JA> You really need more RAM, for one...also, you DO know
Hehehe, just got a strip of 32MB SDRAM from my friend for testing purpose
on my OS/2 machine... running 64MB at 32MB SDRAM and 32MB FPRAM (lousy
things!)... It is amazing... my computer runs quite a bit more efficiently
when I load it up with apps and utils (usually about 15 at once... :) )
Now, if I can only lenghten the testing period so that I can kept using
thing thingy until I have the money to get another 128MB of RAM... :)
JA> enough to disable call-waiting, right? No offense meant,
JA> but not everyone knows to do this. However, it sounds more
In Vancouver BC, the BCTel set the code to #70 for the call waiting
disabling... when you are dialing, use this code sequence for easier
dialing...
ATDT#70W123-4567
The "W" code in there told my Courier to wait for the tone to come back
on before dialing again, and you should check your white pages (or whatever
page that comes from the local teleco :) ) and use the code that they
indicated there...
JA> like you may have something corrupted in both your web
JA> browsers or maybe you do have a bad controller...just too
JA> many thing it could be. I'd say take it to your favorite
JA> tech and tell them what you told us.
Some tech will test the thingy and say "absolutely" no problems, while
the have absolutely no idea about what exactly to test, or how to find
and test the problem, even with full instructions... (Warngin, some
tech are rebadged salesman, do not, repeat, do not use their advice! :)
I had to reinstall and reset a few cards in a computer where the tech
told the owner "DELTREE ULTRASND" and whole bunch others... cause the
CD and sound card to stop working REAL QUICKLY...)
If anyone see those kind of techs, please, do the world a favour...
make sure that they are not helping people to make their problem worse!
