I don't use Voyager as the modem is connected to the PC side of my tower.

I get the most crashes when trying to install things to my hard drive.
Luckily (so far) a reboot gets it all up and running again. I tried
installer NG but it made no difference, in fact it was worse so I went back
to the basic Amiga installer.

I've got Samba too and it's much quicker connecting than Siamese. Both
connect to the PC in the same time but switching to the PC and trying to
access the Amiga files takes way longer with Siamese! (As much as five
minutes!)

I'm using AGA on the Amiga, there's no room for a graphics card in an EZ/PC
tower except on the PC.

I can't use pagestream because I have a Lexmark Z11 connected to the PC and
I can only share the printer if I have a Lexmark driver for the Amiga! No
go!

I'd like to use both the PC and the Amiga equally for games and applications
but the PC has the better graphics and games. I had visions of using
personal paint on the PC's graphics card in wonderful colour via the Siamese
RTG, F1GP in glorious true colour! Ha Ha, as if! Siamese RTG simply doesn't
RTG!
When I connect via Siamese, go and make a coffee and come back, both
computers can finally 'see' each other. I select a Siamese RTG screen mode
and 'test' it. Switch to the PC and there's the star shaped 'test' screen.
Click on 'ok' and switch back to the Amiga. Select the Siamese screen mode
again and click 'use'. Lot's of windows opening and closing and up comes the
'press left button to reboot' screen!
