First, thankyou for the reply: I found out that outgoing news was being bit bucketted until last Monday, and was wondering if my mail got out. It's nice to get responses occasionally. On with the problem. I'm talking to a Pyramid Un*x box. I know someone else who had problems with a small machine being 'overloaded' by the transfer rate that ccadfa uses. Ever since moving spool to Ram: I haven't had a problem (some out of sequence packets like this: Received sequence 7, expected 5 Received sequence 0, expected 5 Received sequence 1, expected 5 Received sequence 2, expected 5 Received sequence 3, expected 5 but no lost sessions). > Last night I copied one 40meg HD partition to a second partition on the > same drive while running UUCICO and downloading a news feed > to a different drive. Fair enough. :-(. I put a floppy in DF0: and I lost the connection to my host (at 9600) instantly. :-( :-( :-(. > and never dropped a bit.

Normally PerfMon shows no significant usage of the machine. > My spool file is on a hard disk, not ram. > Everything is I/O bound. Perhaps my 2090a controller is having problems with the GVP A3001. I have data and instruction caches turned on, and BURST mode enabled for the instruction cache - when I enable BURST mode for the data cache, my HD suddenly gets LOTS of read/write errors, so I normally leave it off. > I did not try it with a few compiles running, however... :-).
