Do you have any TSRs loaded, that might be grabbing a slice of CPU time
every now and then?  Screen savers, scheduling programs, FAX or other TSR
comm software (like PC-Anywhere), etc. _may_ do this (many don't).
Are you running under Desqview, or using a multitasking DOS shell like
Windows?  You should be able to optimize DV to work, but I'm less
confident about Windoze.
Are your phone lines really noisy?
At what point do the transfers fail?  Same # of bytes every time?  Same
amount of real time (i.e. hh:mm:ss) into the transfer each time?  Or is it
random?  The answers to these questions should at least begin to provide
some clues.  Hope this helps.
