PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME, mail me with any ideas!! please.
================================================

My Kali setup keeps hanging after anything from a few secs to a few
minutes, it seems especially related to sending data.. 

I'm using shareware versions of pppshare and kali at the moment
kali12k.. 

I'm sured I've turned off XON/XOFF and enabled Hardware handshaking
i.e. CTS/RTS..

I've got a 14,400 USR Robottics and a USR Worldport.. 

I boot into DOS6.2 and I've got 482k of conventional memory left..

I've tried to play around with net.cfg with out any success..
Help..

What gets me is that everything seems okay on a quite server I seem to
be able to talk forever with someone !!!!!




I'm nomally discussing the problem in kchat when it happens!!!
One thing I've noticed is that it's much more likely to happen when
I'm connected to @central or a server that's busy.. than one that's
not busy..

The other big indication that something's wrong is when I try a
performance test in pppmenu and it gets up to 12 or so and doesn't get
that many replies then every other test seems to give an error.
I hope someone can help me, I've tried everything I know


PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME, mail me with any ideas!! please..

	His problem might be the same as mine -- doing a clean boot, when
I installed PPPshare and Kali, I only had 330K of free base memory...
My problem couldn't be solved by removing drivers since they were all
necessary, but they could be moved high by installing emm386.exe with
the NOEMS switch... I know alot of people bitch about
incompatibilities between EMM and protected mode programs, but I've
never had a problem with it... Sometimes the only way to free more
base memory is to take more of it up... :)
