http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/rsc/pop3get.c
(or was it rsc/plan9/pop3get.c?) is a pop3 downloader
I wrote long ago but which shouldn't be hard to 
adapt to the new system.

I hope to get pop3 support into upas/fs at some
point, but I've been doing other things.  If you
want a hacked upas/fs that can talk pop3 send me mail.

[9fans] Communication with a Network Printer

[Mark C. Otto]

I am trying to set up printing on two network printers, an HP3si and a HP4000. 
Both have jet direct cards.  The handshaking with the printer does not seem to
work:

lp -d3si file_to_print
Dec 19 11:02:44 failed to receive ACK, received <0x6c>
Dec 19 11:02:44 failed to receive ACK before sending data

The message seems to be coming from lpsend.  I could use some pointers on where
to look next.

I can telnet to the printers and get the tcp/ip information on the jet direct
card and call on the printer port

telnet tcp!3si!515 # or !9100
connected to tcp!3si.irm.r9.fws.gov!9100 on /net/tcp/2

device_name	loc	dest_host	phys_dev_name	speed	class	def_proc	spooler	stat	kill
daemon	sched
3si	Hen-Conf	bfbooby	tcp!3si!9100	8192	post+300dpi+duplex+nohead	generic	generic
generic	generic	tcppost	FIFO
4k	Hen-Conf	bfbooby	tcp!4k!9100	8192	post/2+600dpi	generic	generic	generic
generic	tcppost	FIFO

I made directories for each printer:

LPLIB/prob/3si and LPLIB/prob/4k

and made them world writable.  After running the commands, nothing was in them.

[9fans] reading email from POP3 server

[William Staniewicz]

How can I download my mail from my ISP's POP3 server and hand it off to the Plan 9 mail
programs to save in my local mailbox? Is there a program or method to do this?

Currently, I dial in to my ISP; Have a dynamic ip address; Don't have
an ethernet address.

I have read ...
ndb(6), listen(8), mail(1) and smtpd(6)
Getting Started With Plan 9 (sections: Reading mail; Sending mail)
Last 12 months of 9fans archives
... but not sure which direction to take with this.

Any ideas?

Bill
