assistant: I have a 486 (slc/dlc?) and a math co processor IBM Blue Lightening

I just installed realaudio 3 under winos2.  When I try to play the welcome
file
I get errror 88 - my  machine doesn't have enough power, try setting the
bandwidth
to a smaller value.
        How do I do that?  I haven't heard anything back from RealAudio.
Not sure if I will since I'm using that dreaded OS/2.  :)
        I tried changing the connection info (even though I was off line)
and the performance setting.  Neither helped.
        Has anyone seen this problem?  Is it my hardware or a conflict w/
WinOS2?
        Thanks in advance,

Write your reply.

assistant: I never had that error(i don't think) but I did have trouble getting real
audio to work on my machine.
1) set win-os2 to enhanced mode
2) make sure the win-os2 session has enough ems/xms space
3) expect errors and poor responses from Real Audio program and support.
4) do not use the suggested RAGO.CMD file. it doesn't work.
You have to close down real audio after each file or it locks up everything.
I am using a SB16 PNP using the drivers from OS/2. The SB drivers from SB
totally messed up my system.
I assume you connect with a 28.8K or 33.6K modem....

LNM doesn't seem to have installed correctly?  If I double click on the

anything...
Also, if I want to use the POP3 / SMNP daemon as a mail location, do I need
to install LOTUS Mail Server?  Just the client?  The lotus documentation
doesn't really say *WHAT* LNM does, just that it's LNM....So I'm not sure if
I'm trying to do something majorly overkill.

with. The Windows version had an entry for bookmark in its INI file, but
it doesn't look like the OS/2 version does. There's a commandline
parameter to point at a different INI file and I'd thought to use that,
but the OS/2 version is apparently hardcoded to load bookmark.htm in its
home directory and doesn't have an INI entry.
