Have attached a new training module that I have developed for work. It's contains the lowdown on a number of aspects of the Internet that can be a bit difficult to grasp. It is not meant for experts, but is a continuation of the first Module. It's easy to follow, and installation instructions are included. It's not a stack, or an application, just a formatted series of Claris HomePage HTML doc's that do a bit of explaining. Like the first one, it's free, so have fun. (remember to eMail me when you download it) InterMod 1r3 has now been translated into more than 10 languages by enthusiasts around the world, and is available on sites everywhere. It has also been included on MacAddict. Phil S Brisbane AUSTRALIA http://www2.eis.net.au/~statham #### TEXT listserv-eudora-faq-2.txt **** From: abrody@access.digex.net (Don't Panic!)

All of the strings are meant for use with a Macintosh computer. Version 2.0 now allows you to test an INITialization string with the modem currently connected to your Macintosh computer. This requires the use of the Apple Serial Tool which is part of the Apple Communications ToolBox (CTB). The installer will place a copy of the Serial Tool in your Extensions Folder requiring you to restart your machine after the installation process is complete. Mac INIT Strings was built with Mac OS 8 and is therefore, Mac OS 8-compatible. You will need at least System 7.1 and 4 MB of physical (installed) memory in order to use Mac INIT Strings. Since Mac INIT Strings is freeware, you agree to use the utility at your own risk by reading this document. MRD offers no technical support for this utility by e-mail, facsimile nor telephone. If you do however, have comments on Mac INIT Strings, please feel free to e-mail MRD at support@mrdataworks.com. * If you find an INITialization string that does not work correctly, please send an e-mail to support@mrdataworks.com. * If you know of an INITialization string that is missing from the Mac INIT Strings database, please send an e-mail to support@mrdataworks.com. Thanks and most of all - have fun. That's what the Mac's all about. Long live Apple!
