Thumbs up

Click "Start", "Run", then type in sysedit.

Close all windows except for the system.ini window. Scroll down til you find the [386Enh] section. At the end of this section add the line Irq11=4096 but substitute the Irq of your NIC where mine says 11. Yours might be something like Irq13=4096 or Irq9=4096.

This will allocate 4 megs of memory for your NIC and will give you on average a 20% increase in speed over your lan, cable connection, or whatever is plugged into your NIC.

Here's what my entry looked like after I finished.

[386Enh]
ebios=*ebios
woafont=dosapp.fon
mouse=*vmouse, msmouse.vxd
device=*dynapage
device=*vcd
device=*vpd
device=*int13
device=*enable
keyboard=*vkd
display=*vdd,*vflatd
EMMExclude=C000-CFFF
Irq10=4096

When done just close and when prompted that the system.ini file has changed... do you want to save the changes? Hit yes.
