I got rid of that RAGO.CMD and just told Netscape to run RAPLAYER.EXE with
the %S perameter.  I found I have to close RA before trying another site to
listen to or produces an error window and closes netscape.
OS/2 apparently detects a windows program and starts is appropriatly.
My first test was with the Art Bell Show.  the audio was ok and interupted
a bit with interesting phase-shifting, but quite understandable.  Perhaps
off-peak time would present better results. B-)

Hi Rob!
I appreciate your help.  There are only 2 problems:  I cannot find a mixer
program either in Win-OS/2 or in the disks that came with my SB16.  I went to
their website to see if there was a mixer there.  No joy there either.
Secondly, even without the mixer program it makes sense to me that there
ould
be a way of accessing the microphone from Win-OS/2 and that if Win-OS/2 is
shutting it off that could certainly explain the problem.  So I should be
able to use SB16SET to increase the microphone level.  Where did you get the
program?  Is it possible for you to email it to me using either MIME or
UUEncode?  I'm in a bit of  a hurry, because I very soon have to decide which
sound card to keep, and if I can get the SB16 working properly, I would
prefer to keep that one because of its better sound and upgrade capabilities.
Thanks for your help.

in particular the Print_Timeout settings to come up with an ideal #.
The default of 15 seconds of inactivity is insufficient to send multiple

I moved it arbitrarily up to 95 and got a single 17 page fax to send out, but
I did have to wait over 90 seconds after WP said the print job was sent.
Therefore, without a lot of trial and error of my own, if anyone else has
already taken their time, I would appreciate the results of your research.
