Yeah, I'm not sure if I mentioned this in my review of Presto!Stuff, but if
you have to reset your communicator, if Presto!Whatever is installed, it
won't let you use your communicator as long as those packages are there, in
an odd form of piracy protection. You'll ave to completely remove the
packages and reinstall them. Or restore from a backup.

Subject: Any PenCell wizards out there?
Hello,
Before I spend a few hours wrestling with PenCell I
figured I'd ask here first. Is there any way to format/program
a cell in PenCell so it will respond in a specified fashion when
it is tapped? I want to be able to tap a cell and have it filled
with the current time.
While I'm here I'll go ahead and explain what I'm trying
to make in case someone has already taken care of this for
me. I work as a consultant so I need a way to track hours
on different projects. Ideally I'd like to have something
like this:
| Date | project id | start | end | hours | Description
+-------+------------+-------+-------+-------+--------------+
| | | | | | |
+-------+------------+-------+-------+-------+--------------+
| | | | | | |
If I eventually get good enough at programming in MagicCap
I think I'll try to add this as an appointment type in the
Datebook and add some tools for generating reports from entries
in this format.
Perhaps an even better addition to the little MagicCap office
would be a punchclock and some time cards that could be personalized
for each project! I hate having cool ideas and not yet having the
ability to realize them!

Yes I did have the rule set. But I assumed that it wouldn't matter when
downloading packages. Plus, in terms of Web pages at least, I am always
prompted if the page is going to exceed the limit and do I want to retrieve it
anyway. I assume if it does go by this rule that the same thing would happen
when downloading packages.

You may want to consider the following before getting a PCMCIA modem
for your MLink:
o The only PCMCIA modem driver currently available is the Sony Wireless
Connection kit, which supports about a handful of modems. Oh, it's
$50 or so for something that really should have been built into
the device in the first place.
o The Wireless modem thing has tons of overhead. I doubt there'd be
much difference between 14.4 and 28.8. Several tests have suggested
that the performance using the Wireless thing isn't much faster than
the 2400 bps modem on the PIC-1000. I've gotten a 14.4 external to
work on a PIC-1000 and it was barely faster than the 2400 bps internal.
o There will be PCMCIA modem support someday, but it'll be on a package-
by-package basis.
I personally find it hard to believe that GM or whomever can't
create a simple package that adds PCMCIA and external modem support
at speeds comparable to the internal PIC modems. It doesn't speak too
well of Magic Cap's design if this can't be done.

Subject: NEED FAST CASH? HERE'S HOW!
Hello! I've got some awesome news that I think you need to take two
minutes to read if you have ever thought "How could I make some
serious cash in a hurry???" , or been in serious debt, ready to do
almost anything to get the money needed to pay off those bill
collectors. So grab a snack, a warm cup of coffee, or a glass of your
favorite beverage, get comfortable and listen to this interesting,
exciting find!
Let me start by saying that I FINALLY FOUND IT! That's right!. I
found it! And I HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate those schemes
like multi-level marketing, mail-order schemes, envelope stuffing
scams, 900 number scams... the list goes on forever. I have tried
every darn get rich quick scheme out there over the past 12 years. I
somehow got on mailing lists for people looking to make money (more
like 'desperate stupid people who will try anything for money!').
Well, when I was a teenager, these claims to 'get me rich quick'
sounded irresistible! I would shell out $14.95 here, $29.95 there,
$24.95 here, and another $49.95 there. I had maxed out my new Circuit
City Card AND my Visa...I was desperate for money!! So, I gave them
all a chance but failed at every one of them! Maybe they worked for
some people, but not for me. Eventually, I just tossed that JUNK MAIL
in the trash when I got the mail. I recognized it right away. I can
smell a money scam from a mile away these days, SO I THOUGHT....
I thought I could sniff out a scam easily. WAS I WRONG!! ....I LOVE
THE INTERNET!!!
I was scanning thru a NEWSGROUP and saw an article stating to
GET CASH FAST!! I thought..."Here on the Internet?? Well, I'll just
have to see what schemes could possibly be on the internet." The
article described a way to MAIL A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLE
AND MAKE $50, 0000 IN CASH WITHIN 4 WEEKS! Well, the more I thought
about it, the more I became very curious. Why? Because of the way it
worked AND BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY COST ME FIVE DOLLARS (AND FIVE
STAMPS), THAT'S ALL I EVER PAY....EVER!!
Ok, so the $50,000 in cash was maybe a tough amount to reach, but
it was possible. I knew that I could at least get a return of $1,000
or so. So I did it!! As per the instructions in the article, I mailed
out ('snail mail'for you e-mail fanatics) a single dollar bill to each
of the five people on the list that was contained in the article. I
included a small note, with the dollar, that stated "Please Add Me To
Your List." I then removed the first position name of the five names
listed and moved everyone up one position, and I put my name in
position five of the list. This is how the money starts rolling in!
I then took this revised article now with my name on the list and
REPOSTED IT ON AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL BULLETIN BOARD
MESSAGE AREAS THAT I KNEW (200 minimum.) I then waited to watch the money
come in...prepared to maybe receive about $1000 to $1500 in cash or so....
But what a welcome surprise when those envelopes kept coming in!!! I
knew what they were as soon as I saw the return addresses from people
all over the world-Most from the U.S., but some from Canada, even some
from Australia! I tell you, THAT WAS EXCITING!! So how much did I
get in total return? $1000? $5000? Not even!!! I received a total of
$23,343!!! I couldn't believe it!!
I now have a brand new black Acura Integra to speak for, due to
this!! Now after almost 8 months, I am ready to do it again!!! So
maybe it was possible to get $50,000 in cash, I don't know, but IT
COMPLETELY DEPENDS ON YOU, THE INDIVIDUAL! You must follow through
and repost this article everywhere you can think of! The more
postings you achieve will determine how much cash will arrive in your
very own mailbox!! It's just too easy to pass up!!!
Let's review the reasons why you should do this: The only cost
factors are for the five stamps, the 5 envelopes and the 5 one dollar
bills that you send out to the listed names by snail mail (US Postal
Service Mail). Then just simply repost the article (WITH YOUR NAME
ADDED) to all the newsgroups and local BBS's you can. Then sit back
and, (ironically), enjoy walking (you can run if you like! :o ) down
your driveway to your mailbox and scoop up your rewards!! We all have
five dollars to put into such an easy effortless investment with
SPECTACULAR REALISTIC RETURNS OF $15,000 to $25,000 in about 3-5
weeks! So HOLD OFF ON THOSE LOTTERY NUMBERS FOR TODAY,EAT AT HOME
TONIGHT INSTEAD OF TAKEOUT FROM McDONALDS AND INVEST FIVE DOLLARS IN
THIS AMAZING MONEY MAKING SYSTEM NOW!!! YOU CAN'T LOSE!!
So how do you do it exactly, you ask? I have carefully provided
the mostdetailed, yet straightforward instructions on how to easily
get this underway and get your cash on its way. SO, ARE YOU READY TO
MAKE SOME CASH!!!?? HERE WE GO!!!
*** THE LIST OF NAMES IS AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE. ***
OK, Read this carefully. Get a printout of this information, if you
like, so you can easily refer to it as often as needed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Take a sheet of paper and write on it the following:
"Please add my name to your list". This creates a service out of this
money making system and thus making it completely legal. You are not
just randomly sending a dollar to someone, you are paying one dollar
for a legitimate service. Make sure you include your name and
address. I assure you that, again, this is completely legal! For a
neat little twist, also write what slot their name was in: "You were
in slot 3", Just to add a little fun! This is all about having fun
and making money at the same time!
2. Now fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill ,(no checks or
money orders), and put them into an envelope and send it on its way to
the five people listed. The folding of the paper around the bill will
insure its arrival to its recipient. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!!
3. Now listen carefully, here's where you get YOUR MONEY COMING TO
YOUR MAILBOX. Look at the list of five people; remove the first
name from position one and move everyone on the list up slot one on
the list. Position 2 name will now move to the position 1 slot ,
position 3 will now become position 2, 4 will be be 3, 5 wil be 4.
Now put your name, address, zipcode AND COUNTRY in position 5, the
bottom position on the list.
4. Now upload this updated file to as many newsgroups and local
bulletin boards' message areas & file section as possible. Give a
catchy description of the file so it gets noticed!! Such as:
"NEED FAST CASH?, HERE IT IS!" or "NEED CASH TO PAY OFF
YOUR DEBTS??", etc. And the more uploads, the more money you will
make, and of course, the more money the others on the list will make
too. LET'S ALL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND BY PUTTING
FORTH 120 PERCENT INTO THIS PROFITABLE & AMAZING SYSTEM!!! You'll reap
the benefits, believe me!!! Set a goal for the number of total uploads
you'll post, such as 200 postings or more! Always have a goal in
mind!!! If you can UUE encode the file when uploading, that will make
it easier for the people to receive it and have it downloaded to their
hard drive. That way they get a copy of the article right on their
computer without hassles of viewing and then saving the article from
the File menu. Don't alter the file type, leave it as an MS-DOS Text
file. The best test is to be able to view this file using Microsoft's
Notepad for Windows 3.x or WordPad for Windows '95. If the margins
look right without making the screen slide left or right when at the
ends of the sentences, you're in business!
5. If you need help uploading, simply ask the sysop of the BBS, or
"POST" a message on a newsgroup asking how to post a file, tell them
who your Internet provider is and PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE GLAD TO HELP.
I would try to describe how to do it but there are simply too many
internet software packages with slightly different yet relatively
simple ways to post or upload a file. Just ask for help or look in
the help section for 'posting'. I do know that for GNN, you simply
select 'POST' then enter a catchy description under the subject box,
choose 'ATTACH', selecting 'UUE' and NOT 'TXT', then choose 'Browse'
to go look for the file. Find your text file CASH.TXT and click on it
and choose 'OK'. Place a one line statement in the main body section
of the message post screen. Something like "Download this to read how
to get cash arriving in your mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever.
Just make sure it represents its true feasibility, NOT something
like..."Get one million dollars flooding in your mailbox in two days!"
You'll never get ANY responses!
6. And this is the step I like. JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY LIFE BECAUSE
CASH IS ON THE WAY!! Expect to see a little money start to
trickle in around 2 weeks, but AT ABOUT WEEKS 3 & 4, THE MONEY STORM
WILL HIT YOUR MAILBOX!! All you have to do is take it out of the
mailbox and try not to scream too loud (outside anyway) when you
realize YOU HIT THE BIG TIME AT LAST!!
7. So go PAY OFF YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and then get that something
special you always wanted or buy that special person in your life (or
the one you want in your life) a gift they'll never forget. ENJOY
LIFE!
8. Now when you get low on this money supply, simply re-activate
this file again; Reposting it in the old places where you originally
posted and possibly some new places you now know of. Don't ever lose
this file, always keep a copy at your reach for when you ever need
cash. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-USE TIME AND
TIME AGAIN WHEN CASH IS NEEDED!

Okay...now after reading this I am very sad. I guess I will putt along
with my 2400 baud modem on the information super highway to see the
worldwide web...I havent been on a 2400 baud modem since 1988, and i bet
getting a homepage graphic will be really slow!!!!
Cmon magic cap guys! This is the ONLY hand held that has web browsing
capabilities that are halfway decent! At least make it somewhat possible
for us old PIC 1000 users to use PCMCIA modems!! =(

Subject: new version of CujoTerm available!
Hi folks,
For those of you that use CujoTerm, that simple but free terminal
package, there's a new version available at:
http://www.genmagic.com/Develop/MagicCap/Internet/Downloads/
This new version of CujoTerm is one of the template applications
provided with the Magic Internet Kit, the new development kit for
writing communicating Magic Cap applications. CujoTerm now supports:
* PPP with PAP and CHAP authentication over a communicator's built-in
modem and external modems plugged into the MagicBus port. You can
now use CujoTerm with a Ricochet wireless modem without needing
WMLink!
* DNS name resolution so that you can use symbolic host names as the
destination for a TCP/IP connection.
Sorry, but there's no VT100 emulation yet; the above enhancements were
inherited from the new features of the Magic Internet Kit. As I've
mentioned before, CujoTerm is a sample application and not a formally
supported end-user product of General Magic, but that doesn't stop me
from using it on my personal communicator.
Special notes: CujoTerm supports rlogin for TCP/IP connections, and
the default port for TCP/IP is 513, the rlogin port. Also, if you're
using a Ricochet modem and you need it to dial 777 for PPP mode, fill
in the remote phone number as '"777' (double-quote and 777). That will
make it dial 777 without trying to be smart and add an area code.
Best regards and have fun!
Josh Carter
p.s. For those that are interested in neat-but-useless trivia,
CujoTerm is named after Cujo the African Grey parrot that used to live
in Magic's comms lab. Check out her home page at:

Subject: Magic Internet Kit available!
Hi folks,
(This post is geared towards developers, and it crossposted here in
case you are interested in Magic Cap development but are not on the
MAGICDEV list).
I'd like to announce the availability of the Magic Internet Kit, the
complete development kit for creating Magic Cap applications that
communicate in a variety of ways. The heart of the Magic Internet Kit
is a powerful yet easy-to-use object framework that provides:
* TCP/IP support for writing full-featured Internet/Intranet
applications.
* Supporting protocols for TCP/IP such as PPP, with PAP and CHAP
authentication, and DNS for resolving host names.
* Serial communications over a communicator's built-in modem or
MagicBus port.
* PPP and serial support for many external modems, including
Metricom's Ricochet wireless modem, U.S. Robotics, and Supra modems.
Additionally, the Kit provides an automated application creation tool
that lets you quickly select the different types of framework support
that you desire and "clone" a template to start from. This lets you
get up and running with a few mouse clicks!
To find out more about the Magic Internet Kit, check out its web page
located at:
http://www.genmagic.com/Develop/MagicCap/Internet/
You can download the Kit for free from our web site, and the Magic
Internet Kit Programmer's Guide is also available for reading online.
Check it out!

I thought you had a PIC2000. The PIC1000 will theoretically operate a PC Card
modem just as well as the 2000, but then you will have nowhere near enough
memory to run Presto!Mail and !Links. The PIC1000 has to have a minimum 1meg
SRAM card in the one and only PCMCIA card slot, and the Presto! Packages must
be on the card. Presto! browsing via a card modem on the machine you have
without reengineering it with PIC2000 parts is essentially impossible. I'm
awaiting developments and hoping in the forseeable future to use an external
modem at a reasonably fast speed for Presto!Links occasion.

Anyone else attempting to use sprint as an internet provider for their

ppp but my pop/smtp connections time out. I believe they are using a dns
load sharing/hiding mechanism which works just fine with win95 and macslip

though.
