I have been told that it's possible for the latest version to make use of extended or expanded memory to load into,thus freeing up all the main dos ram.. Is this true, and what are the requirements? Thanks a bunch. Len

The ISO (3.0 or better) Starlan client software will allow you to load most of the software in expanded memory (about 60k) with a small program stub in the 0-640K area. The buyback is about 60k in most cases. On the Plus, you'd need a special memory card that supports LIM to do this. Note that this doesn't buy you much on concurrent client servers, the entire server portion must be loaded into the area between 0 and 640k, which doesn't leave you much for MSDOS applications. -- Frank McGee, AT&T Tier 3 Indirect Channel Sales Support attmail!fmcgee
