ROM-DOS; Can you get the system.ini notepad in XP by Start\Run type in "system.ini"  then hit OK?
Same for win.ini.
I just wondered if this worked for XP?
I could post my system.ini file but it is long.

boywonder;Thanks
on the Com03Irq18buffer=4096 try it COM03IRQ18Buffer=8760
The 8760 comes from 6 X1460 =8760 1460 being my MSS.
You can try 8192 to see if it works better.
Add this line too
COM03IRQ18=115200 or what you use for Maximum speed in you modem properties.
I'm not really just how effective the 16-bit app support is with XP but if it decreases performance you can just delete it.

Got some trouble with packet loss well big problems in my game continuum and theres no config file i forced all the gfx to my memory, and turned off all the visuals i could

Ummm yeah about my MTU cholla what do you make of this http://www.mdgx.com/newtip7.htm#AOLMTU its about aol mtu .My isp isent a direct aol but its like a sister company and I think they share servers...
I play anytime lol and    its really bad at wee hours no ones on at ALL
