-
- AmiTCP runs at priority 5, which is above the default scheduling range of
- Executive (i.e. Executive ignores it).
-
- I have no problems running AmiTCP3.0b with Executive, and I didn't do
- anything to Executive to achieve this. Your problem _could_ be that
- Executive is scheduling your slip/ppp driver, but these also tend to run at
- Pri 5.
-
- To find out what Executive is actually scheduling, type ps sched in a CLI.
-
- Hope this helps
