- Here's the problem. I just installed the new 3.0 version of Farallon's
- PhoneNet software on my tiny AppleTalk network. Everything seems to work
- fine until I close a document--any document, on any drive--from within Word
- for Windows 2.0. Then I'm immediately returned to the DOS prompt. Not only
- has Word quit, but all running Windows processes have quit and Windows 3.1
- itself has quit--with no error messages appearing whatever.
-
- I'm running over DOS 5.0 on a Zeos 486-33 with 8MB RAM. I've got an old
- AppleTalk PC card installed (which worked fine with the previous version of
- PhoneNet). I usually run a few TSR's, but disabling them didn't affect the
- problem. I've assigned my networked printer to different ports under
- PhoneNet (printing works fine on all of them with the new software).
- There's no question the problem is directly related to PhoneNet--when I
- disable PhoneNet, everything works; when I run any of the PhoneNet batch
- files from DOS and reenter Windows, the problem then shows up.
-
- Aside from the AppleTalk card, I've got an IN-2000 SCSI card installed and
- a card that adds COM3 and COM4 and LPT2 to the usual two serial and one
- parallel ports included in the system. I don't see how any of these could
- cause simply closing an open document in Word to abort everything and
- return me to DOS!
-
- Needless to say, any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm pretty baffled
- this morning. Thanks.
