Subj : OS/2 application stack space

Hello, All!

I'm thinking OS/2 is giving me signs that I may be pushing it too hard... I 
have a 850Mhz Athlon Thunderbird-powered computer for my BBS with 96MB RAM and 
two hard drives (OS/2 resides on a 2GB HD and the BBS lives on a 20GB HD).  I'm 
running Maximus/2 v3.01 with the Y2K fixes.

I also use this machine as my main Internet server.  I normally have 18-22 
programs running at all times for various services, etc.  What I'm noticing is 
some strange problems when callers come in with Max/2.  Max will suddenly just 
drop carrier on them as well as crash when looking at the Fidonet message area 
list (I carry the entire Fido backbone, about 430+ echoes).

What I'm thinking is that OS/2 may be running out of room and simply acting 
strangely.  I do have the OS/2 memory kludge in my BIOS turned OFF (I believe 
so-I can't reboot the machine right now to find out).

I have 192MB RAM in my other machine that I use heavily.  I may switch the RAM 
from that one over to this computer to see if that would help.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance,  
Sean
