Re: Performance tips for WindowsNT on /400?

["DAVID BULOG" <d2ba@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You think your got  problems--On "each" NT workstation( P2/300 64meg ram)--I
am running eight 5250 TCP/IP Rumba sessions and four VB exes screenscraping
between the sessions .
In the end I will probaly reduce that to six sessions per workstation to get
100% realibility.
