Funny this should come up at the moment, because I noticed that
Telemate became rather slower at showing the connect string when I
enabled the extended response strings on the Sportster.

Then Paul informed me that OS/2SPEED doesn't work unless the IDLE
SENSITIVITY was set to 1, so I did that, and Telemate has becaome
almost unbearably sluggish.  Me thinks whatshisname was a little
overzealoused in his implementation of DV time-slice release calls...
Do DV apps usually become _very_ sluggish when run under DV?  Surely
he'd know at what places in the program it's logical to make calls
like that?  It doesn't interfere with downloads, but mainly while
dialling, and the interpretation of result codes like BUSY or
connects.  Often the modem will detect busy, hang up, send the code,
and Telemate will still just sit there until it finally notices the
busy characters (often ten to thirty seconds!) or worse, until it
times out after the 60 seconds I set, not seeing them at all...

'tnt, Anthony.
