This seems to be a common problem.  The first time I try to run Qmodem
under Windows, it comes up with the 'Insufficient Memory' error.  When I
immediately try it again (and all subsequent times), it runs fine.  What
gives?  I also get the occasional 'This app has violated system
integrity...' for no apparent reason.  Is Windows 3.0 really this buggy
or am I doing something wrong?

Maybe its time to switch to a decent shareware comm program for Windows
that isn't cripple-ware (are you listening, UniComm?  I refuse to pay
for a program this obnoxious, no matter how good it is).  Any
recommendations?
