- Get the program called BOOB, It converts DV sleep calls to os2 sleep
- calls, This will solve tons of problems running dos apps. Also get a program
- call sio.sys and vsio.sys, there 3rd party com drivers that you use instead of
- the com.sys and vcom.sys. When I use boob, I can run my bbs in the background
- and run anything else just fine, the cpu load is only about 20% with boob
- installed. Works great with qmodem-pro
- BtW the sio.sys allows your dos coms apps to see the 16550afn if you have one.
