In Writelog 10.16 (latest version downloaded from Web), I can't get telnet to function: follow Help file directions, give it a valid address in the window, but it continues to return an error message saying unable to connect. I have an always-on DSL line; my telnet program (SecureCRT) is able to connect before and after I try under WL. Any ideas? BTW, I got fed up with DXbase 2000 and now use WL in its DXCC mode as my main station log as well as for contesting. 73 Gene K7dBV <genewill@ordata.com> -- WWW: http://www.contesting.com/writelog Submissions: writelog@contesting.com Administrative requests: writelog-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-writelog@contesting.com
