When I saw Glen's post regarding memory limits, it reminded me of some
information that I picked up off another user group recently where a similar
problem was being discussed. Any of us who have a data feed or streaming
internet running, and several other programs simultaneously face this everyday.
It contains directions to increase your system resources by changing your
hardware status from its current role to Network Server. I have no experience
in this per say, and instead would like to solicit comments from anyone familiar
with it. I do have experience, as we all have had, in memory limits, and I have
come to understand that System Resource is different from RAM, and often the
culprit when having problems. Here is the text from a message for your
consideration on this problem:

I would suggest that anyone unfamiliar with the consequences of such
alteration--like me-- wait before trying this for advice from those with real
experience....just in case.
