Hi,
I and some of my colleagues on the Help Desk have done some further testing
of the Eudora 3.0.2 installer over Tether and have continued to run into
problems.
I used another PB 520, It is System Soft 7.5.1, MacTCP
I tried it with both MacPPP 2.1.3SDb3 (it was on the computer)
and with MacPPP 2.1.2SD (what we distribute)
and they both dropped the connection to Tether immediately
upon clicking on the "Close all open applications..." window.
My coworker tried it on a PM 7600/120, OS 7.6 & OT 1.1.2
with OT/PPP and a Motorolla Power 28.8.
His connection did not drop when he clicked on the close
all open applications window. However, during the installation
he got the error:
"An error has occurred. THe install cannot continue.
MacBinary error -24568
creating file Toshiba"
He clicked on the quit button. I believe the installation continued.
He's going to put MacPPP on the 7600 tomorrow and try that as well.
Also, would it be possible to say in the readme window of the installer
how long the installation takes over Tether? Clients get frustrated
when they dont realize that an installation make take as long as a
half hour or more.
thanks,
Alicia
