Dear Magic,

I had the exact same problems, but found out it was my Internet service
provider(Earthlink).  I tried Netcom, but though the connection was more
reliable the number was always busy. Because they are all inherently evil, I
think they tend to dump slower connections during peak use (even the 2000
rarely hits 14.4).  I would get timeout and ppp authentication errors, or
unable to connect to pop server.  Try it at an off time and see if it
connects.  Increase your timeout settings.  Reinstall.  Pray.

My problems aren't as bad but they are still inconvenient.

I am unable to collect a summary of my mail.  P!Mail will start checking then either when trying to go from the 3rd to the 4th or 4th to the 5th message it will "Stall/Hang" and I will have to stop it.  Then I have to immediately turn it off otherwise if I try to go somewhere/do something, ie go to the desk, I will hear the long beep followed by a long cleanup.  I don't have a problem with !Links or if I go to the Inbox and tap the mail button I can collect everything but then I worry that I might run out of Transient memory.  I have called twice.  I did what he said to do the first time.  Yesterday when I called they said they would have to get back with me.  We'll see what happens.

Subject: Presto Mail

I too had lots of trouble logging into my ISP. I always got an PPP
authentication error. I talked to Active Paper several times, but as I was
the only person having this trouble (They say) they were UN-WILLING to help
me. I went to my ISP and we tried a few things but I just could not log in,
each time I tried my SML would send my user name and then two or three trash
chacters, at that point it was all over.

I thought that perhaps Presto Mail was just not going to work on a PIC-1000,
so I bought a PIC-2000 and installed the software again, it did the same
thing. (Now I am really mad) I called another ISP and set up a demo account
for a few days. I was able to log in to them just fine. Now I know the
trouble is with my ISP, so I called them and went over to thier office, I
loaned them my PIC-1000 so that they could get to the bottom of it. While in
his office we found that we could use the logging script stamp in Presto, we
edited it a bit and PRESTO I am now able to loggin to his system 100% of the
time. Works on both my PIC-1000 and 2000. I have left the 1000 with him for
a few days, as he wants to really get to the bottom of it. I should not have
to use the login in script.

Anyway I am very happy to have it working, I also have been doing a lot with
it via my cellular phone, last week I went walking around my office as I was
surfing on the web, I went office to office showing my co-workers differnet
web cams around the world. It was really cool... (WIRELESS is my job)

Go to a stationary supply store and buy a pack of Static Vinyl report
covers and a razor blade, then spend a few minutes cutting one to size.
This is the same stuff that most commercial screen protectors are made
of, and the price is alot less.

Subject: PIC-1000 crashed hard

Hi,

I have a PIC-1000 which appears to be completely hung up. The crash
happened after I installed and started playing around with DoodleMeister
(which I installed using UUDecode 0.981).

I was testing DM out on a notebook page, then I discarded it to the
trash, but then I changed my mind and slid the notecard out of the
dumpster right after it went in. When I was looking at the page, I
noticed that it was longer, more extended, than it had been when I threw
it away. I started hitting the arrow button to go down the page when I
noticed that there was no spiral graphic drawn next to it. Just at that
moment the PIC crashed. The screen showed just a series of vertical black
bars and there was a constant beeping, like the sound made when you turn
it on or off.

Nothing I could do would turn it off or stop the beeping. I tried
holding the power switch for a while. I tried it with the option button.
I even tried resetting, but the only thing that turned it off was
removing the battery cover. Now I can turn it on, but all I get is the
screen of bars, and no sound. If I hit the reset button I hear a beep but
nothing else happens.

Here's the things I had installed on my system. UUDecode, Steve's Mail
Tools, Quoter, Safe Erase Button, Alarmed Again and DoodleMeister. I was
using Magic Cap 1.0f.

Unfortunately I just recently got the PIC and I didn't have any way to
make a backup. But the only important thing lost was one notecard, and my
PersonaLink information.

I'm hoping that someone here might know if anything is possible besides
pulling the batteries. If I do that, what will happen to my PersonaLink
account?

Thanks.

Subject: PIC-1000 crashed hard

Your PLink account is probably toast. If you had a full backup stored
on a mem card or on your desktop via Magic XChange, you could restore
from backup, which would overwrite any corruption that may be fouling
your system. Also, if you had a mem card and Eternity, you could pull
the batteries and restore the PLink info. Without any of the above,
your choices are trying the reset button, which is a small pinhole on
the underside of the case, and if that doesn't work then I'm out of
suggestions other than cold booting and resubscribing to PLink. Anybody
have any other ideas?
P.S.> Magic XChange is so cheap right now that if I were you I would
spend the $41.00 total including shipping and guarantee that I wouldn't
be caught out there without a backup again. Call PCZone and
order-1-800-258-2088.  P.P.S.> No I do not work for them; I'm still
doing cartwheels over the quality of their service. Shipping was cheap
and I had it next day without paying next-day-air prices.

This works good, but if you cant find this material, then Condoms are ok.
But be sure to get the un-lubricated kind.

What is Steves Mail??????

The only thing I can think of is, I think there is a package called Steves
mail tools, or something like that. If this is what you are looking for try
the spies web site at www.spies.com

Also it would be of great help to thoses of us that you seek help from. If
in the future would provide more info on what you are looking for.

As you can see from the copy of your orginal message 6 words is a bit vague!

  Are you using a SRAM card?  I recommend removing the battery cover to
shut the device off, and remove the RAM card and then turn on the
device.  Doodlemeister seemed to give me a similar problem a long time
ago, so I stopped using it.  Its really just meant to be a code
demonstration above all, and as is most of the quickly written freeware,
its a 'use at your own risk' kinda thing.  If my guess it right, you'll
find the unit will power up without the RAM card, and go back into
spasms as soon as you insert it.  You'll have to erase everything on
your card if this is the case, by holding down the option button while
inserting the card with the power on.

  The good news is your personalization, including PLink, should be ok
if it turns out to be the SRAM card.  The bad news is of course,
everything on the card is gone.

You should not have to use a log in script. If your ISP uses PAP or CHAP.
Take it out and try it again.

Unfortunately since I just bought the PIC a few months ago I hadn't
gotten around to buying an SRAM card or Magic XChange. I ended up pulling
the batteries and re-signing up for PLink. I guess I won't play around
with too many packages until I'm able to do backups.

I was using the PIC to keep a journal, and fortunately I had just
uuencoded all my entries except for one day, and mailed them to a
seperate account. And I still had paper copies of most of my name cards.

It could have been worse.

Hopefully it won't be a hassle to close my old account and have the mail
forwarded to the new one.

WAITTTTTTT...  I don't have time to get into the details right now, but
try to write protect your sram card, and then backup all packages
BEFORE yoy reset your sram card.

Random problems that I've been having in PrestoMail/Links:

        1.  Random PPP authentication problems.  Sometimes it works,
            sometimes it doesn't.

        2.  Choking on the first mail message in my mailbox.  It'll
            say "Checking message 1", then pause, then "stopping"
            Repeated attempts will allow me to access my mail.

        3.  Random problems connecting to websites - PrestoLinks
            will retrieve anywhere from 1k to 12k, but not display
            anything, and just hang.  This happens on web-sites
            that I *know* are not busy (such as my own)...

However, when it works, it works, and nicely too.  I hope that these bugs
get ironed out soon...

Hi Nancy,

I was in the Beta program for PrestoLinks/Mail and just want to say that
I've appreciated all the help you offered.  Everyone should remember that
PrestoLinks is pretty revolutionary - a handheld *graphical* web-browser
with PPP capabilities...  there are bound to be problems, especially when
you consider the sheer number of ISPs, each one requiring a slightly
different configuration.  I've experienced nothing but positive responses
from both Active Paper and General Magic, and want to thank you for the
product.  It may be buggy at the moment, but at the very least it is a
step in the right direction.

I stand somewhat corrected: You Nancy were very helpful in your capatice as
a representative of Active Paper. When my ISP spoke with the people at
General Magic they were UN-WILLING to help, they told my ISP that they were
not interested in a test account, because I was the only one having this
type of trouble.

That was the last I heard from ANYONE on this subject, I was just out in the
cold. Thanks to my ISP who was WILLING to help me I am now able to log in.
