-
- AmiTCP's tasks that do serial transfer should have priority 4 or 5,
- in which case they are not scheduled by Executive.
-
- Don't use IGNORE, use NOSCHEDULE. The IGNORE-option doesn't even
- work for CLI commands, it only works for task names and it's
- only needed to get SAS/C's CPR-debugger to work correctly.
-
- If you start Executive with SCHEDULER=NONE option, and AmiTCP
- doesn't work, then it's a timer problem:
-
- If you have a slow machine and a fast modem, make sure you're using
- the CIA-A timer, not CIA-B or timer.device, because CIA-B will cause
- errors in serial transfer (this has absolutely nothing to do with
- Executive).
-
- Otherwise please remove the AmiTCP IGNORE- and NOSCHEDULE-commands
- from Executive preferences, start Executive and AmiTCP and email me
- the output of Ps, Stat and Pstree clients.
