PE> Hi Jason.  Just thought I'd let you know that I thought it was pretty

JM> IMHO you get much better performance from a genuine Pentium.

The Cyrix 100 is rated at P120+.  Are you talking about benchmark
performance or are you talking about the specific Voice application?

PE> P.S. Someone called me about the problem I raised, but they didn't

PE> back, which I did, but I didn't hear from them again.  Do you know
PE> what the answer is on the 14.4 meg FAT cache?  I'll have to see if
PE> the problem is in Warp 4.  I haven't installed it yet. 

JM> Problem was corrected with Fixpack 12.  You should have received a netmail 
JM> from me.

Yep, the day I sent the echomail!  Thanks + bye.  Paul.
