[WT-support] wtDX Telenet status update?

[Tim Duffy K3LR]

Olivier,

Fair enough. I hope someone can try things to see it fail , then to change and fix
it.

I think that you did not have the problem at FY5KE during CQWW Phone?

I ran it all last weekend during ARRL SS CW without fail (on one computer - no
network).

Dave, W9ZRX really tried hard to fix it during the CQWW contest, but ran out of ideas
to try.

With dedicated contest computers, there is not much to go wrong with settings for
other programs, because there are none! Our custom made (by Dave, W9ZRX) XP machines
only have WinTest on them!

73!
