Hi have a question about PARNET. I have it working but was wondering if there is some way to detect that the computer across the net was turned on, using a script.. Right now if the other computer is off it will hang the system.. (trying to run the assigns only if the other computer is on, ie assign hd: net:hd\ etc.) Any help is apreciated! -Tom-

Sorry, there's no way to detect that the other computer is down from parnet.device, so parnet doesn't support it.

Thanks for the info.. seems like a timeout could have been put into the code or something.. or at least another program that writes to the other RAM: device and times out if it doesn't happen within X seconds to be tested in the user-startup before I set up all my aliases. Anyway PARNET IS GREAT! (I just want it to be even better!) -Tom-
