David,
I've had to use DCC (unfortunately, before ethernet connections) many a time
over the years to get files from one system to another. Your list should
prove most useful if, God forbid, I ever have to use it again.
My experiences with it have shown it to be extremely buggy, even when
everything had been set up, and had been working at one point. There have
times where I've entered the name of the host system some 5-6 or more times
into the window prompting for it before Windows would finally decide to take
the information and connect me. Perhaps this had something to the IPX/SPX
setup you say DCC had problems without... as I don't think I ever had
installed that (or known much about before some kids wanted to run some
games).
But I wonder how many other people have had the same frustrations trying to
enter a system name several times into a DCC prompt before it was accepted.
Matt
