Dear Dev,
Part 1
MSMOUSE was evidently the culprit in preventing loading it high.
CTMOUSEP did the trick as the data below demonstrates. you will see that
I have also reinserted two other drivers without penalty. My profound
thanks to you.
You asked:
"What are your hard disk partitions?"
Answer: None. At 120 mB and DBLSPACEd I have little need of partitions,
unless I am missing something useful here. I would be interested in your
comments. Messing about with partitions raises spectres in my mind of
lost data .
You asked:
"Why is there a E: drive on the SMARTDRV line?"
Answer: (From on-line HELP) "SMARTDRV does not actually cache compressed
drives; instead, it caches the physical (host) drive [in my case E:] on
which the compressed volume file is located. This improves the speed of
both the physical drive and the compressed drive."
Part 2
Now let's try loading EPPPD high too!
You said March 21:
"After optimising your memory to get a 69K free UMB block,
(For PCDOS/MSDOS type mem/c/p to check), here is what to do
to load epppd high when online with Arachne.
1) In ARACHNE.CFG, look for this line
Connection @epppd.exe>>PPP.LOG
and change it to
Connection @lh epppd.exe>>PPP.LOG
2) Loading EPPPD high worked for me when I have BOOTP enabled
and show terminal screen disabled.
Go to PPP options (accessible from your dialer page)
and uncheck 'show terminal screen'
Select 'external dialer setup screen'and under IP address,
select the 'Try to use BOOTP' option"
Option 1) alone does not work for me, so I must somehow
include Option 2). Your instructions should translate into amendments to
ARACHNE.CFG. Could you specify them for me?
