ML>  Hello All!

 ML>  When a user uploads a reply packet to the offline 
 ML> reader (when logged in via
 ML>  telnet via VModem) it takes Unzip (OS/2) or Maximus/2 
 ML> almost exactly 1 minute
 ML>  to process the packet before the Maximus/2 menu returns to the screen.
 ML>  However if a user is connected via dialup, it only takes a few seconds.

 ML>  Any ideas?

I haven't tested timing, but I suspect it is related to how TCP/IP is
trying to merge characters into a single packet.  Serial ports were
designed for a character at a time.  TCP/IP has a minimum packet size that
is a bit larger....  But 1 minute vs a few seconds shouldn't be a
difference from that....  Hmmmm....  

Interesting....  Care to see what my telnet stuff is doing for timing?  [
telnet://tophat.darktech.org , running Bink/Max under OS/2 using VModem.]

 ML>  Here's my compress.cfg (Only 1 archiver defined in it):

 ML>  See anything wrong with that?  Any help would be appreciated!
