Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Kyle,
    Even with the P100, I think you'll find that the 8megs is not
going to be enough to give you the speed you would expect. For
optimal Win95 operations, especially when multi-tasking comm
apps, you need at least 12megs to 16megs of ram, depending on the
applications you use.  With 8 megs, you'll be hitting virtual
memory on disk all the time, which can adversely affect file
transfers.
    I don't know what you mean by it being slower than your modem.
You need to get TMW110 if you haven't already.  Winfred still
hasn't gotten the screen writes optimized fully yet, but people
have stated satisfaction with that version.
hope that helps

user: You are replying to All about "Download Problems".

Write your reply.

assistant: As I mentioned in a previous post in this echo, I've been having some
problems with Telemate not downloading properly.  When I would use
Zmodem or Ymodem-G, it would invariably give me a download error at
precisely 24,756 bytes every time.  I have version 4.21, and I'm fairly
sure that it's configured properly.  I also have 2400 baud modem, and
I'm running under MS-DOS v4.01 (for what that's worth.) There's plenty
of room onn my hard drive.
Now -- to get on with this -- I did a little experimentation to try to
figure out why it didn't work.  I think I've tracked down part of the
problem.  It seems that these errors are limited to BBSs that use
Wildcat.  The two that give me these problems are versions 4.10 and
4.12.  The problem doesn't happen on Maximus or KBBS based boards.
If there's a work-around for this, I'd love to hear it.  Thanks.

 You could try copying your tm.use file to the directory you want
it to be in (c:\tm\log\ ) then from the main TM screen select Options
Directory Log and type in your path of c:\tm\log. From Options General
Log place an X against useage log. From Options select Save options.
That should do the trick.
