i've got another stumper for y'all...

i call into my office which has a Shiva Netmodem 2400.  It ain't too
useful for transferring files (both Carbon Copy and Public Folder
crashed becaues of "timeouts"--only Tops could handle it)...it uses
some scheme to translate 2400 baud input to 19.2 (or however fast
appletalk goes) so that i am, in effect, on the network.

i can see the laser printers, see tops volumes, etc etc...it's just
too darned slow for anything very useful..

ONE useful thing i see it used for though, is to check my stinkin'
quickmail.  But i've installed it on my system, it looks like all the
files are there, i call in, login to the network, can see printers,
but when i try to get into quickmail, the name button gives me a big
dialogue box of empty.

nada.

nothing is there.

the mailcenter on in the zone is found quite fine.  But the names (the
white pages?) can't.

any ideas?

			thanx much...Darryl...

also...any ideas why i wouldn't be able to change my password on the
particular set up on my computer in the office, yet on another
person's computer i would?  is this a "privelege" that the postmaster
can give and take away at her whim?  (yikes!)

thanx.....
