I've had it going (on and off) for the last day also, and I also have the sense (not quantified or rigorously tested) that it has finally stopped all the billions of stalls I'd been getting. I use a reasonably fast "modem", i.e., a data-over-voice ISDN channel that talks through a high-speed serial port at 56K. It may be that my previous stall problems were actually exaccerbated by using a higher-speed serial line (i.e., I must have been offering relatively more interrupts to the CPU than someone with a slower modem). So I _really_ appreciate finding out about this utility. THANKS!!!!! Susan Kleinmann
