I'm wanting to try POPFile <http://popfile.sourceforge.net/> so I can
get decent spam filtering with MacSOUP. Unfortunately I haven't a clue
how to get the Perl modules I need up and running or how to get POPFile
setup. The help files are all in high level geek so I'm left out in ...

A couple of weeks ago I installed a Linksys wireless router so that two
Macs could concurrently access the internet via a shared cable modem.
Subsequent to this installation I am no longer able to post to the net
via Hogwasher, but I am able to post via Unison. Both Hogwasher and ...

  I'm trying to set up file sharing between two Macs via Airport.  I
  have no base station, but on the iMac I created an Airport network,
  and connected my Powerbook to the network (at least, the Airport
  icon on both show as connected, and both show the same network

I've been using thoth forever, but I realize that thoth may die soon
(if not with tiger, then probably with the next major OS upgrade).
There are a few things that thoth does that I like, and I am wondering
if it's possible to do these things in unison...(I have just been

I've just now installed Unison and am giving it a try. What I haven't
been able to figure out is how to form what I'll dub a "newgroup
cluster" where the postings from several newsgroups are treated as
though they are coming from one. This allows one to peruse a number of

I have an airport base and an express in the house. The express is setup as
the remote base station in the WDS network.
Question - in the express' config, should it be "create a home network (home
router)" or "join an existing wireless network (wireless client)"?

I told support that I consistently connect at a the same speed as my
other ISP, but downloads take twice as long.  In bold capitals, support
replies it must be the phone company's fault and there's nothing they
can do about it.

I'm wanting to setup a BBS on one of my Macs for something interesting to
do.   I don't want to run a GUI based BBS like First Class, TeleFinder, or
HiBBS.   I find Hermes to be too limited in the areas of customization.
I was looking at using either the old Pancake BBS software or ...

I would be greatly obliged of you could point me towards a list of
good newsreaders for binary newsgroups for an apple mac system.
Thanks a lot

(This all started because our little D-Link home router will only send
its logs via e-mail to an SMTP server, and because our current ISP's
SMTP requires authentication which the router can't provide, I was
thinking of setting up local SMTP service on an iMac just to get the

I just gotta find a book devoted to describing how to setup a
Mac-Extreme for all the possible uses it can be put to.
Tried to decipher one of those foot-thick  off-the-shelf books about
networking in general, but they are meant to be used by Unix and

I'm got a Linksys BEFW11Sv4 4-port wireless router and a Mac laptop (running
OS X 10.3.8) connected to it via its airport card. When I access the router
(via its built-in HTTP interface) and look at the DHCP client table, it
reports the right MAC address for my laptop but in the ...

My connection software (Free PPP) has suddenly started giving me these
"can't detect a dialtone" messages most of the time when I try to log on.
My ISP is a locally-owned phone co-op and I wrote to the guy in charge of
the Internet department and he suggested that the modem might be ...

Will Apple Remote Desktop work over a WAN? It works perfectly over a
local network but I can't seem to get it to work over a WAN. Before I
waste any more time I would like to know if it is possible.

fix it to add headers by default, for instance x-no-archive:yes
Is there a way to do this like with mutt in linux?
