Mostly Mac related sites part 1 //////////////////////////////// Mac Primo site this Web site contains pointers to all sorts of Macintosh related items. http://rever.nmsu.edu/~elharo/faq/Macintosh.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turbo-Gopher and other Mac Internet utilities ftp://boombox.micro.umn.edu/pub/gopher/Macintosh-TurboGopher also look in --> boombox.micro.umn.edu/pub/helper-applications The "mother" of all gophers from the Univ of Minnesota.There is a whole host of important internet tools, like POP Mail, Sparkle and Telnet applications plus lots more. A must visit for any Mac user. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The basic software necessary for a Mac to "talk" TCP/IP, Apple's MacTCP control panel, is included with version 7.5 of MacOS. It's also bundled with various commercial software packages and included on the disks that come with some Mac Internet guide books (such as Adam Engst's excellent "The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh", and Adam Engst's intermediate level book, "The Internet Explorer for Macintosh", published by Hayden Books - ISBN# 1-56830-064-6). There are free implementations of PPP (Merit's MacPPP) and SLIP (Intercon's InterSLIP) available on the net via FTP: ftp://ftp.ucs.ubc.ca/pub/mac/info-mac/comm/tcp/mac-ppp-201.hqx ftp://ftp.ucs.ubc.ca/pub/mac/info-mac/comm/tcp/inter-slip-installer-101.hqx ftp to: ftp.intercon.com /InterCon/sales/Mac/Demo_Software For PPP ftp to: merit.edu /pub/ppp/mac Basically, a Mac needs MacTCP, a control panel developed to allow Macintoshes access to TCP/IP networks. SLIP or PPP implementations work with MacTCP pretty much transparently, usually as another control panel. Typical senario: Configure your SLIP/PPP connection with your connection number/modem type/passwords, make sure MacTCP is in there (2.0.6 is recommended), and then connect to the server! That's all there is to it; the config and connect procedure is a little different with teach SLIP/PPP program. MacTCP isn't free, but it's bundled with System 7.5 or available as an independent product from an Apple dealer. The upgrade patch to 2.0.6 (you'll probably get 2.0.4 with System 7.5 or a dealer) is available on all major online services, and on www.info.apple.com. It's important to note that you can only upgrade VIRGIN copies of MacTCP to 2.0.6 (one that hasn't been used at all), but don't worry: detailed instructions come with the patch. And in case you can't get it immediately, don't fret version 2.0.6 offers no new features, but instead is a little more robust in its resolving capability, and handles some low memory situations better. submitted by: Jonathan Sir Hendrey Austin Apple Assistance Center Technical Support Specialist --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freeware and shareware utilities of SLIP/PPP connected users.

A software utility that monitors how MacTCP is working, passing packets, test your domain name server, ping other machines on the 'net and more. MacTCP Watcher - Get it. Anarchie is also by Peter Lewis and is (perhaps) the BEST hybrid tool out there. It combines both the functions of ftp and archie search tools. Simply type the name of the program you want and Anarchie automatically logs in to an Archie server, finds the software and then downloads it for you! This is a MUST HAVE for any SLIP/PPP connected user. Incredible! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maven FTP to: k12.cnidr.org /pub/Mac Maven is an audio-conferencing tool (that's right - send your voice over the Internet to others). Even though it's a bandwidth hog you just may be able to pass through the packets with a 14.4 (maybe) and can start actually being useful at 28.8K speeds or higher. A neat tool that may work for you. Newer versions are now able to be used with success over 14.4K connections. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- RealAudio http://www.RealAudio.comm RealAudio Player download (alternative site) http://www.prognet.com/signup.html Audio encoding software that is now available for the Mac.

Check it out! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lentz's Macintosh Internet Resources http://www.astro.nwu.edu/lentz/mac/home-mac.html A little known but well stocked site that has almost everthing an Internet Mac user could need or want. A treasure trove of software awaits the Macintosh traveller. Go here instead of those overworked sumex-aim type ftp sites. You'll be glad you came! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don Crabb's Home Page http://cs-www.uchicago.edu/~decc/ The Macmeister's personal home page. Don is one of the most well-versed persons on the Mac platform and has a regular column in MacWeek and also is a major contributor to the the knowledge base of all things "Macintosh" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Macintosh Searchable Shareware Catalog http://web.nexor.co.uk/public/mac/archive/doc/search.html A complete and searchable listing of scads of Mac shareware and freeware. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Macintosh Software Utility Site (shareware/freeware) http://pubweb.nexor.co.uk/public/mac/archive/welcome.html That is a well run archive that has most of the latest shareware and freeware utilities for the Macintosh. Use the searchable database at Nexor (listed in the previous site directly above this one) to search the software database to see what is available at this site. This a URL worth keeping and (in some ways) rivals and sometimes surpasses sumex-aim sites. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TidBits page (by Adam Engst and Tonya Engst) http://www.dartmouth.edu/pages/TidBits/TidBits.html http://www.tidbits.com/tidbits/index.html This is MUST reading for any Mac user. **** A Must Visit **** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Tools for Exploration gopher to: gopher.oise.on.ca checkout the "Tools for Internet Exploration" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Software/Tools Here is a great place for anyone to start in their hunt for great utilities you can use to cruise the Web ... and just about any other TCP/IP goodie. ftp.demon.co.uk/pub --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information on Macintosh and Mac ftp sites http://www.realtime.net/~jones/info-mac-sites.html http://www.realtime.net/~jones/mac-ftp-sites.html http://www.realtime.net/~jones/umich-sites.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet apps/info site ftp://ftp.tidbits.com/pub/tidbits/ http://www.tidbits.com/tidbits/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac Hotspots for free Mac Internet software FTP to: boombox.micro.umn.edu (freeware TurboGopher here!) FTP to: ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (lots of stuff in here including NCSA Telnet and NCSA Mosaic) FTP to: ftp.tidbits.com in the --> /pub/tidbits/tisk in the --> /pub/eudora FTP to: mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu in the --> /pub/info-mac/ FTP to: wuarchive.wustl.edu in the --> /systems/mac/umich.edu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Netscape ftp://gcomm.com/library/www/ http://home.mcom.com/home/welcome.html http://www.charm.net/~lejeune/get-net.html This is absolutely the BEST WWW browser for Macintosh! Get it! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silicon Graphics VRML Web Browser http://www.sgi.com/Products/WebFORCE/WebSpace/ Silicon Graphics has announced that it is coming out with its own VRML browser (that is, Virtual Reality Markup Language, the supposed next step from the standard HyperText Markup Language used on the Web today). A Mac-savvy version is expected out this summer (1995) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIA info-docs (written by TIA's Steve Wilmart and Dave Menges) ftp or gopher to: marketplace.com in the --> /tia/docs directory The files are tia.companion.mac.setup and tia.companion.win.setup TIA (The Internet Adapter) lets dial-up users connect as if they were using a full-fledged SLIP/PPP account! Lets you use graphical software on the net previously only for true SLIP/PPP connections. The DOS/Windows counterpart to TIA is called "SLIP Knot" and also lets users run SLIP/PPP GUI software from their machines over a dial-up connection. Unfortunately, many service providers have banned the use of TIA and SLIP Knot. Check to see if your dial-up service provider allows the use of TIA before you begin the process of installing and configuring TIA software. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SLIrP Home Page http://www.wit.com/~danjo/ http://blitzen.canberra.edu.au/~danjo SLIrP is a free SLIP emulator for Mac users (located on the users Unix dial-up server). SLIrP allows a normal dial-up Unix shell user to act as if connected with a SLIP account. This allows the user to use graphical SLIP software such as Eudora for email, Fetch for FTP, TurboGopher as a gopher client and graphical web browsers such as Mosaic, Netscape and MacWeb. It operates on the same premise as TIA but seems to be need less overhead, (ie. the connection overhead is less so you run faster) and SLIrP seems to be much easier to configure. A great alternative to TIA. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tidbits (Macintosh) FTP to: ftp.tidbits.com Adam Engst's bric-a-brac site with net utilities for Macintosh. Excellent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VA-Newswatcher (Value-Added NewsWatcher) ftp://grocne.enc.org/pub/V.A.NewsWatcher/ This is like the original NewsWatcher on steroids! Wow! This is my favorite newsreader for Macintosh. Too many features to list here. NewsWatcher (Original NewsWatcher by J. Norstrad) ftp://ftp.acns.nwu.edu/pub/newswatcher/ These are the some of the BEST newsreaders for Mac users connected with either SLIP/PPP. My personal preference is VA-NewsWatcher. Tres cool! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- QuickTime v2.0 site FTP to: Radius.com /pub/Radius/software/mac/videovision QuickTime v2.0 is not easy to find. It's not on any *official* Apple site but here is a round-a-bout but legitimate way to obtain v2.0. Go to the above Radius ftp site and go through the directory path listed above and then download (get) the file named "vvision 2.0 Images.sea.hqx" This is a fairly LARGE download that after decompression contains a lot of folders and such but if you go through all the folders you will come up with the included QuickTime 2.0 extension. Where there's a will... there's a way. Note: the files are in disk-image format so you must use a DiskImage utility such as Apple's own DiskCopy or a better alternative is ShrinkWrap which is a wonderful shareware offering found on all sumex-aim sites. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Info-Mac on the Web http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive.html The fantastic Stanford sumex-aim info-mac ftp site is now available through this World-Wide Web mirror site of info-mac brought to you by MIT. A neat way to access this huge and complete Mac software and info archive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- FTP favorite Mac spots (anonymous ftp) ftp to: oak.oakland.edu huge archive called SIMTEL20 is located here that has software for every Operating System - from MS DOS to Macintosh to Windows to Amiga to Unix and then some! Well worth the trip. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ftp to: wuarchive.wustl.edu Washington University in St. Louis has not only the SIMTEL20 archive but a whole host of other software in every different platform flavor known. This is also a mirror of the [mac.archive.umich.edu] Univ of Mich ftp site --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ftp to: mac.archive.umich.edu Popular Univ. of Michigan archive is perhaps the premier Macintosh site and includes all sorts of Macintosh software. This site is supported by Apple Inc. so you know it's got to be good. If busy - try a mirror site. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ftp to: sumex-aim.stanford.edu The "grand-daddy" of Mac sites. One of the best Mac ftp sites on the planet. Unfortunately getting on to it is nearly impossible since the traffic here is so darn high. Every Mac user on the planet wants to go here so try out one of its mirror sites. You can get the current mirror site list in the /help directory. Please see the sumex-aim mirrors info at the end of this section. It is *strongly* advised that you use a mirror site rather than attempting to connect to this "home" site. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ftp to: src.doc.ic.ac.uk A less travelled and accessible mirror of the sumex-aim ftp site. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ftp to: hyperreal.com Hint: check out the /tools directory and subdirectories for interesting and hard-to-find software. Contains software for many platforms. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ftp://ftp.hawaii.edu:/mirrors/info-mac Another very good mirror site to sumex-aim. More accessible than sumex-aim --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arts & Farces (Michael Fraase) ftp to: ftp.farces.com A great and seldom used site - has a good collection of Mac internet tools Maintained by the author of "The Mac Internet Tour Guide" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ftp to: ftp.uu.net One of the best archive sites for freeware and shareware. A helpful Usenet archive is maintained here as well as general information documents on Usenet. Other items include a fairly large database of graphic files. =========================================================================== Public Mirror Sites of sumex-aim Mac archives (Stanford Univ, CA, US) Australia Deakin University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia ftp://archie.au/micros/mac/info-mac/ Austria Vienna University, Vienna, Austria ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/mac/info-mac/ http://www.univie.ac.at/ftp/systems/mac/info-mac/ gopher://gopher.univie.ac.at/11/ftp/systems/mac/info-mac/ mailto:ftpmail@ftp.univie.ac.at -
