[WriteLog] Networking

[Eric Scace K3NA]

Eight will work.  More than eight characters doesn't work.  And no embedded spaces in the user name or password; e.g., "ED BAINS"
won't work for a user name even though it is 8 characters and upper case.

Ditto.  I've gotten it to work in mixed OS's.  But I make all the names
simple and in UPPER CASE.  For Example.

	computer name		ONE
	password			ONE

	compurter name		TWO
	password			TWO


Use nothing but UPPERCASE LETTERS.  Keep lengths less than six (or is it
eight,  I know six works).  It's always work for me.

Some folks object to having their stuff renamed.
