SYMPTOMS
========

After you install Farallon's Phone Net PC version 3.0, you may receive an error
message similar to one of the following:

  Windows cannot print this file. Disk may be full.

  -or-

  Windows cannot write to this file. Disk may be full.

The print job may not appear in Print Manager.

NOTE: This problem does not occur on every system or configuration that is
running Phone Net PC. This error is also generated if Windows for Workgroups is
installed over Wollongong TCP/IP and is not configured as outlined in Q108007.

CAUSE
=====

This error occurs if you try to print from MS-DOS.

Farallon Technical Support has noted an error in the Phone Net PC documentation
that states you must use MS-DOS for printing. This is untrue. You should still
print from the Windows port, not LPTx.DOS.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, Farallon Technical Support suggests that you edit
the SYSTEM.INI file to remove PNTALK.DRV from the NETWORK.DRV line. This entry
should be blank as follows:

  Network.drv=

After making this change, you can still access the Phone Net PC network without
any problems.


MORE INFORMATION
================

Phone Net PC is not a supported network with Windows; Setup does not provide
this network option.
