	???  going from one wait state to zero solved the problem ???
	i was trying on a system with 10 MHz, 1 wait, 120 ns chips.
	there was never a problem running dos or concurrent dos with
	this setup...  so i believe the memory system was ok...

	for now, i have given up on this project (uucp->fax with xenix).
	apparently, my clone motherboard is the source of the problems.
	i can't bring myself to by another 286 computer or motherboard,
	the processor is just too stupid and i don't have the cash.
	for now i'll try to set something up with UUPC and dos fax 
	software/hardware instead.
