I have had a recuring problem with Windows 3.0 and Telix.
When telix connects, the computer locks up and even Ctrl-Alt-Del
will reset it.  It usually does it when I set it to dial and just let
the computer set.  As soon as it connects, the cursor sits right
after the dial timer countdown and it is locked.  If I give the computer
something else to do, however, like as litle as moving the mouse, or let
something else run in the foreground I don't seem to have the problem.

I am running a 386-25 with Windows 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode.

Also, sometimes Windows gets pretty slow with a lot of hard drive
activity.  Sometimes this happens with as little as Telix and Word
Perfect running at the same time.

I am wondering if something in the PIFS would cause this.
