I had some issues with winsock under win98, but I think these are sorted.
The app order doesn't matter, but if the hub launches after some of the
other app's
It may be at least 5 minutes before things come to life (the heartbeat
interval)?

Also having no network while they are running could well effect them.
Havent
tried this.
Do you have the loopback adapter installed, this should solve any problems
in this area.

If you watch the meteor app lower window, and take the phone off hook, you
should see a message
Of call type outbound displayed. As you press keys you should see the
digits
being sent as well.
If this isnt happening, I should think it's a hardware problem.
I could never get my meteor to work on my multi-port board, but then when I
changed the server it wouldn't work on any port at all. I had to send it to
crucible for a repair. However, as yours is working for incoming it's
probably not that.
Are you sure its not an early unit?

I have had issues with dect phones, my standard base unit won't function
with it, but my answer phone base unit does. Don't understand why this is
though.
