I just received my registered copy of WinQVT/Net V1.5 I like 
some of the new features, such as being able to load QVT/Net
without having to open a telnet session. I also like the fact
that QVT/Net can now handle RCP as well as FTP. However, I
think I have found a "feature" in QVt/Net that shouldn't be
there. (Yep, I think I found a bug.)

Here is what happens:

    Load QVT/Net (either from the load=, run= or as
    the Program Manager. It doesn't seem to matter.)

    Start a single telnet session or start multiple telnet
    session. I get the same results whether I open one or 
    more sessions on one or more different hosts.

    Close a telnet session. This is where I think the problem
    is occurring. It doesn't matter whether I close the session 
    by logging out or whether I choosing the Exit command
    from the File menu. In both cases I get the same result.

As soon as I logout, I get an "Unrecoverable Application Error"
and the current applicatio (WinQVT/Net) is terminated. Then, while
still in the same Windows session, if I restart WinQVT/Net, I get 
the following error as soon as I launch QVT/Net:
    Packet Driver Error: TYPE_IN_USE (Access Type)

So, I click OK and that error message goes away and a new one
shows up:
    Can't Access IP handle interface type 1
    Packet Driver probably not loaded.

And finally, when I click OK, that error message goes away and
I get the following:
    Network Initialization Error!

What is going on? When I exit windows and run the diagnostics that
came with the packet drivers, I am told that the packet driver
is still there and that it is still sending and receiving packets.
Everything seems to work except for the new version of WinQVT/Net.

I've stripped my autoexec.bat file and my config.sys down to just
the following:
    Autoexec.bat
        3c501 0x60 5 0x300
        PiktInt
        PATH C:\Windows
        SET TCPCONFIG=C:\Windows\Tool\QVT-Net\QVT_TCP.RC
    Config.sys
        Files=20
        buffers=15
        Device=C:\Tool\sys\himem.sys
        device=c:\windows\SmartDrv.sys 1024 512

I've got a 3c501 card and am using the 3c501 packet driver version
7.2, which was obtained from clarkson. I never had any problems
with the packet drivers with version 1.3 of QVT/Net.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

On a related note: anybody know if QPC Software (the WinQVT/Net
folks) are reachable by e-mail or by phone? I like their 
software, but I'm not sure about their support.
