Another Poll, but a worthwhile one. (Honest!) |

Quite simply, does anyone think that a simple dial up tool (Like Windoze DialUpNetworking) should be implemented in a future release of RiscOS? Obviously I do.
If a lot of people agree, is it worth me writing to RiscOS Ltd? (It's no good us bitching about it if they don't know!) |

Oh yes, yes I do. Socketeer is good but has it's flaws, a built-in dial-up program would be a very good idea. |

Yes!! but if RISC OS Ltd make a VDM (Virtual Device Manager) then it will work without problem with all modem types (i want remember that actualy there is some problems with ISDN modems) |

Right, Done! I have emailed a letter to the RISC OS Ltd Administration and Support addresses.
I shall be interested to hear what they say.

Good idea MAD NURSE, I hope that they are interessed to work in this way and i hope that they undestand that is very important internet access and VDM system for RISC OS :-)
THANK YOU :-) |

In a Future release? No, as a patch for this one. (And previouse ones to retain compatibility). ASAP. |

A further thought, perhaps the internet settings could be loaded and saved in a format compatible with .ins files as used by internet explorer, obviously ingnoring all the ie\outlook customisations. (eg the ones that disable offline email) |

Well,
It's been over a week since I sent the emails to RiscOS Ltd, and they haven't seen fit to reply.It doesn't look like they're going to, which I find rather disappointing to say the least! Hmmm... |

MAD NURE i told about Risc OS Ltd, i'm not mad with RISC OS Ltd but i know that they don't replay fast to this type of e-mails (i also did ask to they about the future 32 bit etc... and i idn't receive an answer) i think that they read all e-mails and make a statistic of what is the problems or requests not replay direct to all users... so i think that all we must send e-mails to what we want, we can build a standard form so they will read fast and know what we want... is this a good idea? :-) |

I think somebody is already doing this. Certainly remember hearing/reading it somewhere. |

I Seem to remember reading/hearing that somebody is already doing a dialer that reads windows .ins files. |

A Dialer that uses the ins files of Windows is a great idea, but my point is that it needs to be a part of RiscOS, so that there is a standard form of dialer for ISP's to provide support for. At the moment, we have !Connect, !ArmTCP, !Socketeer, plus others that I don't know of.
All of them work differently and require different script files. No ISP is going to even think of offering support for Acorn users if they have to support all of these. |

Indeed!! I'd never thought of this, having got that accustomed to Ant Inet Suite together with MultiISP, but I suppose it would be nice! Then again, one of the Pro's (IMHO) of RiscOS, is that the wheel is not re-invented all the time - ie. most Windoze Word Proc packages tend to include quiet flashy drawing tools (all of them), how much extra code does that add to them?? Why bother?? Why not simple have a single Drawing program. Hey, the revelance of that made sense to me, but it's getting late. Night all! |
