Hi Scott,
I've been using Maximus for about seven or eight years now and have always 
been happy and satisfied with it. (Still am!)
However, I've recently run into a minor problem that is bugging me to no end. 
I run a four node system. Each node runs on its own PC under Win95 (dos 
version of Maximus.) The four PC's are connected to a server using a thinnet 
ethernet LAN. The problem I'm experiencing showed up when I changed my server 
from Novell Netware 4.1 to Windows NT 4. No change in hardware. The network 
clients on the PC's were changed from Novell Client32 with 32 bit IPX to 
Microsoft Client for Windows with NetBUEI. All the software is run from the 
server, and all the data files are stored on the server. The PC's have 
nothing related to the BBS on them.
Since the change, users in chat mode get the other users previously entered 
lines repeated almost every time the other user enters another line. 
Examining the IPC files shows the multiple lines that the user has entered as 
part of the conversation.
I havn't done much troubleshooting of this problem because, frankly, I don't 
know where to begin. I'd appreciate it if you could give me some idea of what 
to look for or at.
Thanks,
...jim
PS. I don't know if you remember me, but we met a few years ago. You were in 
Ottawa, and attended a Net243 gathering with Robert Presland and a few 
others. I was the rather tall guy that wanted very much to ask you when 
Maximus v3 was going to be ready, but was told before you arrived, in no 
uncertain terms, that I was not to do so. 
... Horrible bug encounterd. God knows what has happened.
