I think it's a good product generally, but I am experiencing problems with serial communications which you should be warned about. Simply put, don't expect to be able to run the usual terminal emulators or file transfer programs that you may be used to using in the MS-DOS environment. I don't think they'll work properly. Memory-wise, I don't know what to tell you. I've got 4MB, and I can run multiple MS-DOS sessions concurrently with no problems. I suspect this is a practical minimum for acceptable performance, but I have not done any exhaustive analyses, so don't take my word as gospel. -- Bill Michaelson, COS, Inc. \ "Better to keep your mouth shut, and let Voice 609-771-6705 / people think you're a fool, than to open rutgers!princeton!mccc!cosi!bill \ it..."
