Help!

I have recently entered the windows Internet interface, I particularly enjoy
the International Go Server, with mouse driven play but I keep getting Stacks
overflow, system halted upon exit from working sesion to dos from WIndows
3.1

I'm slipping into Utexas using  dialup on the modem, loading the winpkt at
boot and going to windows then using tcpman and winsock to Mosaic.

I'm using
dos6, emm386, stacks=9,256 ( have tried stacks=0,0 no halt on exit to dos but
tcpman doesn't load, tried no stacks and nothing worked, tried stacks=9,512
but it still crashed on exit).

I very much enjoy this graphical interface but having to reboot to hangup the
slip connection is, how shall I say, disturbing!

If you know how I can avoid this problem or need more information to help me
please e-mail me soon!

Thank you much

I am getting transfer rates similar to Zmodem - ~1500-1600cps on binary files
at 14,400 bps. I am using the Distinct TCP/IP runtime, which does NOT have
a replacement comm driver. My modem is an Intel 400, which is a 16450
emulation with a large buffer.

There is already 16550 code in the Windows comm driver: you just have to
turn it on.  (I don't know how off the top of my head, since I don't use a
16550...)

Oops, I said that I didn't know how to turn on the 16550 support built-in to
Windows. Now I do!  It's right there in sysini.wri, too... (search for "16550")

In the [386enh] section of system.ini, add a line:

  COMxFIFO=TRUE

where 'x' is the comm port #.

This is ignored if the port does not have a 16550, so it is supposed to be
safe to just set this anyway and forget it.

Oops!  elf.com has WinTalk.

ws_gmail is akin to ws_ftp, etc.  Try one of the Win3 sites,
eg ftp.cica.indiana.edu:/pub/ps/win3 (I think)
