I recently bought the 2.1b CD and the November PDK CD, with TCP/IP beta. I installed both, but have removed TCP/IP as it had a rather annoying habit of crashing my machine. This was unpredictable, but didn't seem to correlate with my doing anything unusual - it might occur after merely using telnet once. Sometimes I'd get some warning that things were wrong - no keyboard response, but the mouse would still work; all 3 indicator lights coming on for no reason, and pressing NUMLOCK causing the CAPSLOCK and SCROLL LOCK lights to go off, but not affecting the NUMLOCK light, etc. If I pressed CAD at that point, all was OK. However, if I didn't press this (and sometimes there was no warning) the machine locked solid. The mpouse cursor didn't move, pressing any keys had no effect at all, and the only solution was to switch off and back on. Has anyone else noticed this? It looks like a great package, worth buying, but ONLY if it doesn't kill the OS. For now, I'm back to single session DOS programs in a window... Richard Stanton
