Subject: Presto! and static IP
Finally I got my own PIC-2000 while on vacation in California. Great!
Both! ;-)
But...
I want to use Presto! with my company as the service provider, but
there is no possibility to get dynamic IP via PPP. Is there any
workaround? I do have a static IP for use with my PC. Is it possible
to assign this address magically?
Any hints are appreciated,
Robert

Subject: Re: MagicCap Goban? (long response)
I am happy to seem that my interest in Go for MagicCap is shared. Please allow me to elaborate on my previous posting: The many names for Go and the origin is a story not told in few words. I invite all who is interested to examine the web address previously posted, it is interesting reading. For those who do not know Go, I heartly invite you to learn the game. It is an intellectual game, but with simple rules and a strong visual appeal. (No relation to Reversi, sorry.) My previous posting did not make it sufficiently clear that I was *not* talking about a computer opponent. While certainly interesting, this is a much more difficult problem. What I had in mind was a tools allowing play between two players and study on the road. The ultimate Go tool would, as many suggested, also integrate a client for the Internet Go servers, an (SGF) editor, and an automatic replayer.

As for my humble graphics, I was just trying to imagine how the board could look like on a ML. It was not intended as a final GUI.

I don't know for certain since I have never used the external keyboard, but I imagine that the sluggishness is caused by the protocol being used to transmit the keys over the serial link, and that the external keyboard should work much more effectively thatn MX.

Subject: Re: Presto! and static IP
The challenge to implementing static IP addresses is the user interface. Probably with the time crunch to get Presto! to market with the PersonaLink demise static IPs were set aside. If you were really motivated you could reverse engineer (decode the machine instructions) in the Presto!PPP package and find where the PPP IP address negotiation occurs. At that point you could set your hardcoded address. This is obviously not a job for the faint at heart. :-) It may be easier to just get your company to enable dynamic IP addresses. Another alternative would be to dig up an old 386/486 box and run freebsd or another free unix varient. They support ppp dialins easily enough. You would need an extra phone line.

Am I insane for thinking that I should be able to use my PIC2000 with PrestoMail on our TCP/IP based Ethernet at work? Is Ethernet even possible on the PIC 2000? Martin T.

Dear Magic and Magic, Bob Buchanan writes about difficulty with PrestoMail and different behavior when cohhecting with PrestoLink. I also have found a difference but I with better results. I have copied the connect button to my desk and get satisfactory results when I use if to connect before collecting mail. Can Brenda or someone familiar with the code offeran explanation and or advice?

Yep. >I was wondering if a formula, like setting a percentage >that would automatically be added monthly (on the day the statement cuts) >could be added. Alas, no. In fact, I don't see how this feature could concievably exist, because monthly finance charges are computed based on average daily balance. Because the computers at different banks and finance companies are running defferent software, the average daily balance would probably still vary by a few pennies, all other factors being equal. This does, however, raise a suggestion for a package (are you listening developers?). As we all know, it is necessary to periodically "trim" transactions in Pocket Quicken, since they suck up main memory and can't be transferred to the memory card. How about a package that would take all transactions within a certain date range and automatically transfer the data to a Pencell spreadsheet? Now that would be EXTREMELY handy!

Sorry, this is not an option. We are no 'official' internet provider
so security constraints (I think) leads to this measure.

Sorry! It does'nt work. All I got is a panel which tells me about
problems with my PPP access. Nevertheless I wrote a 'debug' into my
script, I found no more 'log output'. Any hints?
Thanks all!

Subject: Newbie questions?
How To:
-------
- Notes to adress cards? I tried to add a coupon but it seems to be
restricted to some ten characters.
- Supress waiting for the dial tone while faxing. My ML states, that
there is no phone line connected. Using manual dialing or name cards
works fine. Is there another magic character like "'"? This problem
only occurs at my office not at home, so it seems not to be a
'localization problem' (Germany)
Thanks in advance,
Robert
