- Try TE/2, the OS/2 comms program. It isn't as sophisticated as telemate, but
- you won't have this problem, either, as native OS/2 apps are much more
- efficient in the way they perform serial I/O. DOS is a real hog and OS/2
- genrally copes with it's outrageuos resource requirements pretty well. On a
- 386DX/40, you won't have any trouble either.
