Follow-up...
This is probably futile because my contract is up soon but...(it's a matter of principle)

1. How do you turn write cache off? I only see Write back or write thru as an option.
2. Is there any written documentation on how to propoerly use fox tables and RAID?
3. Is it fair to say that one of the basic limitations of foxpro and cached processing is that foxpro issues large packets and does not multi-thread so therefore a single misdirected packet will result in poor performance and file read errors? (I know that's very simplistic, I'm trying not to be verbose...and failing miserably)
4. I would love any suggestions to help clarify the do's and don'ts of foxpro on an IP network.

TIA....again.
