Hello Thomas,
Thank you for your message. My PCI modem is a real hardware modem, but
Arachne does not seem to like it. I made a mistake in my note. The modem I
am using is an ISA 56K modem with Arachne, and that works well. I read some
of the notes. I now have Arachne running on a ramdisk. I built a couple of
batch files to unzip the files on the ramdrive, and another to zip them up
after I finish using the program. It is all quite fast, but no faster than
the connect. I'm having fun with dos, and brushing up on my dos skills.
My very best,
Bob
