- I think your problem *MIGHT* be that your computer to modem speed is set too
- slow and your buffer is bottoming out on you. If you've got this set at
- anything lower than 38400 (for a 14.4k modem), you should try raising it.

- I have this problem too, but it informs me in the bottom status line that
- "Only 19 of the 99 requested scrollback pages could be allocated". I've got
- 8 megs RAM, I'm not sure why it won't use any more of it. I tried changing
- the PIF settings but to no avail.

- If you don't have "AT&C1" in your modem init string, that would cause this.
- But...if it is only for one system, that is pretty strange.
