I've had it going (on and off) for the last day also, and I also have
the sense (not quantified or rigorously tested) that it has finally
stopped all the billions of stalls I'd been getting. I use a reasonably
fast "modem", i.e., a data-over-voice ISDN channel that talks through a
high-speed serial port at 56K. It may be that my previous stall problems
were actually exaccerbated by using a higher-speed serial line (i.e.,
I must have been offering relatively more interrupts to the CPU than someone
with a slower modem).
So I _really_ appreciate finding out about this utility. THANKS!!!!!
