DV revectors the IRQ and manages the hardware What I want to know is what happens if you try to share ( and how do you share IRQs .. hear it is done under DOS ) does DV know to handle the say WAFFLE which is FOSSIL-wise and suppose ka9q tcp/ip using COMM3 or COMM4 for ka9q's radio modem, which ka9q seems not to be FOSSIL smart. Has anyone an idea if I can throw enough RAM ( without unix ) to handle this bizarre a configuration. Any tips will be appreciated. /Ev/ -- + efb@suned1.nswses.Navy.MIL efb@gcpacix.uucp efb@gcpacix.cotdazr.org + + efb@nosc.mil WA6CRE Gold Coast Sun Users Vta-SB-SLO DECUS gnu + + Opinions, MINE, NOT Uncle Sam_s | b-news postmaster xntp dns WAFFLE +
