I can't live with it for a while until I get it up (as it were). I can get any Unix based OnLine up in 15 minutes, but I have a site where I can't get NT OnLine to talk to Win95 NewEra and we've been trying for weeks. I can't replicate the problem anywhere, and nor can Informix. Hence my frustration. From a performance perspective, NT OWS runs ok, but, Jeez, it takes forever to get going.... :-( -- Ciao, Billy I'd be in favour of apathy, but I just couldn't be bothered...
