RE: IBM 5250 emulation boards and client acc

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually in a lot of cases I find the locks are the result of running
too many memory hogging programs with too little memory.  Win95 with
32MB doesn't cut it when the user has CA/400 open with a couple of
sessions, as well as Outlook, MSWord (a real pig), Excel etc.  (The
users usually report they can hear the disk drive going crazy - swap
file - as they switch between applications - then several times a day -
WOW a hang !).
