Bart,
The encyclopedia and atlas only work with the macintosh software. Nothing
on them I can access with the Amiga. Same with the animals cd.
My LineLink has been OK so far. Still no GPFax to try with it.
Sometimes I don't get a CONNECT on CIS and have to hangup and redial. Once
in a while the MR LED goes dark and I sit and wait for it to light back
up. Sometimes it times out and AP disconnects. However, for the most part
MR comes back on and the session continues and ends normally afterwards.
For $99 + S&H I don't think I made a bad purchase, the data transfers have
been near perfect, and I don't think the LineLink has anything to do with
the AutoPilot "looping threads" problem I've been encountering off and on
for the last several weeks.
BTW, now that I've mentioned it here, have you encountered these LOOPING
THREADS? A section of threads continues to be repeatedly scrolled by CIS
until either the rest of the threads are read or the system hangs until
you click on OFFLINE NOW?
When you read that forum's messages you'll find a couple hundred and they
repeat themselves over and over somewhere within the capture. I'll also
get a requester informing me that there is a message header missing or
somesuch thing and then it starts over again. Real weird, can't figure it
out, others have been affected, and it doesn't appear that AP is sending
the request to repeat the loop.
Just real weird, ah well, Happy Easter,
Christopher
