This is a question for those poor souls who are using PC Interface by Locus. Mind you, PCI is not that bad of a package, but we *are* talking about DOS here. Anyhow, I digress ... I installed PCI on a SCO UNIX box and on a couple of DOS PC's (one a PS/2 and the other a clone) all using WD Ethernet adapters. Everything was working quite swimmingly, until I decided to "simulate" a system crash. After halting the UNIX box, all of the PC's completely locked up, and I had to cycle the power on both to bring them back to the land of the living. This is a completely unnacceptable situation ... we have some customers who are going to have *bunches* of these DOS abominations running PCI; having every damn machine going belly-up in this fashion is not going to make anyone very happy ... is this something I'll have to learn to live with, or is something odd going on here? -- Michael Stefanik, MGI Inc, Los Angeles | Opinions stated are never realistic Title of the week: Systems Engineer | UUCP: ...!uunet!bria!mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If MS-DOS didn't exist, who would UNIX programmers have to make fun of?
