 DC> That sounds like what is happening.  
 
Are you downloading large enough packets where you really need the 
386 version of BlueWave? 

Is there a version of the switching program that will grab protected 
mode RAM, above the 1meg boundry, and use it to switch programs like 
BW/386 and the big DOS games.
