Thanks for the info Joe. A lack of commonality may be as informative as finding something.
And I agree that running AR User just to maintain the connection is a Band-Aid. AR is a nice program in itself for customizing/filtering etc. But running two programs when one would suffice 'most of the time' seems overkill. Now I will use AR to feed Writelog during Contests due to it's excellent filtering features. That makes sense, well at least to me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Subich, K4IK" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'FireBrick'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'DXBase List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 2:46 PM Subject: RE: [DXBase] Telnet Takeover commonality > > Bill, et al., > > There is no commonality between our systems and I see the > "telnet goes to 100%" syndrome here. > > For those that have been recommending using AR-User or > another telnet client, that only masks the problem.
