 (with regard to Moire stopping downloads)
  This was on a 2 MB 512KE, running 6.0.3. I was using VersaTerm under MF,
doing both standard MacBinary downloads from a local BBS as well as Kermit
via dialup to a Unix host. To be fair, I had Moire configured for the "Dyson's
Folly" pattern, and didn't try any of the others to see if there was a
difference.

  That might be part of the reason--I suspect Dyson's Folly is taking a lot
more horsepower to generate.  On the '030, if I recall correctly, even Red
Ryder 10.3 was able to maintain download speed.  My SE did suffer some, as I
recall.  SO this may be a matter of the horsepower available for the .Moire
driver to use.

   BTW, I've never been able to get an E-mail through to you from this
location, so let me say publicly that you've written some GREAT cdevs. 
Thanks.
