So, when I put a 230Mb SCSI on my GVP A3001 card, replacing one
of my two ST506 (2090a) hard drives, the problem will be history?
Well, I can hope. :-)

Disconcertinly, I lost information today even when using UUCICO
with UUSpool: assigned to RAM:Spool. Running PerfMon at the same
time, I found that with just PerfMon, a CLI, Workbench in the
background, I was using no measurable CPU, when I start UUCICO,
(talking 9600 via an ASDG dual serial board) I see an immediate
75% usage of the CPU. (30Mhz 68030/68882).

This can't be right! :-(. My session bombed out (twice), and I
had to go back to 2400. Perhaps it was line noise, who knows, but
it is very frustrating when the threat of network excommunication
lying over me if I don't use 9600!
