DMM> > DMM> Does anyone know how to get OS/2 Warp to read and access expanded DMM> > DMM> memory. It is only taking advantage of the 4 meg of onboard memory DMM>It's doing it in all my dos session, yes virtual memory, Open the settings for your dos session and you can set EMS, XMS and DPMI memory to however much you want. DMM>but another problem. System shouldn't be locking up the DMM>way it is when both nodes start downloading at same time. Check that your two COM ports are using IRQ's of their own, that you aren't trying to share them with sound cards, net cards - what have you. Also, if the connects are >2400 baud, make sure you have 16550 UARTs in the serial ports, the old unbuffered 8250's can't keep up. DMM>It never did it before until I went to OS/2 warp. Another, DMM>how do you get OS/2 Warp to report the correct amount of DMM>memory? What were you using before? What do you mean the correct amount of memory? OS/2's free memory is the amount of system ram + the amount of free space on your swap drive less about 2M for the kernel, 1M for every DOS session and 2M for every windows session. Seems to me there is a system reporting and diagnostic tool included with warp that should tell you what you want to know, although I don't know how useful you'll find that information in a virtual memory system. If OS/2 needs more memory, it swaps stuff and voila, it has more memory! Rob. ___ X SLMR 2.1a X It isn't pretty being easy. --- Maximus/2 2.01wb* Origin: The Idle Task... (604)275-0835 Richmond BC.
