I have been working on a host server - client dial in on two windows
machines. Invaluable help from this group (aka Frank) simplified the host
side. Server was running on a Win95 machine, the client was dialing in from
a Win98 box. I couldn't get the client to talk to the server.
For no good reason, I switched the roles of the two machines (server on
Win98, client on Win95).
Just moved the script files and it all worked. Full remote services
available on the client, file gets and puts, etc.
Good news it works, bad news I have no idea why. Both systems running
Kermit 95 2.0.
Its scary, as we envision deployment of the client code to a variety of
Windows machines and have no idea of what the show stopper is, or even it
was in the client or the server. I hope the original issue was the server
side.
I can try some other permutations and other hardware, but that really I'm
just thrashing without a clue.
Any ideas anyone?.
Modem?
Missing some windows prerequisite?
Character set/code page issues? (the 98 box is 850, 95 is 437 as I
recall. I'm off site now)
