SLIPCommander contains lots of great ideas that you would ever think of doing over your SLIP connection. Check this out if you are a serious SLIPper. CheckSums ========= nextbaby> ls -l SLIPCommander3.21.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 garyc 524466 Aug 19 11:35 SLIPCommander3.21.tar.gz nextbaby> sum SLIPCommander3.21.tar.gz 35864 513 Version 3.21 Improvements & bug fixed ===================================== * SLIPCommander is now FAT, in MAB format for both NeXT Black hardware and Intel boxes. (not sure about whether it will still be compatible with SLIP/Intel or not! But worth a try anyway) * Yes, you may send out NeXT-Mails off-line to save connection cost. SLIPCommander now automatically flushes the mail queue where your outgoing mails are stored while SLIP was inactive. * A bug in BackUp Plan that caused incomplete Plain Directory backup has been fixed. * Change the default button in the disconnecting alert panel to be <Disconnect> instead of <Cancel>. * Added a <cmd-M> for GetMail short-key. ================= From About.rtfd ============================================ SLIPCommander.app is a NeXTStep Interface to the SLIP commands provided in the TransSys DialUpIP SLIP package by Louis A. Mamakos. Installation of the latest SLIP_v1.pkg version 920904 is highly recommended. SLIPCommander simplifies the SLIP connection/disconnection process as well as 'rlogin' and retrieving mails from multiple remote sites. A set of very informative panel buttons are used to provide a NeXTStep looks & feels Interface. All the features are further enhanced by a built-in CRON that can be set to download mails and news while you are away from your NeXT. And the Backup Plan creates a Mirroring disk of your local NeXT on your SLIP connected remote account. Multiple sites mail retrieval and rlogin are no longer a hassle. Plus the TimeSync with remote host via your SLIP connection. If you use SLIP connection a lot, you will find SLIPCommander a very sexy companion along with your NeXT. So, don't SLIP out without SLIPCommander. What's in the SLIPCommander? ============================ * TimeSync with remote time keeper. * Toggle SLIP with connection/disconnection button. * NeXTMails are always just a 'click' away. * Auto-redial within time-out on a busy phone line . * Monitoring your SLIP connection status. * Toll-Saver clock showing the total connection time. * Retrieving Mails from multiple accounts on remote sites. * Need more dock space? Automatically 'rlogin' into remote sites using Stuart. * Backup plan for remote to/from local storage backups (Disk Mirroring). * CRON clock, a silent worker, which wakes up at a specific time to do things such as retrieving mails, downloading news, ftp, backups, synchronize system clock,...,etc. garyc@eecs.nwu.edu (NeXT-Mail O.K)
