|
| 2. Assemble the following minimum files (all available via SUPER). Put
| them in some directory (e.g., C:\example\path).
|
|
| filename source function
| -------- ------ --------
| chat.exe (from DOSPPP) dial phone & connect to ISP modem
| epppd.exe (from DOSPPP) load packet driver
| termin.com (from DOSPPP) terminate packet driver (when done)
| pppd.cfg (from DOSPPP, edit as below) configuration for epppd (& chat)
| lxmta.exe (from LXTCP) message transfer agent, mail & news
| lxtelnet.exe (from LXTCP) telnet client
| tcp.cfg (from LXTCP, edit as below) configuration for LXTCP clients
| pnrti.exe (from PNR) message threader
| pnr.exm (from PNR) message reader, mail & news
| pnr.cfg* (from PNR - edit as below) configuration for PNR
|
|
| *must be located in C:\_DAT
|
| Optional files (there are others such as ping, finger, and so on).
|
| lxftp.exe (from LXTCP) ftp client
| lxGftp.exe (from SUPER) graphical ftp client
| ntime.exe (from WATTCP) synch 200LX clock with NTP server
| chat.scr (from DOSPPP) script for chat dialer
|
|
|
| 3. Edit the configuration files.
|
| [pppd.cfg]
| ---Look under Dosppp header----
|
| [tcp.cfg]
| my_ip=bootp
| smtp.server=smtp.yourhost.domain
| pop.server=pop3.yourhost.domain
| pop.username=username
| pop.password="password"
| imap.server=yourhost.domain
| imap.username="heise"
| imap.password=""
| lxmta.nntp.server=news.yourhost.domain
| lxmta.spooldir=c:\example\path\mailbox
| lxmta.newsrc=incoming.jn
|
| Notes:
| *The list above contains just the basic parameters that need to be edited.
| If you have NNTP authentication, you'll need to edit those lines. There
| are also quite a few additional parameters, but the documentation is
| pretty good for most of it, and they are not included here.
| *bootp lets LXTCP get the IP number from the server (for use with dynamic
| IP assignment). The gateway and netmask are probably not needed, you
| can omit those lines.
| *Replace yourhost.domain as appropriate, with the names of your ISP's
| servers for each of these services.
| *Replace username and password with the names you use to get mail
| *Rename lxmta.spooldir=c:\example\path\mailbox and lxmta.newsrc=incoming.jn
| to match the directory names you chose.
|
| [pnr.cfg] (must be in c:\dat directory) The following lines must be in it:
|
| [PNR]
| user=username
| host=yourhost.domain
| name=Firstname Lastname
| folder=c:\example\path\filed
| spool=c:\example\path\mailbox
| timezone=-0500
|
| Notes:
| *The user, host, and name can be whatever you want--they will be used to
| form the From: headers of outgoing messages as in:
| ___ From: Firstname Lastname
| *The folder and spool must match the directory names you picked above.
| *Timezone is relative to GMT, (the -0500 is applicable for Eastern
| Standard Time (U.S.).
|
|
| 4. If you've followed the steps to here, you should be ready to go online.
|
| You'll need to run the programs in DOS, probably with the 200LX System
| Manager terminated, or with MAXDOS. The following command should get
| your PPP connection up:
|
| epppd file pppd.cfg
|
| You actually don't need the "file pppd.cfg" part unless your're using
| some other name for the config file.
|
| Once the packet driver is loaded, you can fire up your TCP applications
| by calling them from the command line. For example, "lxmta"
| by itself will automatically send e-mail and new posts, and download
| mail and posts. The documentation is pretty good on using it once
| you've got the packet driver loaded.
|
| Once you are done online, call termin.com to terminate the packet
| driver and hang up the modem.
|
| 5. Use PNRTI to thread the news, and then PNR to read it. PNR is a
| System Manager compliant program, so you'll need to install it there
| before using it.
|
| --------------------------------
|
| For those of you who may have had some interest in my questions
| about using the environment and hidden files for dialing my ISPs,
| here's my final solution. (for now!) I decided not to include the
| calling card PINs on my 200LX, but enter them each time needed.
| After all, they are only four digits and I don't need them that often.
|
| The batch file is below for anyone interested. It is set up to handle
| my current main options: 2 dialup accounts and two calling cards. I
| have two sets of pppd.cfg, tcp.cfg, and incoming.jn files (one for
| each account's servers), with extensions that match my abbreviation
| for each account.
|
|
| dial.bat¨
|
| :: batch file to logon to selected ISP, download all messages, and logoff

LXTELNEThttp://lxtcp.hplx.net
| A Telnet client.
|
|
| * LXTELNET to telnet to my Linux server or act as an ftp server
| . (if behind my firewall)
|
SSHDOShttp://sshdos.sourceforge.net
| Secure Shell
|
| .* SSHDOS to login to my Linux server (if outside of my firewall)
LXMTAhttp://lxtcp.hplx.net
| Email grabber. Needs another progam to view Supports NEWS, POP, SMTP, and IMAP.
|
| .* LXMTA to exchange news and e-mail (POP and IMAP) with many servers
PNRhttp://hp200lx.net/cgi-bin/search.pl?Query=PNR
| The config file is pnr.cfg. But also some settings are in
| LXTCPs config file. Look under LXTCP to see the pnr.cfg file.
|
|
| * PNRTI to thread news
| * PNR to read news and e-mail
|
| *** PNR
| * Connection via: N/A - It is just a reader
| * Services: Pop3, NNTP, pnrti (threader)
|
|
| PNR (Palmtop News Reader) was originally written by Michael Leaver to read
| newsgroups. It was then enhanced to read email as well. Rod Whitby did a lot
| of work to enhance it but then no longer supported it as he was no longer
| working with an HPLX I have continued enhancing it. It now supports mail and
| news with limited MIME support (Sent attachments are automatically MIME encoded
| Incomuing attachments should be decoded using Munpack.) I am currently working
| on adding rules for sorting incoming mail into different inboxes - including
| automatically saving selected emails into external files.
|
| PNR uses the LXTCP package for its connection to the internet. The program
| LXMTA is used to download/upload mail and news.
|
| > Can PNR also be combined with other TCP software, or only with LXTCP?
|
| This is a great question and jogs my memory on a neat feature I
| have forgotten to mention. PNRTI (the threading utility) reads
| standard UNIX mbox format files. I occasionally take advantage of
| this capability to read newsgroups I don't usually subscribe to on
| the HP200LX. First I fire up slrn on my Linux box, open the group
| I want, mark all the articles, save them to a file, and ftp that
| file to my LX. After threading I've got a nice little bundle of
| posts to read whenever it suits me.
|
| I don't think I've tried it, but I'm pretty sure I could also
| transfer a Pine mail folder to my LX and read it with PNR.
|
| If you get some time, plunk around with both LXTCP and PNR. They are
| very useful. David' latest version of PNR is even more so! Most people
| on this list seem to use WWW/LX. I find PNR very easy to use as well.
| PNR can use any program that downloads a message file as far as I know.
| It parses the download and PNRTI threads it for reading. To use these
| you need a connection of some sort. I have used a modem and pppd in the
| past, but now use an Accton card. To use the accton card, I need LXETH,
| naturally. Then I fire up LXMTA which parses the wattcp.cfg file sends
| out any outbox messages to the SMTP server, finds my pop server and
| downloads my messages, it then also finds my nntp server and downloads
| any newsgroups I have configured in wattcp.cfg. I then terminate the
| ethernet session then run pnrti which threads all the messages for
| reading with PNR. I can then read and reply offline. I automate this
| with a batch file, naturally. It works very nicely, thankyou, as long as
| you can first get a connection. With LXTCP, there is a LXTCPCFG.exe file
| which checks the connection and reports back variables. LXTCP handles
| DHCP decently, but it is not complete nor is it well documented. ROd
| hacked the current version of WATTCP to make this work. I wonder if
| there is a more up to date version of WATTCP which is a bit more complete.
|
ccLXPOPhttp://hp200lx.net/cgi-bin/search.pl?Query=ccLXPOP
| A client that goes between LXMTA, or LXPOP/LXNNTP and
| cc:Mail.
|
|
| *** cc:Mail, ccLXPOP
| * Connection via:
| No connection by itself, relies on LXMTA to transfer mail and news.
| * Services:
| Mail and news reader/writer, using the built-in cc:Mail client. ccLXPOP
| doesn't handle foreign character sets, but I modified it to do so (with
| a port of GNU libiconv). I still have to ask ccLXPOP's main author for
| permission to redistribute my modified version, it's on my ToDo list.
| On a SS HP200, I found cc:mail a little too slow for me. One advantage,
| though, is that you can switch tasks in the middle of a session.
| Note that the built-in cc:Mail has some limits in the size of emails
| (from memory, the maximum is around 60k).
|
|
| I have used CClxpop with lxeth and lxmta but I find it too crippled to
| use for modern email and its setup is a bit, how shall we say,
| circuitous. Brian had to jump through a number of hoops to make it work
| with email.
|
|
| ;ccLXPOP Configuration File
| ;The following are required entries:
|
| spooldir="c:\lxmta\spool\" ;same spooldir as LXMTA/LXPOP/LXNNTP
| ccpath="c:\_dat\mail\" ;Location of ccmail files
| from="Brian.McIlvaine@unbounded.com" ;From for outgoing messages/news
|
| ;The following are optional, but recommended:
|
| timezone="-0400" ;Offset from UT/GMT. Set to "0000" if not in config file
|
| ;The following are optional:
|
| ;sentfolder=2 ;Folder sent mail is put into. Default is 2, can be any
| ;Folder #
| ;outboxfolder=1 ;folder where ccMail looks for its mail
| ;appendhdr=1 ;if 1, add header info to end of message, else trash
| ;verbose=1 ;Provide a lot of detail regarding incoming messages
| ;if verbose=2, then only attached files are noted. This is
| ;useful to detect attached files as part of the threading process.
|
| cclxpop.sigfile=c:\_dat\mail\exsigfil.txt
| . ;This is a signature file which
| . ;will be appended to the body of each outgoing message. If
| . ;this parameter is missing, nothing is added.
|
|
|
| That is the extent of the cclxpop.cfg file.
| You will also need to set up the configuration files for LXMTA, or
| LXNNTP/LXPOP.
cc:Mail
| cc:Mail is the built-in Lotus email progam.
| But it only suports their propriatary system.
| ccLXPOP makes a working solution.
|
| ccMail requires a little preparation if you are not currently using ccMail
| with palmtop.com, for example.
|
| a. Start up ccMail. Select "File" and then "Mailbox Locations" and set the
| directory. This directory defaults to c:\_dat\mail. It does not have to be the
| same as the spooldir used in LXPOP/LXMTA, and I recommend that they be
| different so that it is easy to track sent files.
|
| a. Hit "Create" (F4), and make a short message. Address it to yourself. Fill
| in a subject and put something in the body. This message won't actually get
| sent, but it sets up the files in the directory needed for ccLXPOP to work.
|
| c. Press Send (F5), Make sure that the mail box is checked (Alt-M) and
| press "Yes" (F7).
|
| d. Select the outbox, highlight the message you just sent to the outbox, and
| press "Move" (F3). Press "New Folder" (Alt-N) and type in "Sent Mail" or
| whatever title you desire for the folder that will hold your sent mail.
| This will show up as the second folder in your folders list. You can access
| this folder and delete your email, if desired.
|
| The purpose of this section is to ensure that all the files that are needed
| for operation of ccLXPOP are created and in the condition needed, and the two
| minimum folders ccLXPOP expects (outbox and sentfolder) are created.
NTIMEhttp://hp200lx.net/cgi-bin/search.pl?Query=Ntime
| Connect to a time server and set your 200lx's clock right.
|
| .* NTIME to synchronize my LX's clock to an ntp server

KA9Q NOS
|
| *** KA9Q NOS (by Phil Karn)
| * Connection via:
| Serial line (modem or PC), or any packet driver (EPPPD, Ethernet, ...)
| * Services:
| FTP client/server, Telnet client/server, name resolution, SMTP server,
| NNTP server/client, POP3 client (or can easily be added, I did it when I
| still was a C novice), and probably a *lot* more services. The software
| is internally multithreaded, but unfortunately the 16bit version is no
| more supported (though still available I bet). A great product, albeit
| not for those who need GUIs or other interfaces...
| Source is available.

Goin' Postalhttp://hp200lx.net/cgi-bin/search.pl?Query=Goin%27%20Postal
| I highly recomend this one for email. It's free and *very*
| easy to set up. Works with multiple hosts and ISPs. Easy
| switching between to modem setups as well.
|
|
| *** Goin' Postal
| * Connection via: Wired Serial MochaPPP gateway or External "Supra" modem
| (With HP serial cable and NullModem addapter).
| * Services: POP Mail; Telnet to my Unix Shell at University using the
| Goin'Postal PacketDriver (I press ALT+S and it gives me a DOS prompt and
| I then run the Telnet Client); Telnet to my favourite MUD (mud.dcc.online.pt
| 2345) for some RPG fun.
|
| *** Goin' Postal - freeware
| * Connection via: POTS, GSM( cable, no IR), Ethernet, Hardwire serial PPP
| * Services: Multiple ISP's, multiple mailhosts: Mail+attachments,PGP,
| calling cards(prepaid and billing)
|
| Gather this information ahead of time (from your ISP):
|
| * the names of the servers for POP, SMTP, and NNTP
| * the IP numbers for the primary domain name server (DNS)
| (a second number is good, but not required)
| * your username and password (if they are different for connecting
| and for getting mail, you'll need both sets)
|
|
| Then, enter it where asked.
Any LXTCP util
| Press Alt-s to access dos prompt. Then go and run whatever
| program you want that uses the LXTCP/WATTCP system.
cc:Mail
| For a while www.palmtop.com provided a free test/$60 use
| cc:Mail service for users of the HP 200lx. It has dissapeared
| and is no longer in searvice. So, unless your comany uses
| *really* old software and has cc:Mail, useing this directly
| is not an option. You will se inother areas that people have
| gotten it to work other ways.
|
| used to be:
|
|
| *** cc:Mail
| * Connection via: www.palmtop.com
| * Services: email
| very easy to set up but it's $60, which I can't aford. Quite
| nice to not have to use up some of my C: space with a program. I use an
| external modem
|
WWW/LXhttp://www.dasoft.com/WWW/wv3.htm
| Very easy setup, from what i've heard, very powerfull. I
| don't know, I can't aford to pay $60 for the software. Can be
| used with everything from internal modem cards, to external
| modems, to IRDA modems in cellphones.
|
|
| *** WWW/LX Suite: WWW/LX, Post/LX, Robot/LX, Robonews/LX, PostPDU...
| * Connection via:
| Modem, Ethernet, IrDA (GSM, GPRS, HSCSD),
| PPP over serial line (MochaPPP, PPPD),
| * Services:
| email POP3/IMAP, WWW(limited), Newsgroups,
| SMS; highly enhanceable via Robot/LX,
| which can be used to implement many kinds of new protocols
|
|
| --------------------------------
|
| Using WWW/LX, a GPRS connection is no problem, even via IrDA
| without any cables. However, an USB connection is NOT possible
| with the LX. But I rather think that this USB cable for the
| phone you mention is an USB to serial converter, so it may be
| possible to simply connect that phone to the LX via a serial
| cable. Usually serial cables for phone <-> PC connections need
| some electronics in it to change the signal voltage, though, so
| an expensive phone-specific cable is still needed, even if not
| USB.
|
| ---------------------------------
|
| I use WWW/LX and I connect to the internet in many ways.
|
| In the morning I connect my Hplx to my ADSL router via a Accton En2216
| network card.
|
| I download mails and newsmessages before I go to work. During the day I
| can connect to the internet via my Sony Ericsson T68i with IRDA.
|
| It depends on how much stuff is on my emailaccount, but I can use
| either GPRS or HSCSD when I connect.
|
| I also have a Psion DACOM Gold Card V34 Fax/modem, I seldom use it, but
| it works okey, but I have to have the AC adapter connected.

| One program to rule them all. Or, that is the plan. This
| progam has the ability to do news, email, ftp, www, and telnet.
| Although in my experience, it doesn't do it very well. For
| setup you you need to know your ISP's phone number, the DNS
| number, your username and password, your email servers
| adresses, your email username and password, and modem
| information. But in all, it's quite easy to set up.
|
| ----------------------------------------
|
| Net-Tamer (N103-PT.ZIP)
|
| This suite, written by David Colston, is the most popular among
| Palmtop users. It provides the five internet functions mentioned
| earlier and works with PPP connections. Unlike DosLynx and
| MINUET, it does not require additional programs for setting up
| the connection, since it has built-in support for this. There
| is a special version available for the Palmtop, which has been
| optimized for the limited hardware.

|
| Setting up Net-Tamer on your HP Palmtop
|
| This Internet suite is the most popular with Palmtop users.
| It lets you access e-mail and other Internet services from
| your Palmtop using a PPP connection.
|
| Transfer the Net-Tamer files to your Palmtop and then run
| Net-Tamer's READER.EXE to set up the program. The first
| menu lets you set up your modem. When you're finished
| setting up the modem go to the next menu and fill out
| items A through I. Please note that when you enter the
| phone number(s) of your ISP, you will also be prompted for
| the file name of your login script. Depending on how your
| service provider is set up, you may be able to use one of
| the scripts supplied by Net-Tamer (see sample below). If
| not, the document NETTAMER .DOC has more information on
| writing login scripts.
|
| Sample ISP script for connecting to CompuServe:
|
| BLAST <13>
|
| WAIT Name:-OR-#500
|
| DELAY 20
|
| BLAST CIS<13>
|
| WAIT ID:-OR-#300
|

Main Computer
| These are programs that run under Windows(tm).
MochaPPPhttp://hp200lx.net/cgi-bin/search.pl?Query=MochaPPP
| Windows server: MochaPPP:
| First download MochaPPP from http://www.mochasoft.dk/download.html
| (look for the "Mocha W32 PPP" in the "Palm and Visor" section)
| and install it on your Windows machine.
| Then run the program MPPP.EXE. Set speed to 38400
| (once this works you can go higher and explore the limits,
| make sure you have always set the client machine to the same speed!)
| Tell MochaPPP what device you use
| (if you use the HP 200LX palmtop, tell MochaPPP it was a WinCE device)
| Windows assigns a virtual COM port to an IrDA interface, you should probably simply shoose this virtual COM port as the port to be used by MochaPPP.
|
| Then connect your already configured client device to the PC.
| Use a nullmodem cable, not a straight-through serial cable!
| Unfortunately, Windows 2000 and Windows XP use another driver concept as the older Windows versions,
| so there is no "virtual COM port" assigned to an IrDA device anymore.
| There are third party drivers to solve this problem:
| A free open-source solution: http://www.ircomm2k.de
| The commercial IrComm2000 driver: http://www.extendedsystems.com

|
| * define new "Locale" (f.e. Mocha PPP)
| * Into "Primary Phone" enter "WIRE" (without "" !)
| * Fields "Login name" and "Pathword" cannot be empty, enter something.
| * "Primary DNS" and "Secondary DNS" would be 0.0.0.0
| * Enter desired "SMTP server"
|
| * Set modem with speed 19200, if you have such modem already defined, use it.
| Other settings of modem are not important for Mocha PPP.
|
| * Set Mocha PPP as "Windows CE", appropriate port and speed 19200
|
WWW/LXhttp://www.dasoft.com/WWW/wv3.htm
| Client configuration:
| In general you can use any software on the client machine which is able
| to talk the PPP protocol over the serial port or the IrDA port.
| Here I will describe the process of setting up the WWW/LX software on the
| HP 200LX palmtop, but this should also show how to set up every other piece
| of software.
|
| Here are the relevant parts from my WWW/LX config file www.cfg:
|
|
| [Setup]
| ...
| PPPD_linux_IR=pppd on linux Omnibook IrDA
|
| [pppd_script]
| s=\r
| @=3
|
| [PPPD_linux_IR]
| Port=-1
| OmniGo=0
| PPP=1
| Modem=0
| Baud=38400
| My_IP=0.0.0.0
| DNS_IP=0.0.0.0
| DNS2_IP=0.0.0.0
| Script=pppd_script
| ModemInit=
| Dial=
| Login=
| Password=
|
|
| Explanation:
| The Setup entry is WWW/LX specific and only adds a short description to the setup name.
| [pppd_script] is the script WWW/LX uses when connecting over the serial line.
|
|
| It is a very simple script which does the following:
| s=\r -- send a carriage return (= press the Enter key)
| @=3 -- pauses for 3 seconds before PPP connection begins.
|
|
| The remaining lines are the settings WWW/LX uses for the connection:
|
| Port=-1: Use port COM1 and set it to IrDA mode. Attention: On the HP 200LX this is only possible with WWW/LX,
| not with other software, because the IrDA protocol is totally implemented in software, there is no generic IrDA
| support by that device! Use Port=1 for a wired serial port connection (i.e. on the Server side /dev/ttySx or COMx).
|
| PPP=1: Use the PPP protocol
|
| Modem=0: Use a direct serial line
|
| Baud=38400: Must match the speed setting on the Server side!
|
| MY_IP, DNS_IP, DNS2_IP=0.0.0.0 tells WWW/LX to determine the correct values during the login process.
| You can also give it statically here if you have troubles with the dynamical setup.
| The dynamical setup has the advantage that you have to change it only on the server side if something changes.
|
| Script=pppd_script: The script to use for the login process
|
| ModemInit=, Dial=, Login=, Password=: Since no authentication and no modem is used,
| these parameters do not need any value.
|
| Attention WWW/LX users who use setcom.bat in conjunction with
| modem.com to let the palmtop determine automatically the necessary WWW/LX settings:
| Since a wired connection to a Linux PC running pppd (and eventually even MochaPPP on Windows machines)
| causes modem.com to think there is a modem and let setcom.bat then execute wwwset.exe with your modem settings,
| make sure these settings do not interfere with your remaining setup for this kind of connection!

|
| MBX2GDB
|
| example:
| MBX2GDB in.mbx
|
| This will create a file in.gdb in the same folder. It can be
| run on the computer or the palmtop. HTML or RTF emails will
| still have their tags in them, making it hard to read
| sometimes.
|
| Only one way, from the computer to the 200lx, can't send

|
| 3. Launch datacom on the palmtop (press Ctrl+cc:Mail / Ctrl+Quicken) and set
| the baud rate to 19200, no parity, 8 stop bits.
|
| 5. Install Eudora (availible from www.eudora.com) in c:\eudora on the desktop
| computer.
|
| 6. Run Eudora, and go to the settings window. Under the "Checking Mail"
| section, ensure that "Send on check" is unchecked, and "check for mail every ..
| minutes" is 0. Under the Sending Mail section, ensure that "Immediate send" is
| unchecked.
|
| 6. Create a directory on the desktop called c:\temp (if one doesn't already
| exist)
|
| You are now ready to go!
kermit
| Palm link works through this, but it doesn't need any extra
| setup.
DataComm
| Launch datacom on the palmtop and put it into kermit server mode (press
| {menu}ck{enter}.
Note Taker
| This is for writing mail. Just open c:\_dat\out.ndb in notetaker and write

Yarn
|
| *** Yarn
| * Connection via:
| No connection by itself, relies on anything able to transfer ZIP files,
| and a SOUP packets aware program on the other end.
| I personnaly use SCPDOS from the SSHDOS project.
| * Services:
| Mail and news reader, DOS based, uses your favorite text editor, can be
| combined with add-ons (such as YES) to enhance it (signature selection
| based on rules). You need a SOUP packet reader/creator on a bigger
| machine. I personnaly use uqwk on my Linux server, with a set of scripts
| to automate the work. Fast enough for me, but since it's a DOS program,
| you can't switch easily to do something else.
| I probably found it on www.filelibrary.com web site, though I'm not
| sure.
|
| -quote-
| Right now I'm using Yarn on the HPLX to read my mail and news,
| and a SOUP packets processor on my home machine, the one I connect to
| when I'm on vacation. SSHDOS is used for the transport, I only transfer
| ZIP files, with about 75% compression ratio (this is good for my bill).

UKA_PPPhttp://mvmpc200.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de/~mvmpc9/public/uka_ ppp/welcome.htm
| I see that one solution, UKA_PPP, is missing on both lists. I've been
| using it for a while (albeit only for news and mail), before I converted
| my 100 LX into a UUCP site using UUPC/extended.
|
| UKA_PPP can be found on

| The Website is a bit chaotic (in my opinion), but the setup of UKA_PPP
| is rather easy, especially for german users, and it claims to integrate
| textual WWW browsers (though I haven't tested that).

Qua!-lxftp://eddie.mit.edu/pub/hp95lx/NEW/qualx13.zip
| UQWK and Qua!-LX (QUALX13.ZIP)
|
| The Palmtop's built-in cc:Mail has little practical value for most Palmtop
| users since it requires a dial-up cc:Mail post office. However, H. Shrikumar
| of the University of Massachusetts has written a program called Qua!-LX that
| lets you make use of the cc:Mail program on the Palmtop to access the Unix
| Mail system. It requires that you are able to run a program called UQWK on
| the host system and that you have a shell account. Either the user or the
| independent service provider must install it on the host system. Then the
| user can access it.
|
| The way it works is that you use UQWK on the host Unix system to format the
| mail messages for your Palmtop. Then you use Kermit, Zmodem or another
| terminal emulator to download them to your Palmtop. Finally, you run Qua!-LX,
| which in turn will convert the UQWK files into a format that can be used by
| the cc:Mail program. Qua!-LX will also convert cc:Mail messages into UQWK
| format for uploading to the Unix host.
|
| Qua-LX! is a freeware program that can be found in the following location:
|
| Internet:
|
|
| ftp://eddie.mit.edu/pub/hp95lx/NEW/qualx13.zip
|
|
| Qua!-LX
|
| (See UQWK and Qua!-LX above) -- This program can also be used to read News
| offline, but because cc:Mail slows down when you have many messages in the
| inbox, I do not recommend using Qua!-LX for this purpose.

|
| Many Palmtop users are familiar with CompuServe, the home of the HPHAND Forum
| which supports the HP Palmtops. CompuServe is a commercial network which also
| offers a gateway to Internet, allowing CompuServe subscribers some access to
| Internet's resources.
|
| CompuServe is a world-wide network and can be accessed through local phone
| numbers in a large number of cities around the world. It is thus ideal for
| very mobile Palmtop users.
|
| Once connected to CompuServe the subscriber will either use a VT emulator or
| CompuServe's proprietary Host-Micro Interface (HMI) which is supported on
| different platforms including DOS systems, such as the Palmtop.
|
| CompuServe also offers true Internet connectivity using PPP.
DataComm
| At least the 200lx has a built-in DataComm setup for Compuserve
Commohttp://hp200lx.net/cgi-bin/search.pl?Query=Commo
| All {COMMO} documentation is available in Online Help. Start {COMMO} with
| "commo /h" for help on Getting Started. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to
| scroll through the information.
|
| In Online Help press "C" to view the Contents. Use PgUp, PgDn and the arrow
| keys to select a topic. Then press Enter to view the topic. Press F1 at any
| time for help on using Online Help.
|
| Start {COMMO} with "commo /g" to edit the Setup File (setup mode).
|
| Start {COMMO} with "commo /b" for temporary Speech Friendly Interface. Use
| "commo /h/b" for Speech Friendly help mode or "commo /g/b" for Speech Friendly
| setup mode. (The Speech Friendly Interface is for visually impaired users.)
AcCIS
| I don't have a link to this. I thing the only way to get it
| is to get the disks.
|
| acCIS -- The most popular application for accessing CompuServe with the
| Palmtop is a commercial program called acCIS. acCIS is System Manager
| compliant and while it is designed for accessing CompuServe internal mail and
| discussion forums the gateway allows CompuServe subscribers to write and
| receive Internet mail. acCIS is written by Thomas Rundel and Ernst Abresch.
INETDOSftp://eddie.mit.com/pub/hp95x/NEW/inetdos.exe
| INETDOS (INETDOS.EXE)
|
| This package lets you use CompuServe as Internet Service Provider. It
| contains MINUET, and the required helper applications EtherPPP and MYIP
| for setting up the PPP connection. All the needed configuration settings
| have been made except for Username, Password, and the telephone number.
| With some small modifications, it is also useful for subscribers to other

|
| myip.exe
|
| minuet.exe/lcdmono

| The first line above initializes the "MYIP environment variable."
|
| The second line runs the program PPP with the following switches:

| /c 1 = tells PPP to use COM1: for communication.
|
| /s 115200 = sets the speed to 115200 baud.
|
| /d script = tells PPP to run the script found in the file DIAL.PPP see below).
|
| After the connection has been set up, the third line runs MYIP.EXE, which
| determines the dynamic IP address assigned to the Palmtop by the service
| provider and writes the address to the MYIP environment variable.
|
| The fourth line runs MINUET.EXE, which uses the IP address in MYIP. The
| switch /lcdmono will run MINUET in the best possible color combination for
| the Palmtop.
|
| The fifth line runs the TERMIN program, which closes down the PPP connection.
|
| The sixth and last line deletes the cache in the subdirectory MINCACHE.
|
| DIALING SCRIPT
|
| The second line in DIAL.BAT above ran PPP and, among other things, accessed
| a "dialing script." Using CompuServe as the Internet service provider, the
| dialing script DIAL.PPP might look like this:
|
| send "at\r"
|
| recv 3000 "OK\r\n"
|
| send "atdt\r"
|
| recv 30000
|
| send "\03"
|
| recv 30000 "ser ID:"
|
| send "/GO CIS:PPPCONNECT\r"
|
| recv 2000 "ord:"
|
| send "\r"
|
| recv 10000 "PPP Connection"
|
| send +++

| Once Minuet is launched, select the Setup pulldown menu to setup:
| User Information.
| Server Names.
| The Name Server IP address in the Network Screen.
|
|
| Unless your Internet service provider tells you to, DON'T change the Server
| Port numbers! (For CompuServe subscribers using the version of Minuet that
| comes with the INETDOS package, only the User Information needs to be changed.)

| DosLynx (DOSLYNX.ZIP)
|
| .This DOS-based Web browser was written by Garrett Arch Blythe for the
| University of Kansas and designed to provide support for as many DOS users
| as possible. Its modest system requirements allows for its usage on the
| HP Palmtop.
|
| DosLynx allows access to the following type of Uniform Resource Locators,
| including: file, ftp, gopher, http, news and wais. To use DosLynx on the
| Palmtop you need a SLIP or PPP connection. For PPP connections, DosLynx
| only works with EtherPPP.

| ----------
|
| DosLynx
|
| DosLynx also uses EtherPPP and MYIP to make a PPP connection
| (see Minuet above). Note, however, that in order for DosLynx to
| automatically use a dynamically assigned IP address, MYIP will
| have to be version 2.0 or higher, since this version introduced
| an enhancement for use with DosLynx.
|
| As with Minuet the connection is set up by running a DOS batch
| file DIAL.BAT, similar to this:
|
| ppp /c 1 /s 115200 /d script
|
| myip.exe/d
|
| mode bw80
|
| doslynx
|
| termin 0x60
|
| The first line above runs the program PPP with the following switches:
|
| /c 1 tells PPP to use COM1: for communication.
|
| /s 115200 sets the speed to 115200 baud.
|
| /d script tells PPP to run the script found in the file DIAL.PPP (see below).
|
| After the connection has been set up using PPP, the second line runs
| MYIP.EXE to determine which dynamic IP address the Palmtop has been assigned
| by the ISP. MYIP.EXE is run with the switch /D so that it will write this
| address to a configuration file named MY_IP.CFG.
|
| The third line issues the MODE BW80 command, which runs DOSLYNX in the best
| possible color combination for the Palmtop.
|
| The fourth line runs DOSLYNX.
|
| The fifth line runs the TERMIN program, which closes down the PPP connection.
|
| Using CompuServe as ISP the dialing script DIAL.PPP might look like this:
|
| send "at\r"
|
| recv 3000 "OK\r\n"
|
| send "atdt\r"
|
| recv 30000
|
| send "\03"
|
| recv 30000 "ser ID:"
|
| send "/GO CIS:PPPCONNECT\r"
|
| recv 2000 "ord:"
|
| send "\r"
|
| recv 10000 "PPP Connection"
|
| send +++
|
| Be sure to replace , , and above with
| your information.
|
| Before DosLynx is run, the configuration file DOSLYNX.CFG must be edited.
| Replace the nameserver and nntphost fields with the information obtained
| from your Internet service provider. In addition, the my_ip field in DOSLYNX.
| CFG must be commented out and the include field set to MY_IP.CFG, which is
| the file that has the IP address obtained from the MYIP.EXE program.
