Hello all,
Currently I am working on a Face-to-Face/Computer- Mediated
communication experiment for another's dissertation. It involves
four people solving an inductive-learning problem with the
communication either by talking, or typing to each other on
different terminals.
I'm using sessions in a token-ring environment to implement the
computer-mediated part of the experiment; They are arranged so each
session will only send/receive information in one direction, for
simplicity's sake. My problem is that if I send messages very quickly,
the communication hangs on all four stations. The messages can be a
single character, but the mass of messages will still cause the
communications to halt. I have played with send/receive timeouts
in many different configurations, to no avail. I have even made
my program ack messages back, and hang on a send until an ack message
has been received, but the problem goes away. This suggests to me
that it may not be a timeout problem at all, which baffles me.
Please, if you have had experience with this before, and have an
answer or work-around, please, PLEASE, let me know! This program must
work soon for this lady to collect data in time for her dissertation.
Thanks in advance,
- Rocco Martin
