Due to popular demand, the packages on my download page are no longer
stuffed and BinHex-encoded, so they should be easier to use.

My downloads page is at http://www.mbay.net/~brendah/dloads/

Has anyone ever cabled 2 communicators together with the Magic XChange cables
with a double male DB-9 connector in between? What would happen if you did
this and touched the computer link icons in the storeroom? Could you send
packages back and forth this way? I'm pretty sure you can talk back and forth
this way with Cujoterm or the Magic Connection emulator.

Then you had a much better experience with PersonaLink then I did. I could
only download 10-15 messages at a time before I would be a transient memory
cleanup. This was pretty consistent. I often got connection timeouts
attempting to get mail from PLS. I agree busy signals weren't that common
but did occur. The worst aspect about PLS from my perspective was that it
lost email via its internet gateway. I often sent myself internet mail and
a number of times I had to resend it since it never arrived and no error
indication either.

Subject: Happy with Presto!Mail and !Links


After a week of use, I have to say that I am thoroughly delighted with
Presto!Mail 1.5 and Presto!Links 1.0. This has also been my week of summer
vacation, so I have had ample opportunity to burn up my ISP's modem dialup,
and I have given it my best shot. The only problem that I had with any of it
was on day one, when Presto!Diner kept packing up rather than get my mail.
The last time 3 packages packed up, !Diner, !Mail and !PPP. Resetting all 3
dispelled the problem and it has been smooth ever since. !Links never gave
me any trouble.
Presto!Links is not fast by any stretch of the imagination at 2400 baud.
Neither is it intolerably slow. As a competitor to a desktop browser
application like Netscape Navigator, it will always come in second. It has a
niche, however. Consider this. If you want to look at lots of full color
GIFs, you should be using a PC or MAC based browser anyway. If you wish to
use the PIC and Presto!Links as an information retrieval method, however,
you get quite satisfactory service. The text only retrieval option gets
pages loaded in seconds, and you touch the GIF icons individually to
download them as you wish.  I have started using my PIC1000 in ways that I
never thought possible when I purchased it. Here is one thing that is a
plus, and a big part of the niche that these products allow the
communicators to fill. Everywhere you go anymore you see print and video
ads, and even billboards that have a URL included where you can view a HTML
ad. I used to jot them down on scraps of paper, and later in the ML's
notebook. Now I type it in on the Go To line in the Presto!Links vertical
toolbar, and when I hook up later (usually when I hit the front door at
home!)Presto!Links grabs the page. And it uses all of the search engines
I've tried without a hitch.
Now all I need is a cybercafe with free refills- They will never get me out
of there!

Subject: Re: Presto!Mail Presto!Links


Leo

Links & Mail are great packages.  There' re bugs that need fixing and
enhancements I'd like to see, but nothing that I'd consider major.
 However, I do sympathize with PIC-1000 users.  I'd probably get very
frustrated with a 2400 baud modem and 1MB RAM.  I'll probably buy another
2MB SRAM card to keep all the web pages and mail I'm putting in the file
cabinet.   I currently use Ecco Pro as a desktop PIM, but am looking
forward to MCW.  It'll be great to use the same program on the PIC and the
desktop.

I originally got the ML for my wife who's a graphic artist.  She hates
command lines and wasn't happy with the Boss or Wizard.  She loves the ML
and finds it very easy to use.  The surprise is that I like it too.  You're
right when you say the PIC is a PDA, not a laptop or notebook.  I look at
it as a high powered organizer (read overkill), with communications that
previously required a notebook or laptop.  The communications capabilities
are great now that there's internet access.  I don't need to carry around a
laptop to stay in touch anymore.  The laptop is now only needed when I
really need to do computing or access my network.  Now that I've got access
to the internet, the only other thing that's on my list is a fax receive
package.

I'd like to hear how you (and other users) are using (or plan on using)
PICs.  My wife is a wedding consultant who's using it to make appointments
with clients and take notes.  She uses the notepad to draw layouts for
receptions and invitation designs and puts the pages on the client's
namecard.  It impresses her clients and she even gets them to "sign" their
name to pages.  She then faxes the approved layouts and designs to our home
computer.  At home, she calls up the fax, copies the sketches to a graphics
program and completes the design work.

Mike,

Glad to hear someone speak highly of PL & PM for a change. I too have
used it
with great success for about 2 months. I had nooo problem setting it up
to talk
to my ISP (world.std.com) who by the way has an on-ramp from MSN (so I
can
access local numbers in town and MSN POP's from out of town). I wish
some
of the folks on this list would remember that a couple months ago none
of this
internet connectivity was possible at all. It is the first rev of a
product and I would
expect there to be some difficulties. All in all I think the PL & PM
software is great.
Good job guys.  BTW) I think some of the people on this list have lost
sight of the
fact that this is a PIC not a laptop/PC there is a BIG difference.

 -LeoD
Happy as a clam with my ML.

They have not been actively pursuing MSN for the better part of 5 months now.
 They are instead focusing on Iexplorer.

AOL is not pushing anything....they have ben looking for an alternative to
their browser, and chose IE.  The nice thing about AOL 3.0 is that you can
use the browser of your choice effortlessly, and they tell you so.  Just
minimize AOL and open up your browser.

Well, I posted a message on teh list the other day explaining that my AC
adaptor wasn't working.  So, I took some of the advice and went to radio

picked up the set with the compatable tip.  I got home, raced to my

happeneing.  I don't have any aaa bateries, so I can't tell if the
