RE: IoCallDriver on Win2k

I’ve had exactly the same problem with my driver. I get this from IoCallDriver() when I ask to receive a response immediately following a send. It only occurs when the device is plugged directly into the port; it doesn’t when connected via a hub.

I can’t believe no one hasn’t seen this and fixed it!

Ummm, what problem are you talking about?

Funny. The Forum didn’t appear to link my reply to the original thread, which described the problem.

I wondered if you were using the forum interface. Many (most?) of us
get these messages as an email list or as an NNTP newsgroup. I don’t
know what percentage of us use the forums for submitting messages; I,
personally, find that kind of interface awkward. I use the forum only
for archival purposes.

Well over one-third and typically just less than one-half the messages are posted via the web forum interface.

Whether Lyris (the software that manages the lists) links your reply to the original topic seems to depend on a few things:

  1. The subjects need to match

  2. There’s some (annoyingly short) time-limit when replies with the same subject will be matched to the original thread.

  3. Some other mystic, proprietary, and silly limitation

These rules seem to apply irrespective of how the message originates.

Note that Lyris (being a listserver system) is blissfully unaware that the forum interface even exists and actually receives posts from the web interface via email.

Usually the NNTP user agents use the References header field to build the
tree-style discussion threads.

The user agent always put the Message-Id header field which is unique.

When the new thread is started, the user agent does not fill the References
field.

When the reply is written, the user agent copies the References field of the
“parent” message (if any) and appends the parent’s Message-Id to it at tail.
This makes the References field for the reply message.

Then the tree-style sorting of newsgroup messages is trivially done by
References field.

I expect Lyris web interface to use the same filling of References field.

BTW - due to some strange thing, the osr.com mailer cannot accept emails from
storagecraft.com - it rejects them as spam. This occured late Dec, I tried to
contact Tony Mason at xxxxx@osr.com - but this email was also bounced.

This caused me to switch to NNTP interface.

Perhaps it’s personal?

Seriously, thought, you should send email to xxxxx@osr.com – not Tony. Of course, that would probably also be bounced.

While we run the incoming mail servers here at OSR, all incoming mail to any OSR domain (including lists) is scanned by a commercial anti-spam/anti-virus service. We don’t run it, we don’t control it, we don’t monitor it. However, if you send me a copy of the bounce, I can look into the problem for you and probably get it rectified.

It could be an SPF problem… that’s not uncommon these days.

Absolutely not so, Peter. Just some setting of your spam filter.

As about Tony’s address - sorry, but he used this address on public forums, so
I considered it is not private. Sorry once more, I will not disclose it
anymore.

I see.

OK. I will email to your personal address at osr.com and get the bounce. The
problem is how to deliver the bounce to you - the public forum is not
appropriate for this :slight_smile: and your personal email is exactly what generates
bounces :slight_smile: I have no other means.
