Stu I just tested W98SE as follows:
Started DXB2004 and via telnet connected to a cluster. I started the system monitor program. You can find it at: Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Monitor. That program indicates how busy your processor is at the moment. It showed a very low value, a few percent. Then I pulled the ethernet cable from the computer, the CPU usage went to 100%. I cancelled DXB2004, the usage dropped to next to nothing and stayed there. I reattached the ethernet cable to the computer, and using the built in Windows telnet program I connected to the cluster. The CPU utilization was just a few percent. I pulled the ethernet cable, the usage stayed at a low value. I have tried other telent clients, none of them exhibit the 100% CPU utilization problem. Stu, have you tested using the System Monitor so you can see actual CPU utilization? The problem exists with DXBase2002/2003/2004 and Windows 98, ME, 2000. I have not tested it with XP, but I believe others have reported the problem there as well. I can live with it, but its long past the time when it should be fixed.
