I have two somewhat unrelated problems perhaps NetWisdom can solve....... 1) I have been trying to get Advanced Telnet (a product resold by Sun) that is supposed to permit multiple telnet sessions each running in their own window over Win3 and PCNFS 3.5. My problem has been that any terminal session started under windows will terminate abruptly, either blanking the screen and locking the PC or dissolving the telnet window. The machine is a ATT W6386 20Mhz with a 3C501 ether card. Sun thinks the answer is to put a new line in the system.ini file reading TimerCriticalSection=5000 They say this solved similar problems on their similar setups. In my case however, including any version of this line makes Advanced Telnet inaccessible from Windows and locks the PC (with the hourglass showing) up completely. Any suggestions? BTW, along the way I have tried swapping the interrupts between the mouse and ether cards (the 3C501 is now irq 5)... Sun thought this would help -- it didn't. 2) Only somewhat related is the memory management problems I am having since aquiring Adv-telnet. Since it is a TSR and is over 60K when first loaded, It has made it impossible to run MS Word from Windows (insufficient memory). Everyone told me to get QEMM to solve this problem. I did. The problem is that I can't get it to work right with PCNFS. I am told that QEMM should not be allowed to load the Socket driver high, but this is not all, apparently, since any attempt to optimize leads to a locked machine on reboot. Anyone have any experience with PCNFS, WIndows, ADvanced Telnet and QEMM (what a kludge!) ????? HELP? PS -- please don't tell me to call Microsoft or QuarterDeck, these people have yet to answer the phone in several days of trying... they are either busy, or they put me on hold indefinitely.... I am still trying -- james lee peterson petersja@CS.ColoState.edu dept. of computer science colorado state university "Some ignorance is invincible." ft. collins, colorado (voice:303/491-7137; fax:303/491-2293)
