>Folks,
>
>For a very long time now, we have been investigating reports of the CPU
>utilization on a desktop pc going way up whenever a telnet or internet
>connection is lost.  After literally hundreds of hours of work on this over
>the past year or so, we concluded a couple months ago that the problem was
>not in our code but instead had to be in one of the Windows .dll files that
>we use to establish and maintain the internet connection.
>
>Over the recent holidays, we got confirmation of a bug which had the effect
>of reporting that data was present at the port, when in actuality, no data
>was present.  This caused our code to believe that it should read data but
>there was nothing to read.  Since we now know what the cause of the problem
>has been, we have incorporated a work around fix in our DXbase 2004 code to
>overcome the defect in the external .dll.  The issue doesn't seem to be
>present on most Win95, Win98, and WinME machines.  It seems to have came
>about with NT, Win2k, and carried forward to XP.
>
>In any case, if you need the fix, it can be obtained from the following url.
>Just unzip and overwrite the two files in your existing DXbase 2004 folder.
>This is the same patch that contains the recent radio additions so if you
>already got that, you have the fix.

>This patch will only work with DXbase 2004.
