Hey folks.  I recently upgraded my Mac SE to 2.5 megs.  I also added an 80
meg Ehman drive.  All is well except for one problem.  Smartcom II is 
behaving quite strangely.  FIrst, it isn't scrolling as it should.  When
a large screenful comes in, it scrolls in half-page jumps.  Now keep in
mind that I'm running Smartcom at 9600 or 19,200 baud usually, but even
when I had the SE with only one meg and a 20 meg hard drive, it never
failed to scroll line by line.

More distressing than that, however, is that the program now "unexpectedly"
quits (with a "1" or "2" in parens afterwards).  Once in a while, the whole
thing just crashes, complete with little horizontal lines all over the
screen, static from the speaker, and an eventually flickering display (you
know the crash I mean...everyone get 'em now and then).

Any idea what's going on??  I'm running under multifinder now, and I didn't
before.  But I don't think that has anything to do with it, as I run 
Smartcom on my Mac II with multifinder and have no troubles. 

Any thoughts, folks?
