Greetings.. All,
04-Feb-97 17:50:18, Quoting Barry Adams's message to Vincent Danen
    topic of discussion was.. Re: Pine !
Did you ever find what was causing the "SIGSEGV" error message?
I'm running PINE 3.95 OS/2 version.. using two different POP/3 servers
and was able.. (in the beginning).. to access my INBOX on both accts. and
read/post to my newsgroups. PINE then started closing my INBOX with the
message saying there was an access error.. it would after a period of time..
kick me out of pine. Now it happens immediately upon start-up.. if I'm
connected to my ISP.. the following is the message error:
"Process Terminated by SIGSEGV"
"SYS1808: The Process has stopped. The Software diagnostic code -
(exception code) is 0005"
Please let me know if you, or anyone else out there, has any ideas or
suggestions on what is causing this.. and how can it be solved.
FYI.. I'm using Warp version-# 3.00 (Red Spine) - latest PPP/IAK -
no FixPacks - "IDENT" is running -  my sys: 486dx2/66 -
Thanks..!

assistant: Dave Warren was bubbling to All :
Your SIO statement in CONFIG.SYS should look like this :
DEVICE=C:\SIO\SIO.SYS (COM2:115200,,,-) (com4,internet)
You must have a '-' sign as a fourth parameter to pass hot com port to DOS
session. Also take note that OS/2 operates with com handles, and DOS operated
with com ports, so it probabla will hapen that Maximus passes com handle 5
for com port 2, and your DOS door will tell that COM5 does not exist. This
must be configured well in DOOR.SYS file.

i'm now using one of those beasts here on my system. I'm using os/2 v4 and
just did a selective install and then chose the cdrom (there was no cd in

the os found the changer and went through the disk's looking at them.
I had a look at my config.sys file and the only change was the addition of

Has anybody found a solution to running DOS doors under Maximus3.01/32? I'm
using WinNT.
Also, can I use the MAX.EXE and MAXN.EXE interchangably?  What I mean is I
un
both WinNT 4.0 and DOS 6.22, and I'm wondering if run MAX.EXE under DOS and
MAXN.EXE under WinNT will I have any problems caused by this?
BTW, I see two problems right away..
 i) DOS based doors
ii) MEX files over the limit under DOS but not WinNT.
I'm not worried about the second one, and I'm working on the first one..
I realize this message is somewhat off topic, but it is the most on topic

assistant: Hallo Kevin
 What you have to realize is that the server runs off the mother
board, not the cpu.
You need a 60MHZ mother board not a 300 MHZ chip, in your system
look at the Motherboard speed to get good performance.
Your 300mhz chip does all the screen writes and there is the problem.
your mother board still runs at the same speed.
Cheers Harry

assistant: Got any suggestions as to where it needs this tune up?  Netware monitor
screens don't seem to indicate the problem is on that end.  If I use
TimEd/2, it flies --- complete 1000+ area mailcheck in under 90 seconds.
It's Maximus' built in mail check that is slow.  Maximus/2 starts off
really fast, but after 200+ areas slows down; by the time it reaches
800+ it's crawling.   TimeEd/2 starts fast, stays fast and doesn't slow
down.
One difference between the two (I believe) is that TimEd/2 is not
opening up all the Squish files (four per message area), while Max/2
does.  Max/2 also has to monitor various pipes etc. for messages from
other nodes.
