another happy gateway owner since i ve been seeing all kinds of complaints regarding gateways lately on here i thought i post my recent pleasant experiences my machine dx v this past friday this was two weeks to the day from when i called the order in upon unboxing it i found everything to be in perfect order all the peripherals i ordered were properly installed jumbo cd rom i was very impressed with the quantity and quality of the gateway documentation all software came with the original disks and manuals the gateway manual itself is in a nice ring binder the ati gup came with build drivers all other software i specified microsoft office was properly installed the machine came right up out of the box and has been performing flawlessly it s been on all weekend and it hardly even reaches room temperature i think the big roomy tower case has a lot to do with it it s up and running dos with no problems i ve also read about some people having problems with high speed serial communications i used the dos interlink program which lets me link to my old computer via a serial port at k baud it then maps the other machines two hard disks as my disks f g you can cd to these drives and either run programs or copy files it s almost like a peer peer lan except you can also run programs on the other machine it s not a two way street the other machine is the server and this machine is the client so thats where it seems to differ from the peer to peer stuff for a bundled dos utility its very impressive my jumbo took about minutes to back up mb of data i also by passed any potential gateway monitor problems by taking the credit and applying it towards a nec fg i love this monitor so i m glad there is some good news gateway stories and i m glad it was me now if it just keeps working john john gayman wa wbu uucp uunet wa wbu john packet wa wbu wb eah
