I need some help. I've been running Remote Access v1.11 on for about a year and I decided to expand. I picked up OS/2 and have been trying to run three nodes each in its own DOS session under OS/2. I'm using a 486-33 w/128k cache and a 200 meg drive. So far I have successfully gotten two of the nodes up (although for one reason or another one of them goes down on a daily basis and I've had no success in getting the third up at all due to problems with OS/2) but I've run into one big problem. My biggest problem is that when someone is uploading or downloading files on one node the other is as slow as molasses on a winter's day. I am running a utility that makes RA Desqview aware to allow timeslicing(?). Questions: 1) Any suggestion on how to get the three (or even two) nodes to work successfully under OS/2? (i.e. stop going down and pick up the speed) 2) Suggest an alternative multitasker (perhaps Desqview or Windows?). 3) Any suggestions at all? I'm at the end of my rope as the frustration is definitely getting to me (and besides, if I spend much more time on trying to get this to work I may soon be single again). Any help would be REALLY appreciated! --- þ DeLuxeý/386 1.12 #2814 þ Crystal Gryphon BBS 416-429-1991 for RPG support ® --- þ DeLuxeý/386 1.12 #2814 þ Crystal Gryphon BBS 416-429-1991 for RPG support -- Canada Remote Systems - Toronto, Ontario World's Largest PCBOARD System - 416-629-7000/629-7044
