[comp.windows.ms] Strange behaviour in 386 enhanced mode...

Howdy

We are having a strange encounter with an application on an AST 386sx.  It 
is a local application that establishes a SLIP link to send and get email.
This application works properly on another AST 386sx machine, and a Zenith 
Z300 (both under windows, running full screen).

On the problem  machine, the application has communication problems when 
running full screen; It times out when it attempts to open a connection through
its link.  However, if the application is run in a window, it works properly.
It is able to connect and run without a problem.  The app is run with a PIF
that has reasonable options (Text mode, exclusive, no HMA). 

I read through the manual (OK, I admitted it) and was unable to find any clues.
Any of you kind souls have any ideas why an application would not run full 
screen and run properly in a window ?

Please mail or post as appropriate.  Muchos thanks in advance.

Kelly
