I'll believe it's easier for me, but I wonder if screen speakers (audio output aid for the blind) can read your text when you don't put it thru a spell checker. JM> anyway .. that is one of the real reasons why fidonet forbids the JM> use of hi ascii in echomail and netmail ... Fidonet does not forbid the use of "hi ascii" in echomail or in netmail. Maybe the effort put into writing and deciphering your message could have been avoided entirely if you'd put it thru a fact checker. But what you say about it not displaying correctly on some systems is true. --- PPoint 2.00 * Origin: Home of TV Agent (1:3615/50.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 106 DISCUSS INTERNET Ref: F1H00009Date: 01/11/98 From: LAWRENCE LUCIER Time: 12:58pm \/To: BRUCE LEGRANDE (Read 0 times) Subj: 2b *&%^$@$&##& ????

FWIW, in my copy of P4 there is no reference to ASCII at all.........permission to post messages containing ASCII is done on an echo by echo basis and is purely up to the discression of the echo's moderator(s). --- Sqed/32 1.14/r15155 * Origin: T-Shirts 'N Genes BBS - (250) 748-3408 v32b v42b XA CM (1:340/204) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 106 DISCUSS INTERNET Ref: F1H00010Date: 01/11/98 From: LAWRENCE LUCIER Time: 04:23pm \/To: WES LEATHEROCK (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: 2b *&%^$@$&##& ????

Hmmm......you might request the echo(s) but that is no gaurentee that you will receive them even if you are set up as a point system. If the system you are pointing off has to pay long distance charges to pick up it's mail then I would imagine the sysop of said system would have something to say about it! Really though, setting up as a point system is just a conveinient way for some people to grab their mail from an existing BBS system without actually having to logon to the BBS system itself and mucking around with mail doors etc............just because a person is pointing off a FidoNet system (or any other net AFAIK for that matter) it doesn't automatically follow that they are eligable to start pulling in any Fidonet echos other than what thier feed provides. Hope this helps..........:-) --- Sqed/32 1.14/r15155 * Origin: T-Shirts 'N Genes BBS - (250) 748-3408 v32b v42b XA CM (1:340/204) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 106 DISCUSS INTERNET Ref: F1H00012Date: 01/11/98 From: LAWRENCE LUCIER Time: 05:04pm \/To: IAN RAY (Read 0 times) Subj: Uploading your webpages Ian Ray @ 1:259/416 wrote on 12-28-97 12:28 about *Uploading your webpages* IR> It seems CuteFTP will not log in to my Internet Provider so I could upload my webpage.

If you are looking for a straight forward text base ftp client then you might want to check out NcFtp which runs on a variety of OS platforms. :-) PS.......have you tried accessing your web page thru command line ftp (if your operating system allows command line ftp, that is)........if you try it that way it might give you a better idea of where CuteFtp is failing. Also if your ISP provides a terminal server mode, then use it to try and access your web page....to find out if they do provide terminal server mode either, phone and ask them, or use your regular BBS'ing com program to call them up. Once you have entered in your name and password, you should be able to access some sort of terminal server menu. Check to see if it offers a ftp session (most terminal servers do) and if it does, then look up the on-line help to see how it operates. :-) --- Sqed/32 1.14/r15155 * Origin: T-Shirts 'N Genes BBS - (250) 748-3408 v32b v42b XA CM (1:340/204) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 106 DISCUSS INTERNET Ref: F1H00013Date: 01/12/98 From: BEN POPPY Time: 01:49am \/To: PAUL HELDT (Read 0 times) Subj: SUBMIT QUERY Yes you are more then able to do this.. However, instead of writing a lengthy reply as to how to do this, i will tell you how you can learn how to do it.. This is a CGI(Common Gateway Interface) program that must be written.. And the total program that would need to be written would be contained in both a .HTML file and a .CGI file.. I suggest you go to your local bookstore, and purchase a 'Programming in CGI' book.. There are many that are in good price ranges, They also tell you how to make online catalogs, and other nifty little tools like that..

FR>Fred from Maryland FR>I don't have internet access, so does anyone know where I can get FR>internet access for FREE? (Besides the library) I use Juno too, and I think it would be safe to delete all the subdirectories in the ads folder. Because about every other time you log onto Juno, more adveratisements are downloaded automatically, and sometimes you can wind up with a whole lot of ads from a long time ago because sometimes Juno doesn't delete the old ads automatically. However, these ads are something you most likely won't need to worry about, because they may only be taking up about 2MB hard drive space. If you delete those ads, Juno will just put new ads in there place, and they will just build up again. I don't even bother sending feedback to Juno, because of their automated reply system. If you have a friend that has the Interent or know of a place that has I'net access, do a search at Yahoo, AltaVista, WebCrawler, And Excite for the keyword Free Interent. I've seen some info on some free interent services on TV, but those services are no longer accepting new users because they don't have the bandwidth to hold that many users. Also, most small ISPs usually have an acount that gives you something like 50 hours for $10 a month. Just check around. --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: Sound Doctrine BBS (303) 680-7209 - Aurora, CO, USA (1:104/514) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 106 DISCUSS INTERNET Ref: F1H00015Date: 01/13/98 From: BUD JAMISON Time: 06:24am \/To: DAY BROWN (Read 0 times) Subj: 2b *&%^$@$&##& ???? -> I note, that we are in the vast majority.

There ARE still people using other machines, where the 'upper' 127 characters do wierd things, like clearing the screen, or even rebooting.
