Correct - we don't need this stuff because of MinGW. Actually, a big chunk of that was just setting the font color on the console to blue for the copyright message. I'm not sure why we ever needed that. :-) We still need conio.h for _getch() I believe. > Also, any idea on the missing packets? It's exactly what happens on MacOSX > too.

Well, on one Windows 7 box, I found that if I increase the HID driver packet buffer size, the dropped packets went away. So, I'm going to submit a patch to HIDAPI to do that. On a Windows XP box, I still see occassional dropped packets even with the increased buffer size. It doesn't appear that the buffer is getting overrun in that case. I'm really not sure what to do - as best I can tell it might be a bug in the USB chipset driver or something. In your situation, in which case are you seeing dropped packets? Config update? Config dump? Or both? And with which remote(s)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
