Dear colleagues: 3 subjects in one message to cut down on bandwidth
wasted on the headers...

1. FACScan CD

In October'94, I saw demo'd a FACScan training CD Rom for Macintosh
developed by B_D and was most impressed. I have been attempting to
buy one ever since without success. Are they as rare in the US as
they are in Australia? Are they being marketed separately or just
distributed with new systems? Do many of you out there have them?

2. FACSnet

We have a really annoying problem using B_D's FACSnet over a busy
network. If FACSnet fails to make a connection to the requested node
on the first attempt, it sits and sulks forever; the hp340 needs then
to be re-booted. When it does make a connection, there is no further
problem; file transfers proceed correctly. (At the same time, our
hp310, on a second FACScan 6 feet up the ethernet and running FUSION
software, on which FACSnet was based, has no difficulty making a
similar connection). Has anyone (i) experienced this problem? or
better (ii) found any user-re-settable parameter/s in the .db files or
elsewhere that might correct it?

*Any* advice on either subject would be much appreciated. However,..

3. Bandwidth

*Many* items posted to this list are of interest only to a minority
(or to no-one at all), my above questions included. On the other
hand, the subject of NIH funding would have to be of interest to the
*vast majority* working in cytometry research *internationally*. Were
you really serious Nigel??
