yes NVDI uses its own optimised blitting routines so it switchs it

use the default values of the supplied SCC.PRG (with the possible
exception of M1EMU with should be switched to "u" if you are using
buggy programs that dont like SCC). I dont know if nos falls into
the category or not so set that to "u" will not do any harm.

You shouldn't need Fpatch either BTW 

Then make sure that the order the auto folder reads

everything else.prg
drivin.prg
scc.prg

The only things that you should ever need to run after those are 
mintnp.prg (if you use it)

> My Demon connection with Nos is about 500 or less 

What setting have you got in your dial script ?? NOS is not able
to understand port speeds above 19200 iirc , you have to hack it
using 150 (for 57600).

also the Atari nos supplied dial script also sets $mtu and $mru
at 1500 , that is why there are loads of people using it getting
a major resend problem with NNTP . set both to 576 and you will
find that this will greatly improve that problem.


> Any help would be appreciated 

with a system like that the best thing to do is install Linux. A
far wider range of networking software available (that works !) and 
the only time you'll get 500 or less is if you have 3 or 4 other 
clients using the serial port at the same time :-)

of course if you are not interested in things like Mosaic , ftp 
clients with regex (i.e recontinue file transfer from where you left 
off after stopping .. whenever you want .. even from a differnt ftp
server) ,"industry standard" smtp and nntp clients and server software 
(i.e sendmail,smail,mmdf,INN,cnews,mh etc),Gopher, Archie and many 
other clients (and servers), of course also all at the same time, then 
stick with NOS :- ))
