Please post...I can't e-mail yet!

1)	I'm using MSKermit 3.01 in a Win3 window in 386enhanced mode
on a 386-20 w/ 5Mb using the .PIF settings shown below.  Anyone got
any better suggestions?

Program Item Properties:
	Command Line:  C:\WINDOWS\KERMIT.PIF

KERMIT.PIF
	Program Filename:    C:\MODEM\KERMIT\KERMIT.EXE
	no optional parameters
	Start-up Directory:  C:\MODEM\KERMIT
	memory requirements: 200 required 220 desired
	display usage: "x" windowed
	execution:     "x" background
	            no "x" exclusive
	"x" close window on exit

	ADVANCED SCREEN
	Background priority 50
	Foreground priority 100
	"x" detect idle time
	EMS Memory: 0 required 1024 limit
	XMS Memory: 0 required 1024 limit
	"x" uses high memory area
	Video Memory: "x" Text
	Monitor Ports: no "x"s
	"x" emulate text mode
	"x" allow fast paste


2)	Kermit 3.01 starts a download with 2000 byte packets for the
first couple of data xfers (large .gif's), then the packet size drops
into the low hundreds for the remainder of the xfer.  (Using a
USRobotics Courier 2400 external.)  No errors are listed on the
download display.  So, why?  Why doesn't it stick to the large packet
size?

3)	I suggested this before...wish someone would start collecting
.PIF's for various programs into a FAQ (frequently asked question?)
type anthology.  I'd volunteer to moderate, but I can't e-mail in
either direction -- company policy, I think.  Like, I have .PIF's to
run a DOS shell in a window as well as full screen, thanx to someone
on Prodigy.  Stuff like that is handy.
