This is also not impossible; I've notice no troubles from the Win95

Tried; didn't work.
Didn't think that was the trouble; I've been averaging between 1.6 and
2.7k/sec over my 28.8 link, so it's not a problem there.  It just keeps
going along at a pretty decent speed, and then <click>.
And I have to start all over again.

I hope that there's something easy here; I'd rather not have to (for the
third time) pull down a zillion files and transfer them, six at a time,
onto a zillion floppies, and sit at my computer switching floppies for
hours.  I did that with 2.1.6, and with 2.2.1; that was more than enough
for me.

Thanks,
