Can anyone tell me why, on a 24MB 3/260, a large program would only get
about 12MB of memory, when nothing else but unix is running (essentially.
By unix I mean all the daemons, too).  Is there a way to make the thing
get more of the available memory before it starts paging (and subsequently
swamping the network)?

Thanks,
