I have not followed this thread to any extent. However, I have run into plenty
of issues with networking XP Home AND Pro computers at work. With this
thought in mind, I suggest that everyone update their XP computers with the
Service Pack 1 (SP1) offered by Microsoft on their web site.
Plenty of networking issues have been addressed with both versions which
SHOULD allow WriteLog to function properly. I will find out for myself next
weekend when a friend and I get prelim. setup ready for the NAQP RTTY.
Cheers,
Al Zelna, N3KAE
