windows in general! is about networking.  The great little dialer starting
w/ Warp 3 was so cool with all the settings all in one place.  I even
signed up back then with IBM as an ISP for awhile I was so pleased with how
straightforward it was.  Ahhh the good ol' days (well, not that good I

Hi Jimmy,

IBM also provided a very efficient Dialler for use under Windows 3.1x, 
unlike all the winsock flavoured ones - that is apart from the Trumpet 
Winsock developed here in Australia [in Tasmania].

I signed up with IBM Global Services too at that time, about 12 years 
ago - every call to their V34 modems was long-distance, no local access 
from here in non-metro Australia, so although the basic cost was IIRC, 
about $9.95/month [my Mastercard got charged each month by 
IBM.dk[Denmark!], when one added in the telecommunications charges, very 
high by comparison with US/Europe, it was very expensive! Glad things 
have improved a lot! :-)
