Won't a NET START without any parameters present a list of all
running services?

don't know about "for Mac", but Lucent definitely has a cool system that now
does 8MB -- their original one did 2MB. Network Magazine just gave them one
of their awards for the previous year. We just set up a trial in our library
(all PC). The radio broadcast antennas are simple, unobtrusive and have a box
similar to a minihub that plugs into the rest of your network. They handle
roving connection, so that a laptop moving out of range of one and into the
range of another will automatically transition without a break in connection.
The antenna receiver cards only stick out about an inch from the side of the
laptop.

We have a large library and found that with two antennas placed diagonally at
opposite corners we could easily cover the main floor. We could receive the
signal up one floor through the floor (this is a reinforced concrete 26 story
library) and book stacks. Two floors was iffy and you would have to be
vertically directly over the antenna. With a single hub point, something like
the elevator shaft would completely block the signal because of all the metal.

It is slightly expensive compared to a wired system, but not totally
outrageous. If your wiring situtation becomes overly complicated or difficult
for one reason or another or you just need the flexibility and convenience,
this would do it. You can actually go out on the lawn outside the library by
the pond and lay back with your laptop, connected to the network.

Just thought all that might be of interest to people on the list.

So, if you are searching the web, look for Network Magazine and look for
Lucent.

I could tell you more if I were at work, but given that info, you can
probably find it just as easily on the web.

I don't see any need for anyone to apologize.

It doesn't matter a pittance that public funds are used to run this list.
Mr. Bizer chooses to do it, a thankless job no doubt, and he probably, like
the rest of us, is not perfect. But someone has to do it and I thank him
for that and I for one, would be very unhappy if he capitulated to your
browbeating. You may think you have a point but many of us disagree, I'm
sure.

And you don't win the prize for perfection either, Mr. Schwarz, for your
constant haranguing of Steve Jobs and sometimes bitter remarks. ALL if us
on this list are tired of it, even the people who dislike Apple products
for one reason or the other. Obviously you have skills in certain areas
that are of benefit to this list, but we don't need all your rhetoric. BTW,
I don't even know you but I doubt that you would be where you are today if
it weren't for your nemesis, Mr. Jobs so stow it.

And Mr. Dearden, who also offers a lot to our list in skills and
background, shoots from the hip sometimes, so what. I do, we all do,
SOMETIMES.

Let's try and get along, and we don't need any apologies,

I suggest that before anyone rushes to upgrade, they have a look at a
thread currently going on TidBits Talk
<http://www.tidbits.com/search/talk.html> called "Files disappearing after
installing Mac OS 8.6"

Safety first should be the motto here.

I am running DAVE on my G3 laptop to access an NT server.

Is there any way I can remotely access the server? If so, what product do
you recommend.

Timbuktu by Netopia. You won't need Dave to do this either. Timbuktu will
communication TCP/IP. You'll also need it on the server as well.

      That should be the motto everywhere. Don't install a new OS on any
important/mission-critical computer until after you've tested it. The
risks of having a system crash are too great.

        Vin,

        That's OK, but when you have something with dependencies,
such as IIS or
Exchange, the trick is to kill off the service that also kills off all the
dependencies. With Exchange 5.5, you want to kill off Exchange Service
Attendant, hence the:
NET STOP EXCHANGESA /Y
command.
