My understanding of the processes is that the Kernel is the ONLY thing that actually talks to the hardware. This is fairly normal for secure OS's. So apps running in Jaguar talk to device interfaces, that talk to the kernel, that talks to hardware. Apps running in Classic talk to the Classic environment, which fools the app into thinking it is talking to the hardware. Then the Classic environment, which is really just an application running in Jaguar talks to device interfaces, which talk to the kernal, which talks to the hardware. OS 9 (ie: NOT running in Classic), can talk directly to the hardware if it desires. >Under OS 9.x.x my schedules used to run flawlessly. >Under Classic/Jaguar the connection is too slow to connect and first >account times out. >The call is still made, its just slower. Why? This is what I am waiting >on Apple to answer. This just seems like a bottle neck in getting the response passed back up the chain. Remember, now to dial the modem, the modem connects, passes that info to the Kernel, which passes it to the modem device interface, which passes it to the Classic Environment application, which converts it into the appropriate hardware response and passes it to Emailer. Lots and LOTS of passing around, which all adds to a delay, and the possibility of something going wrong in the chain. This time out is not unique to Emailer. Other internet applications running in Classic experience the same problem, so it is a failure somewhere in Classic to Jaguar. I think if enough people report the issue to Apple they may work on a fix. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
