Hi "Proxo-Users",
 
                 This is Great!! This was what I was hoping for when I started this Folder! Thank You One and All! Like a "One-Stop-Shop" for Proggies! When You download a new program and You read the details about it, You know the web-site is just going to say great things about. How many of us, have downloaded some Proggie that suppose to be the best thing that's come along since "they put pockets on shirts", and then it doesn't do anything but conflicts with other apps, full of "ET Servers" and trogans, or worse it crashes Your "Beloved" 20lbs Silicon Diode paper weight???

With everybody contributing to this thread like this, we not only have a collection of "Time Used and Proved" Apps, but the shared experience of Using the Programs! And if anybody had a problem with configurations of a certain program then we know where to get some help with it. Plus with everyone running different O/Ses, we can know how a certain App will run in a certain environment! Great!!!

Here is some programs I have been working on. Instead of using My ISP's Smtp server, I set a Mail server up on My Over-priced Silicon Diode Paper Weight and by-passed the whole thing. I can send/receive Mail twice as fast as before since it comes straight to me! I have tested probably about 10 and here is the best All around one I have found.

Of course I downloaded the Free version!

And here is another Ghost-mail type Program that I like very much, it's called "U-Mail". It doesn't come with a couple of default smtp servers or a default remailer, but it does have an address book, and a feature that will allow You save the messages that You write, so in about 2 or 3 mouse clicks, You can be on Your way to e-mail that special someone You've been think of e-mailing. I've Ghost mail, this one and a few other chained to the Mail server above! http://users.otenet.gr/~aorf/

I hope that each and everyone of You have just the best day ever!

PS:" I'm testing a "Bounce Spam-mail" proggie right now that works for Web-based E-mails(Yahoo, Hotmail,etc..). If it pans out to be a keeper, I post it soon"--"

Hi Proxo-Friends,

                 Here is a great little program that does a lot of great big things. It's 3D Trace-route Program. It's one of the few proggies that will actually Do more than what is advertised. However, if You do check it out, don't download the Newest Beta version(1.6.36:83). It has a problem with the built-in browser.

I downloaded the next older version(v1.6.35:80 2002-08-18) and it didn't have the browser problem. Also when You install it, it automatically adjusts to Your Default browser settings, so if Your default browser is set-up to use "Proxo", then I suppose ALL the Browsing features should be routed through "Proxo". I'm not sure about that, I haven't tested it that far Yet!

Here's a list of the Features:
Core features:

3d traceroute display, multiple graphics modification options
statistic-window with min, max, average, standard deviation
Whois query to everything with one click
history-window with destination ping time
record and playback: record any trace and playback step by step
and the browser is already built in.
3d Traceroute besitzt eine integrierte deutschsprachige Oberfl?che.
Einfach starten, Umschaltung erfolgt automatisch.
Day and Night trace: Admins beloved toy
Command-line execution mode. Full replacement for good old buddy tracert.
Domain Harvester: helps to find similar domains
passive OS fingerprinting
Port scanner (knows 3,612 well known ports)
IP-Range-Scanner (scan from Start-IP to End-IP)
analyze eMail headers against RBLs
HTTP Server Spy
build in TELNET client
long period Ping and HTTP monitor
Low CPU-Usage
Working with 98, ME, 2K, XP
and if you are lucky, 95, too!

Here is the link for download & ScreenShot:

I think  it's a great 'Tool' that any "Computer-Enthusaist" would want to have.
Hope You have a Great & Wonderful Day,
"Jak"


 

Hi "Proxo-Friends"

                       I just found this e-mail program. I been working on e-mails,(As You can tell by the Downloads & Proggies folder in the Community Discussion's Dir.)http://asp.flaaten.dk/pforum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=&TOPIC_ID=680
Take Care and have a Great & Wonderful Week-end!

Hi "Pooms",
         
           Thanks for the reply! I think both machines were running Norton's AV. After that I saw Your Post, I realized that maybe I must have blocked the Norton AV Agent with the Fire-wall. Is that What You were thinking too?

Sometimes I'm like an "Old Mule", You have to hit me in the head with a "2x4" just to get my attention. Thanks for the help, and if there is something else
that I should be looking at, please by all means "en-lighten" me!

Have a Great & Wonderful Day,
"Jak"

 

Hi "Proxo-Friends",

                   Thanks for the LINKS! I am glad there are still some places that You can find Ghost mail. There was another Version that I found, but the link was dead. I think it was Ghost-Mail6.10. Here is the small zip.file that I'm using in the *Extra Headers* and a Fake *X-Mailer* header. Just "copy & Paste" the values just the way they are in the appropriate box. I had to send my-self several mails in order to "stagger" the values so they looked right when I checked the "Full Headers" in the e-mail. Change anything in them that You wish. Also if You have other added headers I would really like to get a copy of them also. I would greatly like to know if You have a list of POP/SMTP Servers that would hide Your IP when You send Fake E-mails. And if there is anything that I could change in the Headers that I've written to make them better and more convincing, please let me know!

Computers rescued from scrap heap,
repaired in prison, sent to schools

Taking a Byte Out of Crime

The factory floor is brimming with computer parts. Hard drives, monitors and circuit boards cover workbenches. Electronic equipment, in various stages of assembly, is stacked everywhere.

A personal computer factory with an inventory overload? In a way, yes. This is the scene at the Wynne prison unit of the ***** Department of Criminal Justice (*****) in Huntsville where prisoners refurbish computers as part of a work- training program. The finished computers are delivered to ***** schools.

Since its beginning in October, the Computer Recovery Program has shipped 91 computers to 12 schools. That's just a start. Another 70 schools have asked for 1,107 computers. To meet the demand, officials will add a second shift early this year and may go into production 24 hours a day. The program is to expand to the Gatesville and Coffield prison units this year.

The program, approved by the 1999 Legislature, could help alleviate several critical problems.

One is the question of what to do with obsolete computers. State agencies and universities threw away or stored more than 50,000 computers in 1998, up from 37,481 in 1997. In 1994, the number was 14,045.

Another is the need for computers in ***** classrooms. The demand for the recovery program's products is ample evidence of that. Schools were notified of the program through the mail.

The computer repair and assembly skills inmates receive in the program should help prepare them for employment when they are released from prison. Job studies show that computer technicians are in demand. Other studies show that released inmates with marketable skills are less likely to return to prison.

Legislative OK
The program was authorized in a law written by Sen. Bill Ratliff, based on work done by the ***** Comptroller's office.

"It sounded like a reasonable and very cost-effective proposal if the prisoners could rehabilitate those PCs and put them back in use," Ratliff says. "It gave them a way to be trained on electronics and it is a source of rehabbed computers."

Under the program, ***** Correctional Industries(TCI), the prison system's work-training program, can receive, repair or refurbish and resell the state's surplus or salvaged data processing equipment. That allows state agencies to send everything from personal computers to typewriters to the Wynne Unit.

TCI factories employ more than 6,500 inmates overall, with about 60 working in the Computer Recovery Program.

So far, the program has been overwhelmed by the response from suppliers--state agencies and universities--and customers--the schools, which get first dibs on the computers. State agencies and other political subdivisions in the state are next in line.

Growing problem
By October 1999, the program had received 1,400 desktop computers, 2,000 monitors, 370 printers, 85 typewriters, eight printers from mainframe computers, two mainframe disk drives and two fax machines. That adds up to 50 tons of equipment. By December, the total had reached 125 tons.

Finding a useful place for obsolete computers is a national problem. An estimated 20.6 million computers were deemed obsolete in 1998, according to a study from the National Safety Council, but just 2.3 million computers--11.3 percent- -were recycled. The rest were sent to landfills, stored in warehouses or sold for pennies on the dollar. About a third of the equipment that goes to TDCJ's program is unusable and scrapped.

Mike Vandervort, associate vice president and business manager for the University of ***** at xxxxxxx, has shipped several pallets of computers to TDCJ. "The new TDCJ computer recovery program is a great way to dispose of computers that will eventually end up in public schools," he says.

The Comptroller's office has shipped 326 units to the program (terminals, monitors, printers and hard drives).

Chris O'Dell, the agency's Information Resources Manager, says, "Once Workstation Support removes all sensitive information and software from the computer equipment, all we have to do is put it on pallets and shrink wrap it; TDCJ does the rest."

By December, 13 state agencies and universities had shipped equipment to the program. Agencies sending old equipment include the Comptroller's office, the Attorney General's office, the ***** Workforce Commission, the ***** Department of Public Safety, *** ******* State University, the ***** Board of Architectural Examiners and the ***** Water Development Board.

Inmate training
While the program extends the life of computers, it also provides training for inmates. Candidates for the program must have good disciplinary records, participate in vocational classes through the TDCJ's Windham School District and express a desire to acquire vocational skills. Participants are usually two to five years from release. They become certified computer technicians after completing the program.

Using existing TDCJ funds and revenue from scrap sales, the initial capital outlay plus staff costs was about $400,000 for the first year of the program. Lawmakers provided no additional money to TCI for the project.

TDCJ will track the program's workers after their release.

Like any computer maker, recovery program officials want to satisfy their customers. So far, they have.

The first computers went to schools in the Huntsville Independent School District. Katherine M. Young, a pre-school teacher at *** ******** Elementary, wrote to the program after getting the PCs:
"The children were very excited about receiving [the refurbished computers]. Words could never express how grateful we are to you and everyone that prepared them for our use. They will be a very valuable asset in our classroom. Thank you very, very much!"

Hi "HpGuru"

          I think that You have done an Excellent Job on Your Config.files!
The other night I slipped behind the wheel, put the key in the ignition & Fired it up, took it for a spin, and I've been driving it around the block every since!They do just exactly what You said they would! Great!

Soon I'm gonna take it to "strip-road" when I get a chance to, and see what it will do in the quarter!

I'm glad that You decided to Up-load it. You got some things going on "under the hood" that I want to look into a little further.

Take Care and Thanks again for sharing. When You up-load something into the FORUM, You give a little bit Your-self to it. And members from all over the globe can enjoy the treasure that You share with them.

Have a Great & Wonderful Week-End "My Proxomitronic-Friends"!
"Jak"

 

Hi "CJ",

       Good to see You on the FORUM!
I went and checked out the Privoxy Program, and if I'm not mistaken, I think the default listening port for the Privoxy program is 8118. I'm not sure though. I would enter the Local-host IP and Privoxy's default port number in "Proxo's" Remote Proxy list. 127.0.0.1:8118
That's where I would start at anyway.

When I get a chance I will download it check it out. I like the specs on it.

Take Care CJ, and I hope that You have a Great After-Noon!
Best Wishes,
"Jak"
