Just make sure you have the newer TIPX drivers.  They are on eSoft's ftp 
site and in TBBS.org's file download section.  It should be this one:

TIPX     EXE    22002   3-07-95   3:07p

A 486 should be fine, but TIAD has not be tuned for speed.  Most of what 
it does is copy data from one place to another though, and it barely 
touches the CPU even under heavy loads on a Pentium.

I will say that we have not tested it on non NT operating systems or 
Pentium machines.  The lowest combination I tried was a P133 running NT4.

Due to the networking nature of the application we're recommending NT, 
but I'm not using any Windows functions that only exist on NT.

Win95 or above IPX should work fine.  I ran it on NT4 which predates 98. :)
