- I've been using the 32 bit commpak.dll v1.91 with v1.20 TE/2 for
- over two weeks now and am having zero problems with it. I have
- daily comm sessions so it sees heavy use. In fact the new
- dll fixed a annoying problem we were having with TE/2 to TE/2 connects.
-
- With previous commpak.dll versions the zmodem engine would dork
- up with this type of connection. Packet lengths would drop from
- the standard 1k to 128byte lengths and thruput would suffer drastically.
-
- This no longer occurs with the latest commpak.dll.
-
- Sytstem here: NoName 486DX-33 ISA Bus , IDE HD, HPFS and FAT,
- Trident 8900C vid.
-
- OS2/ga -XR6055 SP installed. No other patches applied and
- using Joels' generic 800x600x16 vid drivers.
-
- Im using Te/2 on the FAT partition.
