This is not a problem with Ascend, it is a problem with PCAnywhere. When a PCAW session ends the called host sends a packet to every IP address on its network. Don't ask me why, I guess Symantec never heard of broadcast addresses. Ascend appear to have newer SW versions that no longer lock up when a PCAW host disconnects. I personally though would rather not run PCAnywhere at all. (And not run NT but that is another issue :) Cheers, Michiel PS: does anyone know if PCAnywhere 8.0 is any better in this respect? -- Michiel Boland <boland@diva.nl> Digital Valley Internet Professionals Duivendaal 4, Wageningen, The Netherlands Phone: +31 317 465555, Fax: +31 317 460276 ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <HR> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg09787.html">(ASCEND) PCAnywhere Bug</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: RHS Linux User <eds@winniepooh.audionet.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09832.html">(ASCEND) Mailing List Archive</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09830.html">Re: (ASCEND) The MAX TNT</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09787.html">(ASCEND) PCAnywhere Bug</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09785.html">(ASCEND) NFAS</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail8.html#09831"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd208.html#09831"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
