> Anyone have trouble with Trlog's dupe checking function in
> SS. At W6UE we had two PC's connected in a multiport
> network for SS. On Sunday afternoon on one of the two
> computers (the IBM Aptiva) stopped finding dupes as if the
> program lost its internal dupesheet. Mike, KA6SAR first
> noticed it when he started getting "QSO B4" replies from
> all of the callsigns on the bandmap that appeared to be
> "fresh meat" (e.g. no asterisks in front of the callsign). As
> soon as he realized what was going on (and mumbling
> something about using CT instead of TRlog), he started
> using alt-L (log search) to dupe calls, and sure enough it
> became clear that the program wasn't duping properly.
> The other computer in our two computer multi-port network
> (our Dell P-133) was still tracking dupes just fine.

> I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the IBM Aptiva
> with the duping problem also seemed to be having
> trouble handling all the activity on the multi-port. At times
> the keyboard latency got so bad that it was almost
> impossible to edit in the exchange window (at these
> times it would take a few seconds between a key press
> and the corresponding call/exchange window update).
> This PC was getting its packet feeds over the multi-port
> from the other logging computer which was in-turn
> connected to our Telnet computer using the Trlog
> packet port function.

> Any idea what might cause the lost dupe capability or
> the sluggish editing? The Aptiva has a flaky A: drive,
> but after the initial boot from floppy into DOS mode, I
> didn't think there was any A: drive activity to speak of.
