Now using V1.9 of the patch, WinMX 3.53, W98, DSL connection, either as
a PRI or SEC (depending on mood!). Lag on chat is AWFUL! Also, can't
seem to PM, D/L or U/L. Killed my firewall, so that can't be it. Have
NOT modified HOSTS files, as I'm using the patch, as Perseus and
WinMXWorld recommends.

Any suggestions?!?
