slkh
The black colour 56 kbps modem from USR has some heat dissipation problem. The speed get slower and slower when the heat built up. While if you disconnect and leave it for five minutes you will get a fast connection again.

NT Compatible IRC #

Palos
Since this is the forum with the most reads, i thought about posting here! I noticed someone asking if there is an IRC channel for this board. . . well, there is one on Undernet, #NTCompatible. There are complaints that it's a very quiet channel, but I didn't see it advertised ANYWHERE myself.

Anyway to lower the overhead Win2k imposes?

pr-man
What I mean is that I dont have the fastest system by any means but I feel that Win2k is a little to sluggish for what im running it with. I have tweaked all I know how to tweak and set to manual the services I have read can be setthat way.

Wadsy
OK, I have sorted out the problem with the IRQ Steerin, thank GOD, but my MX300 still cuts out after a few seconds. Does anybody know why? I have the new BETA Aureal Drivers, and still the Damn thing refuses to function correctly.
