Hello Ed;
Ok, I swung and missed on your 51 byte environment. <g>
Another reason for not being able to get on line, is you may not have
enough memory for the packet driver. You need about 70k free for that
after starting Arachne.
I notice in the above you have NOTHING loaded high.
I'm surprised you can even START Arachne.
Maybe DRDOS loads all that stuff high without any command required,
I wouldn't know - Glenn would.
I think that you should try three things.
First, type MEM /c > mem.log and post mem.log
Second, change Highbuffers to 15, change files to 30, change fcbs to 4,0,
change every device spec in config.sys (EXCEPT the first) to devicehigh,
change the c:\mscdex spec to LH c:\mscdex .... and add STACKS=0,0 to
config.sys. Those are things a non-DRDOS user would have to do.
Third, do #1 again with the new numbers.
