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
