[WriteLog] Writelog and Wireless for FD

I had tried with 10.84 version an adhoc network.
I had 2 computers running vista and windows7. The connection were wireless. 
The second computer was used to connect in clusters and as backup log. The 
first one was connected to clusters via the first one. I tried this system 
in WPX ssb. It worked very reliable at the start. As the qsos number was 
growing the sytem lost its stability and the second day was working for 1 
hour and stopped again and again. Writelog never worked 100% in network for 
me. Maybe it's my fault. I think that i am over the average computer user 
and i can not make it to work easily. I think something goes wrong. I have 
tried in network n1mm and wintest also but not under heavy conditions. 
Wintest seems that will not ever crash. It works reliable even your 
computers are connected via internet. I repeat that i have not tested it 
under heavy conditions. Writelog works ok under the same conditions but not 
with many qsos, many cluster spots, etc. So i am not sure for these programs 
also.
