Time to start upgrading my motley crew of 486s - they are too old and the hardware unreliable now. Replacing my "main" computer first - besides running CT during contests, I'll probably run the odd w
I don't run CTWin, but I know of at least one limitation. It doesn't support the DVP card. So if you are using that, you will still need to run the DOS version. Win98SE is a reasonable way to go, alt
Hi Ted, Welcome to the 21st century! If can live without DVP support for now, then install Windows XP and run CTWIN. Otherwise, Windows 98SE would be a good choice, and you don't need to install DOS.
Hi Ted - I can't give you advice regarding CT vs. CT for Windows. (I am not using them anymore due to having W2000 as sole OS on the machine since late 2000). I will say that support for Windows 98 b
is it possible to have some of the computers in a network running CT-DOS and others running CT-WIN and they can still communicate with one another? K4OJ
using my nettsr they talk just fine, though it does take a couple changes to the command line because ctwin's default Ethernet setup is different than the nettsr default. I would expect they should t
John made some excellent points, well thought out. However, with regard to security fixes, ect., most of the malicious code coming out now is not targeted against older systems. For example, that lat
Windows XP Pro will run all of them. That's what I use. By going to the older operating systems, you'll exclude yourself from the big advantages of XP or 2000. Note: If you install XP or 2000 use NTF
I totally disagree about your XP comments. It is full of features that are not included in W2K Pro including Terminal Services server. It is also rock solid. It can do anything W2K Pro can and then s

I have used CTWin and CTDos (same CT version) with a CT serial port network without problems in several contests during the last two contest seasons. One computer ran CTWin with WinME and the others
You CANNOT mix the loop option with Ethernet. The loop option essentially breaks the serial port into two single direction ports. The data comes in on the Rx line from one station and out on the Tx l

At 04:14 PM 8/5/2003, Jim White, K4OJ asked: K1KI says YES. K1TTT says YES if you use his NETTSR. I don't know if they posted their responses to the reflector, I've been having incoming E-mail proble
I think you mean Citrix. Actually, Citrix was originally developed by an IBMer that was involved in the OS/2 development (now there's an OS). They chose the Windows GUI over the OS/2 GUI because it w
OK next question... If the bulk of the computers are using 10/100 networking bu an odd computer does NOT have a networking card... Can it be used in the network "traditionally" by attaching it to a c
Had it working with changes to NETTSR. CT-DOS uses a different port than CT-Win. Think I remember confirming the port numbers with network sniffer last year. Dug back through the archived ct-user fil
sorry, that is just an urban legend. there is code in the nettsr to prevent this kind of loop... (really, there is!) i am not sure how ct would handle this though, it might get confused trying to se
Okay, that is great. Back about three years ago before I went to J3A, I talked with K1EA about doing this, as I was trying to set up our network and had some laptops with only one serial port, mixed
