I run ZOC on a 486DX-33 with 8 megs of RAM, and can download at about 
1600 CPS with about a 20-25% CPU load, with NO errors.  The LEDs at the 
bottom of ZOC's window will increase the CPU load, but not the errors. 
Your article did not mention if you have a 16550 UART on your modem port, 
maybe that is what is making such a big difference between our two 
perfomance levels with ZOC.  I think ZOC is a great program, and hope you 
can find  the tweaks that will make it work for you.
