==============================================================================

Q2-2:  Which Internet books are recommended for a Internet beginner?

  Ed Krol, "The Whole Internet User's Guide & Catalog"

==============================================================================

Q2-3:  Can I have Linux and NT installed on the same pc?


Thanks to Mark Cooke (ee2015@mail.bristol.ac.uk) for the following
answer.

You can use LILO with the linux partition active
in the superblock instead of the MBR.  Using LILO
you can choose between DOS/NT and Linux.  Then I
use NT's boot manager to choose between Dos and NT.

Installed Dos first, then Linux, and then NT.

==============================================================================

Q2-4:  Where can I find the GNU binaries for NT?

ftp://ftp.cc.utexas.edu/microlib/nt/gnu

==============================================================================

Q2-5:  Where is the port of GNU gcc to NT? Is it version 2.6.+ ?

You can ftp  gcc-2.6.0  from  ftp.cs.yale.edu /pub/gnat
(This release includes both the C and Ada front ends. There is
also a .hlp file for gcc in MS-HELP format)

==============================================================================
SECTION 3: Connectivity Hardware
==============================================================================

Q3-1:  Where can I locate the latest Microsoft Windows NT 3.5
hardware compatibility list?

You can locate the HCL on FTP.MICROSOFT.COM in the following URL path:

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-docs/hcl/hcl35

==============================================================================

Q3-2:  I'm having trouble installing a SMC 8016 combo network card

The SMC Elite16 cards work with NT V3.5 if you use the latest
driver.  You can get the latest driver from their bbs.
They have a bbs at (714) 707-2481 or from the following ftp site.
ftp://sjf-lwp.novell.com

The SMC tech support email address is techsupt@ccmail.west.smc.com

==============================================================================

Q3-3:  What is the recommended modem.inf entry for USR 28.8 modems?

Thanks to Christopher Browne (cbrowne@usr.com) at USR for the
recommended MODEM.INF for various USR modems.

This is the .INF as we have it now. It's been tested on NT 3.1 / 3.5
andWfW 3.11 with great success. I've been able to use all of our
modems from the Courier v.34 down to the Sportster 9600 data/fax.

The MAXCONNECTBPS is set at 38400 so that this file works with most
of the installed base of modems. We only started supporting > 57600
with the Courier V.32t.

The MAXCARRIERBPS is set but any dce-dce rate that is reported at
connect isignored since the port is locked. The first release of
this file was in error since it did not contain the &B1 command
and this caused considerable pain for a few folks. My apologies!

Using ITU-T as our default allows a USR modem to connect with more
than USR modems at higher dce rates. This can be changed runtime by
the user either through the phone number "123-123-1234B0" or by
changing the INF file. I would prefer to see the phone number used
so that the modem stays in a more compatible mode by default.

"Personal Internet Access Using SLIPP or PPP: How You Use It,
How it Works" by Frank Hecker
FTP//ftp.digex.net/pub/access/hecker/internet/slip-ppp.txt

==============================================================================

Q4-2:  Where do I find SLIP/PPP for NT?  How do I install SLIP/PPP for NT?


A.)  Double click on the Main program group
B.)  Double click on Network
C.)  Click on add software
D.)  Choose Remote Access Service

==============================================================================

Q4-3:  Help: My RAS PPP/SLIP connection is not working?

You probably have one of three problems either the slip link is not
working, or your NT system is not accessing the UNIX service DNS,
or the IP routing is messed up between your NT system and your slip
providers UNIX network.

1.) Can you ping any addresses on the other end of the slip or ppp
link?  Try pinging the UNIX server or the gateway. Drop to DOS and
use the ping command. Use the numeric IP address.

2.) Try turning VJ compression off.  Sometimes telnet and FTP will
not work if you have VJ compression on and the system you are
connected to does not support VJ compression.  If you are using
TIA be sure and set the NT option for VJ compression to off.
Since, TIA does not support VJ compression.

3.) Check and confirm that the following are correct:
Double click on the Main program group icon, then double click on
the Control Panel icon, then double click on Network icon, select
the TCP/IP protocol and click on the configure button.  Click on

DNS and verify the following is correct:

A.)  The Host Name for your PC
B.)  Your Domain Name
C.)  Add the proper DNS IP address or addresses for your slip/ppp
     service.

Click on OK to confirm DNS changes
Click on OK to close out the TCP configuration dialog.
Click on OK to close the Network configuration dialog.

If you are not sure please ask slip/ppp service providers system
admin. to confirm them for you.

4.) Drop the baud rate to 9600, some UARTs do not work above 9600
without UART receiver overruns.

5.) Finally try finding someone else who is using NT slip or ppp
at your location.  Ask the system admin. if anyone else is
successfully running NT via slip or ppp.

6.) Can you dial in using slip or ppp from a known working system
using your username and password?

7.) Are you using dynamic IP addressing (bootp)?

With slip you will have to manually login using Rasphone and
then type your IP into the little white box at the lower right
side of the screen and click on the DONE button.  For PPP you
can automate the login follow the directions under question no.
27 below.  Also a NT workstation using RAS to dial into a NT
server will work with dynamic IP if the NT server is configured
for DHCP.

8.) Are you using a static IP address?

The first time you dial in using the RAS SLIPP use the manual
login option, you will get a screen a 0.0.0.0 IP address displayed
in a white box at the bottom of the screen.  Type in your assigned
SLIP IP address and click on the DONE button.  The IP address will
be written into the rasphone.pbk as the SlipIpAddress=NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN
entry under the currently active selection in the rasphone.pbk file
located in the /winnt35/system32/ras directory.


9.) After you dial in and login in shell out to does and see what
the netstat -rn utility shows.

My netstat -rn returned the following info after my slip link is
connected.  My IP address is 198.60.143.32 and my slip service
providers gateway is 168.158.8.5

Network Address Netmask   Gateway Address Interface    Metric
0.0.0.0   0.0.0.0   198.60.143.32 198.60.143.32   1

==============================================================================

Q4-4:  Where can I find a UUCP implementation for NT?

  You'll find UUCP on ftp.cica.indiana.edu

==============================================================================
SUBSECTION 4A: Server
==============================================================================

Q4A-1:  Does 3.5's RAS support dynamic ip addressing?

Yes NTAS V3.5 allows you to setup up a range of address that
the remote ras clients can request. This is called dynamic addressing
or bootp.  and it works.  The NTAS server is configured as a DHCP server.
When the remote pc calls in via RAS and is authenticated the NTAS server
assigns the remote pc an IP from the pool of unused IP addresses.

==============================================================================

Q4A-2:  If a remote user dials into a NT 3.5 PPP server, will this person
be able to

A.)  Use File Manager or Net Use commands to access NetBIOS-based shared
drives?

Yes, if the remote user is using NT Workstation V3.5 or WFWG V3.1 RAS.

No, if the remote user is using most third party PPP implementations
such as Chameleon TCP/IP, Spry Air Series 3.0, and Trumpet SLIP/PPP
Winsock.  Most of the third party TCP/IP software packages do not
support NETBIOS SMB over a remote slip/ppp connection.


B.)  Use a POP mail client to connect to a POP server?


Yes, if the remote user is using NT Workstation V3.5 and RAS PPP
with the TCP/IP option enabled on both ends of the RAS link.

Eudora email works great with NT V3.5 for SMTP and POP3
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/eudora/windows/1.4/beta
filename eud143b4.exe

No, if the remote user is using WFWG V3.1 RAS.  The WFWG RAS does
not support PPP and TCP/IP.  WFWG V3.1 RAS supports NETBEUI only.

==============================================================================

Q4A-3:  Where can I get DNS for NT?

The Windows NT 3.5 resource kit is supposed to include a DNS software
package, there is also a third  party product called 'DNS Magic' that
runs as a NT Service, company is 'Software Innovations'
(winnt#innov.com)

==============================================================================
SUBSECTION 4B: Client
==============================================================================

Q4B-1:  Where do I configure the RAS TCP/IP settings for PPP connections?


Thanks to Tom Horsley (Tom.Horsley@mail.csd.harris.com) for his
suggestion of configuring PPP from the Rasphone.

Instead of configuring PPP starting from the Network entry on the
control panel, I find that I can configure those details
from the RAS program's phonebook in the Advanced edit dialog. This
actually makes perfect sense because the details are likely to be
different for each phone number.


For PPP you can configure the TCP/IP settings as follows:

Double click on the Remote Access icon.
Highlight the proper entry then click on the EDIT button.
Click on Advanced if set to Basic.
Click on Network button (Displays the Network Protocol Settings Dialog)
Check the PPP option.
Click on TCP/IP Settings
If using dynamic IP addresses, check "Use server assigned IP addresses".
If using a static IP address, check "Require specific IP address" and
fill in your assigned address.

and enter the primary and backup DNS IP addresses.  The
backup DNS is optional.

If your provider supports compressed ppp, check Use VJ compression.
and also check the use default gateway on remote network.

==============================================================================

Q4B-2:  Where do I configure the TCP/IP settings for SLIP connections?

Double click on the Main program group icon, then double click on
the Control Panel icon, then double click on Network icon, select
the TCP/IP protocol and click on the configure button.  Click on

DNS and verify the following is correct:

A.)  The Host Name for your PC
B.)  Your Domain Name
C.)  Add the proper DNS IP address or addresses for your slip/ppp
     service.

Click on OK to confirm DNS changes
Click on OK to close out the TCP configuration dialog.
Click on OK to close the Network configuration dialog.

NOTE: You will have to setup Rasphone to manually dial the first time you
make a slip connection.  Set the security options to "Use clear text
Terminal login only", and set the Before and After Scripts to NONE.  Then
select/highlight your entry and click on Dial. You will manually login
the first time you dialup for the slip connection, after the valid login
using your username and password type slip<cr> at the remote servers
command prompt, then type your IP into the little white box at the
lower right side of the screen and click on the DONE button.

==============================================================================

Q4B-3:  Example login scripts for various Internet providers


Example login script for MCS.Net in Chicago

Macro Computer Solutions (MCS-DOM)
3217 N. Sheffield
Chicago, IL  60657
(312) 248-8649

Domain Name: MCS.COM, MCS.NET
Administrative Contact, Technical Contact
Denninger, Karl  karl@MCS.NET

substitute your username and password in place of the USERNAME
and PASSWORD The MCS net server uses the commands login and
password; if your's uses different words, substitute as needed.


Here's the MCS.NET script thanks to Walter S. Arnold
(sculptor@mcs.net) switch.inf file, pretty basic but it works
with both PPP and Slip.

  [McsNet, SLIP]

  COMMAND=<cr>
  ERROR_NO_CARRIER=<match>"NO CARRIER"
  OK=<match>"login:"

  COMMAND=sculptor<cr>
  ERROR_NO_CARRIER=<match>"NO CARRIER"
  OK=<match>"Password:"

  COMMAND=*************<cr>
  ERROR_NO_CARRIER=<match>"NO CARRIER"
  CONNECT=<match>"Packet mode enabled"
  ;ERROR_DIAGNOSTICS=<cr><lf><Diagnostics>

  ; CONNECT response means that the connection completed fine.
  ; ERROR_DIAGNOISTICS response means connection attempt failed
  ;  DIAGNOSTIC information will be extracted from the response
  ;  and sent to the user.
  ; ERROR_NO_CARRIER means that the remote modem hung up.
  ; ERROR resonses are for generic failures.

==============================================================================

Q4B-4:  How do I automate my slip/ppp login using the switch.inf
script language?

You will need to edit the switch.inf file in winnt35/system32/ras

Q4B-5:  How do I avoid having to click on the DONE button to complete the
slip/ppp connect when using rasphone?

I wrote two batch files for using rasdial and it worked great!
The first rasdial batch file is for initiating the connection.
I then added to icons one for calling the startnet.bat and one
for calling the stopnet.bat, you can use the open door icon for
startnet and the close door icon for stopnet.  Place these batch
files in the winnt directory so they are in the Win NT path.
Type path at the command prompt for path details.  You can get
the command line options for rasdial by typing

rasdial /help

The startnet.bat file contains one line as follows:

rasdial evergreen

and the stopnet.bat file contains one line as follows:

rasdial evergreen /DISCONNECT

==============================================================================

Q4B-6:  How do I bypass my slip/ppp service providers long banner text
in the script language?

The following is one method submitted by (Chris Pirih)
pirih@eskimo.com

Chris indicates that a better way to do this is as follows:

        COMMAND=mypassword<cr>
        OK=<match>"unity%"
        LOOP=<ignore><cr>
        COMMAND=ppp<cr>

The following is a second method submitted by Jason John Schwarz
(jschwarz@gandalf.ksmith.com)

For the following example:

OK for those other people who's host sends long strings of stuff
when they initially login here is a fix, I admit it is not pretty,
and if somebody has a better one I would like to see it, but this
works at my site, and it seems to be the only thing that does work.

Q4B-7:  Does anyone know how to put in a delay in switch.inf scripts?

Our Shiva system requires about 10 seconds to initialize before
starting PPP.

Try repeating the following script commands five times in your login
script.

==============================================================================

Q4B-8:  How do I get dynamic IP working for slip or ppp?

I do not have the dynamic IP working for SLIP connections.
This is because I do not know how to parse the IP and then transfer
the dynamically assigned IP to the proper RAS variable.  I asked
Microsoft for additional information on the script language and I
was told that the NT 3.5 resource kit is supposed to have
additional documentation on the switch.inf script language but it
is not released yet (supposed to be released soon).

SLIP with dynamic IP

You will have to interactively logon to a SLIP server by manually
entering name, password, and "slip" to enter slip mode and recieve
the dynamic IP address. I copied the address to the address box in
the RAS terminal IP address box. Don't forget to enter the DNS IP
addressby configuring TCP/IP ( control panel \ network \ advanced \
enable DNS & DNS... ).  Scripting
examples are included in other sections of this FAQ.


After searching for where rasphone stuck my IP address, and I
found it in the rasphone.pbk entry.

The first time I ran the SLIP login script via Rasphone book
entry I got a screen with a DONE button and the 0.0.0.0 IP


address was in a white box at the bottom of the screen.  I typed
in my SLIP static IP address and clicked on the DONE button.
This then was written into the rasphone.pbk as the
SlipIpAddress=198.60.143.32 entry in the Evergreen section of
the rasphone.pbk file in /winnt35/system32/ras

Below is the rasphone.pbk entry for my Evergreen slip connection
which uses my static IP address.

I played around with a PPP connection using dynamic
IP and it worked fine.  This works because the PPP protocol
negotiates the proper IP addresses for each end of the link
and the appropriate MTU etc.

Q4B-9:  Will the NT slip work with TIA?

Yes NT slip will work with a TIA SLIP-via-shell account.
However, Ping and traceroute will not work with a TIA
SLIP-via-shell account adapter, also TIA does not support
VJ compression.

==============================================================================

Q4B-10:  If I use WFWG V3.11 RAS to connect to a NTAS V3.5
server can I use telnet and FTP?

No, the WFWG V3.11 RAS uses the NETBEUI protocol and does
not support the TCP/IP protocol.

You can use Peter Tattam's Trumpet Winsock which supports
slip and ppp.

FTP//ftp.trumpet.com.au:/ftp/pub/beta/winsock
filename twsk20b.zip

==============================================================================

Q4B-11:  I am using Windows V3.1 or WFWG V3.11. Can I use Peter Tattam's
Trumpet winsock software to connect to the NT V3.5 RAS using SLIP or PPP?
What are the required configuration settings for NT and Trumpet to
make this work correctly?

Yes you can use the Trumpet PPP protocol to dial-in to a NT RAS PPP server.

Note, you can not use SLIP for this connection since NT V3.5 RAS only
supports PPP for dial-in access.

However you can setup a WFWG PPP connection into a NT RAS server by
using the new Trumpet 2.0B winsock.  Setup Trumpet for PPP with PAP
authentication as follows:

Setup the following configuration for the NT RAS and TCP/IP as follows:

Using the Registry editor set the following parameters:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP

ForceEncryptedData  REG_DWORD   0
ForceEncryptedPassword  REG_DWORD   0

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

IPEnableRouter    REG_DWORD 1

Setup the Windows NT V3.5 for DHCP with a pool of available IP addresses.

Install the Trumpet Winsock by following the directions in Peter's
install documentation.  Add the path to the Trumpet directory containing
the winsock.dll to your PATH statement in your Autoexec.bat.

Make sure you do not have any other vendors winsock.dll files in other
directories which are in the DOS path.  If you do, rename them or delete
them.

Setup the Trumpet for PPP with your IP set to 0.0.0.0 and the gateway
set to 0.0.0.0

Turn on PAP authentication and enter your normal NT login
username and password.

When you have finished configuring Trumpet using the Tcpman.exe
using the Setup menu, the settings are stored in the "Trumpwsk.ini"
the contents of this file should look similar to the following:


[Trumpet Winsock]
ip=0.0.0.0

ppp-username="kjdskjaf"
ppp-password="sakfjiej"
win-posn=0 2 636 410 30 415 -1 -1 1
trace-options=0


Use the Tcpman manual login option and type ATDT NNN-NNNNN followed by
a return to initiate a phone call to the NT PPP server.
When you see the modem CONNECT echo, hit the ESCAPE key to start up
the PPP connection negotiation.  Use the TCPMAN trace menu option
with DNS enabled if you want to see the connection negotiations
echoed to the screen.

The Trumpet PPP will handshake with the Windows NT PPP and you will
be authenticated.  You will then see a message on the Trumpet
Tcpman screen saying accepted and then you will see the dynamically
assigned IP address echoed to your screen.

You can use the NT RAS Admin to view the active users after the
PPP PAP authentication is complete.

I was able to run the Netscape WWW client, J Junod's WS_FTP GUI FTP
client, and the Trumpet Telnet client sucessfully.  The DNS name
resolution worked flawlessly.

==============================================================================

Q4B-12:  How do I configure the Chameleon NetManage PPP TCP/IP
to dial-in using PPP to a NT 3.5 RAS PPP server?

Use the NetManage Chameleon version 4.01 or later.

Edit the slip.ini file and confirm that the PPP script contains the
following line:

  "SCRIPT=-n"

Confirm that the PPP client configuration is correct, and that the
defaults are valid.  The router and gateway entries should be all zero.
Double-check your IP address (if dynamic allocation, this should be
0.0.0.0).  The subnet mask should be the default for your IP address
(if dynamic, this will be given during PPP negotiations).
Verify that the login name, password, and domain name are all correct.

If your machine is not physically connected to a network, make sure that
the MS Loopback Adapter is installed.  (That is, if you are using RAS as
your only network connection.)  After adding the MS Loopback Adapter,
the network bindings will be reconfigured.  You will be asked for TCP/IP
settings for the adapter.  Enter your IP address and subnet mask.
Leave the default gateway clear.

Be sure that the Remote Access Service is installed.  Select enable
receiving calls.  Select Control panel, then Remote Access Service, then
Configure, then Network Settings enable TCP/IP in the middle section.
Configure this and allow access to the entire network (this may not be
necessary).  Configure the addresses here (I used a static allocation).
Enable a requested address, if you want the WFW machine to be able to
request a specific address.

Turn on IP routing and RAS forwarding.
Using the Registry Editor, set "IPEnableRouter" (REG_DWORD) to 0x1
in order to enable IP routing.

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

IPEnableRouter  REG_DWORD 1


Note that NTAS users can check this box in
\ControlPanel\Network\TCP/IP\Configure\Advanced

If other clients on the local subnet will be using the NT RAS
server as a router, you should also set the following:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasArp\Parameters

You may need to add the registry key entry "DisableOtherSrcPackets".

Set "DisableOtherSrcPackets" (REG_DWORD) to 0x0 to enable the IP packets
from the other clients on the local ethernet to pass through the
NT gateway.  You can also set it to 0x1 to disable other clients IP
packets.

=============================================================================

Q4B-13:  Where can I find a UUCP communications software package for
Windows NT?

UUPC/extended is a PC based version (and pun of) UUCP (UNIX-to- UNIX
copy).  UUPC/extended is a program which implements peer-to- peer
networking for using the UNIX UUCP protocols.  Windows NT, Windows, MS-DOS
or OS/2 based Personal Computers using these protocols can exchange
mail and files with a UNIX system or other UUPC/extended systems over
dial up or dedicated phone lines.

SUBSECTION 4C: Gateway
==============================================================================

Q4C-1:  How do I enable IP routing between a NTAS server with a PPP/SLIP
connection to the internet and the local IP subnet?

The following is based on the information I received from several
sources, you should enable the following registry entries:

Also, make sure you enable routing on the NTAS servers on both ends of
the PPP to PPP link.

Do not use the same IP address for the local ethernet card and
the RAS PPP to PPP link.  The local ethernet card should have an
IP assigned from you local subnet, and the PPP IP address should
be assigned from the Internet providers subnet you are dialing into
using RAS.

You will have to use the route command to add a static route from the NT server
to other machines on the local subnet.  Use the netstat -rn
command on the NT server to confirm proper routing table entries
after you establish the RAS PPP to PPP link.

Enabling Routing of IP Packets on RAS Clients for NTAS V3.5


\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

IPEnableRouter
REG_DWORD:0x1 Enables IP routing
REG_DWORD:0x0 Disables IP routing



You must set the DisableOtherSrcPackets registry entry on RAS clients
if you want to route IP packets through that RAS client. This parameter
only affects forwarding of packets on the client side--this does not
affect the server.

Note: (I could not find this entry so I assume you must add it.)

The registry path for this entry is:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasArp\Parameters

DisableOtherSrcPackets

REG_DWORD:0x1 Disable IP packets from external sources
REG_DWORD:0x0 Enable IP packets from external sources

Controls the routing of IP packets with an IP source address other than
the IP address of the RAS network adapter card.

Set to 0 packets with source address other than the IP address of the
RAS adapter will be sent.

Set to 1 packets with source address other than the IP address of the
RAS adapter will not be sent.

Default: 1

We received the following message from Carl Byington with comments
on the use of Windows NT as a TCP/IP gateway with IP routing enable.

Re: Routing with PPP works!

Well, it does work but there are some pitfalls.

We have a class C internet network that is subnetted, and my part of it uses the subnet mask
255.255.255.248 - that gives me 8 host addresses, 2 of which are loopback and broadcast so
I can have 6 hosts on my subnet, although I currently have only two machines.  My host
addresses are .17 and .18 and the reserved ones are .16 and .23.

The .18 machine is the secondary machine without a modem.  The .17 machine is the primary
machine with the modem and another IP address for the RAS link.

The RAS link uses IP addresses .9 (the Unix end) and .10 (my end).  Note that this puts the
RAS link on a different network than my local ethernet.

I have SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/RasArp/Parameters/DisableOtherSrcPackets set
to 0 (I had to create this entry).

I have SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Tcpip/Parameters/IPEnableRouter set to 1.

The configuration for .18 is
  default gateway = .17
  dns server address = .130

The configuration for .17 is
  default gateway = .17
  dns = none

The RAS configuration on .17 is
  require specific IP address = .10
  dns server address = .130
  use default gateway on remote network

With that configuration, if I just boot .17, I can ping .18 but not .130 since we are not
connected yet.  After bringing up the RAS link, I can ping .130 and the rest of the world.
HOWEVER, we are not done yet.  Attempts to ping from .17 to .18 cause NT to die with the
blue screen.  This is on the 807 debug build from MSDNII.

So we reboot .17 and this time set a static route to .18 with
  'route add x.x.x.18 x.x.x.17'
reconnect the RAS link and everything works like a charm.  Both .17 and .18 can ping the
world thru the RAS link, and both can run Mosaic.  WHEE!!

It seems that the 'use default gateway on remote network' setting in the RAS tcp/ip dialog
overrides all the local routing unless you have static routes set.  If the local network had a lot
of machines, that would be a real pain.  In my case, I can just have the startup group run a
single route add command.

The other problem is that the route add does not work unless you are logged in with
administrator privileges, and it does not stick around between reboots.  Therefore, after every
reboot, you need to log in as administrator and reset the local static routes.  If you fail to do
this, then bringing up the ras link and pinging local machines kills your machine.  Oh well, at
least the consequences are severe enough that the training time is fairly small.

Thank you very much for all your help with this!

EMWAC's Internet Toolchest for Windows NT
http://emwac.ed.ac.uk/html/internet_toolchest/top.html
The HTTP Server for Windows NT implements the HTTP/1.0 protocol. It runs as a Windows
NT "service", just like the FTP Server which comes with Windows NT. By analogy with the
UNIX HTTP server daemon which is called httpd, the Windows NT HTTP server service is
called https. The HTTP server service is configured using a Control Panel "applet".

Q5A-2:  I have heard that it is possible to create HTML pages with
MS-Word, is there a template, or a set of macros for that purpose. Does any
of you know of such templates/macros, and where can they be found?

You can use CU_HTML which is available via anonymous
ftp from ftp.cuhk.hk in the directory /pub/www/windows/util. It's
a document template for Word 2 or 6. It's well integrated with Word
and includes its own tool bar for commonly used html statements.

Q5B-1: Does anyone know if there is a program which allows you to send
SMTP mail from the command prompt on NT?

Pedro Mendes, (prm@aber.ac.uk) just finished making one such program,
and it is freeware, see below:

WinNT's Blat ver 1.0 has been uploaded to the following FTP sites:

gepasi.dbs.aber.ac.uk:/blat10.zip
ftp.cica.indiana.edu:/pub/pc/win3/nt/blat10.zip

Distributions are in the form of .ZIP files, be sure to user binary
mode FTP to do the transfer.

Blat is a command line SMTP mail client for Windows NT, originally by
Mark Neal and Pedro Mendes. A great part of the code in this program
was produced by the WinVN team (including GENSOCK.DLL).

Both source code and binaries for intel 80486 are distributed.
Recompile the source code if you need it for a different
architecture.

below is a description of the program:

Blat is a Public Domain (generous aren't we?) Windows NT console utility which
will e-mail a file to a user via SMTP. The program requires the "gensock" DLL
(borrowed from WinVN). A Registry entry is generated when the program is used
with the -SMTP flag. This stores the address of the SMTP server, and the
address of the _default_ sender (this may be overridden with the -f flag).
Impersonation can be done with the -i flag which puts the value specified in
place of the senders address in the "From:" line of the header, however if this
is done the real senders address is stamped in the "Reply-To:" and "Sender:"
lines. This can be useful when using the program to send message from NT users
that are not registered on the SMTP host.


SYNTAX:

Blat <filename> [-s <subject>] -t <recipient> -f <address>
  -c <carboncopy> [-i <address>]

Blat -SMTP <server address>
Blat -SMTP <server address> <senders address>
Blat -h

-SMTP <server address>: address of SMTP server,
-SMTP  <server address> <senders address>: address of SMTP host, default sender

<filename>: the file with the message body,
-s <subject>: the (optional) subject line,
-t <recipient>: the recipient's address(es),
-t <recipient>: address(es) for carbon copies,
-f <sender>: the sender's address (must be known to the SMTP server),
-i <address>: a 'From:' address, not necessarily known to the SMTP server.
-h: this help.

Q5B-2:  Where can I find an archie client for NT?

ftp://freebsd.cdrom.com/.5/cica/winsock/wsarch06.zip

==============================================================================

Q5B-3:  Where can I find a rsh for Windows NT to use with a UNIX host?

William Cheung (wcheung@ee.ubc.ca) has developed a program called
WinRSH/WinRSH32 - Remote Shell for Windows 1.6

This is an eighth release of WinRSH - Remote Shell for Windows

The following details what are fixed/improved in this version:

WinRSH 1.6:

1. Added a message bar to display messages internal to WinRSH.

2. Fixed occasional screen garbling bugs.

3. Disconnection from the remote host is now more responsive.

4. Fixed a bug in not able to check the "Log to File" menu once it
   is unchecked.

5. The source code is now distributed as part of WinRSH in the SRC
   directory under the GNU licenses and agreements.

For those who don't know what WinRSH is...

WinRSH contains a very simple user interface to allow a Window's
user to run a program remotely on your workstation using either the
RSH daemon or the REXEC daemon.  The results of the remote execution
are then displayed in a scrollable window.

The following is an excerpt from readme.txt included in the
distribution.

WinRSH - Remote Shell for Windows 1.6
WinRSH32 - Remote Shell for Windows 1.6
Written by William Cheung (wcheung@ee.ubc.ca)
Copyright (C) 1994 William Cheung
All Rights Reserved.

WinRSH/WinRSH32 is free software; you can redistribute it in its entirety
in any form you like.  If you find any bugs, feel free to send me an
email at wcheung@ee.ubc.ca.  Please read "license.txt" for GNU licensing
information.  If you have added new features to WinRSH, please send me
all the source code modifications, including the version of WinRSH that
you are based on.  Your additions may benefit other users.

Requirements

o An IBM-PC or compatible computer using 386 or above CPU with at
  least 4 MB RAM.
o Window Socket installed properly.
o A host supporting at least one of RSH or REXEC daemon.

Downloading Instructions

You can now ftp WinRSH from datacom.ee.ubc.ca [137.82.57.20].  Login
as an anonymous user and change directory to /pub/pc/winsock.  The
file is called wrsh16.zip.
