-> And do a heck of a lot of other stuff,  apparently!

It is indeed versatile!  And the programmer is a gentlman and a scholar.

-> Is that program dialup-only,  or is it usable in a LAN environment?

Well, to connect to the Web it's dialup.....  Can you LAN into it?  I
dunno, never even tried. I know it runs flawlessly in the same machine
Lantastic is running on......
(Anything that won't peacefully co-exist with Lantastic gets chunked
here.)

-> Any ideas about whether it'll run under DV?  I just browsed a bit
-> through the doc file, but the answers weren't apparent.

I don't see why not..... It's a very well behaved Dos app.  Never did
anything even remotely flaky while I was using it.  I have heard rumors
of it locking up, but the only way I experienced that was losing the
connection to the ISP. (Which happened a LOT in those days.  The ISP had
Telco problems galore, and was having lines dropped as other callers hit
the system.)

Actually, Roy, I liked it better than Netscape via Win 3.11 (Which was
all I had at the time)  Outlook Express has me spoiled now.....Win98.

Bring buck$$$$$ though.  I had three 16 Meg sticks of EDO RAM go south
with my P-Pro motherboard, and I'm hurtin for certain for RAM.
