Hawaii - Attention Ed

by STEPHEN STANELAN » Mon, 08 Jul 1996 04:00:00

Ed last night on Hawaii, I had some problems I would like to bring to
your attention.  I have not run into this before ver. 1.36.
I had a freeze up while switching to Nascar.  I got a Please Wait message
and my machine locked-up.
The second problem happened while racing up-front at Bristol.  My car
seemed to explode while near one other car, while running in the lead.  
It was destroyed and immediately on the hook.  I got a Shakey Connection
message upon entering the chat room.  Could this be line noise?  My
latency was .11 or lower.

It does sound like line noise.  The explosion was probably caused by
the fact that on a noisy line, more data is going to get lost, so the
other car probaly warped into you.
