I recently purchased ReadyNet from Corvus. This is a 1Mbit/sec network that works over twisted pair. It comes packaged with all the hardware and software for about $500. My problem is this. Simple DOS applications that work fine without the network software loaded will not run when the network software is loaded. An example is IBM Writing Assistant (an old (around 1986), simple word processing program). The program begins to hit the disk and load into memory, but then goes looking at the floppy drive. The drive light stays on for a few seconds, the screen clears, and then the system goes idle. Then it's time for a reboot. Does anyone have a copy of Readynet that they have been successful with in a similar environment? How about other LAN's (Novell, etc.), any similar problems? Thanks in advance for any help.
