I am trying to evaluate QWS3270 and am having some problems.  If I try to
mail someone on my VM machine it works fine unless the users address is
longer than 26 characters.  If the email address is longer than 26 characters
then I get a "X SYS" error, I have to RESET, cursor to the beginning of the
line, forward delete the text, and press enter and then it will email that
person.  If the email address then I have no problems.  I am sure it is not
a problem with the VM machine because my old DOS client works fine.

I'm not using a combination anything like that, but the problem still
looks familiar.  I'm using Winsock, xwindemo with Ultrix, and a packet
driver.  At first, I found that clock would run and calc would hang.
Then, when I switched to using a "root" window, they both ran fine.
Did you try using a "root" window?
The only problem I still have is with some applications that take
about 1 minute to erase the screen!  They were written locally, so
I'll find out what they're doing; I suspect they're trying to copy
a blank bitmap to the screen.  It erases slowly from top to bottom.
Displaying text is also unusually slow.

p.s.; I am not the voice of experience. 24 hours ago I didn't have either
xwindemo or winsock.

What version of PC/TCP?  Some of my windows/related problems went away
with an upgrade a few years ago.  However, with the version I'm using now
(PC/TCP 2.05pl1, I don't know the idrive version) I have to unload idrive
*and* ethdrv in order to use winsock.  Thus, I had to install windows
on my system instead of on the network.

I don't ask for much; just a way to have NFS working in DOS so that
(among other things) Windows can be loaded from the network, the same
NFS drives available from within Windows, multiple telnet/ftp windows,
a few X applications going, and maybe IRC at the same time.  Is that
too much to ask?  Probably.  PC/TCP and winsock are different answers
to the networking question; they each have their limitations, and as far
as I know you can't mix-and-match.  Corrections are more than welcome.

Trumpet WORKS, you just have to do it right.  Delete/rename the
winsock.dll in \winnt\system32, and replace it witht the winsock.dll
that comes with trumpet.  After this, 16 bit winsock programs will run
with trumpet, but 32 bit (native WinNT) apps won't.

We had this problem for a long, long time.  It was solved by an updated
PC/TCP winsock.dll.  I can't comment on your other modem problem, since
we're using winvn over a dedicated 56KB connection.

Subject: Chameleon X Memory allocation

Often when I try to run Chameleon's X Server, it refuses to start and
tells me: "Error: unable to allocate 1,5xx,xx bytes for application."

This occurs even when I can see that I have over 5 megs of free memory.
I have 8M of RAM and I use only a 2M permanent swapfile.
