I have upgraded to TSText
1.18.5, I am downloading to a R-6 unit using GEMS 1.17.4, and it is extremely
slow in doing the download. Is this to be expected, or should it go
faster??? Will it go faster if I use GEMS 1.18???

Its worth mentioning
that downloading 4.x VIBS databases via the serial port is unbearably
slow. This will get a bit better once we support mp3, but for all but the
most trivial databases the serial port is still going to be too slow.
Until we come up with some product solution to this problem, the work around we
are using up here is to download over loopback using a notebook computer to a
card in the notebook's PCMCIA slot. You can also try using a PCMCIA
network card in R6. You'll need to set up the card in control panel ->
network, and then use Windows\flush.exe to write the configuration to permenant
storage.
Just want to save folks the trouble of sitting in front of their R6 waiting
for Godot. It doesn't work.
