<smkl> well, i don't know anything about OS implementation ....
<smkl> do you mean saving on task switch or something?
<smkl> is there something stopping a program using them for something else but addressing?
<eihrul> Fare: there?
<eihrul> smkl: well, they're more artifacts of the x86 architecture than anything useful :)
<smkl> only useful for running DOS

<Downix> gnn
<Downix> gmm
<Downix> hmm
<Downix> I have no clue
<Tril> what doom client
<Downix> I do 4-player Quake 2 on my Amiga
<liar> we replaced the cable, the hub and we tried to see if 1 or 2 machines had a problem by not using them
<liar> Tril: dos
<Tril> what OS
<liar> win98
<Tril> use windoom
<liar> but its not the game
<liar> cuz we tried doom2, duke3d, and halflife
<Downix> how much RAM?
<Tril> you're using 10bT?
04:00pm
<Tril> well, if the computer hardware, the networking hardware, and the game soft are not hte problem, there is only one option left, WIN 98
<Tril> Replace that.
<Tril> or just reconfigure the Network control panel..
<Tril> you tried TCP/IP and IPX? Copying a file? 
<liar> 64-128meg ram, 10baseT, they only have ipx, and they work fine in network neighborhood. the problem is when u have 3-4 of them going at once in games
<liar> 2 2player games seemed ok
<Tril> sound like crappy network cards
