- the modem. This usually applies to external modems; internal
- modems are always on.

- drive, path and filename, for WP.BAT:

- 5. Using a text editor change the following statements of the
- OS/2 CONFIG.SYS on the root directory.
-
- PRIORITY_DISK_IO = NO
- MAXWAIT = 1
-
- Save the changes and restart your system.
