I tried Stacker, and create a new partition without Stacker. After comparison,
I found that Stacker does slow down the system a lot, even though it might
not be noticable... you only observed the slow down when the application 
trying to access the disk. For example, I am testing out a Chinese word
processor that uses disk cache. With stacker, the screen update is unbearable.
So I deleted my 8MB volume with stacker, and replace it with 15MB. PC
Transporter is such a fun toy anyway, so don't mind spend a little more
harddisk space.

I am trying out the Quick Link II software that came with my GVC program.
I am still not able to connect outside. I saw the hang up work since the
TR light on the modem flash. But whenever I dial, nothing seems to happened.
Any clues?
