Conrad Nobili just posted his tale of woe (and intrigue) re. XferIt. I
thought I was the only one with this problem.
XferIt is great (I think) as far as interface and functionality go, but
with the slow transaction process I'm experiencing it's next to useless.
The reason I don't just trash it is that *I saw it work like a charm*!!!
Then it started acting up. I've had this problem with all versions, from
1.1 to the current 1.3.1.

Since I'm totally puzzled as to why XferIt may be acting like this (other
TCP/IP apps I use work just fine), I'm asking others - in particular Conrad
- to briefly describe their soft/hardware. I'd suspect some INIT conflict,
but I tried shutting off all the INITs with no luck.
Steve (the author) is not aware of any such problems.

The setup(s) which gave me problems:

Mac SE and Mac II
System 6.0.4 and 6.0.5
3Com and Apple ethernet cards
XferIt 1.3.1 (and older)


Thanks in advance!
