I have a query for anyone who has replicated this behavior.<BR>
Am I alone?<BR>
<BR>
As part of shaking out my ver2.0d, I configured netrom.<BR>
Of course I did it wrong the first time - three error messages "attach netrom first".<BR>
It took a couple more tries to make the msgs go away - they did...<BR>
NET/ROM seemed to work after that - but I never found neighbors...<BR>
Oh well - I may not have any neighbors:-(<BR>
<BR>
In this process I found two really strange behaviors:<BR>
<BR>
First, documentation I found says "attach netrom" is an automatic part of "start netrom".<BR>
My experience negates that information.<BR>
A specific "attach ..." is required. WHY?<BR>
<BR>
Second, the "status display" goes nuts.<BR>
The top three lines scroll off the screen and output starts double spaced.<BR>
Occasional colored fields in the top lines are written - never the whole lines. WHY.<BR>
<BR>
But it gets worse...<BR>
Even after abandoning the trial and restoring an earlier autoexec.nos.<BR>
even after re-loggin in, <BR>
even after rebooting the op-sys, <BR>
>> the status display remains buggered up. WHY?<BR>
I have several months of good results followed by a day of junk that won't go away...<BR>
What happened to my defaults?<BR>
<BR>
So there you have it - NET/ROM leaves some dirty tracks behind a very bad experience.<BR>
Nope - I have not found warning to avoid netrom as a feature...<BR>
<BR>
Can anyone make sense of this?<BR>
Time is not an issue - but I'd like my good jnos back...<BR>
