(Since I'm behind answering, you get two replies...)
I had the impression that core.exe just wouldn't load after loading epppd.
I was wrong there.
In fact I'm more or less clueless.
Drive compression may be a problem, since disk space may be incorrectly
calculated, especially if you keep compressed files (archives) on a
compressed volume. That would, however, definitely affect any other attempt
to write to this volume.
There might be a problem with the phone line, but that would usually depend
on the time of day.
What if you exit arachne and try to log in with telnet.exe manually?
