The simple problem is that the PC doesn't have a dual-speed controller, and as such can't write at the 2x data rate required by 1.2M and 1.44M diskette drives. I have no personal experience - I'm speaking from a (fuzzy) memory of this stuff - but I AM sure of the controller issue - you DO need a new one! Msg 41393 is 08 line(s) on 02/21/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/10-NET "10-Net and Paradox won't work together". What do you mean "won't work together"? The reason I ask: do you mean for example you can't run it locally while the network is up? Or that you can't access a file on the server? Or just what? You DO know that you can't SHARE databases unless they are designed for it and the program running KNOWS it is running on a network, right? In other words, you'd be unable to open the databases when a 2nd program started.

Msg 41397 is 10 line(s) on 02/23/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to BARRY POLLACK re: UPLOAD/SEND CBBS doesn't support file uploads. If you wanted to upload MSGS, then most commo program should be able to handle it - just use the ? char for the "go ahead" char, and put a teensy delay between chars since CBBS isn't interrupt driven. I do it all the time. One POSSIBLE problem with the ? prompt would be that if it is at the end of a line, it might be seen when echoed rather than the ? on the next line. But fiddle (and of course ABORT any msgs that aren't what you wnat). Good luck. Msg 41398 is 04 line(s) on 02/23/89 from ERIC BOHLMAN to ANDY SHAPIRO re: 10-NET This may sound elementary, but have you verified that you can indeed acesss files across the network? Also make sure that paradox is set for the right drive (I'm guessing that C on one machine becomes D on the other). I've found that setting up 10-net involves a fair amount of trial and error.

The message that Paradox puts out when it tries to load on the network is: UNEXPECTED CONDITIONS: index of Fd and then it locks up. Same thing from EITHER end of the network when Paradox is started. Again, I haven't seen this, I'm taking the other folks' word for it. Eric's suggestion that PARADOX might not know about the change in drive designations is possible, except that (they tell me) Paradox HAS been installed for network operation. As for file access, I think they have that one worked out. The problem seems to be that something happens that prevents Paradox from loading at ALL when 10-NET is running. Further ruminations, anyone?

Msg 41403 is 05 line(s) on 02/23/89 from ERIC BOHLMAN to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/R/10-NET "Installed for network operation" doesn't mean it knows about the drive. I assume that all it means is that the program will use record locks and the like. If the configuration says that it expects to find its files on drive C, and you're running it on drive D (mapped by the network to be another machine's drive C), it will fail. dup. chars. >Function:?
