My Platform: 
        NEC 386/20  2Mb RAM
        Windows 3.0
        Racal Interlan 6510 Ethernet Adaptor
        FTP Software PC/TCP
                using Resident Module Version 2.03 pl 3
                Packet Driver Type 35
  
My Problem: 
  
The TCP resident module occupies approximately 83K of valuable memory that I require most of the time.  I can load the
module before I start Windows.  This works and I can swap windows, but I do not have enough memory to do anything usefu
l.  I would therefore like to load and unload the module as it is required.  I have written a batch file to load the mo
dule, open a command shell and then on exit from the shell remove the module.
This process works correctly and all communications occur as they should.  The problem occurs when I attempt to swap to
 another window with the module loaded.  The system hangs.  I have tried all possible combinations of PIF settings in a
n attempt to stop this occuring.  These efforts have proved fruitless so far.
Has anyone got any ideas?? If not I would love an explanation just for my enlightenment...
