Trenton, NJ Lines: 27 Ok - that tears it. Emulex won't help me, Wang doesn't know how to spell Xenix, and I've got a BIG project due - who dya call? the NET ANIMALS... Configuration: Wang PC/381 - Phoenix bios, 4 meg RAM, 2 42mg drvs Emulex DCP/MUXi (8 ports, 128k ram) Software - Multiview, FoxBase, VP/ix. The Problem - I have a large application written in Foxbase I want the whole system to have access to. Great, things work wonderfully fromt he console and anyone on tty1a or tty2a - BUT - on any of the DCP mux ports, there is a 1-1.5 second delay anytime you switch fields. You can imagine what a pain it is filling in any reasonably sized form. All MENU TO functions work great, and the system seems to hum along fine (except for BROWSE - dont talk to me about BROWSE) Is anyone else using this mux board? Is anyone using it with a Wang PC/381? Has anyone had this problem in foxbase? Thanx etc etc etc PS - Does anyone know if FoxPro is going to be available for Xenix? /--------------------+ 'The shortest distance +------------------\ | Dave Shevett | between two puns is a | Labyrinth II BBS | | shevett@labii.UUCP | straight line...' | W.
