I have the list of the settings from the old fullpack. His settings are for 16 megs of memory and I Believe a one line bbs. I have 4 nodes on a wildcat/os2 setup with 20 meg of ram and sio. I have absolutely no idea where to even begin with the settings. Do I take the total meg and divide it by 4 for the four nodes or allocate it to all of them. My fear is if I let say node1 have 2048 and I get a caller on node3 will node3 have the same performance or will it drag. Any help or suggestions would be greatly greatly greatly appreciated. Also is there a newer fullpack. The one I have part of is over three years old. Cyberly yours, Tammy ... SENILE.COM found . . .
