Active Server Pages Gives you Microspeak for two false ideas: "Active" something important is happening and "Server" whatever is happening, it's supposed to be for your benefit. As Ian said, MS version of those server scripting languages like Lotus NSF = notes server file, JSP = Java Server Page I don't know Perl, but I did hear her mother was a beauty!

I am using IBMWBV2 almost exclusively these days - love the tabbed pages loading in the background. I was attempting during this past night to get enrolled for online phone bills with Telstra dot com, now that I have ISDN-quality line, and whilst I was there, having their system tell me that my Telstra account (which bill I later paid over the phone on 1300 369 666, as I have done for years, ever since they introduced the facility) number entered is not a valid account number! I used the feedback page to advise the webmaster that the page that says "Contact us by e-mail" is a misnomer - it's a Javascript form with 3"*1" text entry area to submit - I told him I was expecting something like a link to "billing-support at telstra dot com" so that I could send an actual e-mail with attachments of 2 [cropped] mini-GIFs, one from the details entry page, and the other from the error-screen to prove conclusively that the values entered were correct, as I have had the same account number for a number of years at least since the last time they reorganised their billing. Whilst looking around the site, I happened to go look at the Status report of current connection problems - knowing that Saturday a.m. in the US, the Bank of America had umpteen thousands of ATM's [now running Microshaft] go "off the air" for up to 2 hours, with customers being seriously inconvenienced! Those Telstra pages are *.asp - had no problems there with IBMWBV2. But earlier when I first attempted to get enrolled as above at http://telstra dot com dot au/info/oss/ , whilst using IBMWBV2, and clicking on submit my details, my swapper instantly jumped to 40MB from the 2MB initial allocation [always!] untouched - in the normal course of events as I have 200+ MB Free RAM out of 384MB installed, with the Browser and other apps running and I knew I had a runaway situation. Aborted the Vrowser - went back to the site with NS 4.61 - apart from unable to get the account number validated and get a temporary PIN, until I could set up the password etc, the site behaved normally. So there is definitely a problem. Note also that if viewing page source with IBMWBV2 - one is able to [CTRL]-A select all the source html/Javascript. Attempting to do this with NS 4.61 instantly says "data in cache has expired" [one I looked at had expiry date of Jan 1st 2000], doing an immediate reload of the page produces the same result - it won't let you see the source, apart from maybe a couple of header lines.

Microsoft like to say that ASP is light years ahead of all of them but .... its Microsoft, what more can I say ;-) Cheers Ian B Manners http://www.os2site dot com/ Every difficulty slurred over will be a ghost to disturb your repose later on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 8 ==========================** Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 17:57:06 +1100 From: "Voytek Eymont" Subject: Re: [os2genau] Help! - TCP/IP config problem On Sat, 25 Jan 2003 15:55:34 +1100 (EDT), Ian Manners wrote: >Failing that, I would buy a cheap NetGear ISDN Router. >or I have a spare CISCO 1600R router here, like new with all manuals >etc. You can have it for $1,000.00 :-) or an Ascend Pipeline 75 for $500..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 9 ==========================** Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 17:53:12 +1000 From: "Mike O'Connor" Subject: Re: [os2genau] Help! - TCP/IP config problem Voytek Eymont wrote: >On Sat, 25 Jan 2003 15:55:34 +1100 (EDT), Ian Manners wrote: > >>Failing that, I would buy a cheap NetGear ISDN Router. >>or I have a spare CISCO 1600R router here, like new with all manuals >>etc. You can have it for $1,000.00 :-) >> >> > >or an Ascend Pipeline 75 for $500..... > > > Hi Voytek, Ever hopeful! You're less so than Ian's offer, but still out of my bracket - I managed to get by with the old crappy PSTN-line, even analogue over ISDN is a dream by comparison and as I have the NT1 Plus II included in the $99 connection fee, I'm laughing now. regards, Soon be doing DoD, probably when I finish answering all the messages I have piled up on the groups.
