Happy New Year!

I had problem with IE on my 760ED before. I just installed the newer version of IE5.5 and the problem is gone. It took me about 5 minutes to download IE using my cable modem, but It might take one hour to download IE5.5 using a standard modem.

The old IE would not even be able to access the download site for the IE5.5. I get around with a setup file downloaded from my desktop and transfer with a floppy. ie5setup.exe file is only 498KB in size.

Good luck.

Ying Zhang

Thanks for the many good responses, I have fixed my laptop. On the Keyboard control card (FRU 69H7913) there is a normally open Micro switch labled "SW1" This switch is the sensor for the lid, open (switch open) or closed (switch shorted or closed). One of the replies I received off list noted that sometimes the switch will get jammed making the unit think the lid is down. ***To fix my unit I removed the keyboard disconecting the ribbon cables in the process, and removed the keyboard bezel. I then pulled apart the switch and found that the spring inside of it had turned sideways, effectively leaving the switch in the closed position. Using a small pair of tweezers I removed the spring, put it back in vertically and reassembled the switch. I then installed the keyboard and keyboard bezel opposite of removal. Booted the unit up and BINGO! The screen works normally again. Net $$ cost to me $000.00 and about 6 hours of reading the IBM page and posting to every thinkpad forum I could find. Thanks for the help Greg *** do not attempt this unless you are more than halfway mechanically inclined and are familiar with ESD safe guards. If you do not know what ESD stands for I suggest you do not undertake this project. Always wear a grounding strap and avoid working on a carpeted floor. For best results perform all work at an ESD ground station with a quality ground mat. With surface mount components found in most thinkpads it is possible to do severe damage to your unit by a static discharge.

IE4.x and IE5.x have slightly different ways of storing this information, so starting fresh for IE5.5 might help.

A few months ago, the mounting Java errors and expiring security certificates (the latter can be partly dealt with) caused me to seek a replacement for Netscape 3.04 ("the last stable version") for my lowly 701. At the time there was much disenchantment about the instability of IE 5.5, so I went with the consensus, which was IE 5.01 SP 1. I have been quite surprised and pleased by 5.01's performance. It actually loads pages faster than 3.04, though if there were a fixed version of Netscape, I would prefer it because of Netscape's more sensible design in general, and better handling of bookmarks in particular. Long ago I did try IE 4, but removed it immediately. Awful on this computer. I didn't have to remove 3.04, and still use it from time to time when Java is not a factor. When images are not a factor (remember when the 'net was 99.9% text?) and the file is already local, I might use viewhtml http://www.ozemail.com.au/~ksolway/ which loads far faster than either Netscape or IE. And the text is always in the colours and fonts that *you* have chosen.

I think its worth it and if I had a desire for another one, would definitely consider it very seriously. ...unless you want one of those higher-res. screens--can't argue much with that. As for Win2K--install it yourself after-the-fact.

One word: Autocomplete. I don't know how I ever got along without it. I fill out a lot of online forms, and autocomplete does all the work for me. If I ever filled out a similar form, even on another site, it finds what I typed in before and has it ready to go. Of course, if you never fill out online forms, this wouldn't matter. I don't know what the problems are that people are talking about with 5.0 and 5.5. I've used them both quite extensively, and they've both been very reliable for me. -Mike From cph Tue Jan 2 14:53:48 2001 Return-Path: Received: from cs.utk.edu (cs.utk.edu [128.169.94.1]) by zurich.ai.mit.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id OAA27588 for ; Tue, 2 Jan 2001 14:53:47 -0500 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA01769; Tue, 2 Jan 2001 14:53:45 -0500 (EST) Received: by cs.utk.edu (bulk_mailer v1.13); Tue, 2 Jan 2001 14:52:01 -0500 Received: by cs.utk.edu (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA01480; Tue, 2 Jan 2001 14:52:01 -0500 (EST) Received: from mailcore3.oh.voyager.net (marvin@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA01467; Tue, 2 Jan 2001 14:51:59 -0500 (EST) Received: from mailcore3.oh.voyager.net (207.90.100.14 -> mailcore3.oh.voyager.net) by cs.utk.edu (smtpshim v1.0); Tue, 2 Jan 2001 14:51:59 -0500 Received: from daveb (d288.as1.clmb.oh.voyager.net [216.28.53.32]) by mailcore3.oh.voyager.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id OAA64157; Tue, 2 Jan 2001 14:51:37 -0500 (EST) Reply-To: From: "Dave W.

Both 5.0x and 5.5 SP1 have worked very well on every system I've installed them on. The original 5.5 (pre-SP1) had some issues with rendering some DHTML-based Web sites on only one of systems, but I'm not entirely convinced that wasn't due to a video driver problem. I am really pleased with 5.5 SP1; it loads fast, renders pages faster than previous versions of IE and Netscape, and I honestly can't remember the last time it crashed on me. YMMV, of course, as with most things in this industry.

I too use IE 4 and, still for speed, Netscape Nav Gold! Although I have a copy of Opera on my HDD, I have not taken to this (mainly as it has a slightly different look, interface) but welcome others experiences with this browser as it is much smaller footprint. I hate the fact that nearly all the Java related errors are coders building-in useless, unwelcomed effects or Ads which I don't want to see... I never liked the upgrade from IE 4 to 5 as it caused all sorts of problems and took up too much HDD space at the time.

I'm not sure if it is working right when I put in two batteries or not, maybe someone who has one can tell me what is supposed to happen. When I put in a second (known good, charged) battery in the bay, the second battery indicator lights up. The machine shows about 2x the normal operating time in the fuel gauge, this looks good so far. Now the problem; when the remaining capacity gets down to 50%, the machine just shuts off! Duh, isn't it supposed to switch over and use the other battery? I'm wondering if this requires the use of one of the suspend or hibernation modes that I don't have enabled. Can anyone who has used 2 batteries tell me what is supposed to happen? Does the machine go into hibernation and you have to wake it up again to use the second battery? Is there any test that I should perform? Batteries will charge in both positions, by the way.

I don't understand that Emanuel, AOL offers a pre-paid annual subscription: "$19.95 per month ($239.40 1 year prepaid subscription) providing access to AOL and the Internet, without hourly fees, for members who pay in advance for 1 year."

Seems to be the case Jane. If I try to log in to my AOL account from my ISP's server or by direct DIALUP to AOL and either my Mom or my daughter in CA are online, I'm denied access. Same goes for IM if I attempt to chat with either of them, I have to use my ISP's server to access Instant Messenger to chat with them individually, and my Mom and daughter can't both be online and chatting together in IM either. Kind of a PITA, but I only keep the account for my Mom to have relatively painless email access and for my daughter who's in training for the Athens Olympics and moves around a _lot_.

I can see why they would block multiple dialups but am a little puzzled about the direct connection blocking. Seems like they would allow that at least for an additional (small) fee. I have my father set up to connect using my MindSpring account. He mainly just does e-mail and a very few preset web sites, so we hardly ever conflict.

I set ICQ up to load automatically on his TP755CD (obligatory TP > content) so that I can see if we're both on. I've got a similar setup in that my Mom in PA has my old TP760XL (also obligatory Thinkpad content!) and really only uses it for email and to access a few websites such as AARP and Habitat for Humanity. My daughter has one of my TP600s with her and she makes good use of the wide selection of AOL access numbers available, especially the international ones.

I believe this applies to all flavors of 770. My own experience only covers the 770Z, on which I installed W2k on some time ago. My recollection is that if you did a clean install of W2k you lost the functionality of the DVD for playback of DVD movies unless you had the Enhanced Video Adapter (EVA). If you did an upgrade install from either Win'98 or NT you may be able to use the software DVD encoder, but I'm not sure. Others here may know. I never did understand why IBM couldn't provide the software to allow DVD playback with W2k. Just today I have purchased the EVA card for my 770Z, even though my wife now uses this machine as I have moved on to an A21p. The EVA is pretty hard to find.

Oops. It's been a while (I no longer have my 760E) but my batteries would exhibit behaviour similar to what you observe -- that is, they sometimes didn't drop linearly to 0%, but would quit earlier. I'm pretty sure that the computer wasn't suspending when doing a battery changeover, so I think that would rule out (3). If you don't have any battery in the option bay at all, does it draws power OK from the battery in the main battery bay? I have to say I'm inclined to think that it might be (2) or (4). Can you warm-swap batteries when the unit is suspended, without the unit powering off?

I just tried it tonight, and it drew from the battery in the bay until the system was just over 50% drained (about 52%), then it shut off. If I turn it back on, it runs for a few seconds off the battery in the bay then turns off again. The only things that I can think of are that... 1) My batteries are too weak, and die early, but does it really drain to 0% on your system? Mine usually quits at about 4% left. Maybe it really wants to get to 0% to switch. 2) It is busted. 3) It goes into suspend for a second to switch, and mine is disabled. 4) It uses the internal rechargable backup battery, and mine is dead or bad. Question, I sent my query to the list, but just switched to individual messages instead of the digest. Your message appeared to come right from you instead of the list, did you send it to me or to the list or both? It will be a pain if all the messages don't come from the list, then I can't put them in a folder.

I do this on my laptops because it's so convenient. When on the go, it's hard to tell what type of Internet connection I'll have, but in the past, it almost always meant setting up new e-mail accounts in Outlook or modifying existing ones to send through a different SMTP server. Running my own server, I have a single account set to send mail through the server "localhost". The mail is sent from my own computer's SMTP server no matter what network I'm connected to. Very handy solution! Win2K has this feature built-in in the form of IIS's SMTP service, if you install it. On my Win98-based laptop, I use a program called "Advanced Direct Remailer" from http://www.mailutilities.com/adr/ . It's US$40 to register, but there's a 30-day trial period to see if it works for you. There may be cheaper servers available, but I liked the security features offered by this app. You just configure it, set it to load with Windows, and it sits there as an icon in the tray.

I have a 3 year old TP600e, with original battery. Been very careful with it but now I think it's died. But I need to be sure before I part with £170 (sterling) for a new one. So - the amber light is continually flashing. In power meter the battery icon has a red diagonal line through it and 0% showing. Despite leaving it on mains but not powered up the battery will not take any charge. This situation happened very quickly, over a few days, although I have been getting progressivly less running time over the last 6 months or so. Thank you for your attentions.

This sounds like a lot of money to me. I was able to buy a brand-new TP600 battery on eBay for USD 86 last month. Even with shipping and v.a.t., it's still way cheaper than GBP 170. Some people have their original batteries reconditioned; I'm not sure whether its worthwile, but it's likey to be much cheaper than buying a new battery. -Dominique From cph Thu Jan 4 16:16:41 2001 Return-Path: Received: from cs.utk.edu (cs.utk.edu [128.169.94.1]) by zurich.ai.mit.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id QAA17209 for ; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 16:16:41 -0500 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA19516; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 16:16:35 -0500 (EST) Received: by cs.utk.edu (bulk_mailer v1.13); Thu, 4 Jan 2001 16:14:58 -0500 Received: by cs.utk.edu (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA19176; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 16:14:57 -0500 (EST) Received: from spock.leben.com (marvin@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id QAA19163; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 16:14:55 -0500 (EST) Received: from spock.leben.com (209.44.133.26 -> 209-44-133-26.pdq.net) by cs.utk.edu (smtpshim v1.0); Thu, 4 Jan 2001 16:14:56 -0500 Received: from localhost (mitch@localhost) by spock.leben.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA02082; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 15:55:39 -0600 Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 15:55:39 -0600 (CST) From: Mitchell Leben To: "James H.

Resuming from Stand-by will often hang with a black screen and a blinking text underline cursor in the upper right hand corner. This problem has been mentioned in the IBM support forum with no satisfactory answer so far. Unfortunately, until this works reliably, the machine is essentially useless to me since I can't trust it to stand-by and not lose work. The stock Win98 configuration does not have this problem but Win98 is not appropriate for my development work. The configuration is a stock Win2K retail install plus service pack 1. I am running all the latest software/drivers/BIOS according to the IBM X20 driver matrix: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-4LXTHS.html Through painful trial and error, I have found that the latest 3Com Ethernet driver will hang the machine on boot after SP1 is installed. It also appears to cause the Resume bug to occur more frequently. One annoyance is that IBM does not include a restore CD with the X20. A restore partition is installed on the drive and eats up 500MB. I would like to obtain an IBM factory restore CD so that I can create a baseline Win2K environment to test against. If anyone can help me obtain this CD, I would be much obliged. IBM tech support (800-772-2227) will send X20 owners a CD upon request. This is to accommodate users that upgrade their hard drives. I'll will send a full report on my experience to the list once the dust settles. mercer@rahul.net From cph Thu Jan 4 17:34:26 2001 Return-Path: Received: from cs.utk.edu (cs.utk.edu [128.169.94.1]) by zurich.ai.mit.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id RAA17951 for ; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:34:26 -0500 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA28522; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:34:19 -0500 (EST) Received: by cs.utk.edu (bulk_mailer v1.13); Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:32:32 -0500 Received: by cs.utk.edu (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA28096; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:32:31 -0500 (EST) Received: from mta6.snfc21.pbi.net (marvin@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA28066; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:32:28 -0500 (EST) From: Received: from mta6.snfc21.pbi.net (206.13.28.240 -> mta6.snfc21.pbi.net) by cs.utk.edu (smtpshim v1.0); Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:32:29 -0500 Received: from Portege.rahul.net ([63.193.246.11]) by mta6.snfc21.pbi.net (Sun Internet Mail Server sims.3.5.2000.01.05.12.18.p9) with ESMTP id <0G6N000FWT426Y@mta6.snfc21.pbi.net> for thinkpad@cs.utk.edu; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 14:28:52 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 14:30:13 -0800 Subject: Thinkpad X20 quick review X-Sender: mercer@pop.rahul.net To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu Message-id: <5.0.2.1.2.20010104135211.02e20460@spies.com> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0.2 Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed List-Unsubscribe: I took delivery of a new Thinkpad X20 one week ago. Model 2662-36U. Win98 and 3Com Ethernet. I chose this model because I understood that the 3Com modem was not a software based modem (I have not actually confirmed this.) The corresponding model bundled with Win2K was not in stock. Here's some constructive criticism that might help others considering purchase of this machine. I have upgraded the machine to Win2K SP1 and updated all the drivers according to the IBM driver matrix (http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-4LXTHS.html). No other software or hardware has been installed on this machine since I have been able to make it work reliably yet. - No power switch accessible with the screen closed. Less convenient to use as a desktop replacement with an external monitor. I am told the port replicator has a power switch so that would alleviate this problem. I noticed the current small Sony (SR7K) has the same design oversight, which factored into my decision to purchase the X20 over the Sony. Does anyone know if the Ultrabase X2 has a power switch? - No visible power-on LED when screen is closed. Again, inconvenient for users primarily using external displays. Likewise for the hard drive activity light. - No utility to access FN keys from an external keyboard. Toshiba and Dell both have this feature. Again, very inconvenient for users that prefer to keep the display close when used in a desktop environment. IBM, please add a utility to do this. - Unreliable operation under Windows 2000 in the area of stand-by/resume. This makes the machine unusable for me. See my previous post for more details. - Upon a successful Resume, the screen (internal and external) remains blank until the mouse is moved or a key is pressed. A minor bug but obvious bug. How did this get through QA? - The BIOS is now made by Phoenix. Slow to boot compared to Toshiba and Dell. Cannot boot from PCMCIA CD-ROMs. Hopefully IBM will continue to enhance the BIOS. - No restore CD -- there is a built-in 500MB restore partition. Also, a prompt at boot time asks to press F11 to perform a factory restore. This slows down the already slow boot process. I imagine the prompt can be disabled by deleting the restore partition. - Only one DIMM slot, already populated with a 64MB module, making it expensive to expand beyond 192MB. - FN-F3 to turn off the display is slow - it brings up a status window! Hopefully this will be fixed with a software upgrade. - Closing the lid only turns off the backlight, doesn't actually turn off the display. Fixable with new software. - Soft "rubber" paint is hard to keep clean. A subjective issue. - Build quality seems to be a notch below the 600. - No Windows keys. All Thinkpads are like this. Some sort of IBM quirk. I chose this machine over the Sony SR7K due to IBM's greater range of expansion options and what I thought to be superior system software (drivers, BIOS). So far, the system software has been a serious disappointment. While there is much to like about the machine, overall, I am fairly disappointed with the X20, given my past positive experience with the Thinkpad 600. I am going to stick with this machine for a while longer to see if I can find a work around to the Stand-by/Resume problem. mercer@rahul.net From cph Thu Jan 4 18:01:17 2001 Return-Path: Received: from cs.utk.edu (cs.utk.edu [128.169.94.1]) by zurich.ai.mit.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id SAA18227 for ; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 18:01:17 -0500 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id SAA03134; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 18:01:12 -0500 (EST) Received: by cs.utk.edu (bulk_mailer v1.13); Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:59:38 -0500 Received: by cs.utk.edu (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA02952; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:59:38 -0500 (EST) Received: from fw1.uhc.com (marvin@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id RAA02936; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:59:32 -0500 (EST) Received: from fw1.uhc.com (168.183.16.135 -> gw.uhc.com) by cs.utk.edu (smtpshim v1.0); Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:59:32 -0500 Received: from fw1.uhc.com (root@localhost) by fw1.uhc.com with ESMTP id QAA19374 for ; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 16:59:28 -0600 (CST) Received: from dts-jl (DTS_JL.uhc.com [10.145.185.103]) by fw1.uhc.com with SMTP id QAA19370 for ; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 16:59:27 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.20010104180147.00b12100@pop.mindspring.com> X-Sender: jloyless@pop.mindspring.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 18:01:47 -0500 To: thinkpad@cs.utk.edu From: Jane Loyless Subject: Re: Thinkpad X20 quick review In-Reply-To: <5.0.2.1.2.20010104135211.02e20460@spies.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" List-Unsubscribe: At 02:30 PM 01/04/2001 -0800, mercer@rahul.net wrote: > - No Windows keys.

I bought the machine used, and I have never been able to get the PCMCIA slot to work with a memory card. (It works fine with a modem.) OS is Windows (natch)-- 98 currently, but it had the same problem under 95. On inserting the card, the plug-n-play stuff kicks in to install the standard hard drive driver. After that, the machine makes that "oops" sound, and a look through the hardware manager tells me nothing more than that it ain't working. Has anyone else had this difficulty? I apologize if it's been addressed here before, but I couldn't find an effective way to search the archives.

Create an account at http://www.myrealbox.com (Free service sponsored by Novell). They supply an smtp server that you can mail through no matter what your connection is. You just have to remember to set your email client to do a POP check of your myrealbox address (which you don't ever have to actually use for receiving) before sending through the myrealbox smtp server.

On your advice, I checked out ZDNet's offerings and found PostCast Server, a freeware SMTP server. It's a far nicer program than ADR is, has a slightly smaller memory footprint, and has the added benefit of being free compared to $40 for ADR. Since I was still in the trial period of ADR, I don't have to kick myself for buying it when I can have something for free to do the same job. Thanks for the pointer! The only thing that I used in ADR that PostCast doesn't provide is the ability to have a username and password for your SMTP server. This provides additional security by making it even more difficult for "outside" computers to send mail through your server -- big-time spammer technique. Both ADR and PostCast can be configured to allow connections only from the local computer, "localhost," IP address 127.0.0.1, which makes it pretty much impossible for someone other than you to send mail through your server. For those following this thread, running your own SMTP server also has the small bonus of bypassing the mail servers of "free" e-mail providers such as Yahoo, MSN, etc. When you send e-mail through these companies' servers, a small advertisement is appended to your e-mail. By sending through your own system, you can still use, say, a Yahoo account as I do for public postings, but not have to bother your recipients with useless ads at the end of your messages.

Only the last one listed, the 2.1GB IBM is thicker at .7 inches or 12MM. Therefore these will all fit ANY Thinkpad ever made! Only problem might be the alignment of the mounting holes in older drive shells. But at these prices, give Bill a call and get a new drive shell for your new drive.

Ctrl-Esc will bring up the Start menu, yes, but it does not allow launching programs directly. Windows-E, for example, will start Windows Explorer, which is a program I use frequently - I put it in the top level of my Start menu. Windows-E is a lot more convenient than using the mouse or Ctrl-Esc plus a few keystrokes. That said, I prefer NOT having the Windows and contextual-menu keys. Like Jane Loyless I do not like the way they reduce the size of other keys on laptop keyboards. In fact on full size keyboards I often hit the Windows and contextual-menu keys by accident and have come to detest them. Unlike Ctrl which has no effect if you strike it and do nothing, these extra keys switch the focus, and suddenly your typing is interrupted as you have to Alt-Tab back. With Alt you can hit it again and be back where you were. Not with these new keys. > I also agree that the keys should never be added to notebooks, > period, they are a waste of space.

I was lucky to locate an original IBM 101-key keyboard (the buckling spring type) in a thrift shop. Paid all of $2 for it. I touch type noticeably faster and more comfortably on it. Of course, it also weighs about as much as my 560x. Still, IMHO it's one of the best bargains I've found. A sticker on the back says 1984 or something like that. Dunno if that's date of this unit's manufacture or date of its design, but it's definitely pretty old. If you come across one of these, grab it. I have another (newer) IBM 101-key keyboard that's half the weight and has a smaller footprint, but it feels noticeably inferior in construction and I type poorly on it. Sometimes the old stuff is really better. Benjamin > > -Mike > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Dave W.

(It works fine with a modem.) You can't put a memory card in the PCMCIA slot on the 760 series laptops Ain. Thinkpads haven't worked that way for years. Your expansion memory is behind a door on the bottom of the laptop. Look at the right side of the machine behind and below the display latch and you'll see a small slide switch almost at the base of the unit. This is the security lock. Slide it towards the rear of the machine to unlock the DIMM door. Then turn the unit over and you'll see the DIMM slot door on the bottom. Slide the DIMM cover open and you'll see the DIMM carrier card in the bay. The unit uses 3.3V EDO SO DIMMs of 8, 16, 32 or 64MB up to a maximum of 104MB, with one 32MB plus one 64MB plus the 8MB on the motherboard equals 104MB.

Just surf to http://www.aol.com and enter your Screen Name and password and you can read AND send your AOL mail from _anywhere_. I used my AOL account to keep the kids and family up to date during our two weeks in China last month. It worked very well logging in from various internet Cafes in Beijing, Xian, Chongqing, Wuhan, Canton and Hong Kong. All of which begs the question of why we simply didn't take one of our many laptops with us. Simple answer is that I feared losing it as they are a frequently stolen item in China and I didn't want to be constantly carrying it. Involved answer is that westerners carrying laptops are viewed with suspicion by various Chinese authorities, particularly Customs and Immigration, that you may in fact be a reporter in mufti attempting to sneak into the country to write all sorts of inappropriate stories for the foreign press. My wife and I both found being without our normally constant companions quite liberating.

Sometimes the old > stuff is really better. I would KILL for one of those Ben! Or if I could just get my ancient AST keyboard to work with ANY of my laptops. The original AST keyboard is what launched AST into the computer business and is my alltime favorite. It had exactly the same touch, feel and keyspacing as my venerable IBM Selectric. The AST doesn't have the AT/XT switch on it that you saw on keyboards after the AT was released and I went so far as to get new driver chips for it from AST in order to be able to keep using it when I upgraded to a 486 way back when the earth and I were young and dinosaurs roamed the planet! But, it never worked on any of my Pentium machines since my first P200 desktop nor has it ever worked on any of my Thinkpads. I'm using the IBM Model M 101 key buckling spring keyboard made for them by Lexmark (1994) and I HATE it! Don't really know why, it just doesn't "feel" right although, at 6 pounds, it's a VERY substantial keyboard. But, it's still better than any of the other ones I've got lying about so I'll keep on using it and cussin' it.

I wasn't aware of that Lee, I'll blame it on Bill. He says a 12.5MM drive will fit ANY Thinkpad. But, as the offerings from Louie were all 9MM thick save one, that still leaves 5 other that would fit the T20/X20.

I now own five but I'm not selling I bought one recently on egghead for 2.00 and a few weeks earlier I got one for $11. Of course the shipping was $19.95 and I got a very speedy IBM AT (under 10 Mhz - about 6.7, I think) as a collectors ITEM. I think most IBM AT and network computers before 1989 had this very heavy, very rugged keyboard... I think it has cast aluminum or cast iron as the shell. Also the early Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboards are of the same wonderful quality... I don't know about the Trackpoint II keyboards which I do have and love... they are different but still good.

I meant it in the sense of removable storage memory -- a PC card, flash card, SanDisk, etc. They come in Type I (no longer used much), II (standard flash memory) and III (a tiny spinning-disk drive). These things come in sizes from a few hundred K to a gigabyte. They're being superceded by Compact Flash cards now, which are as I understand it the same thing only smaller. I hope this clarifies what I'm talking about. I have a couple of cards that I use to transfer files between my desktop and laptops, standard ol' Type II PCMCIA cards of no great size. They work well in everything, from my old HP 200LX and Omnibook 430 to my brand-new P3 desktop. My TP760EL chokes on them every time, however. James, are you saying that the PCMCIA slots on the Thinkpad are for running devices (modems, CD-ROMs, etc) only? That would surprise me, I guess, but I'd certainly feel better about being totally unable to configure the flash cards!

That's known as James leaping to a conclusion and going over the cliff! ;-) Yes, they should all work in the 760EL as it's CARDBUS (32BIT) enabled. Have you installed the PC Card Director? http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/GSMH-3AVHVL.html I had this same problem years ago on my 760XL, wouldn't see Flash Memory cards.

I imagine Ghost or DriveImage would be able to do this. Since IBM will send customers a restore CD, I haven't investigated this route yet. Right now, the extra boot prompt is more annoying than the wasted 500MB.

I just got the machine back today. (Why so long, you ask? IBM blames Airborne, Airborne blames IBM. *Part* of the delay was that IBM wouldn't let me send the machine to them in one of the old boxes I have from previous repairs, so it took from Dec. 12 - when I first called - until Dec. 17 for them to get the machine in the first place. Most of the rest is because Airborne evidently *swims* all packages between the mainland and Hawaii.) DC-DC card seems to work, but: no new keyboard, and no new LCD cover. Plus, the machine is much dirtier than when I sent it in. I don't know why they said they were going to make these repairs. However, this slow, minimal repair is certainly more consistent with what one expects from Easy-Serve nowadays than the fuller service they'd said they planned to do. Oh, and the main moral of this story is that there is no more reason to save old IBM service boxes, as they won't let you use them anymore. A pity, as both the 'sling' boxes from several years ago, and the 'plastic sandwich' boxes that replaced them, seem to me to be safer than the cheesy foam-filled box I used this time. - David R.

If you run the restore CD, you're going to wind up back at W95OSR2, if it's the same as the recovery CD for my 760XL. If the drive is larger than 2.1GB, the C: partition MUST be 2.1GB in size formatted in FAT16.

You need the BOOTDISK for the CD which contains all of the installation information as well as the program to read the images. See: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/BBOD-3N5KWE.html > I was looking for something like 'Recovery.exe No, you're not doing anything wrong, IBM is just lefthanded when it comes to recovery CDs and you won't find any .exe programs on the older ones. A few questions. Do you have the external drive holder for the floppy drive? What size HD are we talking about here? Is this what you REALLY want to do? If you just want to get W98 freshly installed, there's a LOT easier way to do it than going back to square one. Let us know.

I have used the recover disks on all sizes up to 6.4 GB. Perhaps I worded my reply poorly. The drive can be any size. The Recovery CD, if allowed to completely format the HD will format drives larger than 2GB as C: of 2.1GB in FAT16 and the remainder of the drive as D: in FAT16 for the W95OSR2 and NT systems. W98 and later recovery disks will format the D: partition as FAT32. From the Recovery Text file: "All data on the hard drive will be destroyed if "Factory Default Partitioning and Format All Drives" is chosen. All data only on the C: drive will be destroyed if "Use Existing Partitioning and Format C: Drive Only" is chosen." However, if you choose "Use Existing Partition, etc." because all you want to do is reformat the C: partition and run the recovery process, the recovery will fail if the partition is formatted in FAT32 or NTFS and you'll be forced to format and repartition the entire disk. This will result in the loss of everything on the drive. See: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/BBOD-3N5KWE.html > Then you can use Partition Magic to change the partitions and sizes. > Not a satisfactory solution for some... but you can then upgrade to > Win98 SE if you want. Far better to leave the C: partiton in FAT16 and convert the D: partiton to FAT32. W98 will run just fine in FAT16 and if you put your APPS and files on the D: partition you won't have to worry about losing them to a recovery.

I've installed W2k several times on TPs and desktops. My old A20p came with W98 and I installed W2k. It worked OK, but then I got a hold of the W2k recovery disk. That was a much more stable install of this complex OS. I don't think you can dual boot the recovery disks for two different OS's can you?

The combo card works great. The modem connects consistently higher than my 770ED modem on the same line. It comes preloaded with Win98. I had it dual booting to Win2k about 24 hrs after receiving the unit. I think the trick is to use something like System Commander to split the 30 gig HD in two. This leaves Win98 on C and you then install Win2k on D. The drivers for Win 2k are easily found on the IBM web site. Further, the disk with software on it from IBM (in adddition to a recovery disk) allows you to install video software and the like on Win2k with no problems. It's been rock stable for me with 256mB RAM. This way I can use Win2k for my needs and my ten year old can play The Sims, Age of Empires, etc on the Win98 partition with little fear of him destroying my Win2k install. Also, if you have something like Drive Image, you can store images of the Win98 partition on D and the Win2k partition on C. That way you always have a reasonable recent backup. Works great.

IMO, I would be hesitant to rely on a manually installed version of W2k if I could get it preinstalled with a Recovery CD. I've installed W2k several times on TPs and desktops. My old A20p came with W98 and I installed W2k. It worked OK, but then I got a hold of the W2k recovery disk. That was a much more stable install of this complex OS. I don't think you can dual boot the recovery disks for two different OS's can you?

I would think that anything with the right voltage and current specs would be OK but I am leary to experiment. Mostly I would use it for powering the laptop in the vehical, not so much to just charge the battery. One more expensive but more flexible option I noted was the use of an inverter to convert the car power to house current, then plug the regular AC power cord into that.

Actually the wrong cable. They were branded for Dell I think, but they worked in many TPs assuming you had the correct cable. I have a spare, and might trade it for a cable. E-mail me directly if you are interested. The problem with mine is either in the cable or the controller. :-( As far as the stickers, two things that have worked for me on various surfaces are heat, like from a blow dryer, and peanut butter. Not at the same time though. Heat might not work if the paper from the sticker is already gone but it is worth a gentle try. Peanut butter has enough oil in it to dissolve the sticky stuff, and the peanut flour acts like a very gentle abrasive. You may have to rub on it a while. It usually works well, but then you have to remove the peanut butter and I have never tried that on a TP. Good luck with those sweet machines. BTW, is there anyone on the list with a 701 in the Skagit/Whatcom county area? Even as far as King County or Vancouver BC? I'd love to try another cable to see if that is it before I spring for one that may not solve my problem. Thanks.

It can be done if you have the ability to HIDE/UNHIDE partitions using something like PartitionMagic or DriveCopy. We were talking about this not too long ago and I did a couple of experiments with one of my 600s and a spare 6GB drive. I was able to run both my W95 and W98 recovery CDs to the same drive and dual-boot without any conflicts. In fact, I think I still owe Bill Morrow a how-to on this.

You will need to do a few things before you add W2K. First, I'm not familiar with the A series machines and I don't know if the 32GB HD in your machine is formatted as one enormous C: partition or if it is broken into multiple partitions. Hopefully the latter, as this will allow you to use the W98 recovery CD at anytime without affecting the W2K installation if you follow this advice. See: http://www.thinkpads.com/hints.htm for some thoughts on this. If there is only one partition, get PartitionMagic or similar software and re-partition the drive into several FAT32 partitions. Last, but not least, make sure your CD is set as the first boot device in your BIOS. (I have all my machines set to boot from CD, Floppy, HD1 and HD2, in that order.) Check here and download all the W2K drivers to a folder on your C: drive: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-4JSQHA.html You'll want the Audio Features, the correct modem drivers, the Trackpoint IV driver and the Video Features driver. The Thinkpad Configuration Utility is the same as the one for W98, so you can install it from your CD. Now we're ready to install W2K. Put the W2K CD in the drive and boot the machine. You'll be prompted to "strike any key" if you wish to boot from the CD, do so. The installation utility will begin and will ask you where you would like to install W2K. The default drive will read C:, but change this to D:. The utility will ask if you want to reformat the drive in NTFS, answer NO! W2K will run and function just fine on a FAT32 partition. During the scan of the system the installation utility will detect the previous W98 install and ask if you want to overwrite it or dual boot between the systems, select dual boot. W2K will then install the boot manager to the root of the C: partition and from then on you'll be prompted on bootup for your choice of OS. By default, the system will boot into W2K if there is no input from you but this may be changed later, along with the time allowed for input before the bootup default is started. Install all the drivers you downloaded and the installation is complete.

Denatured alcohol is great stuff. I use it to thin and clean leather dye! It's also great for cleaning up ink stains even after dried. The need for the alcohol in the solution is for two small reasons, one to loosen any skin oils or daily greasy things, and also to evaporate the water quicker. I would go as far as saying that denatured alcohol might eventually deteriorate the membrane of the LCD. I too use and would recommend the distilled water. If you're tap water has a lot of minerals or calcium I can help but belive that would over time scratch the LCD. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Bay" To: "Sashka" Cc: "ThinkPad List" Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2001 5:31 AM Subject: Re: cleaning lcd > Windex has components that will harden and yellow your screen.

I know the port hardware works because under W95 if I do a test page from the printer driver setup in says 'out of paper'. If I ground the paper status line it changes to 'offline'. I can then ground the offline line etc... I have heard of the 'Thinkpad EPP bug' but can't find any more details on this. I've tried setting the port to unidirectional, but the effects were the same.

The machine flatly refuses to charge a battery. When I turn the machine all of the lights along the keyboard display light up for a second, and the machine works fine in general. Except if never charges batteries. I've bought a new battery for the machine and that didn't work. I've also replaced the DC D/C charge unit on the machine. I've tested the power supply and it reads 16 volts with no problem. I am fairly sure that the replacement parts, which I used are in good condition, but as I bought them through eBay I'm not %100 sure. Yesterday I went to Radio shack to try out one of their universal laptop power supplies. After plugging in the adapter (rated at 35 watts) at first the adapter didn't work and then we went over to a different outlet and tried out the machine again. The sales rep changed the tip on the adapter to negative and plugged the adapter into the back of the machine. Some smoke came out from the left side of the machine and I quickly unplugged everything. Well I was quite upset, but when I got home I found that everything still passed except for my memory that died. (I had some spare) I opened the machine up and I found a small chip near where the power comes into the unit slightly deformed on the top. Every where else on the system board seemed to be visible fine. Of course the battery doesn't charge still... So I'm wondering if there is any possibility that the systemboard could be the source of all my troubles? Has anyone had similar experiences?

Anyone who installs an SMTP server on their own machine should make sure it does not allow connections from anywhere else. Don't assume that the default installation options have the correct security settings! Configure it to accept connections only from localhost, and *test* it by trying to connect to it from elsewhere on the Internet. Any decent server should allow you to configure it so no one else can access it. VPOP3, which I use, can be configured this way. (I don't recall what its default settings are.) I hope the PointCast Server which was just recommended can also be configure securely--I'll be interested to find out. (Although this topic isn't directly related to ThinkPads, I hope it may be of interest to a fair number of ThinkPad users who face the problem of sending email while connected to the Internet in different ways.) -Mike From cph Mon Jan 8 13:18:06 2001 Return-Path: Received: from cs.utk.edu (cs.utk.edu [128.169.94.1]) by zurich.ai.mit.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id NAA00431 for ; Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:18:05 -0500 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA03209; Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:18:01 -0500 (EST) Received: by cs.utk.edu (bulk_mailer v1.13); Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:15:51 -0500 Received: from astro.cs.utk.edu (marvin@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA02897; Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:15:50 -0500 (EST) Received: from astro.cs.utk.edu (128.169.93.168 -> astro.cs.utk.edu) by cs.utk.edu (smtpshim v1.0); Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:15:51 -0500 Received: (from moore@localhost) by astro.cs.utk.edu (cf 8.9.3) id NAA08703 for dist-thinkpad@cs.utk.edu; Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:15:49 -0500 (EST) Received: from smtp06.mail.onemain.com (marvin@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id NAA01654; Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:04:28 -0500 (EST) Received: from smtp06.mail.onemain.com (63.208.208.73 -> SMTP-OUT003.ONEMAIN.COM) by cs.utk.edu (smtpshim v1.0); Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:04:28 -0500 Received: (qmail 16819 invoked from network); 8 Jan 2001 18:04:04 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO CALLISTO) ([199.1.56.7]) (envelope-sender ) by 10.209.20.36 (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP for ; 8 Jan 2001 18:04:04 -0000 Message-ID: <005801c0799d$c6bee700$073801c7@twocedars.com> Reply-To: "Terrell Mitchell" From: "Terrell Mitchell" To: Subject: Multiple Monitors on 600X with W2K Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:06:31 -0500 Organization: None MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 List-Unsubscribe: I just joined this list, it looks like a lot of good information. I have a 600X 650MHZ with 192MB and a 600E 366MHZ with 128MB. Both have sufficient HD space and I have been very pleased with these machines and IBM support. Both are running W2K. I would like to use multiple monitors on the 600X when it is at home, and just use the LCD when traveling. From what I have gathered so far, the only way to do multiple monitors is to use the DOCK, not a port replicator. Then, put a separate video card in the DOCK. Is this true? Also, is it possible to set the machine up to use a 1280x1024 256 color external monitor while in a port replicator, but use the lcd when not connected? That might also work for me. Thanx for any help.

IBM purposely made the male part of the TP power jack too big to accommodate a standard barrel power adaptor, probably because they use opposite polarity from what most others use. I did by mistake plug an old (but good) Panasonic RX-1960 portable tape machine (looking for -6 volts inside) into an AC adaptor for the TP 701 (giving +16 volts inside) and immediately got smoke from the tape machine, but the adaptor is still OK, luckily. Two black cords, tips look the same except on close inspection, didn't follow the trail back to the little boxes themselves (also black), which were hidden neatly away. Results on ebay are variable. I've been pretty lucky. But I did buy an "as is" 701 AC adaptor which the seller described as "may not be working", and he mentioned a piece of tape on the output cord. I "won" the auction, but when it arrived, the input cord was missing, and the damage on the output cord was purely cosmetic. The brick itself was malfunctioning. I couldn't figure out how to get into it, much less repair it, and since IBM warranties parts only to the original purchaser, I now have a rather expensive TP power tip as a spare part. When something doesn't work, I've found that most ebay sellers are willing to go the extra mile (one offered to mail me an empty shipping box)--much more than a lot of retailers--to maintain a good rating, but not this particular individual. Ebay's motto might be: "YMMV". :-) In article <005a01c07970$02d5adb0$3439fccc@azot>, "BlUe hvn@stake" wrote: >I have an IBM 560 133 that I recently bought at eBay.

Netscape 3.04 still works well, but with java problems on many sites. IE 5.01 was much stabler than 5.5 the last time I checked, a few months back. It is faster than NS 3, but has some design inadequacies. Does IE 5 add a lot of registry keys to Win95a ? I've noticed that Regedit searches seems to take forever (often 5 minutes or more). Textbridge 2 added about 2000 registry keys (I happened to have INCTRL log its installation) to my desktop and had disabled the first thing I happened to try (an infrared transfer) after installing it. Fortunately, it uninstalled politely. I was merely out a couple of hours and the cost of the software. I tried Opera on the TP 701, and, aside from not really getting it to work, it has a feel of melting/ morphing. Compare NS 3 (rock solid), IE 5.01 (images and links often come up on the screen before you can actually click them, you have to wait a couple of seconds before you can type a word into the Find box...), but Opera was only moreso. It felt like Jello. No offence to those who like Jello. It's fine for what it is. I like the idea of text-only web browsers, but finally gave up on Lynx (after using it for years) because it does not handle tables. I can do without frames or images or java or javascript in a text-only browser, but not tables. Incidentally, Lynx's "one pass" design is supposed to be responsible for its inability to handle tables. And its "lightning fast" page rendering.

Version 5.01 exists, but I don't like it--it auto crashes on a number of web sites, like yahoo. Overall however Opera is *fantastic*. It's far far FAR smaller than any other graphical browser, and does things quickly. And as people have said it runs just fine on older Win95 machines. As Opera matures, I think it will be the preferable browser. They're already at the top of the compliance heap in terms the various standards out there. Another browser to keep track of is Mozilla (www.mozilla.org), an Open Source graphical browser, which is starting to not be a joke and is now used for real purposes. The cool part about Mozilla of course is that if you don't like a particular aspect of it, you're able to change it.

It is 0x3BC for my A20m. Foy my A20m, the LPT port base can be found in the Config->Parallel port of the BIOS Setup. You can get the LPT port base using DEBUG at the DOS command prompt by type "debug". Then, at the debug command prompt '-', type "d 40:8" and what you get will like 0040:0000 BC 03 00 00 00 00 17 02 x.......... ... where BC is the LSB of the LPT port base and 03 the the MSB of the LPT port base.

That might also work for me. So you'd want ONLY a monitor when connected to a port replicator? The only problem with that is that Windows will not detect a port replicator, so you'll have to manually change your configuration, and that could be a pain. You might get stuck if Win2K shuts down in 1280 mode and tries to start up with the monitor gone. You'd have to use your safe mode options to get your screen back... but it should work just fine.

The modem part appears to be a Xircom (identified as a Xircom MPCI+ Modem 56 WinGlobal). Drat, a win modem! Why doesn't IBM ship a real hardware modem so it would be useful with something other than Windows? As the A21p just might run Sun Solaris 8, I need to shrink the FAT32 single partition so I can free some space for Solaris to install into (it needs unpartitioned space on the drive). Any recommendations for commercial or free tools that would do a reliable job of reconfiguring the disk. Disk is the 32 GB IBM shipped with W2K - I haven't added much yet so the drive is mostly empty. Or other suggestions? I do like the 1600x1200 display running at 32-bit/pixel. Really sharp. Fonts are a bit small but with my reading glasses, everything seems fine so far. Sure is nice having a built in ethernet card as compared with PCMCIA on earlier ThinkPads (I've used a 755CX, 765D and 770E).

There has to be something active in it for Win2k to know. So, you could do this, but it would only help if you set it to ask you at reboot, which kinda defeats the purpose, anyway. I just suspend and use Fn-F7 to get it to the right screen.

You could try calling IBM and whingeing about your poor, dead, battery. There was a selective, non-advertised recall of 600 and 600E batteries a while back that would get you a new one without a lot of difficulty. But this was on NEW batteries that died within a few months. If only the 3 year warranty applied to batteries!

You have to be able to "hide" one of the primary partitions from the other in order to use the two recovery CDs. You have rather limited choices when restoring. Basically, wipe the whole drive or recover to the primary partition. That's it. Using a W98 recovery CD to C: and a retail copy of W2K to D: works very well. Won't work the other way though as the W2K recovery CD wouldn't be aware of the W98 installation on D: and setup the boot manager.

I then shut down and rebooted, with the adapter and a SmartMedia inserted. At that point, the boot process got stuck in the middle (probably same situation you experienced). What I did was to eject the SmartMedia from the Delkin adapter, after which the boot process continued. When W2K was up, I re-inserted the SmartMedia and it was recognised once again.

I went to "administrative tools", "local security policies", "local policies", "security options". There I found a policy called "Disable CTRL+ALT+DEL requirement". I turned its value to "enabled". So now the "disable requirement" is enabled, which should mean there's no requirement at all, shouldn't it ;-). So now I no longer have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL, but still have to enter a password. I will therefore have to look where to disable the password ... OK, I changed the password to none (I had "minimum password length" set to "0 characters" in "password policy"). Now I'm still presented with the logon screen and only have to press OK. Next question: how do I get rid of the logon screen altogether?

PostCast doesn't seem to handle multiple recipients very well at all. I've realized in the last day or two that when messages are addressed to more than one recipient or CC'd to more than one person, only the first address in each field (To and CC) actually receives the message. Obviously, this is a serious flaw and has forced me to resume my search for a good (and inexpensive) SMTP server. I may just break down and install Win2K on my notebook and run the IIS SMTP service. It's "free" in that it's included with the OS which I've already paid for but have yet to install. :-) Since this was discussed previously on this list, I wanted to make anyone who may have started using the program aware of this deficiency. Apologies for the non-TP-related post.

Does it actually ship? Here in Germany the most important Computer magazine was running a test on Laptops with preinstalled Linux in the last edition. Even though IBM offers such a beast on their website, they were not able to borrow, rent, buy, steal or otherwise get such a beast within 2 months. So much for IBM's support of Linux.

I haven't tried the SDD drivers so cannot say whether they ought to work. I did not bother installing Win-OS2 support though, so that is a significant difference in our situations. As for suspend on the UltraBay, do you mean the Fn-F4 toggle? If so, it works fine on the 570, although its not as useful as it could be because my network connections (LAN (Xircom CE3-100B) and wireless (IBM)) do not wake up. So most of the time I have to shutdown and restart anyhow. Warp runs great on the machine. To put it mildly, I was surprised to go to IBM after buying the 570 and learning that Warp was not supported! Worried about some funky hardware and no driver support, I went to Dr. Martinus's OS/2 notebook site and learned there's no issue. The hardware is used in other IBM machines that are supported and the drivers can be used. Most of the drivers come from those for the 600 series. I've not had the 570 for such a long time (about 4 months now) to say I've discovered useful tricks etc. The only typical capability I've not tested under Warp is the IR port, just haven't gotten around to it. As I mentioned, I'm running Warp 4 fp14 with little modification beyond that. I really need to install PC/2. BTW my 570 also boots the Win98 it came with and Linux (SuSe 6.4). Getting everything in and on a boot manager was a mess until I bought a copy of System Commander. From that point it was almost trivial to get everything to cooperate. Of course. Win98 is a mess - I almost never use it but it is a crap shoot whether the OS decides it needs to start in a safe mode. Linux runs wonderfully, although the network connection performance is poor compared to Warp. I probably use Warp 60-70% of the time now with the balance in Linux.

Well, yeah, of course. But how often do you want to multi-task while you're watching a movie? Set your display to 265 colors (that's all a DVD movie really supports) in XGA and the 600E will rock!

The RFCs are the agreements by which "stuff" on the Internet works. If people want to build things that don't conform or aren't compatible, that's fine. But, if they don't conform to the appropriate RFCs (in this case, 821, 822 and all related ones), then they cannot call what they have an SMTP server. It doesn't speak SMTP. It speaks some other mail transfer protocol that has some compatibility with systems that understand SMTP, but it breaks the protocol, and thus should be banned from the Internet and all systems connected to it. Yeah, I feel strongly about it. BTW, I think that running the Win2k SMTP server works great on my T20. I also think running Sendmail, Qmail, or any of the other real MTAs under any OS from Linux to Win95 is great for a Thinkpad, as well. Just please, let's not have software that breaks the standards!

Dave, I suggest trying VPOP3. I've been using it for a year or so and have had no problems with it. It's easy to set up and it will do what you want. It does handle multiple recipients correctly. The Home version would be all you need, and there's a 30 day trial. http://www.pscs.co.uk/products/vpop3/ Or as you mentioned, install Windows 2000. It runs real nice on ThinkPads.

Or the need to buy more expensive equipment and software. Hackers burrow into our system all the time in attempts to use our system to send out large numbers (thousands) of spam emails to other addresses. They reside inside existing accounts for only a few hours then send bursts of spam mail. As far as we know, our engineers have caught them in every attempt, but one of the easy ways you can block this is to prevent multiple copies. Otherwise, you have to have an engineer farming for hackers using various tricks and software that usually take significant person-hours. There is software that will do some of this, but it is incredibly expensive.

They say that they are not able to check the Card. I think they do not want (need) to complicate themself. They would only have to make a call to the Bank here. Thanks for any help. ***************************************************************** Harry Teszler Regards from Montevideo, Uruguay. ***************************************************************** From cph Wed Jan 10 14:48:24 2001 Return-Path: Received: from cs.utk.edu (cs.utk.edu [128.169.94.1]) by zurich.ai.mit.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id OAA23454 for ; Wed, 10 Jan 2001 14:48:24 -0500 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with SMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA21333; Wed, 10 Jan 2001 14:48:21 -0500 (EST) Received: by cs.utk.edu (bulk_mailer v1.13); Wed, 10 Jan 2001 14:47:36 -0500 Received: by cs.utk.edu (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA21060; Wed, 10 Jan 2001 14:47:35 -0500 (EST) Received: from prserv.net (marvin@localhost) by cs.utk.edu with ESMTP (cf v2.9s-UTK) id OAA21032; Wed, 10 Jan 2001 14:47:28 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <200101101947.OAA21032@cs.utk.edu> Received: from prserv.net (32.97.166.34 -> out4.prserv.net) by cs.utk.edu (smtpshim v1.0); Wed, 10 Jan 2001 14:47:28 -0500 Received: from localhost ([166.72.251.191]) by prserv.net (out4) with SMTP id <2001011019471920405lu2eie>; Wed, 10 Jan 2001 19:47:20 +0000 From: "Dr. Jeffrey Race" To: "POSSI Newsgroup" , "OS2 Users Group" , "Thinkpad Users Group" Cc: "Dr. Jeffrey Race" Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 14:46:14 +0700 Reply-To: "Dr. Jeffrey Race" Priority: Normal X-Mailer: PMMail 1.96a For OS/2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Cross-post: ZIP drive for Thinkpad 600E on OS/2?

Again conflicting answers from the theoreticians at the 800#s. I need to hear from people who have made it work (or failed trying). 3-What drive part number is supported under OS/2? What gotchas if any? (The sweet IBM tech support lady to whom I just spoke said it would "probably" work but she didn't know. She didn't know who made OS/2. She was surprised when I told her that her employer engineered it and sold it. 4-If the internal zip drive option fails, what external options are there under OS/2?

I have an OEM install copy of WIN 98 SE with boot disk, but not sure if it will allow my PCMCIA CD to work, any help would be appreciated. Jim.

AOL 5.0 is available for W2K: http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/cdt.adp?139331 or give them a call and they'll ship you a CD. As to your PCMCIA problem, is there another SMARTMEDIA adapter mfr. whose drivers you could try? I had to do this with the SMARTMEDIA USB adapter I got for my new Olympus.

I have a FlashPath floppy adapter, but is too slow, I am transfering 64 to 128 mb a day, the PCMCIA was super fast. If I buy a USB I suppose I could handle the slightly slower transfer as the files are small except when sucked through a serial, parallel or floppy.
