs. So I tried the trick to remove the batteries for a couple of days but without success. I measured the current my 5MB 200LX 2xSpeed sucked: the lowest was 160mA, The highest about 250mA. I did some tests with and without my old 12Volt 14MB SunDisk PCMCIA and with a more recent 96MB and 10MB CompactFlash . More or less with the same results. Then I rebooted the 200LX without any card and - voila - 30mA in Filemanager... Then I re-inserted the 14Meg card and the current went up to 130mA ... and after 5 seconds ... dropped again to 30mA. I figured out that in my case it was SPEED31.EXE in conjuction with any flashcard. Without this 2xSpeed driver loaded the machine works as new. Now the System loads SPEED31S.SYS instead and it works fine. Any comments?

There's a direct way to do what you want, but it doesn't involve GDBDUMP. You can create a SmartClip in the database application which has this format: ">Title<",">DVD<>VHS<>CD<>Other<" The greater-than and less-than symbols mean the field markers when you do a SmartClip definition. Just put all the options next to each other, with no spaces in-between. Then you do a print, and choose a custom type with the SmartClip format that you've created. This will create a file like this: "Toy Story","VHS" "Bridge on the River Kwai","DVD" "Doc Watson","CD" "Uncle Dave Macon","Other" This won't let you modify it in another program and import it back into the LX (with GDBLOAD), but I gather that you don't want that anyway. The only other caveat I can think of is that a field containing a quote won't be interpreted correctly by CSV-reading programs, so if you have any you'd have to precede the embedded quote with a backslash. -- Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2000 07:41:30 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Nathalie Bugeaud Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nathalie Bugeaud Subject: Hewlett and Packard MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Messrs.

People keep telling me I should work different than I work; Well... (a) Doncha just hate it when the screen swaps to a PDA alarm when you're deep in the middle of coding? (Have someone stick a strobe in your face, once or twice a day, when you're in the middle of thinking deeply, for a week or too; I'll suggest someone *VERY* expendable. I find this completely blows my concentration, don't need that!) (b1) Dontcha just hate it when your PDA beeps at you and you grab your Dos box by mistake? (b2) Dontcha just hate it when you have this really nice coding idea and you grab your PDA machine and it's NOT your Dos machine? Either wastes time. (c) Dontcha just hate missing appointments? (I need a PDA.) (d) Dontcha just hate it when you run an application on your coding machine, after backing up all your source code, and it kills all your PDA data? Sucks. Imagine someone mixing your metric and "Imperial" toolboxes thoroughly, and erasing the size calibration markings - it'd be pretty annoying; Similarly, I use the two machines for completely different purposes, and they're not interchangable; I need the PDA alarms to not waste my time, and to still happen (I get to them 2-3 minutes later once I've finished typing the idea I'm working on.) I want the two machines to be *easily* visually distinguishable, and I need the Dos machine to be 2x speed and to have 32Mb or more RAM; PDA machine could have 1Mb and would work, but, I upped mine to 8Mb RAM already. Could get a 100LX case with screen and put a 200LX momboard in there, possibly, if someone has one with a DOA momboard (IIRC the screens are identical, BUT, I haven't checked that yet.) It's either a 1000CX or re-paint the cover of a 200LX, and I'd feel like that was vandalism (And, of course, problems here ate 3 hours, right over the top of that 2nd 1000cx auction - $234 isn't bad for one.)

If what you say is that you get an empty HV_temp page than it might be that your ISP's setup no longer supports browsing with HV. Two of my three ISP's do that. Try if you get the same result when attempting to connect to a different URL.

The numbers are not for bank accounts but for phone dialing accounts, so I think the risk is tolerable. Still, I've been considering leaving the PINs out of the file and having my batch file prompt for them to be entered if needed. Making the file hidden is some protection, but obviously not a great deal. Ted -- Theodore W.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi everyone, Not a question you hear everyday, but would anyone be interested in "adopting" the site at http://games.hplx.net ? Although I would love to carry on updating it, I'm finding that I just don't have the time to devote proper attention to it. Another factor is that currently I am, I have to admit, a defector to the Pocket PC! (If anyone has any questions about the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC, feel free to ask. Probably best to mark as fluff, or just mail me). If nobody takes up the offer, I will of course leave the site up on my webspace as a static reference - there's no chance of it disappearing overnight! To me, however, it seems a shame to leave a site essentially "dead", which is why I'm hoping that someone will step in. Of course, any potential new owners are more than welcome to chop and change as much as they like. No need to keep the same style (the "delightful" colour scheme, the fact that it looks awful outside of IE!), the content is (hopefully!) what's useful. Perhaps there might even be some way of incorporating it into SUPER...?

Depending on your needs, you can probably write a function of some sort that will simulate a date display of yyyy-mm-dd, but this would not be the same (ie, date arithmetic would not work). Another kludgy fix using multiple cells: A B C D E F 1 @date(99,6,15) @year(a1)+1900 '- @month(a1) '- @day(a1) Cell a1 displays "06/15/99" (but can be hidden) and cells b1-f1 can be resized as needed to show 1999-6-15.

That's pretty darn weird :-) Does POST/LX work with these ISP's? If so, how does the ISP know that you are using a mail client vs. a browser?

You can redirect commands to EDLIN by thinking ahead what commands you would issue manually, the put those commands/keystrokes in a file like MYEDLIN.CMD then calling EDLIN from a BAT file telling it to get its command from your file like this: EDLIN file.txt < MYEDLIN.CMD This will cause Edlin to start editing 'file.txt' and take its input from MYEDLIN.CMD.

When you say the old line editor, do you mean edlin? I >have no idea how one would go about using that in a batch file. Yep. That's what I was referring to. I've seen batch files in the past that somehow used edlin to do specific editing functions to lines of another batch file, while on the fly. I never learned how to use edlin, so I've never done it, myself. It's been a long time since I've seen it, as well, but I do know that it's indeed possible. >Thanks for the ideas! Your welcome, Ted. I hope that you are actually able to make use of that information. The utility "Strings", as a list member had mentioned, does a good job of doing certain editing functions from within a batch file, too. Check that out and make sure that it can't do what you want with that utility before pursuing edlin. Hopefully you'll be able to use the methodology employed in the batch file I sent you to get the info you want into environment variables. I wrote a program many years ago that used the batch command "choice" and the above methodology to take keyboard input and put it into environment variables. That batch file actually added (very weak) password protection to another batch file. If I run across that batch file again, I'll send you a copy. That might also offer some batch file ideas for your project. Cheers!

Hi All, Just a quick question. While attempting to determine the best modem init string for my US Robotics Sportster 33.6 Data/Fax Internal modem for use with Nettamer, I came across what appears to be a contradiction in recommendations. A terminal program that I have called Lync sends a generic modem init string to all modems that includes "&S1", which tells the modem to control DSR (Data Set Ready) operations. Another communications program that I have sets a US Robotics Sportster v.34 modem to "AT&F1". In the Sportster modem manual, the modem command "&F1" to set all of the modem settings to the Hardware Flow Control Template defaults to "&S0", which sets DSR Override; always on. I seem to remember from my BBS sysop days that this was an important setting, but I can't remember which setting was best. Does anyone remember which "&S" setting is best to use when connected to an ISP? Thanks in advance. :-) Cheers!

There was an explanation from Avi not so long ago I think. If I remember well these ISP's keep webpages cached on their server. If a "wrong/unknown" browser points to webpages they get only empty webpages from the cache. POST/LX works fine however as it uses WWW/LX only to connect to the SMTP and POP3 server. My main ISP is compuserve which as of today does not have this empty web page issue. If CSi has glitches I dial in through one of my other ISP's to collect my mail. No problem. But I can't browse with HV with these two ISP's.

We found a few months ago that ISPs now cache frequently used Webpages. It seems that when they cache them they also have a version that best suits MSIE and another that best paints on Netscape, ignoring all other browsers. When a browser requests a document part of the exchange includes the identity of the browser and since HV is not among the first two , it gets a nice big cherry - an empty page...

Jeff, Post/LX and HV use completely different protocols, and different server programs (in many cases different hardware even!) The comparison is not useful.

Most simcards can take 100 enteries. The rest (16) is probably stored on the phone. I think you can set what memory you want to download from with the script. I read this in the textfiles somewhere.. Transfer the sim and the the phonenumbers on the phone and merg the files afterwards and you should find all 116.

Works just like he outlines in the docs. (This message has a lot of bad english it is late :-) Question: Can I "instruct" Gdbio not to extract the Notefield from the Hplx phonebook. The Contacts when I get it on the Rex is so damn slow. Can not be used at all. (Should maybe read the Gdbio docs? :-) I have used the Truesync and a subset export of the Hplx phonebook. And this is without the notefield and it works very well. But it takes too long to do this on my laptop. I read in the beta docs that there are work going on getting Hplx Notebooks into the Rex. I am _really_ looking forward to this. I would like to merge 2-3 Hplx Notebooks and then transfer this to the Rex. Ofcourse with a "Title + text" setup..:-) Is it possible in the next beta to not reset the Rex3 when you dump the files from the Hplx to the Rex3? I see that my "Please return too ..." Is reset and also time and home town settings. Any solution to this? Well that is it at this time..Hope to see a new beta soon..

I've just this morning successfully made a secure connection with an SSH client for DOS (SSHDOS v0.1 by Nagy Daniel) running on my LX under the LXTCP environment. That's the good news. The bad news: Out of two servers running almost the same version # of daemon, I could only connect to one of them. I don't know if this is a client problem, or the server. It's a little sluggish on a DS 200LX with a network connection, but usable. On a single speed, and a modem, it might be intolerable, but I haven't tried it. I was unable to get the executable as distributed to work on the LX. The copyright prevents me from distributing my recompiled version or source changes without permission (which I could try to obtain). The VT100 emulation is a little buggy, the screen gets messed up. You can find the original distribution of executable and source at http://www.vein.hu/~nagyd/ but as I said, I could not get this version to work. If anyone is interested I could pursue this further.

The staff had some old equipment to be trashed, and amoung the items were eight brand spankin new HP200LX's, they never used them! Well happy happy am I after I had time to play around and discover what I had. I'm an old DOS nut from way back, would have given anything to have a handheld XT in those days. So I'm going to have fun fun fun diging out my old dos software and memories! Can't wait till my link cable and extra memory arive. So...I have lots of ideas and software to share soon, but you guys already had all your fun,,, so be happy to know that there there are still those out there that remember the good old days of dos, and are excited to get thier hands on a sweet piece of hardware like the 200LX !! ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken London To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2000 9:12 PM Subject: Death of the palmtop paper It was with great sadness that I opened my mail today. In there was my last print issue of the palmtop paper. It is the end of an era...I've known for many years that the HP200lx would someday be history. DOS based software was being replaced by windows. My wife got me an HP545, a "pocket PC," but I still long for a machine that has the flexibility of the HP200lx. With the HP200lx...if it didn't do what I wanted it to do...I could write a program that would do it. Now that I have a "pocket PC, " those days are gone. I know change is inevitable, that the HP200lx wasn't going to live forever, but this is indeed a very sad day. The one publication that I relied on to "champion" the HP200lx is closing up shop and moving to the web. I know they said it would mean they could do more...but it also means the beginning of the end. It is another nail in the coffin of the HP200lx. The bottom line is they got it right when they made the 200lx. Maybe HP got the message that they made the 200lx too good, that any machine in the future had to be inferior in quality. It's like HP made the 200lx and figured out that they should not have...that any machine that followed would inevitably be inferior in quality. They seemed much too eager to kill off the HP200lx... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 01:00:41 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , John J Vanderstel Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John J Vanderstel Subject: Re: SSH on the LX!

Hi All, I posted a question the other day and have received no comments, at all. Just in case my post for some strange reason didn't get distributed, here is a copy of that original message: --- Hi All, Just a quick question. While attempting to determine the best modem init string for my US Robotics Sportster 33.6 Data/Fax Internal modem for use with Nettamer, I came across what appears to be a contradiction in recommendations. A terminal program that I have called Lync sends a generic modem init string to all modems that includes "&S1", which tells the modem to control DSR (Data Set Ready) operations. Another communications program that I have sets a US Robotics Sportster v.34 modem to "AT&F1". In the Sportster modem manual, the modem command "&F1" to set all of the modem settings to the Hardware Flow Control Template defaults to "&S0", which sets DSR Override; always on. I seem to remember from my BBS sysop days that this was an important setting, but I can't remember which setting was best. Does anyone remember which "&S" setting is best to use when connected to an ISP? Thanks in advance. :-) Cheers!

It's > pretty darn secure :-) Yes, in it's simplest form (like SSHDOS) you can think of SSH (secure shell) as a secure telnet program. With normal telnet, your passwords, and everything else you type, are sent as clear text, and so could be intercepted and read by someone running a packet sniffer on the network. With SSH, everthing you type is encrypted before being sent over the wire. There is one problem with Jeff's method. It's only as secure as the shell machine he's dialing in to. With SSH on the palmtop, this isn't as much of a worry.

Seems that it is best to use the default &S string for your modem as displayed by an AT&F command. What is important for optimum high speed connection is that Hardware Flow Control (RTS/CTS) should be enabled, and to open the COM port to 115kbps with the help of a 16550 UART chip. You may also wish to check out the 3Com support site at http://consumer.3com.com/sitenav/analogmodemsupport.cfm , and ask them. John J Vanderstel wrote: > >Just a quick question.

I do not answer your direct question as I never got deeply involved in init strings. As I'm operating 3 different PCMCIA modems and a cellphone for internet connection I've decided to use the least common init string to all hardware setup situations. That's a plain AT&F - and it works fine all the time and everywhere. Only in predial situations (hotel, business) do I have to add an X3.

Well, between your ISP and the destination it is pretty darn secure. But between your palmtop and the ISP it is pretty darn "open to the public" ... Realistically, it may be sufficiently secure for your purposes, of course. The risk is small that someone is monitoring your phone line, but the risk is there nevertheless. It is especially insecure if you use cell phone as your "phone line". The more completely secure connection would encrypt the communication BEFORE it leaves the palmtop, so no information travels without encryption. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 19:58:53 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Registering www/lx 3?

Will I have to do it manually each time? There are probably several solutions, but since I don't know exactly what you're trying to achieve, I'll venture at one or two. You can program a one-liner macro in the spreadsheet (like Alt-D) to lay down "@datevalue(@int(@now))" into a cell and that puts the current day's datevalue in there. Or if you wanted this function to be universal to other spreadsheets, you can program an LX Macro function (Fn-Fİ1-10¨) to lay down the same, or even program the function to lay down the date any way you want, for instance you can write the normal Fn- Date using {Date} and pre-pending the year with a "1". That should hold you over for 99 years or so. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 21:31:35 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Rodger N.

This is irrelevant now, as the new release (0.2) at http://www.vein.hu/~nagyd/ now works on the LX. As for what it does, see my other post, and to quote from the SSH FAQ "Secure Shell (SSH) is a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over unsecure channels. It is intended as a replacement for telnet, rlogin, rsh, and rcp." SSHDOS uses the SSH1 protocol and this part seems to work well connecting to most servers. It does not yet implement the secure moving of files (SCP - secure copy), but the author is working on that. To use it, just copy it to a directory with a properly configured wattcp.cfg, run your packet driver, and type sshdos username remote_host If the remote host is running a compatible sshd, the program will generate a session key, then ask for your password. If this works, you have a secure connection, and your communications with the remote system are now secure from snooping.

As to the pre-pending of the year in a system macro, if the macro {Date} gets you 14-Aug-00, the cursor is normally left at the end of the date, so your macro should cursor over to add the "1".... {Date}{Left}{Left}1{Right}{Right} and that should get you 14-Aug-100 The above is keyed in from memory, so I may not have gotten the names right for the keys ... but you get the idea. - Longden > Great Longden, this is just the type of thing I need.

I'd need the output to be 14-Aug-100. Hmm, I never thought of using fnDate to put the current date into 123. i like it. I read what has been written and switched my date format in system setup to YY-MM-DD Then I wrote a macro in system macros, here it is @date(1{Date}{Left}{Left}{Left}{Left}{Left}{Left}{Left}{Del},{Right}{Right},{Del}{Right}{Right}{Enter} Works today, I'll have to chage the system date and test it on a shorter month.

I next took my macro for prepending 1 to the date and added changing the system date format to the YY-MM-DD format, inserting the date and then switching the date back to my regular date format. So I have a macro as follows {Setup}{F2}{Tab}{Tab}{Down}{Down}{Down}{Enter}{123}@date(1{Date}{Left}{Left}{Left}{Left}{Left}{Left}{Backsp},{Right}{Right},{Del}{Right}{Right}{Enter}{Setup}{F2}{Tab}{Tab}{Up}{Up}{Enter}{Menu}q This does the trick.

I'm still working on a good init string for that one. Since I purchased it from a local used computer store without a manual, I don't have all the info I need to make up a good init string for it. Power drain is only 30mA in low power mode (Does anyone know if that is lower than the new 56K card modem that Thaddeus offers now?), but I have no manual to show how to set it to that mode. Motorola's own modem support website doesn't even mention this modem, but I found the following three init strings for it on ModemHelp.Org: AT&F&D0\Q3S0=0 AT&F&C1&D2\Q3%C0 AT&F&C1&D0\Q3\V3 If I can't figure out which one is best and what setting actually turns on low power mode, I'll try the generic AT&F and see what happens. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

A very clever use of some obscure DOS tricks in combination with the mundane in order to get a desired result. The essentials of the original batch file (with apologies to the author): @echo off rem assigns the current day three letter abreviation to environment rem variable "day" rem ************************************ echo set day=%%4 > the.bat echo. | date > temp.bat call temp.bat del temp.bat del the.bat As the remarks describe, the batch file results in the day of the week (ie, "Mon") being placed into the DOS environment (the same place where your PATH gets stored) for programs (and other batch files) that may need it. echo set day=%%4 > the.bat This line stores a single command "set day=%4" in a file called "the.bat" (for reasons to be seen). The %% is needed in order to properly evaluate to a single % when used in a batch file as a text string. echo. | date > temp.bat This brings it all together. "echo.|date" is a trick way of issuing the DOS date command. The trailing period on the echo tells DOS to send an Enter to the date command, because normally the date command displays the date and then waits for you to enter a new date, or press enter. The output of the date command creates a file called "temp.bat", which contains something like: The current date is: Mon 08/14/2000 Finally, the line call temp.bat "executes" that file as the command ... "The current date is: Mon 08/14/2000". So you see, if DOS sees that on the command line, it would interpret "The" as a command and all the other words as parameters. "the.bat" created earlier is used by DOS to interpret the line, and "the.bat" picks up the 4th parameter which is the string "Mon" and uses it to set a variable called "day". The rest of the batch file is cleanup. You could also modify the batch file to store the %5 text (08/14/2000) into the environment, and likewise use the trick for the "time" command rather than "date", tho that is less useful. - Longden Nathalie Bugeaud on 08/13/2000 09:02:57 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Nathalie Bugeaud To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: DOS environment variable question |> echo set day=%%4 > the.bat |> echo. | date > temp.bat |> call temp.bat >It took me 1 hour to hack it.

The problem may be that by the time they have the cost and technical factors ironed out, the existing digital cameras will have leapfrogged also in features and lower cost. The issue will probably come down to whether a camera designed from the ground-up as a digicam offers significant benefits compared to a film camera using digital media. The Nikon D1 and F100 comparisons are probably the start of this. And most of the amassed equipment may be lenses which may be adaptable to future high-end digital cameras too, so your investment loss may only be the camera body (which is still a significant cost for pros who may have several). Film cameras, like classic computers (such as the LX) have evolved to perform a basic task very well, and will continue to do so, but will labor when a new design paradigm is introduced (ie, GUI and networking for the LX).

If SSH is possible then it seems that SSL may be do-able as well. I figure SSL would be even slower because the app would have to go fetch some public key for the PKI stuff. I guess if we're talking web browsing it would be even slower cause of all the extra crub web pages send. I just wonder if, considering the SSH is do-able, is SSL a bit more feasable than previously thought. BTW: For those who do not know, SSL is the encryption used in banking transactions through web browsers. Kinda like when you enter your credit card to buy something and the sight assures you that it is secure. They make it secure in two ways: they use a protocol that encrypts traffic so that no one can get your card number. They also use PKI (public key infrastructure) which is a way to have a third party (likem verisign) verify that "you are who you say you are". This way you can know you're not sending your credit card info to a hijacked/re-directed site.

Actually, I'm basically a camera luddite. What I'd like to see is a full manual control digicam, with good old-fashioned dials for aperture and shutter speed, and manual focus (with true macro). What I have is the Epson 850, which allows manual aperture and shutter speed (thru the LCD display), but no manual focus. I do find the electronic white = balance control very handy. The problem with filters and mixed light sources is that guessing at the color balance doesn't work all that well, and also not being a professional photographer, I don't own a color meter for accurate checks.

I'm still pained by how easy it was to read the over/under exposure needle on my wife's mechanical Canon Ftb compared to many electronic cameras that only flash a "+/-" sign with no indication of the degree. My entry-level Canon Rebel was one of the first Canon electronic cameras to reinstate that feature. And so history will probably repeat itself with the digicams. I hope It's not "luddite" to ask them not to fix something that's not broken . Part of the problem in the camera world deals with patents. Features on a camera are often patented by other manufacturers, and the game is to introduce a new camera that not only has the hot features we all want, but at a price that can be affordably manufactured, considering the patent royalties to be paid. This came out in some camera related discussions over why each new camera did not always retain all the proven features of the previous model. Whether this factor will be evident in digicams remains to be seen. Computer manufacturers have always been notoriously promiscuous in whose features they breed into the next model ... and I hope that carries over to the digicam world as well. - Longden Peniel Romanelli on 08/14/2000 03:10:15 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Peniel Romanelli To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: Off topic: digital cameras Actually, I'm basically a camera luddite.

The instructions I gave were from memory, so I didn't know at the time what the correct Lotus macro designators were for F9 (recalc key) and Enter. If you wanted a date macro in 123, this would be how it'd look: @datevalue(@int(@now)){calc}~ 1) This enters the formula for the current date in the cell -> @datevalue(@int(@now)) 2) Then the {calc} does the F9 recalc to convert the formula to a hard number in edit mode. 3) Then the "~" does the Enter to complete the cell. 4) Assign a RangeName to the above (like \d) and then Alt-d should execute the macro into whatever cell the cursor is positioned. This would leave you with an integer number like 36753 for today's date 8/15/00, and /RangeFormatDate will get the display right. - Longden Eric Greenspoon on 08/14/2000 09:43:42 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Eric Greenspoon To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: Lotus 123 Y2K I've decided to go with the System macro method as it works out to be easier for my needs right now.

Remember that the longer macro lays down a @date(yy,mm,dd) function into a cell which you can later edit (if you need to do so), whereas the shorter macro lays down the integer number for the current date. If you later wanted to diddle with the date, the longer method is easier since the mm,dd,yy are easier to modify than a simple integer number. I have my LX date display permanently set to yy-mm-dd, so laying down the correct date in 123 is easier (tho I rarely do this anymore), but for people who use the mm-dd-yy format, you can still use the @date(yy,mm,dd) function in 123 via the system macro, without using Setup to alter the format .... just lay down the date twice (tho there's a lot of backspacing): @date({Date}{Right}{Right}{Backsp}{Backsp}{Backsp}{Backsp}{Backsp}{Backsp}1{Right}{Right},{Date}{Backsp}{Backsp}{Backsp}{Left}{Left}{Backsp},{Right}{Right}){Enter} Hmmm, butt-ugly and still long, but it should do the job and without having to reset your date format. The above is keyed in, and not tested .. so don't expect miracles. What it does: @date({Date} - lays down the formula start and the date, so you get something like @date(08-15-00 {Right}......1{Right}{Right}, - skips over the yy and erases the mm and dd, adds the '1' to the year and moves to the end of the text and adds a comma and you should have @date(100, {Date}....{Enter} - lays down mm-dd-yy again, and erases the year on the right end and replaces the dashes with commas and adds the closing paren, and it should now look like @date(100,08,15) Again, the above system macro is UNTESTED, and may need correcting for anyone who wants to try it. - Longden "francis_patrick_west@yahoo.com" , Tomas Moberg Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tomas Moberg Subject: Re: Problem with ExtProg in WWW/LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Ofcourse I refer to robonews.

A possible way of creating "indexes" or help search the text would be (if it is plain ASCII text) : - using the outlook feature of PalEdit to replace chapters by PE-headers - use FIND/LX from DASoft to create approximate search indexes again in conjunction with PE Apart from that one may apply the search function of PE or use search programs such as GREP or XGREP to find text.

I have been thinking of an unsolved problem I had some time ago. I needed the network ID of a network card as a Dos environment variable for a clipper program, to choose the right printer settings and so on. With netware no problem, because you can set a dos variable in the login script and there is also a clipper tool that reads it with netware. But with a NT server, this function did not work any more. I found a little Dos program, that can read the network adress and writes it on the screen in this format: CR-LF Physical node (NIC) address of this workstation is: 00FF0000EE00 CR-LF In my example I used the program xgrep to extract the line with the adress, the rest is like in the file we had on the list. With xgrep it is possible to extract strings from various files and the system is very flexible ... this is my batch file, and it does its job very good. If anybody needs nodeid.com, mail me private please. rem node should be set as Dos environment variable nodeid.com > nodeid.txt rem xgrep extracts the line with the adress - first letter is missing! xgrep workstation nodeid.txt > temp.bat rem hysical is first word in temp.bat, ID appears as nr. 8 echo set node=%%8 > hysical.bat call temp.bat del hysical.bat del temp.bat del nodeid.txt thanks all who reported the trick and explained it! 73!

He provided input on the registration process, the form, the Webpage, and documentation. Very thorough and I am sure it was very time consuming for him. I wanted to use someone from the "outside" of D&A, a customer, with a critical eye. I have been well rewarded by William (I think one of his emails was even posted by mistake in public on this list... ;)...). As a small token of D&A's appreciation, we refused to charge his credit card for the upgrade and he received a complimentary license. (Thank you again, William!) So just so that y'all know...

If the digest was very long at all (90% of the time), the entire list digest would be an attachment to the email. I switched to a different POP3 provider several months ago and the entire digest has always been the text of the email. The software I use and the processor of the HPLX list hasn't changed as far as I know. So, the ISP must have had some effect.

Minix is definitely working, tho. Mack Bagette did a bunch of work to get Minix functional on the LX. It's a great operating system but there are no applications.... at least none that I've ever seen. There are other difficulties with minix: - The full 200lx distribution with manual pages and development is 40MB, not bad if you have a big flash card... - You can't access the DOS file system while running Minix (it uses a virtual file system stored on a DOS file, kinda like stacker or Jam) - You can't access system manager and/or DOS. It would great to run it in an SC session (I know that would be hard to do as it is a true OS that 'takes over' the processor) - There's currently no ethernet support, but I think it does have an IP stack and support for dialup/ppp - No GUI, I know that GUIs are not kewl for us techie types but it's a pain to keep typing commands on a little keyboard. It's too bad that Minix has only been able to go as far as it has. Mack made the first move but no one else with the similar talents has picked up the project to advance it further. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 12:58:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Explode Digest in WWW/LX Comments: To: Bob Penick MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit It is new to me that an ISP intervenes and modifies the structure of an email.

Probably it is not constructed in a way that Post/LX recognizes. As I said - there are many many structures, and listservers format digests in any which way they please, since there is no one standard way to do it. The program cannot identify all possibilities, and therefore it cannot explode some digests. > I recently mailed You this, together with my configuration, but > did'nt get no answer back :-(maybe because my not-so-euphoric > posting concerning the backlight-price-thread longer ago? > ). Everyone is entitled to make mistakes! ... You said that even Peichl knew of no solutions. I am not surprised. I do not see a solution really quickly, or at all. The problem is that somehow the program needs to know where one message ends and another starts. There are many ways to do it, and to cover everything is impossible. To cover some - the ones you want - means that the next guy will feel neglected, and you know what happens then. The trick is to find some method to scan the email and break it up, making the decisions for the user. That is something we try to shy away from (makes us feel too much like Microsoft! :-¨). So in my opinion, the only solution will be something that you will teach. IOW, the user will look at his digest and figure out how to break it up into messages, and somehow describe it to a program. Then this program will explode the digest. Mind you, it is entirely possible that every digest you will receive will look different and require a different "breakup instructions". More than that, what you see in Post/LX on the screen is not the material to use to understand the structure. You'd need to look at the raw file that is the message which contains the digest. It is not nearly as simple as it looks. I went through some considerable torture with Andreas when he put together the code. It is ugly, and obviously not working all the time for everything. I actually think it should be removed from Post/LX and the whole function moved to another, external program, or a script, or something like that. This is code that takes room in the program, and is not as effective as we hoped it to be, and it is time to look at it realistically. If it can be done with an external program, it is probably better, since then you can tailor these external programs to various digest formats. I do not have a solution now. Avi M.

That would be terrific! Again, each server that creates a digest is not bound to comply with any standard, and so the person who specified how to make the digest has a rather open range to make his own. If there is no specific way, then a program may not be able to discern the structure, and thus cannot tell where message start and end, and that's obviously essential to exploding digests. Avi M.

I would encourage everyone who is interested in "Digest Explosion" to = have a look as the programme READMAIL (available on www.palmtop.net). It does a = very good job at splitting various digest formats in individual messages and threading them. Some formats are pre-defined and it allows users to define additional = formats if the built-in ones do not work. It works at least for the HPLX Digest (Standard RFC 1153 format) and the Libretto Digest (needs some user definition).

I want to compare LXTCP and IMHO, HV is a terrific program, and an excellent example of how to shove a huge amount of function into the smallest possible program size. BUT: It is not a good tool to use for browsing the World WILD (!) Web anymore. There is so much hapening and moving and changing that there is no chance to put it into a small program space that is available. So using browsing as a category is at the very best a so-so. Straight text borwosing is fine, but anything more that that is going to disappoint you. WWW/LX Version 3 shines in email, telnet etc. Aside from GP and LXTCP there is also NetTamer which you could try. > Goin' Postal to WWW/LX before I make the purchase, but I can't get > either set up.

I have added >c:\ntkey2lx.com to my autoexec.bat after c:\charge\abctsr.com and before ... I'm using the KB w/ SSC 7, and no troubles. I'm "double-speeded" and "memory enhanced" too; so I'm running many of the same drivers you are. All I've had to do to make it work is add: c:\kb\ntkey2lx -1 -a to my autoexec bat ("KB" is obv. the subdirectory I use to hold these drivers). The "-1" tells the driver I've a doublespeed system "-1" is for a 32.00 MHz crystal and "-2" is for a 36 MHz crystal .... I don't remember which one I have (I have to remember to ask the folks at Thaddeus, next time I have them on the phone), but started w/ -1 and it works fine. The "-a" reverses the "up" and "right" arrow keys. It feels more natural to have my directions grouped that way İ <-- | ¬ | v | --> ¨ ... if that didn't translate well, the "-a" makes the keys Left, Up, Down, Right ... So, when I'm in a hurry the left- and right- most keys do just that to the cursor! There're many little "tweaks" like the "-a" in the readme ... if you didn't get it, holler ("give a shout" ) and I can email it to you! I think the "-1" or "-2" may solve your prob. If that doesn't, you'll have to do the standard "rem" in front of your TSRs, etc., one at a time, until you find the culprit! Happy Hunting!! HTH, --tim PS. "Ctrl-Alt-Full stop" ("...period" for those of us on the sprawling side of the pond) does bring the Software Carousel menu up (I'd forgotten that; so thank you).... If you want to remove the KB TSR, just enter "ntkey2lx -r" at the DOS prompt. PPS.

I've used it to log in and reboot remote VAX systems from the LX, over a cellphone. I don't recall there being anything fancy to setting up GP. As I use Compuserve I use the script file that ships with GP for CSI, which handles the 7-bit-even parity of the CSI login. I did have problems getting a connection through a different (?shiva) dial-up, where the remote end refused to negotiate the MTU size below 1500, and also would only work if all control characters were quoted...these are all parameters on the EPPPD command line. In general you need to tell the list your specific problem, and folk will try to help. There's a debug version of EPPPD that is handy to see the exchange before the driver goes online, though I did have to use a video camera to catch the stuff scrolling off the screen!

My best friend's daughter is a high school soccer player. They've set up a website w/ a company that lists the girls' "statistics" so they can be recruited by college/pro scouts, etc. The site's goals (no pun intended) are noble; but they have the girls' email addresses and, IMO, too much information posted there İ*way* too easy to do reverse look ups, get parents' addresses, etc. I want to help protect the girls from the less-than-wholesome folks out there¨. Is there a service, free or otherwise that will allow us to set up a "mail drop" for the girls? I know they could all get (in some cases a second) Hotmail (account), but I hoped for something that would pull "questionable" email into a "queue," where an adult would have the chance to take a look at the email and click a "go ahead" or "dump" button...... Then it would forward to the player İall their addresses could be "@localisp.com". Havoc's the team name¨. Three email buttons would be better, "Go Ahead," "Dump" and "Forward to Local Authorities w/ comment" would be better! I wouldn't want an Auto-bot doing the work (with instant forward to the FBI or a return "nasty gram") because filtering parameters would be hard to work out. What if a real college scout mistyped something like, "Looking forward to seeing you at tryouts, butt your age group runs on Saturday *morning* not afternoon" and the program/autobot, reacted to "butt" in a bad way!!! I'd love to see something a volunteer parent or coach could administer via web-browser, from home, even if the program and mail "lived" on either a commercial server or at the high school.

When I had the list sent to bnj@palmtop.com I received it with the "From" being listed as "HPLX Mailing List". The digest itself was usually an attachment file named "note.txt. If the digest that day was very short, all of it would be in the body of the email. Since July 21 I've had the digest sent to a standard POP3 account. All of the HPLX digests I've gotten since then are listed as being from "Automatic digest processor", and the digest itself has always been straight text in the body of the email. Remember that Palmtop.com is primarily a Lotus ccMail server and for a onetime $60 fee they would set up a POP3 mail account for you. I did this years ago. It might be possible that the ccMail to POP3 gateway transforms the digest in some way. I don't know. I was just trying to say that there must be some situations where the ISP "modifies" an email.

Thank you both! Tony sent you also an email about this, he is one of our Tech Support people. Let me give you and everyone else the full answer, since I can ... 1. Pick must be on the PATH (see AUTOEXEC.BAT). Makes no difference where, as long is it possible to find it. If you want to put it in the same subdirectory where Post/LX is, that's fine, and the path will never come to play, since PIC.EXE will be found. 2. I am always making people angry with telling to to read the documentation. The reason is that it took about 2000 hours to put it together, and it is a monumental job. Frankly, I do not remember everything on it myself. So we tried to just put in there EVERYTHING. And I can tell you that not everything found its way there! ... Anyway, in the HELP topics of Post/LX I find this: ---------- From: Help - Advanced Subject: Selecting Attachment Files When adding an attachment and when choosing a signature file, you can either type the name of the file you want to send as an attachment, or you can select it using an external "file picker" utility by pressing F6. By default, POST/LX is set up to use the freeware utility PICK.EXE by Harry Konstas (downloadable from www.dasoft.com). It must be either in the current directory or somewhere on the DOS path. If you want to use any other file selection utility, add the line Pick=MY_PICKER.EXE to the İSYSTEM¨ section of POST.CFG. Of course, "MY_PICKER.EXE" is just an example. Modify it so that it matches the name of the selector utility. POST/LX expects to find the name of the selected file in the file C:\FILE.LST. ---------- This says it all. Hope this is useful to others as well. Oh, and please, Folks, PRINT THE HELP TOPICS and READ them, We have this wonderful little program called DOCIFY.EXE (docuneted in Version 3 in DOCIFY.TXT and in Version 2 in file DOCIFY.DOC) which will create two excellent formats of the Help Topics...

The connector has a center pin and a spring to press the AC adaptor plug against the center pin of the connector. Most likely the spring has not enough tension. Try to pull the spring towards the center pin with some plyer.

I'm glad the instructions were helpful. I struggled through the setup process too, and thought my experience might help others. Two thoughts on your problem. I've seen a similar response when the connection takes longer to negotiate than the timeout period allows. My default chat string actually includes -t120 as the first parameter. This sets the timeout to 2 minutes. I didn't include this because I generally only need it when dialing long distance with calling card numbers. My other thought is that every now and then I'll get a failure to load the PPP driver for some unknown reason. Usually if I reboot, it works fine. If these things don't help, perhaps you will need a more detailed chat script. If this is the case, you could use DataComm to dial up and see exactly what strings your ISP is sending.

Since then I have a nice listing of all messages in my Pegasus Mail program. I can also answer to the author of each mail by clicking the reply button. As concerns the changings in the mail header of mails by providers I am sure that this happens sometimes from my own experience. In my hospital they run a MS Exchange server and we found out that if there appears a 8Bit character somewhere in the mail digest, the server changes the message type description in the mail header, and the exchange server does not recognize the mime digest type. So it happened for example, that digests without 8Bit characters were o.k. displayed, as soon as there was found only one 8 Bit character in the whole digest, all formating was gone and I could see only plain/text instead of the sender and subject of the mail. If someone is interested in seeing such an example, I have saved an example of the raw messages. (both, changed through the exchange server, and o.k. through my private ISP) regards, Werner on 18 Aug 2000, at 16:57, Bob Penick wrote about "Re: Explode Digest in WWW/LX": > Avi and others, > > I usually read the HPLX digest with MS Outlook express at my desk. > > When I had the list sent to bnj@palmtop.com I received it with the > "From" being listed as "HPLX Mailing List".

I do not think drilling into the Hplx is a good idea. I think it will break because it is "hard" plastic". But I guess it would be nice to have a "nose ring" type in one of the corners. But you have to drill throug the edge of the screen and I do not think there are room for this. But I guess some of the "Hplx Quincy's" on the list can answer that. :-) Regards -- Martin Bergvill , Narvik Norway ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 20:14:03 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ken London Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ken London Subject: Re: WTB: 200LX base cover MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > On Sat, 19 Aug 2000 22:29:27 +0200, Nathalie Bugeaud wrote: > > to prevent the LX from breaking due to dropping, is it possible to fasten a > > string/chain to the body somehow with superglue or a screwed hook and > > key-ring? where can i drill into the plastic without damaging a vital organ? How about using velcro to fasten something to the hp200lx case...that way you won't have to drill any holes. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 00:54:56 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

I rigged up something on my HP100 ages ago but did not follow it up on any of my 200's! I threaded some high strength fishing line through one of those holes found in the battery compartment and then out through a notch I filed into the battery cover. It was a closed loop and pretty small - then you could place some lacing/webbing/strap through that loop of fishing line. I figured I could always replace the battery cover and the "fixed line" could be removed without any long lasting damage. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 21:15:42 -0400 Reply-To: jhenry@comcastwork.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: James Henry Subject: Re: Compaq 10 MB flashcard Comments: To: rundel-d@RUNDEL-D.COM In-Reply-To: <200008192241.SAA21756@spdmraac.compuserve.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thank Thomas.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I will get a new mobile phone from my company. It should be able to communicate with the hp200 LX via cable or infrared. Also I use a Libretto 100 and need IRDA so it is no longer necessary to carry the small docking station only to use the serial port to go online with the Sagem 850. I think the Nokia 8210 is nice and smaller than the Siemens S35. Do both have the same crosstalk problem with the HP200 and IRDA? Any opinions regarding transmission quality and connection stability in voice and data mode? Simply what are your recommendations? I like the Sagem much but sometimes IRDA would be nice.

I justr can't seem to FIND it! The ACE card is probably using a config.sys and autoexec.bat on the card. You shouldn't need any special setup for the Compaq card. As a couple of other folks mentioned, try FDISK100, then format. You'll lose the data on the card, but it should be recognized by the 200LX. If that doesn't work post your config.sys and autoexec.bat files from drive c: (and from drive a: if you restore the card files. If these two files are on the card, the 200 will boot using the versions on the card.

I think the best place for a screw that holds a string / chain or something like that was the position where David mounted his headphone jack: It's on the left side. If you look onto the LCMCIA slot it is about in the middle between the left edga of the slot and the tube where the screw is mounted. Another possibility: It should even be possible to wrap such a string or chain around the screw tube in this corner and let it out through two little holes at the corner of the LX case: one hole on the left side and one hole at the rear.

The difference is: The Siemens phones have a low-power IrDA interface, that has a smaller operation range than the IrDA interface of the Nokia devices. With the Siemens phones, you can get an IrDA connection only in a range of up to abt. 20 cm, and within these 20 cm, the interference between the phone and the LX's IrDA receiver is still existent. With the nokia phones, you can go away up to abt. 1m from the palmtop, and with such a distance, there are no or much less interference errors. Two drawbacks, one for the Siemens, one for the nokia phones: Siemens: I made the experience, that the Siemens phones (I tested the S25 and The S35, several pieces of each ;-) ) sometimes switch themselves off after an IrDA connection with WWW/LX is established. I think this is a software bug in the Siemens phones. It happens quite often, so I usually use a data cable instead of IrDA. Nokia: There is no (or at least a very inconvenient) possibility to use a data cable, so you HAVE to use IrDa. Sometimes a cable is more convenient, IMO, so you have to consider what you prefer. If you prefer to use a data cable, go for the Siemens, if you would like to use IrDA connections (but you have to place the phone and the LX quite far from each other), go for the Nokia phone! For more information please see my homepage at www.daniel-hertrich.de For you, the HPLX <--> mobile phone page and the HPLX <--> S25 page may be interesting. If you have skills in soldering and electronics, you can use my instructions to make a very small and light-weight data cable for the S25 and S35 with a plug for the LX.

All phones have it, but the Nokia has stronger ir so you can position the phone longer away from the Hplx and therefor works better than the Siemens. I have a 7110 a bit more bulky but works fine. > Any opinions > regarding transmission quality and connection stability in voice and > data mode? I have tried the 8210 for a while. Voice and data was okey. I have not tried the S35 for data or voice. But according to Hr.

As far as I remember, ACE cards came with special drivers (acecard.com?) and sometimes even Stacker software. To find out if the drivers prevent you from accessing the new card, you could try to reboot and immediately press the "Alt" key to bring up the startup menu. Use one of the options which do NOT process the startup files, and then try to access the card. If it does work, there is indeed a problem with the ACE card drivers.

It's, as far as I understand, totally impossible, because the wired serial port AND the IR port of the LX are both COM1, and which one is used when using COM1 on the LX is switched by software. So there is no chance to connect both. There are utilities to connect two different COM ports so that your computer is only a 'relay station'. If you have a serial port PCMCIA card that you can use as COM2 on the LX, then you can use such a tool. But I think it would be less expensive to buy an IrDA dongle for your laptop that to buy a serial port PCMCIA card....

If you had SED from the SUPER site (a 22k stream editor), you could make the DATEDIR.BAT file look something like this: @echo off echo.|date|sed "s/-//g" > tmp.bat echo set today=%%4> current.bat call tmp.bat echo Todays date is İ%today%¨ if not exist %today%.dir mkdir %today%.dir This makes use of the recently discussed trick to capture part of the "date" command, and uses SED to remove the hyphens. The absence of any space after the "4" on "%%4>" is important.

Mirroring to the HPLX-L group would be a tricky proposition; we'd have to have scripts checking so we didn't end up with messages looping back and forth, and we'd have to have scripts to transform the newsgroup post into a mail message and send it out; if our news server's mail<->news capabilities were more than just a hasty afterthought, it might handle all that automatically, but it doesn't, and since very few people use it for private groups like we do, they probably won't improve the mail<->news gateway functions for a while, if at all. Of course those are not insurmountable problems. The main reason we don't mirror newsgroup postings to the HPLX-L mailing list is because we don't WANT people posting to that group directly. At all. It's meant to be a read-only mirror of postings to this mailing list. If we could easily turn off posting access, we would, but the authentication setup on our news server is such that doing that would double the size of the access file and make it harder to work with, so we don't. Still, we would appreciate it, when you all are replying to list messages on the list.hplx newsgroup, if you would e-mail your replies to the list (HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU) and not post them to list.hplx. A lot more people will see your message and you'll avoid irritating us. ian Butler / ian@hplx.net http://peace.hplx.net/ The wise are only special in their ability to articulate wisdom. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 14:22:13 +0100 Reply-To: Paulo.Custodio@alcatel.pt Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Paulo Custodio Organization: Alcatel Subject: Phone book format in PIM/PE MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Is there a recommended format for a Phone book PIM file?

While signing up at GMX for a free e-mail adress is a good thing the basic task of having HPLX-L e-mails in a seperate folder is much easier to accomplish. Most e-mail clients have a filter capability which allows you to redirect/filter incomming mail into specific folders depending on recurring strings in the header. I use POST/LX and filter all list mails into a seperate folder. No big deal at all. Just add a folder with the name hplx in POST/LX and enter a İFilter¨ section similar to the following into your post.cfg file : İFILTER¨ hplx=hplx HP Staber/Salzburg ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 07:24:15 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: RFC822 error: Incorrect or incomplete address field found and ignored.

The Windows 9X client workstation versions costs <$30 and gives you encrypted email, command line encryption of files, encrypted virtual disks and an IPsec compliant VPN client.

This sounds like an extension to the concatenation capability of the copy command. This can be useful if you want to combine several smaller files into one large one. I never knew that xcopy could do this as well. You are correct, however, that when invoked across an entire disk drive the resulting file would be of little value. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Just add a folder with the name hplx in POST/LX and enter > a İFilter¨ section similar to the following into your post.cfg file : I do that too but I think some people are nervous about editing their .CFG files. Why else would they choose the difficult options such as using the HPLX ng (with its poor reliably record) or the ExplodeDigest option which a number of recent post have discussed problems with? What (I ass-u-me most) people want from HPLX-L... 1. they want to work with individual posts, not a large digest 2. they don't want the individual posts cluttering their email folder 3. easy reply, they want to reply where they receive 4. reliability; if the list is working, they want to see it I have tried a couple of different methods and the BEST (for me) is the filtering we are both using. I think the GMX trick would be just as usuable. The ng (when working) is convient for reading but you have reply to the list via email, not a ng post. I haven't tried exploding digests as I'm already running the best solution (filtering). Cheers...

I (think I) remember reading somewhere that the target & source DATA isn't compared; what is compared is the checksum or CRC of each sector as it's written. This is a small nit but it is possible for a bad sector to be written with an identical CRC that would not fail the copy. Cheers...

Yup, those satellites can see down through my asphalt roof and through the plywood and read my screen :) It's even harder for the satellite to read the email of folks that might live in a tall apartment building where the satellite actually has to peer through sever different floors. Now, if one were reading their email *outside* it would be possible to actually see the screen from a LEO satellite. It's a heck of a lot easier just to use a system like Carnivore to snag email.

I am also somewhat of a survivalist complete with all types of weapons including handguns, long guns and other arms.

I use my 200LX with my digital cell phone (Ericsson), using a PCMCIA "modem" card that is also made by Ericsson. Others on the list have successfully used their 200LX here in the US with various analog and digital cell phone systems. Some phones are available these days with a built-in modem serial port, alleviating the need for a special interface (other than a usually-custom cable). I'm getting out of my league here, but isn't the US PCS digital cell phone based on the GSM standard? Just on a different frequency band than our European counterparts? It isn't clear to me that the various GSM information is not of benefit to you here in the US. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

With www/lx I remember just 2 "turn offs", with a total of 29 connections. 1 time www/lx crashed, 1 time not. 29 (-> www.log) seems too little, I think there more. But www/lx tends to 'loose' some connections as sometimes 2 or 3 connections are summarized in one. So, finally, the S35's drop out rate is quite low in my case.

Here in Pennsylvania, Bell Atlantic activated by old Analog "Flip phone" for free - all I did was buy a 60 minute, 90 day phone card. I need to keep the account "active" by buying new cards at least once every 90 days. I plan to use it, but if not, you could always throw the card and the phone in the trunk, and activate the card as needed. Final cost is about $10.00 a month (60 minute card =$30.00).

The PCMCIA card looks just like a serial modem to the 200LX. Setup is typical for any PCMCIA modem with any of the variety of internet access programs/packages. I have used mine with LX/TCP and WWW/LX successfully. To enhance the chance of a connection, I would also suggest you carry a regular PCMCIA modem and an acoustic coupler.

No, I've never actually obtained an acoustic connection through the cell phone, although I've half-heartedly tried a few times. My cell phone doesn't have an optimum arrangement of speaker/mike to easily connect to my acoustic coupler. Perhaps folks with separate suction cup couplers might have better luck - mine is a straich piece approximately the size of the normal handset. I've used it mostly from campground payphones and when overseas on a business trip. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I think that SED users who could fit their life's story on a single line would still complain about the verbosity . I had to pull my SED documentation on this one, and I understand how it works (but don't ask me tomorrow) but I don't see how a one temporary batch file refinement would work (please enlighten me). Thanks for the improvements, Laust. The method could use chkdsk instead, to make it work for an empty flash card (which would just return "file not found" using dir): chkdsk a: | sed "s/İ0-9.¨+ bytes available on disk/tmp &/p;d" > tmp2.bat But there's a slight performance hit as chkdsk runs a bit slower than dir sometimes. - Longden Laust Brock-Nannestad on 08/23/2000 05:43:37 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Laust Brock-Nannestad To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: free disk space in DOS environment variable On Wed, 23 Aug 2000, Longden Loo wrote: > Well, we can yank that DOS trick out once again...

When you have SED you might as well use it to its fullest: dir a: | sed "s/İ0-9.¨+ bytes free/tmp &/p;d" > tmp2.bat Just think of all the overhead that is avoided, not to mention you don't need that whooping 3.5kb XGREP.COM file on your machine ;-) It could be further refined, too, to only use one temporary batch file.

You could donate it to a non-profit or charitable org.... Our local Sheriff's dept. has a program/deal w/ AT&T to take old cell phones and make them into one-touch 911 devices they then give to women who have "domestic troubles" i.e., w/ restraining orders against a spouse, former spouse, or boyfriend (they only work w/ 911 ... which I understand is true of non-registered phones ... if someone on the list knows, hope they'll chime in --- If that's true, it could be an extra "emergency device" you can let someone you care about have in their glove-box).

I'm a heavy user of IrDA connections with WWW/LX and a Nokia 8810. It is common to have several tries for a working connection - especially in crowded places like airports or railway stations.

I think the reason for the question "file or directory" is simply that if you give a destination name that's not known, xcopy doesn't know if you want to copy a file into a directory with the given name or if xcopy shall copy the file into a new file with the new name. For example: xcopy c:\autoexec.bat c:\backup\system can mean: 1. copy the autoexec.bat file into a directory c:\backup\system that has to be crceated first, because it's not there 2. copy the autoexec.bat file into a file "system" in the backup directory. with 1. you gat a new file c:|backup\system\autoexec.bat and with 2. you get a file c:\backup\system, containing the contents of c:\autoexec.bat.

It is a dual band GSM (900Mhz-1900Mh) with built-in = modem and IR port. The 1900Mhz is the frequency used in the USA while the = 900Mhz is the standard in the rest of the world. Some European networks use also 1800Mhz hence the various tri-band phones (900-1800-1900) available now. \/ /ves ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 22:10:06 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Yves Leurquin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Yves Leurquin Subject: Re: Idea: Follow HPLX List via GMX free email MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Russel Brooks wrote: > I do that too but I think some people are nervous about editing their > .CFG files.

Don't know how it would affect xcopy, but don't forget that directory names can have extensions, too.

We should test if it depends on the palmtop or on the S35. It seems to be my palmtop (whatever the reason may be) because I had this problem with my S25s (I had a few of them) and with my first S35 AND with my new S35 (I had to led it exchange by Siemens, because it had another failure).

I have no bad ones with mine. But I have to be sure that I have approx the "correct" distance and then it is working very well. If I place it to close I have trouble getting connected(arrows up down down and so on..) V3.0 is also better. I could not (or it took a lot of time) get News2 to get in touch with my newsserver.

Laust's improved version should be no different in that regards. You have to be careful with batch files, and especially with SED commands ... the smallest lapse in transcription can wreck the code.

Cheers...Roger ============================================================= One night, a Delta twin-engine puddle jumper was flying somewhere above New Jersey. There were five people on board: the pilot, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, the Dalai Lama, and a hippie. Suddenly, an illegal oxygen generator exploded loudly in the luggage compartment, and the passenger cabin began to fill with smoke. The cockpit door opened, and the pilot burst into the compartment. "Gentlemen," he began, "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we're about to crash in New Jersey. The good news is that there are four parachutes, and I have one of them!" With that, the pilot threw open the door and jumped from the plane. Michael Jordan was on his feet in a flash. "Gentlemen," he said, "I am the world's greatest athlete. The world needs great athletes. I think the world's greatest athlete should have a parachute!" With these words, he grabbed one of the remaining parachutes, and hurtled through the door and into the night. Bill Gates rose and said, "Gentlemen, I am the world's smartest man. The world needs smart men. I think the world's smartest man should have a parachute, too." He grabbed one, and out he jumped. The Dalai Lama and the hippie looked at one another. Finally, the Dalai Lama spoke. "My son," he said, "I have lived a satisfying life and have known the bliss of True Enlightenment. You have your life ahead of you; you take a parachute, and I will go down with the plane." The hippie smiled slowly and said, "Hey, don't worry, pop. The world's smartest man just jumped out wearing my backpack." ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 18:10:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Padin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Padin Subject: Re: FLUFF MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Damn', dude.

If so, do you > like it and would you recommend it? > > Jeff Jeff, I have been with Airtouch/Verizon for many years now, and have been through many iterations of different phones. Currently I am using a Samsung SCH-850 flip phone that has the wireless mobile internet service, and it is pretty cool. It is my understanding (the mobile web phones) can only access web site written for mobile web browsers. I have used it to retrieve directions, and movie info, and such, but I have to admit, it is more like a toy, than a necessity, for me at least. I find currently I am using my laptop, more than ever, so I if I have any web browsing to do, I do it from my laptop. I got tired of not being able to get to any web site with WWW/LX, and with IE 5.5, and my laptop, I have no limits. As far as the mobile web, I guess if you had to have it, and you didn't mind paying the airtime, then you might like it. For a long time, I was paying an extra $9.99 per month to have unlimited weekends, so lengthy browsing on the weekends would be affordable, but I found I was not using that many weekend minutes, so I am now on the cheapest plan I can be on, using the discount I get from being a GM Men's Club employee, I think I pay $0.13 peak, and $0.10 off-peak, and my average bill runs about $40-50 per month, using my phone anytime, anywhere, but I don't spend much time on the mobile web. Also I believe there is a slightly different rate for the mobile web airtime, something like $0.12 peak or non-peak, at least on my plan. Hope this helps, and if I can answer any further questions, let me know.

I wasn't doing anything unusual. It was fine last night. When I turned it on this morning it wasn't doing anything right, in DOS. I rebooted it and my topcard was gone--it was asking me who I was, etc. I rebooted again (CTRL-left shift-on) and got my topcard back. But I couldn't use the backspace key in DOS. That's a killer--the MAIN use of the machine is my "everything" file, which requires constant editing. This is just a plain text file. We're not going to the moon here. I have also lost the use of the memory card. I had it for a brief time but now it won't come back. It is always not found, no matter what drive I ask for. And just about every command I issue it says there is an invalid drive in the search path and that drive F: is not found. Since I haven't installed either PCMCIA desktop card reader yet, I can't look at the card contents to see if it is bad (4MB SanDisk). When I get home I can cable transfer the critical files to either of two desktops (assuming DOS doesn't trip me up there). I have a backup of the C: drive at home, on another memory card (10MB SanDisk). But no good if the 200LX doesn't recognize it. I think the C: drive will have to be reformatted with CTRL- left shift-on, but I'm not doing that until I am sure I have the files I need elsewhere. Then I'll reformat it and hopefully transfer everything back to it from the card. Oh yeah--I used chkdsk /f, and it said there were bad clusters, etc., and it was going to make 45683243 files out of lost chains or something like that--a completely wacky scenario. The main batteries has been in the 90% range. I swapped in a fresh set when the trouble started, just to be safe. The backup battery, which I replaced last time it crashed a couple of weeks ago, is 99% (it was 95% then). This is a single speed 200LX, originally 1MB, modified internally for 5MB. I have cooked up a workaround by using Memo instead of my usual DOS text editor, so I can stay at school and work for the rest of the day. This is not the level of reliability I expected from the 200LX. My only thought is perhaps I should have held out for a factory 4MB model--that the upgrade from 1MB to 5MB is flaky.

This used to happen on a system that finally broke down and had to get fixed so it was probably a hardware issue. I used to recharge batteries in the unit and have since decided to just burn through alkalines. It's just not worth the heat issues that can lead to hardware failure. >-----Original Message----- >From: Mark Shields İmailto:beamsplitter@JUNO.COM¨ >Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 11:17 AM >To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu >Subject: İHPLX-L¨ another 200LX crash > > >My 200LX has crashed again, but in a weirder way.

Blankenship" Subject: Re: another 200LX crash Comments: To: Mark Shields MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Mark, The concept to follow here is to determine if the 200LX is malfunctioning. After you remove all the recoverable data to one of your desktops, remove all cards and the batteries from the unit, press and hold the power button for about a minute. This should be sufficient to completely clear the machine. Restore the batteries in the machine and load the drivers for the extra RAM. Format the C:\ drive. I would be hesitant to load up this drive until I tested it for a little while, a day or so. I would certainly not insert the quirky PCMCIA card until I was positive that the 200LX hardware is not part of the problem. I had something similar happen to me on my old stock 4 meg unit. I had a program that I just had to see if it would run on the 200LX. Suffice it to say, this program, after I tried to debug its configuration file, corrupted all the data on my C:\ drive as well as itself. My config.sys and autoexec.bat looked more like binary code than ascii text. I would start with a freshly initialized 200LX with only a basic config.sys and autoexec.bat and run it for a day or so just to see if the 200LX is stable. Maybe one of your drivers is corrupt or some other software has been corrupted and could be causing this problem. Start with fresh copies of all your drivers and software. If it turns out that this is sufficient to determine if the 200LX is stable, reload some of your software and test it for a time. Load more until you are certain it is not a software problem. Download them if you have to. If the 200LX is stable for a couple of days, insert the PCMCIA card and run FDISK100. Format the card and transfer and run programs from it. This will let you know if this card is causing problems. > I have a backup of the C: drive at home, on another memory > card (10MB SanDisk). But no good if the 200LX doesn't recognize > it. I would consider the backup questionable as far as you drivers and software might be concerned. I would recommend starting from scratch. This is just a feeling that I have .

I agree. I have three of them. Two of which I need to send to Thaddeus for upgrades. One need case repairs or replacement parts. The point is, if you think the 200LX is in need of repair, don't hesitate to send it to Thaddeus. They have a flat fee of $125.00 to repair the unit. This is really cheap to be able to use the 200LX. Replace it with one of the newer palmtops on the market? I don't think so. There isn't a palmtop on the market that can touch the functionality and flexibility of the 200LX.

There were many useful concepts. I think the cause of the crash, which was different from the previous one, was leaving DOS LapLink in memory for a long period (crash caused by software). I, in the mad rush to start the new school year, forgot the command to turn DOS LapLink off, and left it on (rebooting will clear it, but I didn't). DOS, of course, keeps on running even when the 200LX is turned off. I did use the technique of removing the batteries and holding down the ON button for 60 seconds. This, after reboot using CTRL-left shift-on, which wasn't severe enough, apparently. So far it isn't really working. XCOPY (with /s switch, which I already knew, and /v switch) halts either with an 'access denied' error message or with 'invalid path.' Ir does not copy all of the files, as it did after the last crash. This computer is really sick. My files are intact on the 4MB SanDisk card, and the older ones on the 10MB SunDisk. They are also on the hard drive of my IBM 9577 Bermuda. But the 200LX still isn't working right. I'm sure I can make it function after a fashion. The more severe remedies will have to wait until after I can either fix the 100LX myself or ship it off to Thaddeus. I think the 200LX will hobble along until then.

I checked out the free Digital Paths service and it looks like it would indeed be invaluable for those surfing the web on palmtops. It offers much better access to information on the web for palmtops by retrieving, reformatting, and delivering those reformatted web pages to palmtop computers in real time. I discovered two problems for those accessing that service with Nettamer: 1. The URL input field on the HP200.htm page was too short. I contacted one of Digital Paths' tech support guys and worked closely with him (until he was admitted to a local hospital for surgery) to get the HTML input size parameter on the HP200.htm page set to an acceptable length to accommodate longer URL inputs, while also ensuring that Nettamer could support the final length designation. 2. When accessing the Digital Paths service with Nettamer and requesting a web page, the service seems to return a "Not Found" error message, no matter what URL is ordered. It appears to be a problem on their end, but he ran out of time to figure out the problem before his operation. He now has a copy of the palmtop version of Nettamer that he will install on his home desktop computer and experiment with in a DOS window when he gets back home and is feeling better. It's my hope that he will find the problem on his end and will be able to fix it for us. I'll let you all know if/when he is able to fix the problem. Cheers! John Vander Stel Grand Rapids, Michigan BTW, Juno currently offers advertisement free convenience software for the Palm VII to access Juno email, and it's a free download from Juno's website. However, Juno does not yet offer comparable convenience software for WinCE or DOS based palmtops. I'm getting very close to gaining that access from my HP200LX. I now have Juno web access with Nettamer. All I really need now is a way to successfully use the Juno Webmail site to access my Juno email from my HP200LX. It appears that Nettamer may have a bug that prevents one from seeing the "Log in" button on Juno's webmail site, but the author of Nettamer is currently in the hospital, as well. I'm hoping that Nettamer (alone or with Digital Paths' help) will eventually make that "Log in" button on Juno's webmail site visible and selectable. :-) ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Pretty much true, except that HP used it on a number of portable computers too: 71, 75, 110 aka Portable, and Portable Plus; and they had plug-in adapters for ISA bus PCs (Vectras of course) and HP 150s. I wouldn't bother trying to figure out how to use it with the 100/200LX. > As a matter of fact I have an HP-IL interface module in mint > condition in the original box with manuals that is free to a good > home when one presents itself.

While I do have a 41C on my desk (for when I'm sitting at the desk without the 200LX handy, need a calculator to check my arithmetic, and am too lazy to go get the 200LX), I think I'll pass -- if I want to do HP-IL spelunking I'll probably use a Portable Plus; I'm afraid I've gotten spoiled by computers with QWERTY keyboards. Yes, I use Portable Pluses for things. Sometimes it's good to have something that can take umpteen hours of typing on something resembling a real keyboard without being tethered to a wall outlet. The Tandy Model 100 folks have figured this out too, there's still an active community of Model 100 users. Will things be any different for the 100/200LX in 10 years' time? Frankly, I kind of hope so: I hope someone has seen fit to bring out a suitable replacement by then. -Frank McConnell ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2000 12:28:55 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: 200LX crash/memory upgrade Message-Id: <20000826162904.PLAL13787.mtiwmhc24.worldnet.att.net@İ12.72.154.123¨> Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2000 16:29:09 +0000 The earlier smaller memory upgrades (to 8mb, I believe) did not require drivers to be usable... that's what I have (2mb upgraded to 6mb) and probably what Mark has.

I did pull the batteries out overnight (60 seconds didn't do it), pulled everything off both memory cards, and reformatted them. Put software back on the reformatted C: drive from earlier sources, not copied from the cards. Minimal setup right now, although everything else was a bunch of games which I rarely use--don't think they caused it, although they might well have gotten corrupted. While I was at it I cleaned things up and instituted a simpler backup procedure, avoiding the use of xcopy so as to save power and any possible memory problems during its use. It's working fine for now. Thanks again! Mark -/\_/\- ( o o ) ===¬=== ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

No I am not here for the Olympics, but I was once again so impressed with the versatility of this palmtop that I have to rave about it. In Israel I am a customer of an ISP called Netvision and I have subscribed to their Global romaing service. This means that I can theoretically travel all over the world and use local ISP's to get onto the internet for a 0.25c on each call (something like that. Anyway Netvision have a page on their site which has a script where you select a city and it gives you the ISP numbers etc. There is also a WIN95 app you can use for dialing. Neither of these really suit me. BUT They also have a CSV list with the data for all the ISP's. Great! I downloaded the CSV file, (1.2Mb) threw out everything except Australia and Thaliand and used GDBLOAD to load it into an ISP data base which I wrote which had all the fields in it. So now I have a database - all I needed was to write 2 smart clips for the data base - one for the LXTCP config file with the DNS servers and another with the CHAT scripts. All I had to do (on the plane) was select an ISP. Smart clip the data into memo and I had the scripts to connect. I set up a couple for each city, and it even works! (In Thailand and in Melbourne so far!) Shameless plug! - I am also using 200Mnu to select which ISP I want to use from each place I am, so it is really painless to use. ----------------------------=----------------------------- David Becher Home: davidb@netmedia.net.il Work: davidb@cimatron.co.il +972 3 5747193 +972 3 5312136 www.cimatron.co.il ----------------------------=----------------------------- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2000 10:52:46 -0400 Reply-To: jhenry@comcastwork.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: James Henry Subject: Re: PCMCIA modem for Ericsson phone(was: 200LX and mobile phones) Comments: To: Tomas Moberg In-Reply-To: <200008271000.MAA19940@d1o993.telia.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Chris, > > It's DC-23 and it is very kind to the hp200lx batteries.

Hi David & List I Manually changed Daylight time with Sydney as my local and was not asked if I wanted all cities updated..ie the rest of the world revolved around Sydney and I had to change System time by one hour to get Everything Synched..

I used to transfer files to my Mac via MacLink Plus. But it broke a few years ago and I had to backup to a 20MB CF card. I have just bought an iMac DV and have added an USB CF card reader to transfer files from my HP LX200 to the iMac. Worked fine. Besides the backed up data, I have tried transferring a small test batch file to the iMac and back to the HP, and the batch file works afterwards. So I think the files are not corrupted or "Macified" during transfer. The data on the CF dard is put into different directories. However, there is now a problem when I tried to use Filer to delete the data in the CF card after transfer. When I tried to delete the directories, there was an error message saying that some files in the directory are read-only. When I open the directory, no file is visible from Filer. I use the attrib command to turn off "read-only", "hidden", and "archive" of all files in that directory, and I got a new file back containing the names of all the files formerly in the directory. But I was able to delete the directory after deleting that file. This happens to all dirctories being backed up, but if a directory contains more than one subdirectory, it seems that only the first subdirectory is changed. Very strange. The CF card reader is branded Filand, made in Taiwan, but I guess that it is an OEM unit selling under different brands in other places. In short, a generic unit.

Possibly something that the mac creates for each directory? Something like that happens when I use my pcmcia card in my windows laptop - the win machine always seems to create a "recycle bin" directory for the card which win98 sees as a DRIVE and I have to delete it. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 12:03:04 +0200 Reply-To: Tom Bergemann Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tom Bergemann Subject: mindmaping on palmtop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi fellow palmtoppers!

I posted about this a few months ago and mistakenly said timezone.dat is in c:\_dat . Its not ! I just got used to the custom one being there so long I forgot about the default one. Nathalie Bugeaud pointed out she couldn't find it in c:\_dat . I was supposed to send a correction to the list but you know, theres naps to be had and clouds to watch, I lapsed. But I can report that the modified timezone.dat functioned correctly on Sunday when daylight saving came for the BUILT IN cities. I was asked if I wanted the times changed. However for locations ADDED to the database the time remained the same. Its got me stumped. If I pressed enter on the "offending" location then went down to the daylight saving box, didn't make any changes, then exited, a dialog box popped up, I say ok to any changes, then the time at that location is corrected. Hmmm. Here is the standard timezone.dat that lives in d:\_sys : European 3:25-31 6 1:00 9:24-30 6 0:00 Northern 4:1-7 6 1:00 10:25-31 6 0:00 Southern 3:1-7 6 0:00 10:25-31 6 1:00 And here is the customised timezone.dat that lives in c:\_dat on my LX. There is an extra daylight saving category (Australia) and the dates for European daylight saving have been changed a little (maybe someone in Europe can confirm if its correct) : European 3:25-31 6 1:00 10:25-31 6 0:00 Northern 4:1-7 6 1:00 10:25-31 6 0:00 Southern 3:1-7 6 0:00 10:25-31 6 1:00 Australia 3:25-31 6 0:00 8:25-31 6 1:00 I've never seen an explanation of the timezone.dat format so heres my best guess. For the Australia part of it: Australia 3:25-31 6 0:00 10:25-31 6 1:00 The first line is the daylight saving category The 2nd line is the 3rd month, then the last seven days of the month (daylight savings changes seem to be made on the last Sunday in a month), I'm not sure what the 6 is for but I guess its the 6th day of the week so that changes happen after midnight Saturday (I think the official times are normally 1am or 3am or so on the Sunday). Then the time difference in hours:minutes. The 3rd line is the 10th month, then the last seven days of the month (daylight savings changes seem to be made on the last Sunday in a month), again I'm not sure what the 6 is for but I guess its the 6th day of the week so that changes happen after midnight Saturday (I think the official times are normally 1am or 3am or so on the Sunday). Then the time difference in hours:minutes. In this case add an hour to the time. Daylight saving adjustments don't take place until you use World Time on/after the due dates. A dialog box pops up and you need to confirm the change. Timezone.dat lives in d:\sys (not c:\_dat like I said before). Make a backup of your current c:\_dat\timezone.dat if you already use one, you will need this next year . I've put a reminder in my Todos .Copy d:\_sys\timezone.dat to c:\_dat Then edit c:\_dat\timezone.dat to what you want. You can add extra daylight savings categories if you need them to cope with changes from the standard. If you really screw it up, you can delete it. Next time you start World Time it will use the default d:\_sys\timezone.dat . Or if you can be bothered get really fancy, use the new timezone.dat above. Then in World Time make the necessary changes to switch off daylght saving in cities in states that never have daylight saving (QLD, WA & NT). To make things easier for those who may not be familiar with states and their cities, heres a start. City State Adelaide SA Alice Springs NT Brisbane QLD Broken Hill NSW but might follow SA times. Canberra ACT Cocos Is. I think its a dependency. I suppose they don't adopt daylight saving. Darwin NT Govt. House, Lord Howe Is. NSW? I guess they don't adopt daylight saving. Hobart TAS Kingston, Norfolk Is. NSW? I think they don't adopt daylight saving.

The small plastic housing that connects to the bottom of my phone had two small tabs break off. The first tab wasn't too critical, but the second one which broke was essential to the connection. I had been resorting to rubber bands to hold the connector on! Anyway, I visited my local cell phone store, and asked the clerk if he had any ideas. Maybe a new cable? Just a similar housing? Well, he said they no longer sell this cable (my 2-1/2 year old phone is obsolete). But he had some of these housings in the back. He brought one out and just gave it too me. (These housings are used to connect all kinds of accessories to the phone, not just the data card). With just minor surgery, I was able to split apart the new housing along the seam. Ditto, the old broken one. I drilled a hole for the cable to pass through (the new housing didn't use a cable for whatever it's original purpose was). Just threw out the small circuit board from the new housing. Installed the data cable and its small circuit board in the new, modified housing. Used some super-glue to re-seal the two halves... voila! New data cable in perfect condition. Low cost, too. Your cost may vary, depending on the cooperation level of your local sales clerk. At the store, he showed me the new Ericsson CH-888 phone (maybe it was CF?). Anyone on the list using this phone, I would like to talk to them offlist. Apparently this phone is one of the new breed with a built-in serial port modem, therefore not requiring an external interface card. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

If all you need are simple lists, you can always use 123 on the LX and the uploaded WK1 file can be read by Excel. If you need a more featured database like the GDB, you can always upload the GDB to your Win machine and run GDBDUMP/GDBLOAD there to convert the file to/from a CSV (comma separated variables) format which is easily imported by most database programs. I suggest running the conversion on the Win machine only to improve performance ... you can also run those programs (from the SUPER site) on the LX. And there are a host of other database programs (PC-File, Paradox, DBase) whose data is easily read or imported by other Win database programs. Your solution really depends on you needs. Personally, I try not to synch my databases on the LX and my desktop because it adds a layer of uncertainty and risk for which I don't derive significant benefit.

However, the clerk told me that of late, Ericsson, at least, is trying to standardize on a single family of accessories. If true, this is a promising development. I might spring for a new phone and set of accessories if (a) the accessories would be "good" for the next few years as phones continue to evolve, and (b) the data connection is indeed as simple as a serial port modem.

I find that when a Mac works with a DOS diskette, it creates a number of hidden directories and files on that diskette, such as a Trash directory and a directory containing information about the last state of the Mac's desktop. This may be what you are noticing on your CF card. This can sometimes be handy for recovering files that you put in the Mac's trash, then later decided you want back. If it bothers you, however, I believe you can simply ATTRIB the files to a normal state, then delete them.

The modem can be made to dial when inserted in the 200lx using the 1414LXM software, so presumably it will work, if only I had a cable for it. Does anyone on the list know of a source of a modem cable that would fit this unit, or does someone have such a cable or even this modem/cable combination lying around that they'd part with for a reasonable sum? Or will this unit not really work with the '200lx?

Just to ask a little thing: In my timezone.dat there is an extra timezone for Tasmania. It looks like this: 3:25-31 6 0:00 10:1-7 6 1:00 do they still have different DST in Tasmania? The times for the european DST in your file is correct. I wanted also to add a little trick (it is not new and not from me) but it is good: If you want to change automatically your computer time in the HP, it is possible with calling the timezone program on this day. You can create a system makro that does this and call it as a returning event in the appointments program. The HP200 could do this long before Win 95 was born. regards, Werner Thought for the day: The only thing that hurts more than paying income tax is not having to pay income tax. -- PGP-Key: http://www.qsl.net/oe9fwv/oe9fwv.asc SMS: +436646340014@text.mobilkom.at Powered by Pegasus Mail - free at www.pmail.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 6 Aug 2000 20:11:02 -1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , scott wormser Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: scott wormser Subject: Re: 800 floppy? anyone know if this will fit an hp800?? 1.44 EXT FLOPPY FOR THNKPD 760 BLK W/CBL - $35.00 ITEM#...EXT FDD ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Yes, I did get a Trash directory and a Desktop directory, which are standard on the Mac. I just downloaded WWW3 and Post3 with the Mac (HV keeps returning a blank page no matter which URL I try), and transferred it to the HP via the CF card reader. All OK, the programs work perfectly.

The battery life of the Palm would be better than the LX *only* if you use one of the offline readers, such as Avantgo, otherwise battery life for a live connection on a Palm is just horrible (compared to the lx), depending on the modem's draw and source of power (some are self-powered). BTW, the Palm Vx has the worst battery life of all the Palms, even worst than the Palm IIIc (the Palm V is an older model with better battery life and less memory, if you can still find it). Avantgo is extremely neat for offline reading, but I have been trying iSilo, and it has the best display of web pages I have seen (I would call it stunning sometimes), though it is not as easy to use. Avantgo is free, iSilo is shareware. Personally I prefer browsing the web with my Palm and an offline reader than with my desktop, if I know in advance what I want to see. There are other solutions I have not tried, but those two are the most popular ones, I believe. HTH, Domingo BTW: aside from the above and etext reading, the LX is better than the Palm for just about everything else. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 20:22:29 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Subject: Re: ?

It doesn't work via IR at all, that's for sure, because we don't have a fax program available that speaks IrDA. I use QFax with the init string AT&F&C1&D2 (whatever that means - it was the default setting in QFax.) So I tried to use my data cable and QFax. QFax reports: --------- Screen shot with comments --------- Modem reset... FAILED (I think due to false baud rate, because:) Reset again... OK (so initialization seems to be ok, init string s.a.) Initialization OK (good! :-) ) Calss 1 fax/modem detected OK Modem set to Class 1 fax mode Dialing 0721151306690 (my unified messaging fax number) Unknown error 4. Hang Up. (grrrrrrr!) Modem hangs up --------------------------------------------- Is there another init string that I have to use? According to the S35's manual, it supports calss 1 (and only class 1) fax, so the setting of qfax is ok.

From version 5 on, I thought that Pocket Quicken Connect allowed a one-way synchronization. In other words, all the transactions entered in the 200 would be added to the desktop, but only account balances would be updated on the 200. Not nearly as useful, but still helpful. I believe that is how all versions of Pocket Quicken (Palm, etc.) have worked since then. I should just revert to Quicken version 4, but it won't carry mortgages past the year 2027, so a 30 year mortgage with a start date after 1997 isn't correct. I think there are some other y2k issues as well, but if I remember right, they could be worked around pretty easily.

I've used both my 100LX and my 200LX with such a supply, and they still work! However, unregulated supplies tend to give voltages that are much too high. This will cause the onboard electronics to get hot. Heat is the great enemy of computer innards. So I decided to completely avoid an external power supply because I want my machines to last. I always use batteries--1600mAH nickel metal hydrides on a weekly cycle, and Ray-O-Vac Renewal alkalines to fill in when the NiMH's don't quite make it (like today!). Renewals don't self-discharge, which means they will stand by for me indefinitely. They also don't like to be deeply discharged--ruins them quickly (voice of experience :-( ). But using them the way I do they seldom get discharged very far. They will be in the computer until tomorrow night, when I will install my other set of NiMH, which have been charging for a week in a slow charger (old Radio Shack NiCd unit). Then will then get recharged in a Renewal Power Station (this is fast) and returned to my briefcase. As for using a positive tip plug on a power supply, don't risk it. Use a meter and determine polarity, or find someone to do it for you. Cheap insurance. :-) Mark Shields |\ _,,,---,,_ /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ |,4- ) )-,_..;\ ( `'-' '---''(_/--' `-'\_) beamsplitter@juno.com http://www.stmattpitt.org "Let the little children come to Me," Jesus said, "and don't keep them away.
