Apparently, it has some syncronization and timing problems on such networks. This problem arises mailing when sharing large files across the network, say from a shared database application (in their example, they used Omnis-3 or something like that). The databases can become corrupted under certain circumstances. Does anyone know what causes this? Is this also possible when using Ethernet and smaller files? Just curious. I don't want to recommend something that doesn't work (although "they are working on the problem"). -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
