PERSONAL ANALYSIS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Couldn't be farther from the truth. The disk (1.2 gig) Micropolis 1598
SCSI drive C: (partition) is 125 meg, with more then 43 meg of free disk
space. When I "press any key to continue" as stated above, it just
comes back to this screen immediately. "Esc" doesn't work to get you
out either. So I just had to close the DESQview window.
I suspect as shown on Line 1 above:
"Diagnostic Utility for PCBoard v14.5a"
that this aspect of v15.0 beta has not been upgraded yet.
===============================================================================
POSSIBLE BUG #2:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trying to use the 'W'rite User Info Command.
[EASILY DUPLICATED]
I have also installed 'all' of the PSAs included with PCB v15.0 beta.
- Alias Support
- Full Address Support
- Password Changing Support (*)
- Verification Support
- Caller Statistics Support
Prior to their installation, I didn't notice any problems. I've pretty
much tested everything out that I can possibly think of and can't find
any other bugs other then the fact that the "W"rite User Info command
doesn't work for me as SysOp in local mode (or as a user in local mode),
nor does it work for my users when they want to make changes. I had 3
users who called in attempt to change their password without being able
to get into the "W"rite user info area. I checked the configuration out
and any user on the system with a security level of 4 or above can use
the "W"rite User Info option. All who have tried, including me have had
a security level of 5 (normal access) or higher (like me as SysOp with a
security level of 90) and no luck. All other functions work like they
are suppose too.
PERSONAL ANALYSIS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the new PSAs is affecting the 'W' command. Probably the 'Password
Changing Support (*)'
PS: Keep up the great job. Having previously been a beta tester for
Ken Goosens and RBBS, I can understand the frustrations involved. I'm
not a programmer, but I do have a good idea of what you need to know in
order to fix a bug.
===============================================================================
POSSIBLE BUG #3:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have a user that can not upload using any protocol (internal or external)
on Node 1 (Hayes Accura 14.4 modem/fax). Nothing has changed from what I
can tell, except in the Modem Configuration for PCB v15.0 beta, the old
"Hayes V Series Modem" is no longer listed. Could that have an impact?
The user is using a Intel 14.4 modem. On Node 2 (Intel 14.4) the same user
does 'not' have any problems uploading.
COM PORTS ON BOTH NODES ARE LOCKED AT 38,400. MEMBERS DIAL IN SPEED
UNDER TELIX IS 38,400. GETS 14.4 CONNECT, 38,400, LAP-M ERROR
CORRECTION, ETC.
Downloads by same user on both nodes are okay.
The Hayes Accura 14.4 modem/fax is not listed in PCBMODEM.EXE. Hayes
(in Atlanta, GA) told me that any of their 14.4 configurations should
work for async communications. I am using the Hayes Ultra 14.4
settings in PCBMODEM.EXE and then using PCBSETUP.EXE to lock the com
port to 38,400 baud.
PERSONAL ANALYSIS: UNKNOWN.
