Naughty, Naughty!! The ping program you are trying to figure out gets integrated into AmiLink at install to "ping" the dongle during AmiLink operations. We know what you really want pin information for….;^} Actually, your best bet is to get rid of AmiLink. RGB is a pitiful bunch to work with. Each improvement makes the program worse. They charged $400 for a Toaster 4000 compatible upgrade which degraded the program, had none of the advertised extra features working, (like the Studio16 interface) and then have the Gall to ask for another $400 for a years worht of tech support! They are a company of broken promises, schmoozers and liars. They forces out their top technical guy who went to work for Pride and when Pride came out with their Amiga based editor, RGB filed suit. So now all their energy is devoted to filing suits to protect the cash cow rather than to developing a superior product people might prefer to the competition. Course, they don't want competition cause then they'd have to charge fair instead of rip-off prices. BTW, there is a company in WI, I thnk that will de-dongle-ize the program for you if you send them the original disk and $60. Maybe someone here can tell you thir name and phone. I don't remember it thougI talked to them once before I decided to try to replace my AmiLink system with something more robust, reliable and that doesn't depend on RGB. wmc – via Autopilot!
