2 weeks ago I reported that I was having GURU trouble with VT100 2.8
and my Avatec modem.  Can anyone help??

Every time I run VT100 v2.8 with my new Avatec modem, I get a GURU
when I exit.  The GURU *wipes out* my VD0: ramdisk.  The GURU numbers
vary greatly.  Here are the last 4 I received:

		00000008.0021C3D8
		00000004.0022CB68
		0000000B.0022CD88
		00000003.00206250

I've been using VT100 and VD0: for over a year with no problems.
My configuration is:

		A1000 with 512K + external drive
		2 meg Starboard II memory expansion
		C. Ltd. 50 meg hard drive + SCSI interface
		Avatec 2400 modem
		Serial A-B-C switch box between modem and A1000

I never have a VD0: of more than 1 meg, and I am never close to
running out of memory.

I used to run DMouse v1.06 and ConMan v1.1 in the background, but
I have taken them out.  I still get GURU's.  I am using ARP commands.
Here's typical scenario:

	Warm boot.
	startup-sequence:
		ClearSCSI (clears scsi port for C.Ltd. drive).
		if VD0:c does not exist, makedir it.
		path add (various directories)
		Prompt "%n %p"	(ARP path command)
		Version
		Mount Pipe:	(Dillon PIPE: device)
		Stack 10000
		Various "set"s and "assign"s.
	run vt100	(or just "vt100")
	have a terminal session
	exit vt100 & turn off modem (either one first)
	type a few random CLI commands
	GURU
	
Can anybody suggest something helpful?  I am at a total loss.
