Maybe you're not holding your mouth right Bob?

I'm  running  the  combination on a 75MHz Pentium with 16meg RAM, have been
for  about  six  months now, prior to that it ran on a 486dx2X66 with 12meg
RAM. In that time I've had no lockups at all!

Here's a copy of my BAT file;

ECHO OFF
C:
CD \FLEX
LH FLEXNET 20
if errorlevel 1 goto end
LH SER12 3 /i=5
if errorlevel 1 goto error
LH FLEX
FSET mode 0 1200
FSET txd  0 40
FSET digi ZL2VAL-1
LH TFEMU -B36000
CD\
CD \TSTHOST
SHROOM -Q TSTHOST /T /I253
CD \
CD \FLEX
:end
:error
FLEX /u

AS  you  can see, I run it on COMPORT 3 with IRQ 5. When it was first given
me, I got it running in about 5 minutes flat and it's never missed a beat.

File downloads under TFPCX ran at 70 cps, TFX_UART 90 cps and Flex 102 cps.
I  find  that it out performs both of the other drivers when the going gets
tough,  into  a  distant  Data  repeater,  if there's a bit of noise on the
signal, FlexNet delivers the goods.
My only wish, for FlexNet, is that it can be made to work with Windows like
BPQ. Then I could use it with UI-VIEW for APRS.

Cheers for now,
