[net.micro.pc] Crosstalk timing woes

Since moving to an AT, my version of Crosstalk (XVI 3.2) no longer dials up
remote computers.  It counts down from 30 much faster than on the PC.  I take
it that the faster clock rate is confusing Crosstalk.  Any ideas on how to
slow down Crosstalk, or failing that, to allocate a longer count before
Crosstalk gives up and hangs up the line (usually it drops the line just as
the remote computer answers).

If you look at the last line in the .XTK files that XTALK creates
when you go through the "NEWUSER" procedure, it looks something like:
   GO q45/45

That tells XTALK to dial the number repetitively at 45 second intervals
until it connects, and to wait 45 seconds for a connection each time it
makes a call.  To length the amount of time it waits for the connection,
just change the second number in the GO statement in the appropriate
.XTK files (or add one if none is present).

Check with Microstuf -- I believe there is an update (possibly free) that
makes Crosstalk behave better with the increased speed of the AT.
