Sergio,

It wasn't I who talked about setting buffers. BUT if you can run your telecom program out of a RAM disk. If the cache were also in that RAM disk, it should fly like an eagle, but I am not sure that the cache could be in there. Still, it would speed up things just to have the program there. I'll try testing that tonight.

There are negatives in running out of a RAM disk, such as potential loss of the RAM disk data in a crash. There probably isn't any data needed to be saved, however, so this might be viable.

RAM disks aside, you probably got bogged down because of a problem with the program's (IE or Netscape's) cache and library file. Try trashing both. Let me know how that works; if it doesn't solve the problem, I'll do some more trouble-shooting.

If you're running NetScape or IE, there's a way to trash these things in their preferences -- look for the preferences Edit Menu. But you can also trash them in the Finder on a Mac (they're in a folder in the Prefs Folder in the System Folder) and you an also trash them similarly via Windows' desktop.

Report back on progress.

Linda
