I guess I need to check out some other software. What I like about DXBase is the summary screen which tells me what I need/don't need. I'm sure the outboard software can't accomplish this, right??????

I'm not so sure. There are several cluster sites I use. One will drop me 6-7

other end.

I almost wonder if the "comatose connection" problem isn't a Windows bug. I used to see my DXSpider node drop it's connections like this when I had it running under Windows 2000, but my connections have been rock-solid since I switched to the Linux operating system a couple of years ago. My Windows PC (which I have DXB running on) continues to momentarily lose connectivity in the manner described. I should check to see what happens if I connect to the node from the Windows PC without going out over the internet, but I'm lazy.

For what it's worth, I've used VE7CC's AR-User for years. I first began using it as a work-around to the dropped connection problem (it has an automatic reconnect feature), but it has such a nice user interface (for configuring filters and stuff) that I'd use it even with a rock-solid connection.
