Just why would you want to network for general logging purposes? I am
using DX4 and LOVE it. I have networked computers but my normal DXing is
done by me alone and I just use the main log. I do have it (DX4WIN)
running on my laptop for 6 meter openings and control my 706 from
that. The 6M use creates new log (normally) that I can then import to my
full log database.
I suggest that an all-encompassing log program would satisfy absolutely
noone and function very poorly. Contest in WL and track awards and general
logging in DX4.
YMMV
