Add two hard drive partitions, it will be enough to overload it...How about 38400? Does that work? Mostly the people I run into with problems have $5000 systems with hard drives, and mucho memory in which they can multi-task in..and then you get the argument "I can't multi-task while downloading! I spent $4000 and I can't use it if I use the modem?!" Why do you use ZModem? with a null modem cable thats short enough, you shouldn't have to worry about data loss.. Try using Y-Modem-G...if it bombs, then you can't claim you're not loosing data. >Dave Hopper |MUYOM!/// Anthro Creep | NeXT Campus Consultant at Stanford > | __ /// . . | Smackintosh/UNIX Consultant - AIR >bard@jessica. | \\\/// Ia!
