Re: TCP/IP Disconnected Sessions With Rumba

Thanks MaryLou,
I cant help feeling that the Walldata product is flakey in that area.
I have to hardcode in the HLLAPI  error handling for disconnected sessions.
My question to you is what version of Rumba ie 95/NT and were they
configured fot TCP/IP.
cheers Dave
