I'm having a problem with starting the new KA9Q "net.exe" program on some of the IBM compatible PCs. The program is 1990 copyright version 900928 and it runs fine on most PCs. However, when I try to run it on an AST Bravo/286 PC-AT compatible and an HP Vectra CS PC-XT compatible, I get the following error message continuously: timer: ints were off! I was successfully using 1989 copyright version 890816 of the KA9Q on these machines without any problems. And the above problem occured when I upgraded to the new KA9Q software. I would greatly appreciate any help/suggestions in this matter.

Phil put that test in at my behest. What's happening is that some program
in your PC is turning interrupts off, most likely a TSR. It's better to
get that message than have interrupts turned off, because that makes
communication impossible.
