I have not changed my terminal settings (Kermit, mskermit.ini and
mscustom.ini) and I just checked and it is still set for use with an attached
printer ('uncomment this line if you do not have an attached printer' is not
uncommented). The exact same software was working and now is not. I have
a printer switch (I think it was working with that AB switch before) but my
friend does not even have that and her printer is a different model.
Are other people able to print with Y in Pine?
Russ, do you know how to 'debug' a modem?

I just tried printing with 'Y' in Pine and it worked. I'm using TeraTerm
Pro version 2.3.

Thanks, I will give it another try with Kermit. Did anyone change any
settings in Pine in the past couple of months?

You fixed it! Today Pine prints with Y, not just PrtScn. Maybe something
screwy was happening with the Printer AB switch box. Jim had a file transfer
cable connect via it. Thanks for checking.

*sigh* I am having problems sending mail via Pine with
HyperTerminal. Is it because my Grex settings and HyperTerminal
settings are not to the same terminal type?
i.e., how do I check preferences in Grex?

Re printing, my friend with the angels says Pine is printing on her printer
but choosing which lines to print, not all of them. I suggesting trying a
different printer.

Re #16: Try typing in "nslookup <IP address>". It gives me nothing.

'which' nslookup ?
Russ, try looking up the IP galenas did, and try entering the address
you are trying so galenas can try it.

Good idea; wish I'd thought of it:
} grex.cyberspace.org% whereis nslookup
} nslookup: /usr/lib/nslookup.help /usr/local/bin/nslookup \
} /usr/etc/nslookup.FCS /usr/etc/nslookup
} grex.cyberspace.org% l /usr/local/bin/nslookup /usr/etc/nslookup
} -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 113632 Dec 4 1998 /usr/etc/nslookup*
} -rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 90112 Dec 8 1995 \
} /usr/local/bin/nslookup*
} grex.cyberspace.org% which nslookup
} /usr/local/bin/nslookup
} grex.cyberspace.org%
But:
} grex.cyberspace.org% /usr/etc/nslookup 141.213.231.101
} Server: localhost
} Address: 127.0.0.1
}
} Name: coll.staff.itd.umich.edu
} Address: 141.213.231.101
}
} grex.cyberspace.org%

Re #21: I've had nothing but trouble with HyperTerminal's VT100 emulation.
You might want to try a better terminal program, like TeraTerm Pro (which is
free).

Kermit is shareware and does excellent VT100 and VT320 etc.

yeh, look for tterm23 on google ... five pages of returns.
it's the smartest, smoothest telnet AND serial/dialup pgm that
mdw ever referenced. (i listen to mdw)

aside from teraterm, i have noticed a situation that may or
may not be a problem, but it's surely a nuisance.
when i nroff a file, the resultant file has 30 or more blank
lines appended to the text. (no, they weren't in the original, smartie)
this action has been consistant - is this a feature, bug, or user error?

I've noticed a problem with paging recently. I think what may be happening
is that a clear screen sequence is being issued at the end of a file (or
standard input) being displayed. What this results in is not being able to
see the last screenful of responses in an item (and the summary of a
conference as I enter the conference). While I recently had to reinstall my
terminal software (TeraTerm SSH), I am fairly certain that the change in
behavior happened significantly after that reinstallation (as in it worked
for a few logins after reinstalling and then broke).
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Re #30: I don't use nroff much, but it sounds like the blank
lines might be filler to bring the document to a fixed number of
lines per page. That is, a feature.

Except that the filler causes me to see nothing of the last page except the
prompt. That seems buggy to me.

I've found the problem. It's because I set a twit filter. Something in the
options being passed to less caused it; changing "less -dE -P" to "more -d"
fixed it.

Another possibility is to not use the -d switch with less. "man less" may
help you tweak your pager. (I'm not willing to do without less. ;)

less has some really obnoxious default behaviors.. You can make it
behave properly (i.e. like "more") but then what's the point? I rarely
seem to use the less-dependant features..

I found it easier to switch back to the paging program that had been in use
before setting the twit filter than to tweak settings.

I usually rely on my terminal program to scroll backwards; it gives
you even more control, as you can bind whatever keys you wish to the scrolling
and usually goes back further and even outside of a specific context.
