Are you saying that DOS isn't capable or running mission critical apps 24/7
without failure ? I'd certainly dispute that! Can't remember the last time
the DOS based comms machine here was rebooted - let's see, moved in in April
of last year & it's never been down (or touched) since then. Doesn't even
have a monitor or keyboard attached anymore (remotely controlled as needed).
It only runs one task (& does that well) - but it's uptime is better than
the RH9 machine (& obviously better than this blasted XP box). The only
other machine that comes close is the eComStation machine which has been
rebooted once since moving in last year.
I have a lot of faith in the DOS machine, it's ddefinitely a setup & ignore
situation.
cheers,
Lance
